P., who has just investigated-the conditions under which fruit and other food are prepared In the Near East. Doctor Guest found that In Smyrna figs, sultanas, and currants are packed on dirty floors, trodden by bare feet coming unwashed from the streets and gutters, and tainted by all the Indescribable filth of the East. In theory the consumer 1 Is protected by certain safeguards. In practice, the rules are completely disregarded and the medical examination is the merest formality.” j* Five Years Mrs. T. G. Winter, president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, said in Minneapolis the other day: “Women are now more careful, even more reluctant, about jnarrying, because they can now go out in the world and earn splendid salaries. Marriage Is, in a financial way, a great sacrifice to some women. “Two women mft the other day In a department store. One, a spinster, wore a sealskin coat. The other, a matron, wore a threadbare blue serge. “ ‘Why, Mabel!’ said the spinster. ’How glad lam to see you. And they itell me you’re married. How long have you been married, dear?’ “ ‘Let me see,’ said Mabel. ‘I bought this blue serge five years ago.’ ’’

BEES NEED WINTER CARE; GOOD PROTECTION PAYS IVith Hie coming of winter and ils accompanying cold weather the beekeeper will find it profitable to give careful consideration to the protection of his bees during this unfavorable period. “Many beekeep- •“* do not .understand the purpose of giving bees extra protection during the winter and this question frequently is asked of us,’’ says Prof. J. J. Davis, head of the Entomology department of the Purdue university agricultural experiment station “To undertsand why bees need extra protection one should understand the winter habits of bees said Professor Davis. “Bees, unlike most other insects, do not lie dormant during the winter. They , must maintain a moderate temperature within the hive. If the temperature goes below a certain point they must raise it and this they do by muscular activity in a similar way to a man doing his ‘daily dozen.’ However, in creating this heat the bees are using up muscular tissues and are unlike human beings in that they are unable to rebuild their tissues. Consequently if the bee must use up its strength

keeping the hlvp warm in the winter, it is worn out by spring and unable to build up a satisfactory colony for the honey flow.” "The purpose of giving bees protection during the winter, therefore, is to maintain a moderate temperature in the hive and prevent sudden changes. This will enable the ..bees to~ maintain "a" ffniffirtn Temperature with the least expenditure of labor. This will not only save Lfhet energy of the b&s, but will save stores, decrease mortality and permit earlier and more prolific brood rearing in ■the spring.” Various methods of protection have been suggested. Cellars are sometimes used, but are not advisable fqr southern Indiana as there are too many cleaning flights in the winter. More often the hives are packed in wooden or tar paper packing frames with saw dust, wood chips, or leaves as an insulator. Whatever the packing used it, should be kept dry. Bees should be placed in their winter quarters about' the middle or last of October. Full information is given in Extension Bulletin No. 85, of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station, Ind., and will be mailed free to those requesting it.

Not long since the Fanners alii ance in the vicinity of Nappanee concluded they would’do away with the “middle man" and buy a car load of illuminating oil. They got a car load of sixty barrels from Franklin. Pa., at a eost of 8% cents per gallon and it was duly shipped hero in the name of James Masters, a farmer who recently moved to town. Now there is no law to prevent an oil company front shipping oil into Indiana, but there is one to prevent such oil being handled before it receives the Indiana test. However, a tester was procured and it was fixed up at a cost of $7.60. A cow owned by Warren Berlin is reported to have gone mad after being bitten by the mad dog last week. On Tuesday the cow began to act queer and chased her mates and other stock around the farm. On Wednesday morning a genuine case of rabbies had developed.
