STORING POTATOES IN PITS

KNIFE DEFLECTED BY LEATHER BELT

By P. G. HOLDEN.

OTATOES may be stored in pits, out of doors, successfully If the pits

are provided with good-drainage and ventilation and the potatoes are

B given such covering as will protect them from external heat and cold.

For such a pit a well-drained site, or one which can be easily drained. Is the first essential. In depth the excavation may be anywhere from practically nothing to two or more feet, but It Is generally best not to excavate more than six inches. The pit should be long and narrow, as shown in figure 2. The size of the pit, to a certain extent, must depend upon the quantity of potatoes to be stored, but too large a quantity should never be stored in one pit. In preparing the pit a light layer of straw should be placed on the floor to keep the potatoes from coming in direct contact with the soil, and some

! Why Society Women ! Wash Their Own Hair I : : They do, not because it is a fad, but because they wish to obtain the greatest possible hair beauty and be sure they are not using anything harmful. They have found that In washing the hair it is never wise to use a makeshift but is always advisable to use a preparation made for shampooing only. Many of our friends say they get the best results from a simple home-made canthrox mixture. You can use this at a cost of about three cents a shampoo by getting some canthrox from your druggist, and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes enough shampoo liquid to apply to all the hair instead of Just the top of the head, as with most preparations. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear in the rinsing water. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its lustre and softness wL'l also delight you. Adv.

FIG 1.- CROSS SECTION OF POTATO PIT SHOWING LAYERS OF STRAW AND SOIL,. provision should be made for ventilation to permit the evaporation of such moisture as may rise from the potatoes. The potatoes should be piled in a ridge, in the shape of an Inverted V, as shown in figure 1. This will expose a greater area of the pile to the circulation of air and will shed rain much better. ' Covering the Potatoes. To protect the potatoes from cold and heat, they should be covered with alternate layers of straw or hay and soil. The first layer should be straw or hay; the second should be just sufficient soil to prevent injury to the potatoes by light or frost. This will quickly cool off the potatoes and free them from the moisture resulting from the sweating process. As the temperature lowers, more hay or straw and another layer of soli should be added. The two layers of straw and two of soil will be sufficient protection except where the temperature drops to 20 degrees below zero, or lower, when an extra layer of each will be necessary. When pressed down, each layer of straw should be about six Inches thick and the top layer of soil may be trora six to eight inches deep, according to the amount of rain or snow that may ba

i expected during the period the potatoes are to remain in storage. I Excellent ventilation may be furnished by a wooden flue, as shown in ! figure 1. The lower end of the flue should extend nearly to the bottom of the ! pit and the upper end should project above the top layer of soil. The flue should have a wooden cap to keep out the rain and snow, but it should be so

constructed that, during extremely cold weather, It -can be closed tightly. While potatoes stored in such a pit are not readily accessible during winter, they will keep In almost perfect condition until spring, if careful atten

tion is given to the proper construction and protection of the pit.

By J. N. HURTY, State Health Officer. Economy, happiness and patriotism, all demand that we keep well. We cannot always prevent being Bick, but we can most of the time. For instance, quit eating bo much meat and chew more thoroughly. This alone will help you greatly to keep well. The thorough chewing also will enable you

to cut down the quantity of your food from thirty to forty percent, for It has proved over and over we need less food if we chew it welL Don't ignore this economy. Patriotism strongly demands It of you. Just to think thorough chewing will save you money, will increase your strength and good feeling and will be patriotic. Now of all times is the time to keep well. Other suggestions in this line could be made and here is one. Typhoid fever is pretty well spread

The Citizens Committee purposes to present to the voters in the coming city election next November the names of candidates for all elective city offices without concern about their former affiliation with any organization of a political nature men who are recognized by their fellow-citizens as men of integrity, clean and capable of intelligently and conscientiously performing their duties as city officers. It is understood the sole ambition of these men will be to add to the greater growth and progress of the city. They shall pledge themselves to an unbiased and business-like administration of the business affairs entrusted to them to the end that business and manufacturing industries will thrive, public utilities be fairly and squarely dealt with, labor encouraged and strict economy prevail in all departments of the city government. Alfred Bavis, who is recognized as one of the best informed city officers in the State of Indiana, has consented to be the candidate for mayor on the Citizens Ticket. For four years past his entire time and undivided attention has been centered on the business affairs of the city; and for faithful service- and intelligent industrious application to duty, his record distinguishes him as a most4 trustworthy and fit person to be placed at the head of our city government. He proposes to devote his whole time and attention to the office if elected and promises to bring to the administration of the city's affairs the best obtainable in civic administration and as dictated by a conscientious desire to give to the people of the city the very best service available. The respective candidates for clerk, council in the several wards and councilmen-at-large, shall be men who have a keen appreciation of the responsibility of representing their respective constituencies, men who are recognized as clean intelligent gentlemen, who are worthy and capable of doing the job entrusted to them. With the single purpose of making Richmond a bigger and better place in which to reside, the Citizens Committee extends an invitation to every man and woman in the city, regardless of politics, to unite in the careful selection of a firstclass man to fill each city of f ice next November.
