How do you teach advanced geography? and bow do you teach pupils to think? were thoroughly discussed by the teachers and omeof the patrons. Some strong point were . brought out in the How to Serve ' Foods Shot from Guns Serve them with cream, like other cereals. Or serve them with fruit. Serve them, like crackers, in a bowl of milk. Or serve them as they are in the package. 1 However you serve them, you'll find them the most enticing foods that you know. v Think of whole wheat or rice ker nels purled to eight times natural size. Made four times as porous as bread. Unbroken kernels, crisp and nut like, ready to melt in the mouth. Digestible kernelsjwith every starch granule literally blasted to pieces. Do you wonder that such foods have jumped into such popularity? Can you wonder that seventeen million dishes were consumed by people last month? See if your folks like them.

BLANKETS These are the foods invented by Prof. An derson, and this is his curious process: The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for sixty minutes in a heat cf 550 degrees. ' That fierce heat turns the moisture in the grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre mendous. . Then the guns are unsealed, and the steam explodes. Instantly every starch granule is blasted into a myriad particles. The kernels of grain are expanded eight times. Yet the coats are unbroken, the shapes are unaltered. We have simply the magnified grain. One package will tell you why people de light in them. Order it now.

Pltttourg. ra. kuanlWaMri AnatotaJ A 1.4a 'I X1A Painting Trunks of Fruit Trees. A physician, who is interested in fruit culture, wrote to Profes sor II A. Surlace, State Zoolo gist, Harnsburg, in reference to painting trees with white lead and linseed oil, as a protection against borers, as follows: "In tbe Reading Eagle, 1 saw a report of your demonstration giv en at the Poor House grounds at. Shillington, showing the advan tage of painting trunks of trees with white lead and raw linseed oil for borers. We have done this, but since heard that some Shillington fruit growers lost a great number of trees by this method. I write to you, asking as to the advantage of this treat meat, and if there is danger of smothering the trees by painting them." Tbe answer of State Zoologist Surface follows: "Replying to your letter of re cent date, I beg to say that 1 am deeply interested in your state ment that you have beard that the Shillington fruitgrowers lost a number of trees by painting them with white lead and linseed oil I must acknowledge that this is news to me, as I have not been informed concerning Buch loss. However, I do know that tens ol thousands of trees have been painted with this material In this State without injury to them. Of course, you understand that I recommend painting only apple, pear, and quince trees, as there is no advantage in painting peach trees, and the last named is more delicate than tbe others. Never theless, two years ago I painted my young peach trees, and this year took my most abundant and best crop of peaches from the trees that had been painted. I cannot believe that painting has hurt tbe trees to which you refer, unless "boiled" oil or im pure material were used. I should like to be informed as to just what persons lost their trees by painting them; how many they lost, and under what conditions. I should then like to trace up this information and see what mater ial was used, and where it was procured. ' I really think there is no danger when raw oil and pure lead are used. I have seen tens of thousands of trees painted lu Adams county by the extensive fruit growers of that county without any danger to any of the trees. They are continuing it after tour or five years of successful practice. "The advantage of painting the trunks of apple, pear and quince trees is, that the borers are kept out during the summer time, and the rabbits and mice are not near iy so liable to gnaw them in tbe winter. I think there is no ad vantage in painting peach and plum trees (unless it be for rab bits and mice), and, therefore, do not recommend it" Subscribe for the "Newt, 'only $1.00 a year. Millinery as a Business for Women. Millinery as a business for wo men is not an experiment. It has been tried successfully by thousands of woman the world over. Each year sees more wo men thrown on their own resourc es opening little millinery parlors in their own residence districts, and succeeding, too, unless Per chance they try to do more than they have the meins, tbe strength and the skill to do. The silly viewpoint that "being in trade" lowers a woman's social standing has changed to the modern spirit "I dignify my work. It cannot dignifv me." Millinery classes are to be found in most of the Young Wo man's Christion Associations, in trade and domestic art schools of colleges and universities. I do not believe this course has been introduced into the public schools to any great extent. Unless you are in touch with the Y. W. C. A and other classes, you will hnd no direct, way toward becoming a milliner save to work in the shop of an established one. I do not advise any girl to try to set up her own shop until she has had this apprenticeship; then you will learn the right way and the quick way of covering frames with net, buckram, velvet, lace, straw; making and arranging bandeaus; shaping hats to suit faces, trim ming, judging materials, gauging the cost and selling price of a hat, what to allow for the materials and for your skill and time. Ty ing ribbon bows has become an art, and girls are employed at ribbon counters to tie bows for customers, "free of charge.' This is a hint which may give you similar employment, or which you can use when you set up your own shop. "Millinery as an Uc cupation for Women," in The La dies' World for November, M. R.
