HEALTH RULE. —“Be moderate or
temperate in all things.”
Living to be 91 years of age with
faculties unimpaired according to
Chauncey Depew, means learning to
be moderate, or temperate in all
things. With such a remarkable ex-
ample as Mr. Depew to prove the val-
ue of this health rule—it would be
wise for us all to practice it and
teach it to our children.
One of the most popular foods in
the diet of Americans is the orange.
Without doubt, it is one of the most
desirable and useful foods in the pro-
cesses of maintaining well being with-
in the human system.
The orange is a native of China.
It was brought from China and Bur-
ma into the Mediterranean countries
and into Arabia and Syria. The
Spaniards brought it to America. Al-
though prior to the fifteenth century,
the orange was not known in Europe,
its fame spread rapidly when once it
was introduced into the market. The
orange is a storehouse of many valu-
able and important elements. The av-
erage composition of an orange in
per cent of total amounts as shown
By careful analysis is:
48.94 per cent of potash
24.7% per cent of lime
0.97 per cent of iron
12.37 per cent of phosphoric acid.
0.65 per cent of silicon
2.5 per cent of soda
524 ner cent of sulphuric acid.
0.92 per cent of chlorine
The orange on account of its high
gontent of lime and magnesia is one
of the most important and userul
foods in the process of building bones.
The orange is one of the golden
gifts of nature to man. It furnishes
some of the finest food for immediate
absorption, assimilation and utiliza-
tion that can be obtained. It digests
quickly because of the predigestive
found in the orange juice. It refreshes
forme in which some of the material is
and nourishes quickly the exhausted
body without a tremendous effort in
the process of digestion.
The total caloric value of the edible
portion of oranges is 14.6 calories per
eunce, 2% times the value of chicken
soup, three times the value of celery,
twice the value of cauliflower, over
three times the value of waxed beans,
nearly a half again as rich in food
value as buttermilk, greater in food
value than oysters and not quite half
again as valuable as whole lobster as
purchased.
. The orange is an invaluable fruit
to counteract the tendencies of aci-
dosis and no doubt is one of the most
excellent means of stimulating the
bowels and of preventing the tenden-
cies toward old age. The orange and
the juice of the orange is one of na-
ture’s most useful and delightful rem-
edies in preventing accumulation of
material in the colon which leads to
that disagreeable and lifeshortening
malady of putrefaction and autointox-
ication.
The value of the orange cannot be
overestimated in cases of fever. Or-
anges should be fed freely to most
patients who are suffering from fe-
vered conditions. In fact, the orange
is so valuable in the diet of mankind
that it can be called “the king of
fruits.” ¥
Its use among small children is
recognized as extremely beneficial in
the prevention of scurvy, rickets and
pellagra. It is highly valuable as a
means of preventing malnutrition, in
assisting in growth, and in the stim-
ulation of the system, and in cases of
emaciation. The orange is unusually
rich in the valuable vitamin C which
has that remarkable tendency of help-
ing infants to grow and to be free
from many of the maladies which
bring about malnutrition and death.
In a recent experiment which I con-
ducted upon a large group of children
I found that the group which received
orange juice with milk gained nine
times as fast as the group which did
not receive orange juice. The use of
the: juice of the orange in the morning
may be considered one of the most
Beneficial habits human beings can
acquire. The extent to which oranges
are used within the home may large-
ly ‘determine the welfare and the
health of the family. They should
always be found on the table. They
should be accessible to young grow-
ing: children. They should be eaten
freely and often because they are lit-
tle bags of health surrounded by a
covering which keeps them clean and
sanitary until they are ready for use.
Truly, an orange a day will surely
help to keep the doctor away.
No one can get around the fact that
five toes need a certain space of a
certain. general shape if they are to
spread out naturally and comfortably.
When jammed inte shoes with point-
ed, needle-like toes, the feet are sure
to be cramped, twisted, and finally de-
formed. Toes are buckled and piled
on one another and bones are bent.
Other foot troubles develop. Take the
picture of a woman’s shoes with a
pointed toe. The shoe violates one of
the points especially stressed by those
who have studied the fitting of shoes,
ang that is that the inner line of the
shoe must be. straight. To be com-
fortable, safe, durable and attractive,
shoes for everyday wear must con-
form; to the natural shape of the feet
and, protect them.

WILL INVESTIGATE
AIRPLANE MENACE.
Recalling the fact that each year
several United States army air serv-
ice pilots come to grief on the rugged
mountain slopes in the vicinity of
Uniontown, Pa., scientific investiga-
tion to determine whether a deadly
airplane menace hangs over that sec-
tion is to be undertaken by the Penn-
sylvania State Aeronautical commis-
sion.
The investigation is to be made in
connection with the work of survey-
ing and routing new airplanes across
the Keystone State.
In years gone by, when Langin
field, Moundsville, was the midway
station on the model airway between
Dayton, Ohio, and Washington, the
fall and winter was a usual period for
crashes in the mountain sections. Al-
most miraculously the pilots of army
planes escaped death one year, when
there were no less than nine valuable
ships hauled from the mountain re-
cesses as wrecks after the pilots had
lost control.
Many airmen assert that a myster-
ious threat to flying men lingers over
sections of the high ridge which sep-
arates the seaboard from the vast
continent to the west. They point to
the death of Pilot E. R. Emory, of
Newark, Ohio, and William D. Zoll-
man, mechanic, of Frederickstown,
Ohio, who were killed when their
plane, modern in every respect, was
wrecked. Both men tried to jump, but
had no time. Their broken bodies
were found beside their wrecked plane
in the mountain forest.
And the pilots point also to a fact
long known to dwellers in the moun-
tains; that there are certain spots
birds avoid in their flight. Even in
the spring and autumn migrations,
when the birds generally fly in a
straight airline, they detour from
these suspected areas.
There may be a key to the condi-
tions when it is established why mot-
orists traveling the National or Lin-
coln highways over the “Big Fellow”
suddenly find their motors stalled.
There seems to be a peculiar atmos-
sphere “in spots,” unbalanced air
probably, or that condition which all
research in physics seems to disprove
—an atmospheric vacuum.
Aviators may have this same motor
trouble over the mountains, it is
pointed out, and they talk of “the
Pennsylvania ridges as of “bad lands”
or in the vernacular of the air, as
“bad clouds.” A number of machines
dependable in every way have been
wrecked in the mountains—they just
have dropped.
What did the aviators, who looked
death in the face, see? What did
they realize in the hurtling flash of
their descent in their helpless, slip-
ping planes? If any in that instant
comprehended the cause of the disas-
ter, the knowledge died with him.
None who fell over the mountain lived
to disclose it.

Corn Sugar to Take ;
Rightful Place on Market.
In the search for farm relief cure-
alls, many things that could be dcne
to help the agricultural situation are
ovér-looked. - Take the case of corn
sugar, for instance.
The scientists in the Department
of Agriculture who control the ad-
ministration of the Pure Food and
Drugs Act are depriving Ame:icen
farmers of a market for twenty mill-
ion or more bushels of corn annualiy
by ruling against the use of corn
sugar in certain food products unless
such a product is branded as cen-
taining dextrose, while cane ard beet
sugar are sucrose. Both, of cour:e,
are sugar, but the scientists declare
that “sugar is the product chemiec-
ally known as sucrose, chiefly obtain-
ed from sugar cane, sugar beets, sor-
ghum, maple and palm.” Corn sugar
is not as sweet as cane or beet sugar,
but it is in every respect as whole-
some a food, while for some purposes
it is superior.
No objection is made when corn
sugar is used in the manufacture of
candy, ice cream or bread, without
designation, but this sugar is held to
be an adulterant if so used in canned
fruits or vegetables, preserves, jellies,
jams, soft drinks, or condensed milk.
Corn sugar cannot even be used in the
curing of meats, if they are to be
branded as sugar-cured.
In short, by denying that corn sug-
ar is sugar in important usages, the
super-critics in the Department of
Agriculture confine the market for
this most healthful product to re-
stricted channels, rob the corn grow-
ers of a large market outlet and com-
pel unnecessarily large importations
of foreign sugar.
Bills were introduced in the last
Congress to give corn sugar its right-
ful place. Similar measures will be
before the present Congress. But
legislative action should not be nec-
essary. The absurd ruling of the de-
partment scientists ought to be
changed.
Only ten to fifteen per cent of the
total corm crop reaches the price-
making markets. An increased de-
mand for even twenty million bushels
in that market would have a decidedly
helpful effect upon prices.
Gold Star Mothers May Visit Graves
. in Europe.
Without protest or debate, the
House on Tuesday approved a bill to
enable mothers and widows of war
veterans buried in Europe to make a
pilgrimage to American cemeteries
overseas at government expense. The
widows would be restricted to those
who have not remarried.
The measure, which now goes to
the Senate, would empower the Presi-
dent, co-operating with the American
Red Cross, to arrange for the pil-
grimages “at any time during the
three years from July 1, 1928.”
The mothers and widows would be
taken to Europe in groups, each group
remaining abroad approximately two
weeks, First class accomodations
would be provided either on govern-
ment owned or chartered ships. Pass-
ports would be arranged for by the
state department and immigration
laws would be suspended in the case
of aliens.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT
It's a hard old struggle
And a long rough way
But there's beauty in the battle
That we fight each day.
—Baltimore Sun.
Conventional styles are again the
smartest and the dresses inspired by
the old Paris masters are more or
less left to the very young and the
few willing to sacrifice style to mdi-
viduality. Evening functions of the
formal sort, receptions of state, gala
nights and big public balls see fewer
and fewer of the wide-skirted cre-
ations designed by important dress-
makers.
They have not disappeared, how-
ever, for certain Parisian style mak-
ers adore the robes de style and will
continue for a long time to come to
create them for a few chosen clients.
But the majority of the society wom-
en in Paris prefer the newer dresses
of tulle, the chiffons of many ruifles
and the graceful dresses of draped
velvet.
At the Ritz, where society is danec-
ing again, velvet and chiffon evening
dresses of slender silhouette and dis-
guised fullness are popular. Some of
the smartest women prefer the very
new models which barely clear the
floor in back and lift to the knees in
front. These sikrts are often made
up rifle or ruffle of soft chiffon, or
fall like a cascade of many skirts.
The strass and bead-embroidered
dresses have by no means disappeared.
There is much black velvet embroid-
ered with strass, often in designs of
parallel lines. Black chiffon is also
strass trimmed.
The simple dress of velvet may
FARM NOTES.
Make a germination test of all seed
to be used and then plant only that
which is good. Successful farmers
do not plant poor seed.
Good tools and equipment may
mean the difference between a good,
clean, well-cultivated garden and one
full of weeds. A little time spent
now in overhauling garden tools will
bring ample payment during the com-
ing spring and summer.
In corn borer infested areas all
corn stalks or corn remnants of the
1927 crop in the field, in the barnyard
or elsewhere about the farm, unless
ensiled, should he destroyed by burn-
ing, plowing under, or finely shred-
ding, say State College entomologists.
In preparation for the arduous
spring work, give the farm horse
plenty of exercise. More attention
should be given to grooming now than
was considered necessary during win-
ter in order to remove the excess of
dirt and hair. Trim the feet if ir-
regular, and in the case of brittle
hoofs put on a plate to prevent break-
ing of the side walls.
Plant potatoes this spring on well- *
drained soil of good fertility. An
open soil, such as a shaley or gravel-
ly loam, is preferable to a heavy ciay
soil and produces cleaner potatoes of
better shape and usually of better
quality. Plenty of organic matter is
highly desirable because it helps hold
moisture and on the heavier
has a desirable loosening effect.

Top coats for morning and town
wear are broadening across the shoul-
ders by Parisian decree. Raglan
sleeves are featured in the models of
leading sports houses and many coats
bave sleeves sewed on to a low shou!-
der in semi-raglan effect.
For travel and sports the tweed
coat has always an important place.
Long loose lines and vatch pockets
make this model particularly useful
and practical. A deep shawl collar
of natural opossum is smart and often
useful for warmth. Such a coat is
easily slipped on over a cloth suit or
a jersey sports ensemble. As tweed
is almost impervious to bad weather,
it is by far the most suitable fabric
for sports wear and travel.
Baldness among women is on the
increase, say London beauty doctors,
who contend the bobbing fad is re-
psonsible, indirectly.
Because of the “thinning a bit on
top” among their clients, numerous
hairdressers have resorted to the vio-
let ray treatment as an aid in bring-
ing the scalp back to its normal con-
dition.
Since short hair became the vogue,
say the beauty experts, women have
neglected to brush their hair vigor-
ously as they did formerly. That has
caused most of the trouble.
Instead of brushing the hair everw
day, it has become customary merely
to run a comb through it, and the
scalp suffers from lack of proper
treatment and falling hair is often
the consequence.
In this day of servant troubles and
the three-room suite with kitchenette
we do not hear so much of the draw-
ing room as we used to. However,
where there is the luxury of a house
we do still find, occasionally, a relic
of the formal parlor style of room
called the drawing rcom. In England,
incidentally, in quite small “villas,”
as they call suburban houses, the
term is still used, even though the
room designated is what we would
call a living room.
On its face the word “drawing
room” gives not the slightest hint “of
its origin—yet how obvious once it is
revealed! For it is merely a contric-
tion for the original “withdrawing
room,” to which the ladies withdrew
after dinner while the gentlemen sat
over the wine!
If your family wants an unusual
and also a delicious dessert try ‘an
“upside down” pineapple cake. It
may be served with or without
whipped cream or hard sauce. The
two parts are prepared separately and
then put together in the way de-
csribed by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
PINEAPPLE MIXTURE
1, cup sugar 2 tablespoons pine-
2 tablespoons butter apple juice
3 slices pineapple,
Stir the sugar until it is melted in
a smooth frying pan, then allow it to
brown. Add the butter and the pine-
apple juice and cook until a fairly
thick syrup is formed. Place the sec-
tions of pineapple in the sirup and
cook for one or two minutes or until
they are light brown, turning them
occasionally. Have ready a well-
greased, heavy baking pan or glass
baking dish, place the pinapple on the
bottom, and pour the syrup over it.
Allow this to cool so it will form a
semi-solid surface, then pour in the
following cake batter:
14 cup butter flour
% cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking
1 egg ing powder
1 cup milk 1% teaspoon salt
1% cups soft wheat 1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream the butter, add the sugar,
add the well-beaten egg, and vanilla.
Sift the dry ingredients together
twice and add alternately with the
milk to the butter, sugar and egg
mixture. Pour this over the pineap-
ple. The batter is rather thick and
may need to be smoothed on top with
a knife. Bake slowly in a very mod-
erate oven (300 to 325 degrees) for
three-quarters of an hour, Loosen
the sides of the cake, turn it out
carefully, upside down. If the fruit
sticks to the pan lift it out and place
it on the cak: in the place where it
should be.

be started at four weeks and requires
another two weeks before they should
be weaned from the milk.
It is also possible to include some
dry skimmilk in the grain mixture
and in that way continue to feed this
material for some time after the calf
is weaned from remixed skimmilk or
buttermilk in which case the remixed
product may be discontinued some-
what earlier.
There is little reason to fear a
shortage or excessively high prices of
dry skimmilk. The present production
of this material amounts to about
91,000,000 pounds a year and only two
per cent of the available supply of
skimmilk is used. The production in
1921 was 38,000,000 pounds. The price
varies with the season and with the
quality. The bakery, confection and
ice cream trades take the bulk of the
best grades. The production of dried
buttermilk is about half as much and
the price runs slightly lower.
Each dairyman must decided for
himself if either of these products
offer possibilities to raise his calves
at lower cost. He must be able to
rezlize sufficiently more from his
whole milk to balance the extra cost
of these materials over the ordinary
skimmilk. The convenience of this
method is in its favor, requiring only
a few minutes time and facilities for
heating the water as contrasted with
the labor of separating the milk. The
calves may be fed at the most con-
venient time instead of delaying the
feeding until milking is finished and
; the milk is separated as with ordinary
skimmilk.
The price that dairymen must pay
for the powdered by-products or for
commercial calfmeals will depend to
quite an extent on local conditions
and the method of buying. If the ma-
terial is used extensively in a com-
munity the turnover of dealers will
be more rapid, making possible more
favorable prices. Cooperative pur-
chasing thru the cow testing associa-
tions or other farmers’ organizations
is also possible and should make sub-
stantial savings possible.
Columbian raspberries are pruned
niuch the same as black raspberries.
When the new shoots are about 18
inches high they should be topped so
that they will branch. In some sec-
tions it is the practice to wait until
these new shoots have reached the
height of 3 feet and then cut them
back to 18 inches, but there is no ne-
cessity of waiting until they reach
that height. By waiting the plant is
merely divitalized that much more,
says the Rural New Yoiker, It is bet-
ted to do the tipping when the plants
have reached the desired height. Then
the following spring the laterals on
the canes that are left for fruiting
should be shortened to about 8 to 12
inches.
New canes are rooted along in Au-
gust when the tips of the shoots have
a characteristic “snaky” look, due to
the fact that there are very few
leaves at the tips. In sod these tips
will catch and root, but in cultivated
soil it is customary to make a small
hole in the ground and stick them into
it, or else to throw a clod of dirt on
them in order to hold them in place.
In case of the commercial fruit
grower, dependent upon long-distance
shipment, it is seldom advisable to
grow more than one kind of fruit,
certainly not more than two or three
kinds. This is true because each fruit
requires special treatment and more
or less distinct technique in the
methods employed in its culture.
Again, fruit production is tending to-
day toward specialization, in which
a fruit is chosen and grown because
of its adaptation to a particular lo-
cality, and in which the grower him-
self lends his best effort to the pro-
duction of a type that will meet com-
petition and satisfy the demands of a
discriminating trade.
A farm implement in the shelter is
worth two in the storms.
Poultry usually do not need such
things as yeast, mineral or tonics it
they receive adequate rations.
A grooved surface on a concrete ap-
proach to a raised driveway will as-
sure a firm foothold.

placed directly over an old wooden

with This Instantaneous Dip
Treat your seed potatoes as fast you can scoop them up. Just dip
them in DIPDUST solution and out again—all ready to plant.
DIPDUST protects the seed and insures a heavy, profitable yield.
It is much more effective than the old-fashioned “two-hour soak”
treatment—besides there is not the slightest danger of injuring the
sprouts or even cut seed.
After one trial of DIPDUST you will never again waste two hours
treating seed potatoes or spend two weeks worrying about your stand.
Compare this New Treatment with the older ones:

1. Require from 1% to 2 hours.
One man can treat only from 50 to
75 bushels per day.
1. Requires less than 1 minute.
One man can easily treat from 200
to 400 bushels of potatoes per day.
2. Can not be used on cut or
sprouted seed without injury.
3. Before cutting, give no protec-
tion to the cut surfaces. The seed
frequently. decays in the ground
before the young plants get start-
ed.
4. Although effective against Rhiz-
octania, and scab, do not control

5. Frequently decrease the stand,
and therfore the yield, to a ser-
ious extent.
One pound treats 15 to 20 bushels of seed potatoes.
Treat your Corn and Vegetable Seeds too
You can now also disinfect your seed corn and
vegetable seeds with DIPDUST and increase your
vield by preventing many of the diseases which
cause poor germination, weak, spindly plants, and
poor quality crop. Simply use as a dust treat-
ment. It is easily and quickly applied and costs
but a few cents per acre. One pound of DIPDUST
will treat six bushels of seed corn, or from six to
seed without the slightest injury.
3. After cutting, protects the cut
surfaces from seed-rotting organ-
isms in the soil. This insures a
better stand of stronger plants.
4. Controls surface-borne diseases,
such as Rhizoctonia, scab and
black-leg.
5. Improves the stand and growth
of the plants, and thus increases
the yield 10 to 20%.
