Attracted by the enor mous profits to be made in funeral goods, more men are constantly swarming into the business. At the I time the School of Philanthropy made ; its investigation there were, according ; to a church paper, four hundred and ten undertakers in Chicago. On the 1 average, each undertaker secured a ' trifle more than one funeral a week. In New York city there were eleven hundred undertakers and about sev enty-four thousand deaths annually, which gave each undertaker an aver : age of less than four funerals in three 1 weeks. For the country as a whole the ; average was less than one funeral a week for each undertaker. Some un dertakers got more than one-half of all the business during a given fort night, leaving four hundred and ' twenty-nine undertakers to divide the ; other half. Many undertakers had no funerals at all during these two weeks. In the course of an entire year they would secure only a handful. Others would get only one or two funerals a month. Yet each under taker had to keep up his establishment —where he had one—pay office rent, bills for light and heat, clerk hire and other expenses, and in addition make a living, all from the profits of one or two funerals a month. But it is not the lack of business alone that makes necessary this great margin of profit. One of "the leading undertakers of New York city said to me: "There is every cent of fifty thou sand dollars in unpaid bills on our books. We have to make that loss up or we could not stay in business. So we have to charge high prices and the people who do pay make up for those ■who don't." is "Untouched by hands** I —there are 6ix more in 1 Sterftng Gum I point dum Bringing Up Father $ #####% McManas —— —Y' ' " V ~N ■ ■■■■' ■ "«■■-!!

C., Aug. 30.—Repre sentative Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, who has succeeded Underewood as floor leader and chair man of the ways and means commit tee, has taken the stand that in the event of war the United States would only have to protect her coast by sub marines and mines. He declared that he favored spending millions for sub marines and mines, but very little for the army and nothing for the navy- He added that he would fight vig orously any larger army and navy propaganda. Some fear is felt that Kitchin's statement presages a break with the administration, as the floor leader is usually considered the administration spokesman in the House. President Wilson's exact attitude regarding the navy is not definitely known, but it is certain that the floor leader and the President will be at odds over the army issue. POISON IVY CITRE This is what we use in our famllv for a poison ivy cure, says a writer in Farm and Home: Tansy tea. made good and strong—wash affected parts fre quently, and drink some three or four times a day. Make it nice and fresh for every drink. It Is blond cooling and purifying, and it seems to make one less susceptible to the poison. GIANT SEQUOIA TREES ARE 3,000 YEARS OLD More Than a Million Monster Sequoias Grow Together in One National Park The Sequoia National Park is twen ty-four years old, yet. east of the Rockies, it is scarcely known. Yel lowstone and Yosemite are the only two names which the enormous ma jority of easterners think of when Na tional Parks are mentioned. Neverthe less. Sequoia is. perhaps, in point of average beauty, the superior of all. It was dear to the heart of John Muir, Father of National «Parks and Chief Geographer R. B. Marshall, who knows them all as no other man knows them, having surveyed or traversed them in person has declared in print that it possesses beauty as great as all others combined. It is par excellence the camping out park, as some day will he dis covered. Perhaps the most potent reason for its lack of celebrity Is that this Is the Big Tree Park, and the general public associates the Big Trees of California with Yosemite. The Mariposa Grove, within easy reach of the Yosemite Valley, contains several enormous sequoia trees. In fact the Yosemite National Park contains three groves of these giants, the two others being the Merced and Tuolumne Groves, which lie within easy reach to the north west. The Sequoia National Park, however which lies many miles south of Yose mite, was created to preserve, for the use and pleasure of the people of the United States, by far the greatest groves of the oldest, the biggest, and I the most remarkable trees living In this world. They number 1,166,000. iOf these, 12,000 exceed 10 feet In diameter. The General Sherman tree, most celebrated of all, is 279.9 feet high with a diameter of 36.5 feet. The Arabhain Lincoln tree is 270 feet high with a diameter of 31 feet. The William McKinley tree is 291 feet : high with a diameter of 28 feet. Of Mighty Dimensions The General Grant National Park Is I usually mentioned with Sequoia be cause though separated by six miles of mountain and forest, the two are practically the same national park. It contains only 2,523 acre sand was created only for the protection of the General Grant tree, a monster sequoia 264 feet high and thirty-five feet in diameter. But General Grant shares his domain with distinguished neigh bors. notably the George Washington tree, which Is only nine feet less in height and six feet less In diameter. The sequoias are the oldest living things in this world. "They are the connecting link." writes Ellsworth Huntington, "between the ancient East and the modern West, "Three thousand fence posts suffi cient to support a wire fence around 8,000 or 9,000 acres, have been made from one of these giants, and that was only the first step toward using its huge carcass. Six hundred and fifty thousand shingles, enough to cover the roofs of seventy or eighty houses, formed the second item of its product. Finally there still remained hundreds of cords of firewood which no one could use hecause of the pro hibitive expense of hauling the wood out of the mountains. The upper third of the trunk and all the branches lie on the ground where they fell, not vis ibly rotting, for the wood is wonder fully enduring, but simply waiting till some foolish camper shall light a de vastating fire. "Huge as the sequoias are, their size is scarcely so wonderful as their age. A tree that has lived 500 years is stil in its early youth: one that has rounded out 1,000 summers and win ters is only in full maturity; and old age, the three score years and ten of the sequoias does not come for seven teen or eighteen centuries. Why Businessmen See the Return of Prosperity THere are the salient facts in the business situation of the country to dav as outlined in interviews with representative men of various in dustries by the New York Sun:] The United States for the first time in its history has a balance of trade in its favor with all countries. Confidence is returning. Money is plentiful, but is waiting to be convinced that investments mean continuing returns. The wheat crop will he large and the money from last years yield is going into business. Southern planters are hopeful re garding the cotton situation. T>ack of dyestuffs Is hampering the enlargement of textile industries. Railroad men are pessimistic. War orders are creating a boom In many industries.

A few years ago It was one of pure foods. Now, that we have them, interest has swung round to discovering which of these better articles are most suited as ordinary necessities. It is a live Issue, many of the best dailies and magazines gladly devot ing unusual space and pains to the subject. The more that honey and all such natural foods as fruits and vegetables are investigated by the thoughtful public, just that much more will they be used. Why not? Prepared foods are the equal of what mother earth provides only In that they can be stowed away and kept for future needs. It would be as illogical to say that artificial pre parations were superior, as that some gas or smoke was better for breathing than pure air. It is time for farmers to aid and support such Investigations, as the result is more to their advantage than most consumers.—Farm Life. A FARM GIRI/S ROMANCE A dramatic novel, with a beautiful happy ending, could be made from the adventures of Myra Dietz. You will probably remember her father, John Dietz, the famous "defender of Cameron Dam," in Wisconsin. In one of the many pitched battles over this dam, Myra Dietz was wounded with a bullet, and came near flying. Afterward, when the picture people went to take "movies" of this cele brated event Mr. Newman, the camera man, met Myra Dietz. They fell in love and were married and have been living happily ever since. Now, to make the story complete, the people have bought a 240-acre farm in Marinette county. Wis., which farm is to be improved under direction of the county agi«»ultural school. In a few years, when Mr. Newman gives up the moving picture business, they will retire to their own farm. Could you think of a better plot for a story. —Farm Life. SODA BISCUITS In making baking powder or soda bisfuits, it is important to mix with a spoon, and avoid molding or working AUGUST 30, 1915. with the hands. After mixing to a stiff I dough with the spoon,.turn on a floured I board, and either pat out gently with | the hand, or roll with a rolling: pin, j being careful to avoid bearing down heavily. The rising agent is also im portant. Commercial baking powders j should be of the very best. The old- j fashioned way of using two teaspoons of cream of tartar to one teaspoon of baking soda to about a quart of flour, is still by far the most healthful as well as the most successful way of raising sweet milk biscuits or breads. This can always be used In a receipt calling for baking powder. It is bet ter to mix the tartar and soda only as wanted. Thus says a Wisconsin house keeper, writing for Farm and Home.
