Cultivating corn shallow and level Esaves moisture and adds a few more {bushels to the yield. Ridging and deep stirring of soil are not recom- mended. Ridging exposes a greater Furface from- which 'soil moisture can escape and may cause severe root pruning. Demands of Labor and Export Condi- tlons Force Action: Many watch manufacturers have closed the doors of their shops, says a Berne despatch. Organized labor demanded higher wages, giving the higher cost of living as a reasgn. The manufacturers are unable to pay high- er wages, for export facilities are de- minishing rapidly and it is almost imâ€" possible to obtain certain raw mater. 13.15. The men employed as watch~ makers probably will find remunera~ tive work in munition shops, but it is feared that the Swiss watch industry will be ruined by war conditions and never recover from the blow.

Their worth is not half ap- preciated and with the war gardens flourishing apace there is a tendency to be wasteful when such an abund- ance of garden truck is available. As a matter of fact, their uses are not exhausted when they have been served as fresh greens, made into salads or boiled according to custom. Mufh of the sugar and mineral con- ten , so valuable and pleasant to the taste, is generally lost in cooking beâ€" cause women do not study ways and means to conserve it. None of the elements should be wasted. For in- stance, carrots, corn, peas, beets, are rich in sugar and the water in which they are cooked should be saved for soup. Spinach should always be cooked in its own juice and every spoonful saved. Onion water may be used for'gravies and soups. It is false economy to use cheap, inferior tea, for it yields so poorly in the teapot. Use only the genuine Salada to secure the maximum num- ber of cups to the pound and, in adâ€" dition, you will enjoy the unique flavor.

Ah Leone, a Chinese merchant in Hono- lulu, has been allowed to suspend busi- ness for one week, and donate to the Red Cross $1 000 in lieu of further 80/ tion on a charge of violating the “fifty-fifty" rule in /selling flour. 0n the first offense several weeks ago‘ the Chinese pleaded ignorance of the law and was allowed to continue busi- ness. About three weeks later he made another sale of flour without the : required amoupts of substitutes. J.

I can but kneel to Thee and pray: Be with him through the hellish fray And keep Thou safe my son! Then, while so sorrowed and bereft: Though only he to me was left, I could not say him nay, Who urged that duty bade him g His country called, he said, and so How could I bid him stay?

FOr little cost one can get a. small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain. This simple drug dries the moment it is applied and does not even irri- tate the surrounding skin while ap- plying it or afterwards. L Volunteer Rationing .in Canada. Each Province in the Dominion has been asked to form a scheme of ra- tioning for its own people.
