Now love makes the mind clean an J
el ear, so that it stops liking unclean
things like bad food and ugly squeezed
bodies and cigars. And love makes
the mind kindly, so that it does not
yearn for more than its share of other
people's money. So in the gaining or
the maintaining of health, too, love
Is the fulfilling of the law
And how about beauty? Why, beauty
is merely health plus love. There

things, for all things are ruled by
law; love Is the fulfilling of the law.

tucked sleeves of the underdress; in
front the bodice was cut into a high

for four or five inches; below it wao

that as a general rule the large-boll
sorts, Russel, Truitt, etc., are more
subject to wilt than other groups of
varieties. The most resistant of the
justify its general cultivation, but It
has been of value as a basis for breed
ing better races.
Egyptian .cotton is more resistant to
wilt than Upland cotton, but it has
not as yet been found practicable to
utilize this quality, as the Egyptian
varieties do not succeed in our South
eastern States and it' is easier to breed
resistance direct from Upland varie
ties than from crosses with Egyptian
cotton.
The individual differences in cotton
plants have been utilized as a basis
for breeding new resistant strains.
The work of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry has now been continued along
this line for eight years, and has re
sulted in the successful development
of two new varieties that can be
grown on the worst infected land, pro
vided a rotation of crops for the con
trol of root-knot is practical.
The development of such varieties
however, is neither quickly nor easily
accomplished, but requires breeding
by exact methods for several years.
It will not suffice to send pickers
through the fields to gather seed cot
ton from apparently resistant plants,
as some have recommended. Our ex
perience has been that such mass se
lection is expensive and ineffective.
Much of the seed obtained is taken
from plants not truly resistant, and
the succeeding crop, is nearly as much .

sistant and nonresistant plants greatly i
delays the results. The correct
method is to select, with great care
a small number of plants that appear
to be healthy, though growing in the
worst infected areas. The seed from
each of these plants must he kept
separate and planted In parallel rows
on infected land the next year. The

some cases aresisiani row or satis
factory quality has been found the
first year, and only two more sea
sons were required to multiply the
seed, but more often complete success
has not been had at once and the
work had to be repeated.
The origination of new wilt-resistant
varieties is work for the plant breeder
rather than the general farmer, and j
there is need for men in every county
to take up the business of breeding
to supply this demand. The farmer,
however, should practice selection to
further improve the strain purchased
from breeders, or at least to preserve
it from deterioration. The Bureau ot
Plant Industry desires to stimulate
the breeding and sale of improved
varieties of cotton. To this end it will
place the varieties already developed
In the hands of men who will improve
them and offer them for sale.

Enemies to Big Trees,
Natural influences In nearly all
parts of Block Island are so unfavor
able to tree growth that the planting
of trees with the expectancy of having
them attain even a fair size is not
practicable, is the conclusion reached in
a report prepared by R. L. Rogers, a
pecial investigator connected with the
United States bureau, of forestry.
Mr. Rogers says' that he finds the
residents of the island so discouraged
through failure to combat successfully
the gales and salt vapor of the island
that there is no sentiment that would
guarantee a united effort for reforest
ing the. island.

but thi3 day he felt so Joyous that he
actually treated.
"I did a nice bit of business to-day,"
he explained glowingly. "Picked up
a If tie more than $1,000 It was this
way: Half a dozen of us over in
Brooklyn formed a pool some years
ago to speculate in a mild way In real j
estate, each man putting up i,uuu or
$2,000. Several members of the pool
were real-estate men. and you know
real-estate men somet'mes have rare
bargains to offer if spot cash can be
obtained. We wanted to take advan -
tage of Just 'such bargains. We did,
and our little company we had in
cori orated progressed so much that
the shares were worth nearly $600
apiece. One of the members of the
pool died, and what do you think he
did? Split up his shares and willed
them to all sorts of persons. He left
two to an old woman out in Long Is
land who had some claim cr other on
him, and that's where the story comes
in. This old woman doesn't know a
share of stock from a royal flush," but
Bhe realized that it was worth some
thing, and seeing my name on the
certificate she wrote to me, saying it
seemed to be wortn $100, and asking
if I'd pay that much for it. What do
you think of that? Two shares for
$100, and the shares worth $600 a
piece, almost! I sent her $100 by re
turn mail, and I got her shares to-day
with a note thanking me kindly for be
ing so good to her. Haw! Haw! What
do you think of that?"

arose and poured his liquor into a

Not everyone is strong enough to
stand a shower bath, bu '.vhen taken
properly it has a tonic effect.
The best tesf whether it is beneficial
or harmful is whether one is in a glow
afterwards or feels creepy for several
hours.
The shock la not good for anyone
with a weak heart, and no one- who is
not well should use a shower except
by the advice of a physician.
As a rule, the best time for a cold
shower is on rising in the morning;
the system is strongest theu.
Do not stay under the shower too
long, a minute is quite long enough,
unless one has exceptional strength.
It is well to prepare for the cold
shower by dashing cold water on you
first or by taking a top id shower and
gradually gettinr lt colder. '
and by a few physical exercises. Some
women go back to bed for five minutes
after the bath before dressing. The
j rest overcomes any shock from tne
cold water.
Do not Btoop forward unduly In tak
ing a shower. It is; not good for the
spine to receive the first shock of cold
at the base of the brain or between
the shoulders. I

In this case the following method has
been recommended to restore their

Soak clothes over night In the
morning shave two cakes of good
laundry soap into a half bollerful of
water, adding two tablespoonfuls of
kerosene. Boll 20 to 30 minutes.
In taking the clothes from the boil
er drain all the suds back possible.
Rub on board. If the washing is mora
than one bollerful put back enough
of the suds after rubbing the clothes
-to keep the boiler hair full of suds.'
