And eave a hundred household strikes.

Some one I know, would be quite 
blue, if it would do the least bit of good, 
but it takes something more than worry 
to kill bean beetles, make corn ear out 
after the stalks have hardened, and dead 
chickens came back to life. One may as 
well work a bit harder and keep the 
corners of the month from sagging down. 
As yet, there has always been a way out. 
The tobacco crops look very discour¬ 
aging; more than two-thirds frenched. 
You may not know what that is; the 
leaves turn white-looking, thicken up and 
get right stringy. Lee’s crop is badly 
afflicted, though we have plastered and 
done all we know too. He is. very easily 
discouraged, and was for giving up, but 
I prevailed on him to keep working. A 
few dollars are better than none. 
The yellow plums were a beautiful 
crop, and we have been able to supply 
our neighbors as well as ourselves. One 
of our neighbors picked and hauled a 
load of nice apples to Johnson City and 
sold them for 25 cents per bushel. I 
want to sulphur sufficient for home use. 
My method is to place cut apples in a 
basket, suspend in a barrel, place some 
live coals in an iron pot, have ready an 
oil cloth to cover top of barrel, then 
sprinkle sulphur on live coals, cover bar¬ 
rel quickly, and leave for half a day. 
Then pack apples in a large stone jar. 
This method is followed until jar is 
packed full, then tied up securely, and 
kept in a cool dark place. When wanted 
for table use, wash through several 'wa¬ 
ters and prepare them as green apples. 
We appreciate them in pies or baked 
with sugar and butter and a bit of spice. 
Rhubarb, plums and grapes keep all 
right if scalded, then drained dry, cov¬ 
ered with a boiling syrup and sealed up. 
Thelma is attending the singing school, 
and rehearsing her “Do, sol. mi, do’s.” If 
she masters them it’s more than I have 
ever done, though I never had a chance 
to learn them, and so far have failed to 
locate a book that has the shaped notes 
laid down in the instructions. 
We are practicing on our play : “Cran¬ 
berry Corners,” and to prepare for 
children’s day is a pastime to this. Yet 
our actors (?) seem to be doing well, and 
if the play is ever thoroughly mastered, 
we mean to try to earn sufficient money 
with our home-talent to supply those 
long-needed school seats. 
Our annual camp meeting begins Au¬ 
gust 22, and while it is nothing like it 
used to be, almost everyone goes Sunday 
and Monday. When I was a child there 
were three rows of log camps, and every 
camp full to overflowing. Their lights 
were mostly candles, and the shed was 
packed full of people who sang, shouted 
and prayed. Now it’s electric lights, a 
wire fence around camp ground, 10 cents 
admittance if you please, a choir to sing, 
a few framed camps, painted, and thgv 
are not all occupied. Cars just as far 
as you can see; flappers, old and young, 
walking, laughing, talking. A few under 
the improved shed, listening to the im¬ 
proved singing, the improved preaching, 
the improved praying, that will in a few 
more years be so well improved that 
God will be los^sight of entirely, unless 
He sends them a reminder, which some¬ 
times He does. 
“Pride goeth before fall, and a haugh¬ 
ty spirit before destruction.” 
As a people, we have good cause to 
ponder that text. mks. d. b. p.

Wash sweet apples, put one layer in a 
pan (leaving them whole with skins on, 
as for baking), pour in water until half 
way up the apples. Slice one lemon over 
the apples, then one cup of sugar on top 
of lemon and apples. Cover with an¬ 
other pan; cook on top of stove until 
apples are tender. Serve one apple and 
the juice also which forms in the pan. 
This is a change from baked apples and 
is very nice. I also make a sauce and 
can it of sweet apples with lemon or 
whole cloves, just the same as I do pear 
sauce. Put four or five whole cloves in 
the hot glass jar, then pour in the hot 
sauce and seal tight, or use lemon, three 
or four slices of lemon in the jar. then 
the hot sauce. We like sweet apples 
pickled in the Fall. n. m. s. 
Score Cards 
Y OU know the score cards used 
by the agricultural college people 
for judging poultry, livestock, or home 
products. 
Were you—or a group of Dentists—to 
make a score card to help select the 
best tooth paste for the whole family, 
you probably would make one like 
the “Dentifrice Score Card” shown 
here. And when you compare the 
various tooth pastes you, like most 
Dentists, would give the high score to 
Colgate’s. 
COLGATE'S 
“Washes” and Polishes— 
Doesn’t Scratch or Scour 
Here are some of the reasons why 
Colgate’s stands first in the choice of 
farm people and Dentists. 
Non-Gritty—Colgate’s is made of fine, special 
chalk—no grit. The U. S. Health Service says 
a dentifrice should not be gritty. 
No Drugs—Colgate’s has no drugs or chemi¬ 
cals which harm mouth or gum tissues. 
Safe—Colgate’s is safe—no harsh grit. 
Cleans—Colgate’s loosens clinging particles 
and washes them away. 
Flavor—Colgate’s has a delicious flavor which 
makes tooth brushing a pleasure. Use Col¬ 
gate’s after every meal. 
Price—Colgate’s costs only 25c for a LARGE 
tube.

A big roaring fire piled high in the pot is never neces¬

culating air will be sufficiently heated to keep the house 
warm and comfortable.
