A clerk's error in selling n sulphur arsenic insecticide Instead of sulphur resulted In the death of a number of hogs and caused the dangerous Illness of two persons on a farm In New York, an Investigation by an official of the food and drug administration. United States Department of Agriculture, has revealed. The supposed sulphur was used in preparing a sulphur and molasses mix ture as a home remedy for a cold. This resulted In the critical Illness of one person. Then the drug was burned and the fumes were inhaled by anoth er, also as an attempted treatment for a cold. This person became uncon scious and for some days was severe ly 111. Used to Cure Hogs. Investigation by a federal food offi cial revealed that this same sulphur had been used last fall in an attempt to cure hogs thought to be suffering from cholera. The preparation was mixed with the feed of CO hogs, and a majority died. It was thought at the time that the deaths were due to cholera. The sulphur used in the three cases was analyzed by the food and drug ad ministration and was found to contain arsenic. Fearing that others would buy this same product and use it as sulphur, the food officials traced it to Its source. Investigation showed that the mix ture supposed to be sulphur had been ! bought at an implement store. This store had a bag of sulphur and also a bag of sulphur-arsenic insecticide. Both were in a dark attic. A clerk had sold the poisonous mixture think ing it was sulphur. Three Errors Made. Officials of the food and drug ad ministration point out three errors in the situntion. A poison should never he kept where It may be mistaken for a nonpolsonous product. Sulphur is not recognized by the modern veteri nary science as a cure for hog cholera. Modern medical science does not con sider sulphur effective in the treat ment in colds either as a mixture of sulphur and molasses or as sulphur fumes. Hessian Fly Has Cost Country $100,000,000 Of all the insects working at cross purposes with man, few have such rec ords for destnictiveness as the Hes sian fly whose activities have cost the country as much as $100,000,000 In a single year, the United States Depart meit of Agriculture's records show. In 1927, according to estimates, Kan sas alone lost 20,000,000 bushels of wheat to the Hessian fly. Serious out breaks of Hessian fly activity occurred in 1914 and again in 1919 and 1920. At least eight serious outbreaks have occurred over the northeastern one third of the country within the last 4." years. Jx>cal activity Is evident almost every year somewhere In that large territory or In limited areus on the Pacific coast. To assist the farmer In combating this pest, the United States Depart ment of Agriculture has recently pub lished Farmers' Bulletin 1627-F, "The Hessian Fly and How Losses from It Can Be Avoided." It is free to anyone requesting It. Irregular Soy Stands Not Considered Good The best yields of soy beans can not be obtained from stands that are very irregular as Is common In mo** fields. Beans put In with a grain drill at the University of Illinois, and whMi produced what was considered a good stand, were found to vary all the way from one bean plant In a foot of drill | row to fifteen plants. Such irregular ? By is largely due to variation In flow I of seed through the drill as modified j by the Jarring or lack of Jarring of drill. Irregular physical condition of ! the soil caused by clods and ridgci i and holes make for irregular distrihit I tlon of the seed and consequent ir I regular stands and lower yield.

Example of Colonial Type of Home That Has Many Pleasing Features I We are sure you will agree that this fine example of the colonial design Is worth a second look, and don't overlook the floor plan with Its center hall and large sun room off the living room. The entrance Is one of the best colonial designs. By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the read ers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority oil all these sub jects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 407 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, 111., and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply. There are many variations of the colonial type home, but the one shown In the accompanying; illustration is about as near the true colonial as it is possible to get. The only variation from the colonial in this home is the addition of the sun porch at the right. Without this porch this home is ex actly the type that will be found in so many New Kngland villages. This is a two-gable, rectangular house, 28 feet by 24 feet. On the first floor are the living room, dining room rXjLi j J55^|g| I > Ei uvuK'niTfawp r*y, l7vx*v : I r raw&wi F E ^ First Floor Plan. and kitchen, and on the second floor three bedrooms and bath. The en trance door is directly in the ceuter of the house with the living room at the right of the hall and the dining room at the left. The true colonial balance Is re tained In tills house, there being two windows on either side of the entrance with three windows on the second floor in perfect alignment. The living room at the right of the hall extends the depth of the house BEDTM ll'3"AfciV* 1; | Second Floor Plan. and Is 23 feet by 11 feet 3 inches. Connected with this through freneh doors on both 'sides of an open fire place is the sun parlor, which is 7 feet 6 inches by 1G feet deep. To the left of the entrance hall is the dining room the same width as the living room and 12 feet 0 inches deep. At the back is the kitchen, 9 feet 3 inches by 10 feet with a breakfast room ad joining. Colonial stairs run out of the en trance hall to the second floor. There are three bedrooms, two at the front and one at the back and a bathroom all opening off the hall. The house is built of frame set on a concrete foundation with a basement of the same dimensions as the house 1 proper. An attractive feature of the home Is the entry way, which is en ! closed. The platform and steps of brick lend to it. For prospective home builders who want to get the greatest amount of space for their money, this design is good. Many Good Reasons for Remodeling Old Home Home modernizing appeals to own ers ot old homes from a number of different angles. Following arc some of tha reasons for modernizing which dealers have put before home owners. The sale or rent vulue of an old home may be grently increased by Im proving its appearance and equipping it with modern conveniences. The in creased value Is considerably greater than the cost of making the Improve ments. People not able or willing to pay for the construction of a new house may have their old home modern in appear ance and convenience for but a part of the cost of a new building. Most old homes hold a hidden treas ure?sound" lumber and sturdy con struction. The sound lumber in an old house Is well seasoned. Architects and contractors often pay a premium for the lumber taken from old build ings for use in building apartments and other structures. Most old houses are of real good construction?a value that the owner would be wise In tak ing advantage of. Many old homes have an unsatisfac tory arrangement of rooms, doors and windows. These features can be made to the owner's liking by modernizing. It Is not necessary to do all ot the modernizing work on a house at one time, although this usually Is desir able. The owner can determine on { the work he wants done and have It completed step by step as he Is able 1 to pay for It. A nondescript type of house can In changed Into a good architectural type, such as an Knglish cottage, one of 't the colonial types or an adaptation of one of these styles. A house may be modernized easily, , without Impairing the strength of any part. I Some owners of old homes want to I keep them because of sentimental at tachment By modernizing they can retain that to which sentiment Is at | tached and at the same time have i modern conveniences and attractlve | ness. I Owners of some old homes would i like to have them modernized because of their contrast to the modern houses which have been built around tbem. , An old home can be made absolutely t new in appearance, with no Indlca , tlons that It has been made over. I Unused attic and basement space l can be converted Into additional bed , rooms, dens, sewing rooms, playrooms, studios, billiard rooms or some other kind of special room. Use Paint for Profit in Selling Your Home Though ahout the least expensive Item In home modernization, observes a writer In the Household Magazine, paint Is one of the greatest factors In paying greater returns in satisfac tion to the home owner or occupant or In earning actual profits In resale or rental value. "I'alnt Is refreshing, symbolic of cleanliness, and, to most of us, the embodiment of sanitation. Engines Idle as we drive through streets of painted houses, hut as we enter the unpniuted districts, a heavy foot de scends upon the gnsoline feed. Did you ever try to rent or sell a house that needs pnintlng? Then you know, or strongly suspect, that paint Is Just as good business for the house owner as It is for the merchant or tilling station operator," advises the writer. "An ordinary roof shingle, sixteen Inches long and one-fourth inch thick, will last about 25 years, but with creosote stain, a foundation of alumi num, It should last Indefinitely." One man purchased a cottage for $2,.r>00, spent ?100 In painting, and sold It soon thereafter for ?3,200. In these days when houses are not so scarce as they were back In war times," con tinues the Household Magazine, "ten ants not only will not rent lionscs In had condition but will not stay In houses If tile owner neglects them. Agents may Justifiably claim that tenants may move from neglected homes or apartments. l*npainted ex teriors and woodwork are depressing. Depression stifles progress, breeds in feriority. Brightening of a home by paint stimulates similar Improvement In appearance of the entire neigh borhood, and thus Increases value of entire real estate blocks. Ideal Basement Height Placed at Eight Feet Celling height did not matter In the old-time cellar, for no one stayed down there long enough to rare whether the celling were too low or not. Now, with families planning and arranging to s|iend considerable time In their basements, a celling height of eight feet Is none too high. One then has plenty of room for piping and more ellww and brenthlng room. Steel beams are another "thought" for the new basement Wooden or steel posts take up room for floor support and If an owner wants all the possible room he cnn get from his basement he ahonld consider nslng steel beams More expensive, yes, but they (Its you more room. 1? mom CABWIP^ ((c). 1930.

The strawberries have been put away In as many delicious ways as time and the price of berries would warrant. Plneap pie conserve, with rhubarb, preserved (or garnishing, and canned for serving as desserts are all In neat rows and now comes the later fruits to finish filling the shelves. Wa termelon rind is so well liked for a sweet pickle, Is so attractive when carefully made that a few Jars of it should be In every fruit closet# Watermelon Pickles.?Peel the rind, cut Into neat pieces, cutting oft all Ir regular places and put to soak In salt water over night. In the morn ing plunge Into cold water and let stand until firm. Now put Into boil ing water and cook until nearly ten der. Prepare a sweet pickle using five pounds of brown sugar, a pint of vinegnr, and two tablespoonfuls each of whole cloves and stick cinnamon tied in a muslin bag. I.et this mLxture boil, add the melon slices and cook until transparent, or partly so. Tut into cans boiling hot and seal well. Itlpe cucumbers may be treated In the same way, and many prefer them to the melon. reacn c-narxreuse.?1HH1 une cupim of sugar with two oupfuls of water fifteen minutes. Add one cupful pf finely cut peaches which have been well drained. Cook five minutes. Add one cupful of the peach sirup, the Juice of one orange and the juice of one lemon. Soak one tablespoonful of gelatin in two tablespoonfuls of cold water, add one-lialf cupful of the heated fruit Juice to dissolve. Cool. Add to the sugar mixture. Whip well when beginning to set and fold In two well-beaten egg whites. Mold and chill. Watermelon Served Pie Faahlon? The beautiful pink of a ripe melon with the dark seeds and the green rind, make an attractive dish to serve. Cut the melon Into thick slices, leav ing on the rind, then cut Into pie shaped pieces; serve on chilled plates and have the melon cold. Banana Pancake*.?Mix and sift three-fourths of a cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder and one half teaspoonful of salt. Beat one egg, add one cupful of banana pulp, one-half cupful of milk and two table spoonfuls of butter. Beat until smooth. Cook on a hot griddle. Serve with cur rant Jelly. SAUCES FOR ICE CREAMS One would think of ice cream In Itself as being wholesome, toothsome and satisfying, plain as It is; but the addition of a zippy sauce which is easily prepared at home makes the serving an added way of expressing the real spirit of hos pitality, when one wishes to offer some thing more thnn commonplace re freshment. A few chopped nuts sprinkled over plain Vanilla ice cream and topped with a spoonful of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry makes a most satisfying sundae. The careless preparation of a sauce to serve on or with any dish Is al ways a convincing proof of the indif ference paid to good cooking. To make a good sauce requires good taste, patience and Judgment To be good it must fit the dish where It Is served?that Is, be appropriate to It. smooth, artfully flavored and of the right consistency. The opportunity to add one's Indi viduality to a dish is well expressed In sauces served. Maple Pecan Sauce.?Melt two tablespoonfuls of butteri add three fourths of a cupful of sugar and one fourth of a cupful of water, three tablespoonfuls of corn sirup and cook to a stage before the soft ball when tested In water. Remove from the fire, add one-fourth of a cupful of cream, three-fourths of a tenspoonful of maplelne, one-half cupful of pecans chopped. This makes six servings, one cupful of sauce. Chocolate Sauce. ? Melt three squares of chocolate over hot water, add one-fourth cupful of water and atlr until smooth; now add one cup ful of sugar, one-half cupful of corn sirup and boll to the very soft ball stage, or 234 degrees. Remove from the (Ire, add one cupful of cream and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat until smooth. This makes two and one half cupfuls of sauce. Cut eight roarshmallows Into small pieces. Boll one cupful of sugar and one-half cup ful of water to a heavy sirup. Whip two egg whites, add the marshmal lows and beat welL Flavor with any desired flavoring. gj?

Tlds novel use of a bridge, said to he the first instance of Its kind, was brought about by citizens of Napo leon, Ohio. The bridge crosses the Mnumee river and the work was done In conformity with Instructions from the bureau of aeronautics, Washing ton. In laying the brick, the contractor started at tlie north end of the bridge using all dark brick, and later light brick for the marking were Inserted. The surplus dark brick were then used at the south end. Asphalt was used as filler for the dark brick, while the markers were filled with a lean grout filler. The letters are 20 feet and three Inches high, and the name Napoleon is 340 feet in length. The width- of tlie letters run four feet and three Inches, thereby insuring easy visi bility for the traveler in the air.? Boston Herald. Concertina's Centenary The concertina celebrated its cen tenary last year. It was invented and patented by Charles?afterward Sir Charles?Wheatstone in 1829. He must have been a wonderful man, for his inventions seem to have been legion. Sir Charles invented for ex ample, the stereoscope, by which the appearance of solidity is obtained through the mental combination of two pictures, and the polar clock, which made it possible to tell the time by the light from the sky al though the sun might be invisible. It was he who made the electric tele graph available for the public trans mission of messages. And In be tween his scientific studies he sand wiched the invention of our little musical friend the concertina. No Bobbed-Hair Singers The village of Bremnes near Haugesund on the west coast of Norway scored a record when the church authorities recently refused to permit women with cropped hair to sing in the church's choir. "Crop ping and undulation are an abomina tion," says the leader of the church, and though the parish belongs to the state and the bishop lias declared that the local council has no right to censure other people's personal tastes in such matters as hair dressing, tiie unique ruling lias not been re pealed so far.
