That is the only way to succeed in anything, and it is especially true in combating a pest, alarming ide to do the.r part in conserving food this Summer. If ice is not obtainable, an :ce!sss refrigerator, cooled by evaporation, can be easily constructed. This lefrigerator consists cf a wooden frame covered with Canton flannel, burlap or heavy duck. It is desirable that the frame be screened, although this is not necessary.

One thing is certain: If the farm woman does not enjoy the benefits of a central laundry, she is entitled to a modern laundry on the farm, properly equipped with a power washing machine, mangle and the other machinery that takes the drudgery out of one of the most irksome tasks on the farm.

Sunday schools are the patent of the English-speaking peoples of the world. They are found wherever British and people live, or where their e taught, but nowhere It is an amusing thing that the Sunday-school Union only dates back to 1S03, and that the very flrst Sunday-school in the world was opened at Bristol less than 150 years ago. When there were no people's schools in England many an ambitious lad learned to read and write at ihe Sunday-school, but with the coining of the Board-schools, religious instruction became their sole purpose. About the end of last century Sunday-schools reached their high-water mark as far as attendance is concerned. The average attendance at the world's Sunday-schools every Sunday afternoon ran into tens of millions.
