WEEK S POEM WHY IS IT SO? Some find work where seme find rest. And so the weary world moves on: I sometimes wonder what is best, The answer comes when life is gone. Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake. And so thedreary night-hours go; Some hearts beat where some hearts break; I often wonder why ’tis so. Some wills faint where some wills fight— Some love the tent—and some the field, I often wonder who are right— The ones who strive or those who yield. Some feet halt where some feet tread, In tireless march, a thorny wray. Some struggle on where some have fled: Some seek, while others shun the fray. Some swords rust where others clash. Some fall back while some move on. Some flags furl where others flash Until the battle has been won. Some sleep on, w’hile others keep The vigils of the true and brave; They will not rest till roses creep Around their name, above a grave. —FATHER RYAN.

SCHUYLER Enamel ware cooking utensils are to be preferred over bare metal, provided they are free from anti mony, are heavy enameled, and acid-resisting. They are easier to keep clean than bare metal, but should be discarded when defective, cracked or chipped. Many poisonous materials, such as zinc, manganese, nickel and an timony are utilized in the manu facture of enamel ware cooking utensils. Poisonous lead salts have been known to be used to give ex ceedingly glossy surfaces. They are net believed to be used any longer, but the use of antimony is general, as it is opaque and prevents dark surfaces underneath from showing. 1 Commercial grades also sometimes contain arsenic in sufficient quan tities to be poisoning. 1 Consumers should avoid the very cheap enamel ware sold in 5 and Heat Teaches Lesson in Care of Home Lawns Whoever in the family has as sumed responsibility for care of the lawn this season undoubtedly lias learned some lessons from experi ence in recent weeks Perhaps one more lesson is yet to be mastered before the family’s of ficial lawn keeper can consider him self in the senior class. This is that there are two good seasons in the year when grass grows most, and two periods of the year when it is practically dormant. The second growing season of this year will be encountered in another four or five weeks. The best stand of lawn sod is ob tained whe the grass has been amply fed during the spring, and watered artificially only when the ground became obviously dry or started to crack. Those who apply the sprinkler lightly and frequent ly learn that a shallow root system develops which will not carry the grass through the dry July and August semi-dormant period. mxewise. me mwn mower wmcn clipped the luxuriant grass during the growing season, unless it was adjusted of late, has clipped the grass so close this month that the roots are exposed needlessly to bak ing sunlight. If the stand of grass is rather light, one might better omit mowing altogether in hot weather. At least, to keep the lawn even, the mower should be set to clip as high as possible. The best period for sowing a lawn is n the fall, when rain starts abundant growth again and weeds are more easily controlled In lawns heavily in ested with weeds, or where grass has died bac in spots, these areas may be spaded up, raked into a fine soil and re seeded. An applicatir of plant food during \v.gust is advisable. Consumers should avoid the very cheap enamel ware sold in 5 and 10 cent stores and other low-price outlets. They invariably have low acid-resistance. Also avoid enamel ware with visible dark spots or un dercoating. The undercoat is less resistant to acid than the cover coat, and if exposed permits metalic substances to enter the food. Do not store or cook acid food in enamel containe.Vinegar, to matoes, fruit juices, especially lem ons, oranges, grapefruit, rhubarb, sour apples and gelatin have acid reaction.
