United States Department of Agriculture Makes Successful Experiments That Should Be of Interest to Health Officers. Washington. — A trap to destroy the maggots of the typhoid or housefly before they develop into winged insects is a possible solution of the fly problem and one that should interest health officers, sanitarians and others who might make use of it on manure heaps where this common pest breeds. The department of agriculture's scientists in their preliminary experiments with such a trap have succeeded in destroying from 70 to 59 per cent of the maggots in a pile of manure. This method of attack differs from those which have been generally used, by fly pollen in a pile of manure, the appetite of the adult fly, or fly-light receptacles have been used to keep the adult female from laying her eggs in manure. The newer method is based on the knowledge of certain habits of the undeveloped fly maggot. The maggots of the typhoid fly, it has been discovered, have a habit of migrating from their breeding places into drier portions of the manure heap. This seems a distinct move on their part to permit the adult fly to issue from the refuse in the easiest and quickest manner. The efficiency of the new trap is based on the regularity of this deep-seated habit. A large galvanized iron pan, measuring five by three feet, with sides four inches high, was made. In this stood a container on legs eight inches high. This container measured four by two by two feet. The sides and bottom were of heavy wire, one-fourth-inch mesh, supported by a light wooden framework. Twelve cubic feet of manure well infested with eggs and larvae were placed in this container and sprinkled with water. Water was also poured into the pan below to the depth of about one inch. Surrounding and covering both pan and container was a飞ight-linch incroachment made of a large cage, six by six by six feet. This prevented further infestation of the manure, and an arrangement of traps at the top of the cage made it possible to capture and keep a record of any flies that might emerge. At the time the emergent sides of the traps were darkened with black cloth in order to drive the flies into the traps at the top. Each day the maggots were collected from the pan and counted, and each day the manure in the container was sprinkled thoroughly with water and the pan was washed out and again partly filled with water to drown the larvae which fell into it. The experiments of the department's entomologists showed that from 98 to 99 per cent, of all the maggots in the manure pile were destroyed, if the manure was kept moist. From comparatively dry manure about seventy per cent were destroyed. These experiments, as yet, have been tried only on a comparatively small scale. The question immediately arises whether the trap which appears so successful on a small scale can be adapted to the handling of manure in a practical way on a large scale. Every consideration points to the probability that it can and that it will afford "an additional benefit" of great value. The spell verdict as to the value of the maggot trap must wait upon the solution of certain practical problems. To point out some of these here is to suggest lines for further investigation. (1) In the first place, there must be determined what form, size and construction of trap will give the best results. The answer to this will depend largely on the particular conditions obtaining at any given stable, such as the amount of manure produced daily, the arrangements for drainage, etc. It will also depend on the answer to the following problems: (2) How deeply may manure be heaped in a trap without interfering with the migration? It will probably be found that the depth will make little difference, provided that the manure is kept moist, and provided that avenues of escape are afforded at the sides as well as at the bottom. (3) How long must manure be kept in a maggot trap before it is entirely free from larvae? This is a very important question from a practical standpoint, and one will find scant suggestion as to the answer in the literature on the life history and habits. The housefly breeds preferably in horse manure, but it has never been determined just how long a given lot of manure continues to be an attractive place for egg laying, nor for how long a period fly larvae will continue to appear in it. It is obvious that the maggot trap would not be practical if the infestation of the manure were daily renewed for a long time. Under ordinary conditions the drying of the surface of a heap of manure probably takes a long time, and the first day or two of exposure. But in a maggot trap the manure must be kept wet in order to insure the greatest amount of migration. Would not such a moist surface be daily reinfested and maggots continue to appear in the manure as long as any fermentation were in progress? As a matter of fact, the period of infestation appears to be rather short, and even under the most favorable conditions maggots will rarely be found in a given lot of manure after ten or 12 days' exposure. That Should Have Fetched Him. Miss Wantem was growing tired, for Mr. Nuit had been calling three months and the final words which had been lingering on his lips for so long had been on his mind. He owed no one, however, being in an extra bright mood, he was inclined to make some brilliant observations. "tsa," snapped Miss Wantem, stung ```markdown ``` In support of this claim some experimental data may be given here. (4) The disposal of the maggots is another practical consideration. If the larvae were allowed to drop to the ground they would burrow into it to pupate there and nothing would be gained. It would be necessary to have some sort of vessel, e. g. a concrete basin, beneath the trap. This should have vertical sides and contain an inch or more of a weak disinfectant or of water covered with a film of kerosene oil. If such a basin were connected with a tube collecting in it could be flushed out each week without the necessity of handling them in any way and without any offensive decomposition. That the maggot trap possesses certain advantages is obvious and ought to lead to many attempts to develop it along practical lines. Cheapness would be one of its strong points. Practically the only cost would be the initial one for the construction of the trap and of a basin or receptacle for catching and disposing of the maggots. Very little additional time or labor would be required in operating it. The sprinkling of the manure would be a very small part of the daily routine of removing the manure from the stables. Proper arrangements for the disposal of the maggots would require only a few minutes' attention at long intervals. WARNS AGAINST FIRE. Post cards cautioning forest users in the Appalachian region against setting fires in the woods have recently been sent by the federal forest service to residents in the vicinity of the forest areas which have been purchased by the government. These post cards state that burning of the woods does not improve the grazing, and does not exterminate poisonous insects or animals. On the other hand, the cards say such burning injures the grazing value of the land by killing off the better grasses, by decreasing the fertility of the soil and by increasing the possible damage to the ground, and its covering of vegetation, from frost, sun, wind and rain. Furthermore, they state that burning injures the timber, impairs its merchant value, and its selling value, that it increases insect damage by weakening the vitality of the trees and affording an entrance for insects through fire scars; and, in addition, that it kills out the young trees which are just starting to grow. For the reasons enumerated, it is announced that no grazing will be allowed on the government lands which have been recently burnt, the rule being enforced in order to give the range a chance to recuperate from the effects of the burning. The effect of this prohibition will be to close certain areas against grazing; therefore, fires set through a mitigation non-fire zone will be allowed; grazing will curtail the forage resources. The cards further ask co-operation of all forest users in the prevention and control of forest fires. AMERICAN CAVIAR. The use of the roe of salmon and other American roe for the making of American caviar is growing rapidly, and as a result what at one time was a very serious waste has been turned into an excellent and valuable food. The principal difference between this caviar and the Russian caviar is, that the Russian article is made principally out of sturgeon roe, while the American article is made from salmon roe, white fish roe, and the roes of other fish that are handled on a large commercial scale as well as from sturgeon roe. This caviar is made in the same manner as the Russian caviar. The roe of the fish is pressed through screens which allow the eggs to pass, but hold back the membrane and the egg sacks. These eggs are then packed in a large quantity of salt which draws out the substances from them. They are then canned or boxed and put on the market. American caviar, the specialists of the department of agriculture advise, should be sold for just what it is and labeled to show the name of the fish from which the roe is taken, for example, American caviar from the Pacific salmon should be labeled "Salmon Caviar"; and that made from white fish should be called "White Fish Caviar." I believed that the American caviar industry can develop a big sale of the product on its own merits, and should offer it as an article that its American makers are proud to acknowledge, rather than as an imitation of an imported article. POTATOES FROM HOLLAND. Potatoes may now be imported from the Kingdom of Holland to the United States if shipped in accordance with the restrictions and regulations that apply to the admission of other foreign potatoes. Notice to this effect has just been issued by the United States department of agriculture, as it has been ascertained that Holland is now free from the injurious potato diseases and insect pests, which caused the quanx in December 22, 1913, to be extended against it, and has compiled with all the conditions and requirements of the regulations governing the importation of potatoes into this country.

REMARKABLE CAREER OF CASTINE C. SWANSON QUEEN ELEONORA OF BULGARIA TO VISIT U. S. MRS JULIUS KAHN A BROAD-MINDED WOMAN WOMAN WHO CLEANED PANAMA CANAL ZONE --- From the steerage of an ocean steamer to the head of the largest women's hotel in the world seems a steep climb for the baby daughter of a Swedish immigrant. Yet that is exactly what Miss Caseline C. Svensson who was brought to this country by her parents before she was five years old, has accomplished in a little over twenty years. PETER Soon after she passed her twenty-fifth birthday she became the assistant superintendent of the Franklin Square house in Boston, the home of more than six hundred working women and girl students. A year later when the superintendent resigned and it was suggested that the trustees elect Miss Swanson to the vacancy the whole board shook their heads. It wouldn't be right, they declared. She was not only inexperienced, but she was too young, scarcely more than a girl. They took a year to look around a woman to put in charge of the hotel. During that year many applicants were examined and considered, while Miss Swanson, as acting superintendent, was doing the work. At the end of the year she was unanimously elected by the board of trustees to the superintendency. It had been a year It has been definitely decided that Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria, accom- Bulgaria, accompanies by an ex-pat in the United States to visit the United States either at the beginning or middle of May. The tour probably will begin about mid-April and last six or eight weeks. MARY The visit is the result of the deep interest which King Ferdinand and Queen Eleonora long have had in the United States, who has been strengthened by the close association of the king and queen with the American doctors who were in charge of the Bulgarian hospitals during the war. It was at first reported that King Ferdinand himself proposed to visit the United States in 1915, but the queen's intense desire to make the trip, coupled with the fact that her visit would relieve the United States from the diplomatic embarrassments of a state visit from an actual reigning monarch, resulted in her wish being granted. Wouldn't you, if your husband were one of but 300-odd men chosen from all over the country, think that s one "position" went with it? Mrs. Julius Kahn, wife of the representative from California, doesn't. The fact that her husband is at active, she says, means nothing at all. More than that, she claims that at least eighty percent of the people in any state or voting district do not know who their congressman try, think that some "position" went with it? Mrs. Julius Kahn, wife of the Representative from California, doesn't. The fact that her husband is a seer, she says, means nothing at all. More than that, she claims that at least eighty per cent of the people in any state or voting district do not know who their congressman is. Furthermore, she does not regard that as a sweeping assertion. "It is a fact," she says. "Bevoid one's own circle of friends, social and political, 80 per cent of the people cannot tell who their congressman is. I would be willing to make that claim of any state in the Union. Prestige? It is predicted in Washington that "the woman who cleaned up the canal zone" will receive certain honors from Uncle Sam. Of course, Colonel Gorgas, one of the world's eminent sanitarians, was the man who predisposed over the important work of cleaning up Panama, and for distinguiscing services becomes surgeon general of the United States army, but it is conceded that a woman did a most important work in certain special honors from Uncle Sam. Of course, Colonel Gorgas, one of the world's eminent sanitarians, was the man who presided over the important work of cleaning up Panama, and for his distinguished service becomes surgeon general of the United States army, but it is conceded that a woman did a most important work in the vital if unobtrusive essentials that intimately touch the lives and welfare of men, women and children. Miss. Gertrude Beeks is the woman. lake on Landseer or Policeman. Joke on Landseer or Potentioe A friend of Sir Edward Landseer who accompanies him to Landseer the first occasion of its exhibition by gailight relates that Landseer stopped short before his large picture, "A Visit to Waterloo." "I must have been mad," said he, "when I painted that." And, walking up to the picture he placed over a painting, the critic critiqued him. An attendant policeman shouted his polite caution: "Now, then, take your 'ands on there!" IOWA STATE BYSTANDER of prosperity such as the hotel, though a success from the very first, had never before known. That was two years ago. Now the demand for rooms has become so great and persistent that the trustees have purchased some adjoining property and are prepared for the building an annex that will double the capacity of the hotel. The baby girl of the Swedish immigrant will be at the head of a hotel housing more than one thousand women. "No. I haven't found the position a trying one," Miss Swanson declares. "There are a great many problems, of course, but I have found that the job is the best, as well as the simplest, way of solving it satisfactorily. "After all most misunderstandings are caused by persons not looking at both sides of the question. As a rule all I have to do is to make the girl see the other side. Most women are reasonable and don't intentionally give trouble. After a short residence home they as a rule come to homes and as a consequence they have an eye to its interest." Perhaps it was this faith in the loyalty of her sex that caused Miss Swanson to advocate and finally to establish a resident council at the Franklin Square house. This body is made up of twenty-odd residents of the house, nominated and elected by ballot. Only the guests of the house are allowed to vote. The majority of the complaints or make suggestions, either directly to the board of trustees or through Miss Swanson. It is probable that Queen Eleonora will proceed from Sofia to Hamburg as a German princess. There she will embark, if her arrangements permit, on the steamship Imperator on one of its trips in the month of May. It is certain that the suite of Queen Eleonora will include in addition to some diplomatists, aides-de-camp from the smartest guard regiments and ladies-in-waiting, who will wear their beautiful, picturesque native costume. The purpose which Queen Eleonora and King Ferdinand hope to achieve by this visit is twofold. In the first place they are hopeful that the queen will be able to counteract any antagonism to Bulgaria which may have resulted from the late Bulgan wars. The king and queen are both impressed with the independence of the United States as a guide to the sympathies and opinions of the world and hope the visit will have the effect of informing Americans as to the desires of this country and inducing sympathy with the aspirations of Bulgaria to creditably maintain a place among the nations of Europe. An even more utilitarian purpose is the study which the queen proposes to make of the manner in which the United States is working out the social and economic problems and draw lessons applicable to Bulgaria, which is now confronted with an economic problem of great magnitude. Absolutely none. Unless the people, generally speaking, want some favor they do not trouble to find out who represents them. "I recall one instance in point which happened to Mr. Kahn. He received a letter from a man, supposedly well versed in affairs, general knowledge. It replied that it was impossible to grant his request, and, further, that he (Mr. Kahn) was not the representative of his district. In answer to this the man called in person at my husband's office and exclaimed in some heat that he knew Mr. Kahn was his congressman; that he had voted for him several times. Mr. Kahn asked him if his home had been the same for several years as that given in the letter, to which the man replied it was. When you couldn't vote for me, as my district is elsewhere," said Mr. Kahn. "And do you know that man absolutely refused to believe him, and went away insisting that he knew better. And many, many people have told me they voted for my husband when it has been impossible under the law." She is secretary of the welfare department of the National Civic Federation. This department is composed of 300 employers throughout the United States. In 1907, when many discontented laborers were leaving the canal, Miss Beeks made a careful survey to determine what could be done to better the canal living conditions of the twenty-five thousand employees reported in volume 28,000 words. In detail, what she revealed and the recommendations she made "justified the statement made here, just before her departure, that she had "one of the most important commissions ever awarded to a woman by the government."

TO RID FOODS OF POISONS Deletorious Substances May Be Removed if One Will Take a Little Palms With the Work. To cook cranberries as they are brought from the market is to meet a keen disappointment in a delicate berry which many persons do not enjoy because its wild flavor is unpleasant to the taste. Clean the berries, place them in a pan with sufficient water to cover them, and add a half teaspoon of soda. Boll the berries in the soda water until you hear them in the water. Drain the water, then it will be clean and the lemon black, rinse them in cold water, then cook with the sugar. It removes the tang and less sugar is needed to sweeten them if cooked in this way. The same method has been used successfully in cooking soup beans, from which the greenish water removes a poisonous substance, makes the bean clear and white when cooked and they cook in less time, too. Others have used soda water for cooking rice for a few minutes, which is a coating of talcum, and a glue-like substance in which pure rice is immersed before it is ready for market. COFFEE SERVED IN ORANGES Idea Is From New Orleans, Where They Claim to Make the Best Beverage in America. A young hostess recently pleased her dinner guests with a new way of serving after-dinner coffee, which she said was learned at a famous New Orleans cafe. The entire rind of an orange is used as a cup. It is cut with a sharp knife, and the lower half is turned back to form a standard for the upper half, which is the cup. The orange remains between the two and unites them. The cups are filled with boiling hot black coffee and sweetened by a bump of sugar dipped in cognac. It is then to each cup a serving lifts the caps and the flame so produced is aided by the oil of the orange rind, so that a charming effect is produced by a tray of these brightly burning cups. Each orange is placed on a small plate or saucer. Mock Turtle Soup. Boll a calf's head until the meat leaves the bones. Leave it in the seasoned soup until the next day, then take it out, scrape off the fat and remove the bones. Put in the jellied stock over the fire with the bones; the ears, chopped; one grated carrot, one sliced onion, a bunch of soup herbs, a teaspoonful of aliphe, a saltsponge for one hour, a bunch of soup for one hour. Take from the fire; the strain, thicken with two tablespoonfuls of butter rolled in as much browned flour; add two tablespoonfuls of kitchen bouquet, and, when the soup is thickened, drop in the tongue and parts of the cheek cut into dice. Add a gill of cherry and the juice of a lemon, and pour upon forcemeat balls in a hot turkey. Make the forcemeat balls with a hard-boiled egg, a little browned flour and the yolk of a raw egg. Roll them in browned flour and let them stand in a quick oven until lightly crusted over. Cabbage or Salad Dressing Melt in a double boiler one generous tablespoonful of butter. Add to it one tablespoonful of flour, one teaspoonful of sugar, one half teaspoonful of made mustard, three dashes of paprika, one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, white pepper to taste. When these are well blended add slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, one half pint of boiling water and three drops of Worcestershire sauce. Continue stirring until thick. Cool for a little more. Too thick put in a little more water. Should the dressing be for cold slaw pour it while hot over finely shredded cabbage, if for salads use when cold. Dark Bread Fudding. Take dry bread enough to fill a two-quart pan two-thirds full of bread after it is soaked, one-half cup molasses, one cup of sugar (brown if you have it, white will do), one cup of chopped suet or fat pork, two eggs, a pint of milk, two cups of chopped raisins. You can put in all kinds of spice. I only put in nutmeg and clove, salt teaspoon. I bake mine all night. Wants to be baked slowly. It is fine—Boston Globe. India Currled Eggs Cut hard-boiled eggs in halves; then try one small chopped onion and one chopped apple in hot butter; add one fourth cup of pounded almonds and one pint of milk, mixed with one-half tablespoonful of cornstarch. Season with salt and a dessert spoonful of curry powder. Let cook ten minutes; then add the eggs. Let all get very hot. Serve with croutons; garnish with fried parsley—The Mother's Magazine. Wellesley Salad. Cut early apples into dice, chop celeria rather fine, cut white grapes into halves, take out seeds, break English walnuts or pecans in small pieces, marinate with French dressing and put on ice till chilled. Serve on hearts of lettuce leaves. Whip heavy cream and add lemon juice to taste; put a large epounel on salad. Brussels Sprouts With Cheese. Cook the sprouts till perfectly tender in water with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice in it. When tender drain and toss about over the fire in a frying pan with a little butter to get quite hot, and in no case attempting to brown them. Take out into a dish, sprinkle freely with grated parmesan cheese and send to table. Apple Tarts. Line the small pans with a nice puff paste and fill with apples which have been steamed or parboiled, sweetened and flavored with ground nutmeg. Arrange across the top strips of sweetened pastry, which has been spread with butter. Bake in a moderate oven. MYSTERIES OF SEA HOLES IN THE HEAD Their Uncanny Disappearance Furnishes Baffling Puzzles Which Cannot Be Determined by Man—Only Vague Theories. If the ocean has its mysteries, so has the ship that rides it, and which furnishes the more baffling puzzles would be difficult to determine. Ships leave ports and are never seen nor heard of again, and—in some respects more inexplicable still—passengers board vessels and suddenly forever vanish from human ken. The strange disappearance of Doctor Diesel, the famous inventor, is a case in point which must be fresh in everybody's mind. One day a short time ago, it will be remembered, Doctor Diesel left Antwerp on board the Great Eastern Railway company's steamers for Harwich, whence he proposed hurrying to London to keep an important business engagement. On board the doctor appeared to be in the best of health and spirits and at ten o'clock p. m. retired to his cabin for the night. Next morning he was nowhere to be found, and the mystery of his disappearance remains still unsolved. Again, not many months ago the steamship Baldor, on arrival in the Firth of Forth from Gothenburg, had a queer story to unfold through the mouth of her skipper. It concerned the uncanny disappearance of a second-class lady passenger. The last seen of her was late at night, when one of the stewardesses noticed the boat. The vessel was then in the North sea. Afterward the passenger's berth was found to be unoccupied, and, not only the lady, but her baggage, consisting of a bag, had vanished. Where and how no one knows. Could anything be more baffling than the following? It occurred on board a steamer between Leith and Orkney. Among the passengers were two sisters, who were traveling to attend the funeral of a third sister. When off Bell lighthouse one of the women retired to her burk, the other, as a passenger, referred to remaining a little longer on deck. That was the last seen of her. Another amazing incident was that reported by the captain of a Dutch steamer, the Van Noort, on his arrival at Singapore. The parties immediately concerned were three sisters of German nationality who were passengers aboard, and had been touring in Java. Having had spent the evening on deck chatting and reading, they were one night going to their cabin about ten o'clock. Next morning the attendant could get no answer to his knocks at the cabin door, and, on an entry being made, the room was found empty. On the table was a note addressed to the captain, which briefly stated that he was to have their luggage, and on a desk was a bottle containing a few droops of chloroform. From this it was conjectured that the three sisters had each taken chloroform, and then climbed through the porthole into the sea. As a final example may be mentioned the case of a vivacious young woman who disappeared from a steamer while crossing from Belfast to Fleetwood. At 11 o'clock p. m. the young woman was seen by the stewardess, whom she asked to bring her a cup of tea at seven o'clock next morning, as she wished to catch an early train to Manchester. At the hour named the stewardess took in the tea as desired, but was amazed to find the cabin empty. She surmised the girl had fallen overboard while walking in her sleep, or climbed through the porthole into the see—two theories which had not much of the element of probability to recommend them. Granite World's Bed Rock. Granite is the lowest rock in the world's crust. It is the bed rock of the world. It shows no evidence of animal or vegetable life. It is from two to ten times as thick as the united thickness of all the other rocks. It is the parent rock from which all the other rocks have been either directly or indirectly derived. It is true that it does not contain lime while limestones do contain that substance, but it furnishes the foundation of the earth's growth, and growth brings lime into existence. It is claimed by scientists that all the lime in the world has, at some time, no doubt, be a portion of many different animals, and possibly of human beings also. New Idea in Street Lighting. The gas lights of Paris may soon be lighted by means of an electromagnetic valve operated by a push button. A very slight pressure will hold the valve against the pressure in the mains, so that the button sending a current through the magnet opens the valve. The gas is then admitted to a small chamber in which a little platinum spiral is maintained at red heat by an electrical current. The catalytic action of the gas raises the spiral to white heat, the gas is ignited and the flame jet lights the gas in the mantle. New Complaint "What's the trouble now?" demanded the janitor.

Nose Serves as Radiator—Position of the Eustachian Tube—Open Spaces Receive Warmed and Moistened Air to Insure Health. Our heads are full of holes that must be ventilated if we are to remain in good health. Most people think the air they inhale goes only to their lungs, and that its one use is to purify their blood. The air has another and just as important function—the aeration of the hidden cupboards and closets of the head. The nose is a sort of radiator, formed into tubes, in which the air inhaled is warmed and moistened. When you exhale vigorously the air is forced up into the recess back of the nose. This is called the nasal pharynx. From this many tubes open upward and backward, each leading to one or more of the closets in the head. The best known of these is the Eustachian tube, which runs from the back of the pharynx to the middle ear. The middle ear is behind the drum. In it are situated the little bones that connect the drum with the nervous apparatus of the inner ear. In the rear walls of the middle ear is a large irregular opening leading to the mastoid antrum, a large cavity in the upper part of the mastoid bone, behind the ear. This communicates again with a net work of irregular cavities that make a sponge-like structure of the interior of the mastoid process. Air passes through the Eustachian tube into the middle ear and on into the hollowness of the mastoid bone. Infection also takes the same route, and this is how a nasal catarrh may cause a serious attack of mastoiditis that can be cured only by a terrible and often fatal operation that begins with chopping open the mastoid bone with a chisel and mallet. Over the eyebrows, toward the middle and in the lower part of the frontal bone are the frontal sinuses, irregular cavities which are connected with the middle of the nose by a tube called the infundibulum. Behind these again are the cells of the ethmoid bone, called the anterior and posterior ethmoidal sinuses. These open also into the nose by two different tubes. The anterior sinuses open also into another cavity called the antrum of Highmore. The antrum is situated in the cheek, immediately over the bicuspid and molar teeth. Its size varies in different individuals and it is not always the same size on each side of the face. It opens directly into the pharynx. Its floor is the alveolar process of the upper teeth and its roof is the floor of the eye cavity. There is a head in the head than any of these except the mastoid are the sphenoid sinuses. They also open into the pharynx by two round holes and they sometimes communicate with the posterior ethmoid cells or sinuses. Many of these sinuses communicate with the posterior ethmoid cells or sinuses. Most of these sinuses communicate with labyrinths or smaller holes in the bones about them. Many of them do not exist at birth and only to develop about the seventh year, growing larger until the age of about twenty. Vigorous exhalation drives the air that has been warmed and moistened in the lungs into all of these hidden cavities in the head. They are there to contain air, and this air must not become stagnated. If the head be stopped up by catarrh some of them are sure to become involved. The result is headache, carache and sometimes insanity. Most of them blow breathing it as is important to blow air forcibly up into the upper pharynx as it is to draw it down into the lungs. Meter for Your Coat We have heard of water meters and gas meters, but who ever heard of a meter for coal? Such a device is actually on the market, and is sold in quantities. This is an instrument used by big plants using coal in quantities and loading down a chute. The meter is placed in the trough and as the slides past it is rotated by the movement and registeres on the dial the tons passed down the chute during or period. The device is thoroughly practical and is said to measure the amount of fuel passing with fair accuracy. Sardines In Gallice A company is about to be formed for the establishment of a fish curing and sardine factory on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. For the last year or two great sardines of sardines have appeared in these waters, and it is thought that a remunerative industry could be formed if only a concession could be obtained for a long term of years at a uniform rate. Representations on the subject have already been made to the authorities. Plan for Women The Turkish government has decided to admit women to the university, where special lectures in hygiene, domestic science and women's rights will be delivered for their benefit. It is regarded as a very daring innovation by those who are watching the trend of the Mussulman world towards modern civilization, by placing it on a level with the western world. Business Acumen.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ‘Lindsay Winslow, born a slave, for 42 years & messenger In the war de- partment, body servant to a succes- lon of commanding generals of the ‘army, and known to every-officer in the military service, died from a stroke of apoplexy at his home in Washington, Messenger Lindsay was ffty-nine years old, having been ap- pointed in tho government service when @ youth of seventeen years. Lindsay was born in 1865, the prop- erty of the Temple family of Fred- ericksburg, Va. Miss Temple, one of the daughters of the family, who now lives in Richmond, Va., never came to Washington without calling ‘on the old family slave, whom she held In great esteem and watched over. Tt was during the Civil war that Lindsay first made acquaintance with the army, with which ha was to be associated for the rest of his life. In 1865, when ten years old, he used to sell ples to the soldiers of the army, encamped near Fredericksburg. One of the veterans of that campaign, now an official of the war department, tells of an attack of Indigestion which he charges against a bit of pastry bought from Lindsay. A year ago Lindsay made his first ‘appearance as an actor. In the role of himself, playing the part of a mes- senger to the commanding officer of the army, in a playtet written by Captain MeCoy of the army, he ap peared when the play was presented at tho dinner of the Carabao soclety. Lindsay saw service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Detached from the war department he accom: panied General Bell, in command of the army of pacification, and was his personal attendant throughout the ‘campaign. Appointed a laborer in the war de- partment July 1, 1872, Lindsay was siven a fireman's job November 1, the same year. July 17, 1879, he was made a messenger. Transferred to the door of the adjutant general of the army, at that time the command: ing officer of the military service, No- vember 4, 1879, Lindsay was given the rank of an assistant messenger be- cause of the change of service. June 16, 1893, he became a messenger at $840 a year, When the office of adjutant general of the army lost {ts directing {oftu- ence, and thm office of chief of stat was created. Lindsay was transferred from the one office to the other, matn- tainiag bis dignity and responsibilt- thes. He was relieved for temporary duty in Cuba October 6, 1906, when he ‘accompanied General Bell. He re ‘sumed his duties as messenger Janu- ary 4, 1907.

Children are young because for them Ife abounds; they find springs of energy within anid stores of refresh: ment without.

She not only put forth clearly the wrongs which have been heyed upon the black girl because of the results of slavery, for instance, lax home training, immoral conditions, prejudice in the industrial world and others; but with telling force, she told how we, as a race, are responsible for some of our troubles and how we may overcome them.

They are located at 121 West Bradley street. Spring is here, officially, although the weather lags a little in the rear. The unfortunate part of the most beautiful season of the year is the fact that some unfounded traditions stick with some people, who imagine that they must take a tonic. There is as much reason for the spring tonic as there is for making u unfounded traditions stick with some people, who imagine that they must take a tonic. There is as much reason for the spring tonic as there is for making a wish to the new moon; if anything the wish to the moon is more sensible, because it does no harm. There are men who think more of a dollar than they do their souls or the hereafter and will actually prey upon people and make them believe that they need medicine when they don't. The laity place a great deal of confidence in men who are supposed to be trained (I use the word trained and supposed advisedly); so when one in has the sanction of the law behind him and abuses the confidence by exploiting the people he is a double demon. After the crisp winds of winter have ceased to make the blood flow fast and there is less need to step briskly there is a natural relaxation which gives way to a feeling which is as well described by the term spring fever as any other form; but so far as needing a tonic is concerned, one is a great deal better off without anything, for it is time to relax, it is time that the system, as we call it, get ready for the scorching heat of summer, when we need the pores open and a nice easy heart heat so that the heat will be dissipated. That is what stunstroke is, an ability of the body to throw off the accumulated heat. In the dry southwest where the temperature goes up to 100 in the shade no one is sun struck, because the dryness of the atmosphere absorbs the perspiration; so as Mr. Dooley says, "It is not the heat that makes you suffer; it is the humidity." If a person is sick, they need to see a physician; if he goes to a good man he will get some advice and medicine if he needs it. A man ought to take as little medicine as possible; we should try to keep well; we should think healthy thoughts and take plenty of rest. We are as much animal as dogs, horses, chickens or any other animal. People do not give their pets spring tonics. The same nature that cares, for the other animals will care for you and adjust you to the various seasonal changes if you listen. If you are ill you need attention, let it be spring, summer, autumn or winter, but be too intelligent to let the druggist or some unscrupulous stuff you with a lot of spring tonic. I have been reading medical books for sixteen years and have not found one yet with anything about the old spring tonic. It is a joke and the man that sells it to you goes back of the counter and laughs. Spring is the most glorious time of the year. Do not spoil it by letting some one stuff a lot of unnecessary medicine down your neck. The man that does it is either a fool or a grafter and you do not want to do business with either one.
