Poisoning the Boil weevil.

B. w. Marston of the Louisiana crop
pest commission predicts that in five
years the cotton boil weevil will be
universally poisoned wherever it is in
April and May, just as the potato bug
lis being universally poisoned. Mr..
Marston bases his prediction on expert
ments carried on at Keachie, La, last
year. He contends that it has been
conclusively proven that the hibernated
weevil can be killed in April and May
with paris green, and, he adds, in
Farm and Ranch:
THE Keachie demonstration proves
that had every weevil in Texas and
Louisiana been poisoned upon its first
appearance it would have solved the
boil weevil proposition. But it is said
that the boil weevil continues hibernat-
ing into the hot, scorching month OF
June 81. All the weevils put up this
last year died in December. We can
risk those June hibernated CO weevils."

Japan.s Pancake Women.

One of the familiar sights on the
streets of Japanese town is the pam
cake woman, who, with her little bra
zier of Goals and her tiny frying pan, is
usually found on corner not far from
school. She has bowl full of deli
cious batter, ladle and cake turner,
and there is apt to be hungry crowd
around her little stand as soon as
school is out, for not many Of the chill
dren are able to resist the smell of the
crisp pancakes, at least If they have
any money. For small coin worth
only fraction of one Of our pennies
a child may fry and turn his own
cakes. and happy is the one who has a
number of coins in his little kimono
sleeve and can fry and eat to his
hearts content

NO ONE WOULD EAT ALUM.
Food that Contains Alum or an Alum
Residue is UnhealthfM.

Here is some interesting evidence
upon the alum baking powder sub
ject:
Prof. A. S. Mitchell of Milwaukee,
late chemist to the Wisconsin Dairy
and Food Commission, in testifying
before the congressional committee,
which was collecting information to
aid in the matter of pure food legis-
lation, said that there was no ques-
ton but the tendency of the chem
ical impurities which would remain
in food made with alum baking
powders would be deleterious. As
to the claim made by the manu-
facturers that alum powders left no
alum in the food, he said he had
failed to find any such powders
which, in the ordinary process of
cooking, would not leave some solu-
BILE alum in the food.
Doctor Schweitzer, the accom-
plished professor of chemistry at the
university of Missouri, after series
of experiments with bread raised
with alumni baking powder, report
ed: Careful analysis of the bread
thus prepared shows a portion of
the alum from the baking pOWderS
remaining in the bread as such and
unaltered."
The fact that alum if taken with
food into the stomach would be
injurious is not questioned or dis
puted by any one. AS scientific
evidence would seem to prove that
when food is raised with alum bak-
ing powder some part of the alum
remains in the food, the prudent
course for the housewife is appar-
ent.

Dangers of Cocaine.

Cocaine, an alkaloid of cocoa leaves,
was discovered in 1869, but remained
In comparative obscurity until 1884. In
minute doses. whether taken internally
or used as spray on mucous surfaces,
its effect is wonderfully celebrating,
producing for a time the fresh and
buoyant sensations of youth and per-
feet health, that have apparently no
unpleasant reaction, and therein lies
the explanation of the subtle and ir-
resistible power it quickly acquires
over its victims, carrying them to the
very brink of destruction before they
have dreamed of danger. Being a Gu
mulative poison, the first warning
symptom does not appear until the
fatal chains are riveted that shall drag
them, horror stricken and powerless of
resistance, over the precipice to COM
plete mental, moral and physical ruin.

I see more Of the native Indians

inch long, has an appearance OF both

lagartijo 6 inches long with the ap-
pearance somewhat of a lizard

great open sores which are at last
