The sunhower has assumed greater
other country. Even by the upper
classes the seeds are much eaten, the
larger and finer ones being equal to
most nuts in palatability and whole
someness. While the poorer and less
perfect seeds furnish an oil which Is
somewhat turbid and bitter, the better
ones yield a superior quality that n
said to compare favorably with the
olive oil Of commerce. The stalks and
straw Of the sunfower are highly priz-
ed as fuel, being in some parts Of the
empire the only available substitute
for wood to burn. Sunfower oil seems
TO have more Of the general properties
Of olive oil than any other known sub
stitute. OF late years, when purified,
1t has been used extensively to adulter-
ate olive oil. 1t is Of pale yellowish
color and decidedly palatable. In q
crude state it is used by painterss but
to no very great extent being mixed
with cheap paints and prepared stains,
but it does not equal linseed oil for
varpish. The cake left after the ex-
traction of the oil by pressure is ex-
tremely rich, being equal in this re
spect to the maize cake or lInseed cake
Branches and stalks Of the plant are
used for fodder and are highly nu-
tritious.
One of the many ways Of utilizing the
seeds is practiced In the poorer dis
tricts of Europe, where fair kind Of
bread is made from them. Many cheap
cigars are made from the leaves Of the
plant. When properly cured the leaves
make fair wrappers for cigars, and
they are employed to a greater extent
than is generally thought. Pulyerized
and used with an equal quantity Of to-
bacco the combination is not so bad for
pipe smoking. The sunflower gives q
peculiar aroma to the tobacco which is
much liked by some smokers. Cheap
cigarettes are often adulterated with
sunflower leaves. In China the fiber Of
the stalks, which Is fine, silky and very
strong, Is woven into silk fabrics, and
1t is believed with the proper machin-
cry 1t might be utilized with much
profit in this country.
1t is an interesting fact that the va
riety of sunfower most grown In this
country is called the Russian. Farm
ers say that nothing fattens chickens
SO quickly as the seeds Of this plant,
which seem to encourage hens to lay.
Paper has been made from the stalks,
but In the treeless region where the
sunhower is most extensively grown
their highest value Is for fuel.
Though the economic value OF the
sunfower has been but recently sub
ject OF discussion, Its aesthetic value
has long been recognized. In Kansas
the borders of wagon roads and rail-
roads are frequently lined for miles
with the blossoms, which In August
and September, when the flowers are
In full bloom, are a feature Of the
prairie landscape. These are not the
large flowers grown In our gardens
for ornamental purposes, but are
smaller variety, which grows Wild

Nelnnn,a RIRhf Hand.

Nelson's attachment to hIs friends
was as ardent as his courage When he
was presented to King George III. at
his levee, his majesty congratulated
him on his great actions. After this
eulogium he condoled WIKI Tim On the
loss OF his arm. Nelson turned around
to Captain Berry, who had been the
companion Of many of his exploits, and
introduced him to the king with this
remark: my loss. assure your maj
esty, Is not so great as you imagine,
for here Is my right hand"

THIS VALUABLE PLANT HAS GREAT
ECONOMIC VALUE.

All It's Parts, From stalk TO SEEDS,
May De Made a Source of Revenue
to CuItivators--It Is Logically Our
National Flower.
The sundower might be n most ap-
propriate choice for the national flower
of our country since II originated here
In the regions OF the great plains.
Specimens Of 1t were taken to Europe
by the early Spanish explorers. and IL
was first cultivated In the old world
In the gardens of Madrid. The plant
was utilized by tho American Indians
long before the days OF Columbus.
Champlaln, when he visited Georgian
bay In 1915, found the aborigines there
growing 1t and using the oil made from
the seeds on their hair. 1t was raised
chiefly for the sake OF the food which
It's seeds supplied. To SO high a point
had II been developed by the natives on
this continent that during tho three and
q half centuries which have elapsed
since its adoption by the white men IL
has not boen improved TO any extent,
merely retaining the original size which
distinguished II from It's wild original.
In Russia the plant is Of great eco
nomic importance, It's seeds being eaten
In immense quantities, raw or roasted.
Just as we eat peanuts. The Oil OBJ
tanned by pressing the seeds Is also
widely used as an article OF diet. The
stalks and oil cakes make excellent fod-
der, the leaves are employed as a sub
stitute for tobacco. and the fber Of the
stalks has high value. The oil Of the
sunhower is widely employed In Rus
sia, where the frequent religious feasts
restrict the use OF meat. There are
three principal varieties cultivated In
the cars territory-one with large
white seeds. which are said to yield the
most oil; one with smaller black seeds,
which are sweeter and considered the
best for eating, and an intermediate
form with striped seeds. used both for
eating and the production OF oil.

and made for the stairway, down
which he went three steps ut time.

the man at the other desk. why did

Many years ago Bill Smith was o
well known character In Missouri
town whose name need not be mention
ed here. Bill was colored boy who
roamed the streets at will. One day
he found pocketbook containing $40
and the owners name was stamped
ON the book.
But Bill burned the pocketbook and
spent the $40 in riotous living. or
course 1t was found out, and Bill was
arrested, tried, found guilty and sent
to the penitentlary for two years. He
served his time, and when he emerged
he knew something about making shoes.
The day he returned to his home an
old acquaintance met him and asked:
"Well, what did they put you at In
the prison, BillT'
'Dey started In to make an honest
boy out'n me, sah."
"Thats good, Bill, and I hope they
succeeded"
"Dey did, sah."

honest, BillY

FROM INQUEST

Cambridge, Mass. May 4-Cfty Solicitor
G.. A. A. Pevey, counsel for Erich Muen-
ter. was refused admission today 10 the
secret inquest opened at the Third district
court into the death OF Mrs. Leone Muon-
reT, VINO died recently under mysterious
circumstances
Lawyer Pevey made a formal request
60 Judge Almy 10 be permitted TO be pres
ent at. the proceedings, but the judge
ruled that this was a question for the
district attorney to pass upon
District Attorney George A. Sanderson
held that as the inquest was purely a
governmental inquiry to determine the
cause OF death and not trial OF any one
person, counsel for Muenter had no right
TO attend.
The frst three witnesses to enter the
court room were Professor William s.
whitney OF Harvard. who reported To the
police that Mrs. Muenter had died from
arsenical poisoning; DIR. Herbert Mcintyre
and Dr f. w. Taylor. both OF whom at
tended Mrs. Muenter in her last illness,
and whose suspicious were aroused on ac-
count OF certain conditions found with
the patient.
No word from Muenter was received to-

ever of the mans possible movements.

SERIOUSLY I'LL
Of PARALYSIS

DR. J. W. G. Ely. whose s60th anniver-

celebrated last week by a great many
physicians was seized with a paralytic
stroke at his home late on Monday night
Early on Tuesday morning Or. Ely's
family found that he had partially lost
his speech during the night, and that his
right arm was paralyzed.
DIR. Frank T. Fulton was summoned.
and found evidences OF slight paralysis,
but Or. Ely's mental condition entirely
clear.
DR. c. Alder Bmmer was called into
consultation and Or. Fred Shattuck OF
Boston was also summoned.
Since Tuesday morning DIR. Ely has
apparently lost no strength. He Is
conscious and recognizes all his family
and friends without difficulty. and his
speech is only slightly affected.
DR. Fulton, when asked for statement
concerning the illness of his patient, said:
THE paralysis Is slight: and. while in
a man OF Dr. Ely's age II is impossible
TO forecast the ultimate result. | do not
consider his condition Immediately seri-

"The stroke has affected his right side
