There is always a way to over

the day Of their birth, and continued
rs long as they live. This gives to
all of them that kindly disposition
which makes them accommodating,
quiet and teachable, and safe. 1t
makes them loving and loyal. 1t
adds to their length of life. A horse
of fretful disposition is old at ten.
while one that has a quiet disposition
may still be young at twenty. 1t is
strange that we do not learn this.
How often does a young man Just
starting in life, buy good team of

them appear to have much spirit ana

STORING PLANT FOOD
FOR PRODUCING ENERGY
N1ann Storage Differ IN Composition te
Starch or Ported Compounds
Century Plant Popular

After the plants food has been
made in the green leaves. what is
done with it?" This Is the natural
question which students of plant life
ask themselves. Careful investiga-
tion shows that some is variously
changed and used in the leaves them
selves. some Is carried to other parts
of the plant where it is needed for
the production of energy and the
building up of new cells, and the
surplus is stored away for the future
needs Of the plants. The place and
manner of storage differ widely in diff
ferent plants. Sometimes the surplus
is accumulated in the form of various
sugars. very often as starch and less
frequently as mucilage similar in COM
position to starch or some proteid
compounds.
There are difficulties encountered in
storing this surplus food Just where 1t
is made. 1t may so obstruct the cells
of the leaf that food making is hinder
ed and leaves are usually rather
small so they can contain only a small
reserve. Besides many plants retain
their leaves for a few months only,
when they fall to the ground to be
replaced by others when another grow
ing season arrives. hence reservoirs Of
food are usually larger and more per-
manent organs. Small amounts of
starch and sugar are usually kept in

the buds will expand into beautiful
flowers.
An excellent example of thick leaves
producing food storehouse Is found
in the American century plant. Agavs
Americana, found most abundantly in
the warm regions of southern United
States and the drier parts of Mexico
and Central America. AS public parks
and greenhouses have been multi
piled. century plants have become fa-
miliar objects in many parts of the
country Found in hot dry countries
they have successfully solved the prob
lem of obtaining plenty Of sunlight
without exposing too much leaf sur
face to the drying winds of the desert.
Their leaves are long and thick, ar
ranged in a loose rosette and covered
with an exceedingly thick epidermis.
In these thick leaves large quantities
of sugar and mucilage are stored.
Century plants are long-lIved but
seldom reach the hundred years that
their names would suggest. The early
years of their life are devoted to the
task of making and storing an accumu-
lation of food to be expended in the
spectacular closing year of their ex-
istence. In the warm climate of Mex
leo and Central America, this task is

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he

could neither sit still nor lie quietly in

would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
