ROOTS SERVE
TWO PURPOSES
They Not Only Drink Up Dissolved
Foods. but Also Serve to Hold
Plant IN Fixed Position
Strong In a Way.
(By II. II. SHEPARD)

Roots serve two purposes for the
plant. They not only drink up dis
solved foods, but also serve to hold
the plant in fixed position.
The older and larger the plant
grows the more roots 1t needs to Sc
curely hold it in place and to fully
satisfy its drinking needs.
All of the roots of a plant help
to hold 1t in place, but the youngest
and finest roots do the drinking.
These young, fine roots are called
feeding roots. They grow out in all
directions in the moist soil in search
of food for the plant.
At the end of each tiny feeding root
is a little cap resembling the finger
of a glove. The function of this little
root cap Is to protect the tender root
let as it pushes its way through hard
bits Of soil.
Although young and apparently
tender, these feeding roots are very
strong in way.
Through the power of expansive
growth, they are able OF push slowly
through the very hard soil, and even
penetrate some rocks, bursting them
into pieces.
With large plants, such as trees
they penetrate very deep down into
the ground where the soil is always
moist, but always as hard as rock.

Comparative Rate Of Decomposi.

The results of the Investigations in
to the comparative rate of decomposi-
tion of drawn and undrawn market
poultry made by the United States de-
partment of agriculture during the sea-
son 1909-1910 have just been published
in Chemistry Circular 20. The condi-
tions of the experiment were strictly
commercial, as the fowls were killed
and dressed by the regular employees
of a poultry packing house, were ship
ped in the usual one-dozen-to-the-box
package in car-lot of dressed poultry,
were received by a wholesaler and
handled with his stock, and went to
the retailer when he purchased fowls
from the samo car-lot, remaining in
his shop for the period which the mar
ket happened to require for their sale.
The shipments extended over a pc
riod of six months, from January to
June, inclusive, and the haul was
about 100 miles requiring on the
average of 7h days. The birds were
mature hens, large and fairly fat, and
the method of killing was by bleeding
through the mouth and puncturing the
brain through the skull just below the
eye. The carcasses were dressed ac.

DOUBLE OF THE CAR
DANE WHO PROUDLY COPIED
HIS IMPERIAL MODEL.
Played the Role SO Well That Finally
He Began to Dread tho
Nlhilists and Went
Insane.

There is an old story to the effect
that a man who may be called Jones
was assured by Smith that he was
the very picture of Robinson. So he
hunted up Robinson, and apprised
him Of the comparison.
well, I'll punch Smiths head for
him when next l come across him.!
Robinson said
"Oh, l have already done that"
was Jones' reply.
1t was in a very different spirit
from this that banker in Copen-
hagen, named Carlsben, received the
intimation of friend that he resem-
bled Alexander Ill, cZar OF Russia.
He had never seen the c2ar, but so
far as he could judge by such por-
traits as were available, he found, on
looking in the mirror. that his friend
had not exaggerated the resemblance.
The idea pleased him greatly, and
from that day forward he left nothing
unGone to increase the likeness, and
to enable him to play the part or
double to the czar.
For example. whereas he had for
merly belonged to the confraternity
of the clean-shaven, he now allowed
his beard to grow and wax bushy and
had It trimmed like that Of his
model.
The great desire of his heart, how
ever, was to be presented to the cZar.
This, too, he accomplished year ago,
when Alexander III. was staying at
Fredensborg, and the autocrat of all
the Russias is said to have been
much amused at the striking resem-
blance between himself and his
double. This was the acme Of Carls-
bens happiness, compared to which
all the other events of his life were
vanity. From that time forth he
studiously copied his imperial model,
drove about through the streets OF
Copenhagen in a four-in-hand. and
was often saluted by policemen and
civilians in the belief that he was
the czar, and that he was visiting his
father-in-law. the king of Denmark.
But Carlsben played his role too
well. He identified himself SO com
pletely with the czar that he gradual
ly began to experience the cares and
to dread the dangers to which the lat
ter is exposed. One morning he
awoke with a fixed idea that he was
Alexander III. Soon afterward his
peace Of mind was disturbed by the
Vaccinations of the Nihilists. and at
last he had to be confined in luna
tic asylum, where he died few
weeks ago.

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, l did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
/ was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was SO bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
1 was q widow and had child de-
penddRt upon me. 1t was to protect
her laeure that wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, l happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
fitted by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. / grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
dtkely. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
"Then l again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.

That is pretty drastic cut. TO be
sure, and would il put into force. be
severe blow to the market prices for
wool. 1t will be noticed that the first
three items named relate specific
to wool, and on the average they cut
the wool duty rather more than half.
The other items relate to manufactured
wool in different forms, and they also
indicate cut of rather more than fifty
per cent. II is doubtless true that if
such a cut as this, were put into effect,
it would be very hard on the wool in
dustry in this western country. At the
same time, as the Eastern papers say,
il would make heavy cut in the cost
of living by reducing the cost of wool
en- clothing proportionately; at least
it ought to do this. Whether the com
binations handling wool manufacture
and clothing would permit of the re-
duction which would seem to be prom
iscd by these cuts, is another ques-
tion.
But. the main thing 10 consider now
is that there is not the least likeli-
hood of any such cut AS this being put
into effect. And so the wall contained
in the minority report of Representa-
tives Payne, Dalzell, Needham and
Longworth is merely an academic yell.
There is not the least likelihood of the
Senate agreeing to such cut at the pres

Taft has specifically announced that he
