free passes to first. and It was one OF

permitted the Phulies to tie the score.
As a matter OF fact, the Phiiiies should
never have scored at all. and Vanguard

a shut-out game for twelve innings.
The one yawning crack In the perfect

sUNfLowER HAS MANY USES
lts Seeds Are Recognized Article Of
Diet and Furnish OIL That
10 Valuable.

Our grandmothers planted usn-
flowers for decorative purposes, pos
sibly for chicken feed, but further
than that they never went, unless
they believed the old saying that
sunhowers keep away malaria. To-
day it is recognized that the sun
flower may become an economic fac
tor if cultivated to any extent.
Russia has realized this for some
time, and here the sunAower indus
try is most fully developed. 1t has
received much attention in India
and Egypt also, and some in Turkey,
Germany, Italy and France. The
sunhower has many uses. The seeds
have been considered good feed for
fowls, and parrots are particularly
fond of them, but now man is using
them for food. In Russia they are
a staple article of diet, the seeds be-
ing sold on the streets as peanuts
are sold here, the only difference be-
ing that they are eaten raw.
The most important product
which comes from the sunfower
probably is the oil, which is obtained
from the seed and which of all vege-
table oil most closely resembles olive
oil. tt is used for table purposes.
When this best oil has been extract
ed, by further pressure more can be
produced, which is of an inferior
quality, but which is good for candle
and soap making, for hair oil, or is
used in place of Hnseed oil in art.

sWATTING FLIES WITH SOAP
Kansas City Physician oevlses an e.
hclent Method Of Destroying tho
Household Pests.

A physician living on the
South side has invented a rather
novel method Of Kidding his house
Of flies. An ordinary drinking glass
half filed with soapsuds is placed in
a convenient window sill. A slice
Of bread with a small hole cut in
the middle and spread on the under
side with molasses, covers the glass.
The hies, alighting ON the bread,
crawl through The hole to get to the
molasses. There they are soon over
come by the fumes of the sodpy wa
ter and fall into it. In few hours
the glass is filled with them. The
physician is very enthusiastic over
the invention, for, he says, it is
much easier than chasing flies all
over the house and then killing only
a few.
'Tt is also safer" he added, ethan
the method / read of in Tuesday
evenings Star, telling of a grocer
who used a pan of formaldehyde. 1
do not doubtthe success of the plan,
but formaldehyde is deadly poison,
and it would be bad thing to keep

convenient and cheap and brings ex-
cellent results. kansas City Star.
