AS GOOD AS FISHERS BLEND
Is the regular argument Of all who
strive to push the sale of fours made
wholly of Western wheat.
AS good as FISHERS BLEND, they
saw but COSTS LESS. And right
there is where the force Of the argu-
ment fails, for no amount Of argument
and salesmanship can produce flour
made wholly Of Western wheat as
good as FISHERS BLEND.
The price of FISHERS BLEND is
a little more per sack than the price Of
other Aours for the very plain and sim
pie reason that FISHERS BLEND
isn't one of the other hours nor any
thing at all like them. If it was it
would cost what other hours cost and
you would get no more for your
money.
The price of FISHERS BLEND
few cents more per sack than hours
made wholly of Western wheat-is
regulated by the cost of the superior
and carefully chosen materials that go
INTO its composition. In no other -four
on the market is the scientific BLEND
Of EASTERN HARD WHEAT and
WESTERN SOFT WHEAT to be
found.

CONCRETE TO HOLD 4 RlVEi,
Material Used to Patch Holes in 9eu
Through Which the Water Period
Icaiiy vanishee.

It has been found necessary to put
another patch on the bed of the Blanco
river, says the Martindale (Tex.) Dis
patch. This stream has remarkable
way of losing itself, and in order to
restore it to It's surface channel, a
concrete patch has been placed upon
the holes through which it disappears.
For many years it has been empty
ing portions of its flow into small
holes in its bed, but it was not until
about a year ago that the entire bot
tom, SO to speak. dropped out at a
point near San Marcos.
In one night the river below that
point went dry. 1t had had width
of nearly 200 feet ana was flowing q
strong current until the sudden dis
appearance OF the water. TIE drying
up Of the stream meant heavy losses
to persons dependent Upon it for water
supply.
Civil engineers were consulted in re-
gard to restoring the flow, and it was
decided to patch the hole into which
the water was emptying. This was
done at heavy expense.
A few days ago the river wore an
other big hole through tie bed twenty
miles northeast of here and the same
method Of patching is being followed.

FIRST ?Gas1YzE THEIR PREY cHyALhY or TIE ANIMALS
Wasps and Beetles Known to Admin
lister Anesthetics to Their Vic
Tins Before Killing Them.

That the sting of the wasp which
punctures the nerve centers of cap
tured caterpillar or spider usually
paralyzes the creature into helpless
ness, rather than kills it. is well
known. The victim remains alive in
the burrow or cell in which the wasp
stores it as food for the larva which
will emerge from the egg laid in the
same cell. Therefore the newly
hatched grub finds ready for 1t q
provision Of living meat instead Of
decayed carrion.
That wizard" among entomolo-
gists, the venerable Fabre, has dis
covered similar, yet even more ex-
traordinary fact. in the history Of the
glowworm beetle 0ampyris): name
ly. that it anesthetizes the prey upon
which it itself feeds, so that 1t may
consume it at leisure, and predigest-
ed. This beetle, whose brilliant phos-
phorescence attracts the eye in the
dusk of summer evenings, habitually
hunts and seizes upon a certain small
snail in order to eat it. The curious
thing Is that the beetle anesthetizes
the mollusk at the first attack, pre-
venting 1t from escaping by with
drawing to safety deep within its
shell. Upon finding the snail. the
beetle dashes forward, and thrusting
out its sharp, curved mandibEes. re-
peatediv stabs the side Of the body of
its prey. After a few punctures the
snail becomes ,l3s@nsible and remains
In that daI3Cnrd state for three OF
cient for the taatle to complete its
meal.
