would smoke a cigar in the same way,
nor would the same individual smoke
two cigars under exactly similar con-
ditions. 1t is necessary, therefore
to use some means of smoking the
cigars artificially in order TO eliminate
the personal equation and secure uni
formity of conditions.
I'VE have made an apparatus. the
original of which was devised by S.
L. Penfield of Yale university, for
smoking cigars. The pull on the cigar
is by means of an aspirator, which is
filled by a continuous inflow of water
and emptied at regular intervals by
a siphon. AS many as four cigars
may be smoked at once, while held
in such a position that they may be
readily compared throughout the opef-
alton. The holders for the cigars are
so arranged that they lie in the same
vertical plane, each two inches above
and having its horizontal arm two
inches shorter than the next lower A
screen with a white covering is placed
Immediately in the rear of the hold

facilitating the observation of the

growers nearly s10O,OOO,0O0.
The department of agriculture gives
detailed advice on tobacco, from the
preparation of the soil for the seed tc
the smoking - the product. 1t tells
how TO tie up a seed head with a paper
| bag to prevent mixing. how 10 trans
plant the plants from the seed-bed 20
the field; how to build the curing
barn, and describes the sort of cigar
10 buy for good smoke.
In order to test the quality of cigars
and tobaccos government experts
must actually smoke or have the cigars
smoked. For a long while after the
designations began cigars were turn
over to clerks in the department
to smoke them and to report thereon
to the inspector. But this method of
testing was no, satisfactory, as no two
persons smoked alike or under the
same conditions.
Then Dr. Wightman w Garner,
scientific assistant of Investigations in
ed a smoking machine to test the burn
ing quality of cigars.
"A systematic effort is being made
to improve the quality and yield of
the tobacco crop by employing the
latest and most approved methods of
selection in the old varieties and by
creating and establishing new strains
possessing to a marked degree those
aracteristics most to be desired in
e tcbaccos which the market de-
mands," says DR.. Garner. This work
requires the careful testing of large
of types, and for this reason
IL is very desirable to have at our
command methods capable of showing
with certainty even slight differences
in the essential qualities of the various
samples TO be examined
"A good burn is one of the require

( One of the common emergencies OF

nothing which will make a child cry
more terrifyingly or give the mother
more alarm than a burn, whether from
actual fame or from steam, or boiling
water. Too much care cannot be
taken TO ward of this emergency. Hot
water should not be left standing
around where a child can tumble or
dip into it. Lamps, candles, etc,
should be placed beyond his reach.
Matches should never be left where he
can strike them. However, careful as
the mother may be, children will burn
themselves, and a mother should be
prepared for the emergency.
Keep on hand gauze bandages in
several widths and a bottle OF sweet
oil and lime water in equal proportion.
This is effective if the skin is merely

troys the first layer OF skin causing
blisters TO arise, there is danger of in

The same antiseptic treatment may
be used for the more severe burns
where the flesh is actually scared. in

Duncan Man Here to Investigate :

Of Large Capacity Old
Franchise Lapses

Whether or not Chickasha is 70 be
furnished with natural gas, may de-
pend upon the Investigation of condi-
lions made by F. f. Rhoades Of Dun
can today. Mr.. Rhoades was here and
spent some time In consultation with
Mayor Burton regarding the PROPOSE
tion.
According to his statement, the COM
pany he represents. the name OF which
concern he did not mention, has plenty
OF gas TO sell and are now feeling Their
way to a probable market in chicka-
sha. I'VE have the gas and we want
to sell It," said Mr. Rhoades. We
would prefer to sell il to Chickasha
and other towns in this section, but
if arrangements cannot be made, we
win have to seek market elsewhere.
We have two wells now, one Of which
is OF 100000 feet capacity. and We
are now drilling on the third we'll.
There is then no possibility OF our be-
ing unable to supply the gas. What
we want now is a franchise"
Mr.. Burton stated that the company
proposing 10 put in the natural gas
would have TO pay all expenses of sub
hitting the franchise and that the stip-
ulations OF such franchise would prob
ably carry short time limit for the
date OF installation
The field is open in Chickasha at the
present time, as the time limit in the
franchise granted to the Big Horizon
Oil and Gas company and later taken
over by the Southwestern people, ex-
pired on August 5. 1918, and is consid
cred aull and void
Mr.. Rhoades did not state definitely
that the proposition would terminate
in some definite action in the immedi
ate future. but the mere fact that he
was here to investigate is evidence
that some action is contemplated.

They proceeded into Southtown in
quest OF cargo of whisky, informa-
ton OF which had come through SER

fected an entrance and started thor
ough search. All the customary places
where contraband liquor is usually se-
creted, were searched without satisfac-
tory result. While in the midst Of the
hunt, a negro entered the place, and
speaking to the proprietor said, "Ah

Did All leave it in heah?"
Il dunno. Sam, but shore believes
dat's it hangin' dar on de wall
Yes, dat am it. All shore was lucky
to find it, and the owner of the coai
