Twenty pounds Of the commercial ar
semitic Of soda, or II pounds of the
white arsenic in the above formula,
either one diluted to make 100 gallons

great care should be exercised in mix

not to get them on the hands or nea
the face, as this might result in their
being taken internally. II used in

GYMNASTICS FOR THE EYES
California Artist, Now in Her Eight.
ieth Year, Tells How She Has
SreserVed Sight.

Mrs. Phoebe C. Taber, wife Of G..
Major Taber Of Los Angeles, is prob
ably the oldest active artist in Cali
fornia. She recently celebrated her
eightieth birthday anniversary at a
family reunion held at the home Of
q cousin, Charles w. Taber, and yet
she plies her brush industriously ev-
cry day and says that she is turning
out as much work as she did many
years ago.
And the most remarkable thing is,"
she says, that l do not have to wear
glasses at all when l paint. / have a
good north light, and l never wear
them. I believe my good eyesight Is
the result of instructions I received
from the first teacher l ever had. He
told me to take good care Of my eyes
above all else, and when v er l should
find that I had overtaxed them to go
to the window and practise eye gym
nastics' by looking first at distant and
then at near objects. l have done so
and am glad Of it."
Mrs. Taber is a versatile artist. Her
studio Is lined with several hundred
of her paintings, and they include por-
traits, figures, landscapes and many
paintings Of California fruits and flow
ers. She exhibited seven paintings at
the worlds fair in Chicago and ex-
hibited in Paris in 1891 and 1892.

ERGOT APPEARS
IN RYE CROP
STRINGENT RULING OF UNITED
STATES GoVERNMEN r,
THROUGH BUREAU OF CHEMIs-
TRY, PERTAINING TO FUNGUS
DISEASE OF RYE CROP.

Owing to the fact that the United
States government, through the
Bureau of Chemistry has ruled that
any rye that contains ergot is unfit
for human Or animal consumption,
and that rye containing any ergot will
be C~onfiscated If shipment Is made i'll
interstate commerce, people viewed the
present crop Of that grain with con-
siderable doubt as to value, and grain
merchants at the terminal have eau
toned the local buyers to guard
against handling this inflicted rye
with the utmost care, for the present
at least, and until some definite ruling
for its handling can be obtained.
An energetic movement has been
started by the grain trade generally
with the federal government with the
view Of obtaining a less stringent rul-
ing, and TO permit the difficulty to be
covered by grading; a ruling that will
permit rye to pass in commerce and
justly be graded upon the amount of
ergot 1t may contain, is expected, and
the first alarm which is looked upon
very seriously it is hoped will dis
appear with a system of grading that
will permit the marketing of all rye.
Ergot, as described by Webster, is
a disease introduced by a minute u n
gus, n it's field of operation is con-
fined to rye n grasses. and in rye
one or more blackish berries may be
found in a head, of a similar forma-
ton to the grain, and these are no
nounced extremely poisonous.
Discussion on the subject. however,
reveals the fact that all the old coun-
try people from rye growing countries
are familiar with the disease, and are
aware Of its poisonous p~erpensities,
but none consider it as serious as our
government has intimated by the rigid
ruling. They in most cases say that
the effect of the diseased berry is I'M
noticeable except that a reasonable
quantity of the ergot will create an
intense desire for sleep, n hat no
bad effect was ever noticeable on
stock.
The Merchants National bank has a
sample Of this ergot on display and
much interest is manifested in the po-
sition the government may take, this
being the first appearance of this dis
ease in this country.

the best tennis of the tournament thus
far. Murray was a slight favorite and
for four sets and part Of the fifth he
fought brilliantly. Then the ~so-called

teams began a rally. Although he lost
his service in a critical game. he soon
squared the match and finally pulled
out the set after fourteen games had
been played. Behr seemed to antici-
pate many of Murray's shots. The play

HOLDUPS NUMEROUS
IN GAINESVILLE NOW

GAINESVILLE Record-Rcview: The
hold-up season is now open in Barnes
VILE. The three meanes men in town
have shown their hands. Saturday
night three husky men waylaid one
small boy and relieved him of all the
money they could find on his person.
Saturday night about 1920 Lawrence
Masterson was returning home, and on
reaching the bridge over Whisky
Creek. the darkest part of the street,
three men aCCosted him and demanded
money. He asserted that he was
broke, but the men seized him and went
through his clothes. He was carrying
SIS, but fortunately $3.50 of his sum
was concealed in an inner pocket, so
that they only got fifty cents for their
trouble. From now on during the fall,
hold-ups are liable to be of frequent
occurrence, and it is dangerous to car
ry money on the streets after nightfall.

HELPLESS IN BED
WOMAN IS BURNED

Red Wing Republican: Seriously i'll
and lying helpless in her bed, Mrs.
Hannah F~Ollingstad, wife of Oscar
F~ollingstad. a prosperous young far
mer residing three miles northwest of
WanamingO, was burned to death in
her home at $50 o'clock Wednesday
evening. Her Charred body was found
in the ruins of the once beautiful home,
an hour later. Her infant child, less
than a week old. asleep in a cradle, OH
the ground floor, was resCued.
The fire was caused by an explosion
of a gasoline stove in the kitchen, when
one of Mrs. Follingstad's sisters start
ed to prepare the supper, according to
report. The stove was located near
the stairs. leading to the bed room,
where Mrs. FOIlingstad was lying.
With escape shut off from the inter-
Tor. ladders were raised from the out
side to the window of the bed room,
where Mrs. Follingstad was lying, but
the room was envelOped in flames and
a moment later the ceiling fell with a
crash, carrying the unfortunate woman
to the ba sement. That Mrs. F~Ollingstad
was asleep and became unconscious
shortly after the fire broke out from
the dense smoke and was unable to rise
from her bed or call for help Is the
belief of the grief stricken members Of
