ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as this should Convince

Elioht of the Housef1y.

DR.. Hindle of London finds that
houseHIes tend to travel either against
or across the wind. This direction
may be directly determined BY the ac'
ton Of the wind. or indirectly, owing to
the dies being attracted by odors
borne by the wind. Fine weather and
warmth favor dispersal. and flies
travel further In the open country than
In towns-probably because the houses
offer food and shelter. In thickly
housed localities the usual maximum
flight is about a quarter Of mile, but
In one case a single fly was recovered

Eir.t Beet Extract Factory.

First Beet Extract factory'
Something over hundred years ago
the hacendados (ranchmen) Of Uruguay
complained to the government that
over 100000 head Of cattle were being
killed annually for their hides alone
The carcasses were thrown to the dogs
or left on the rolling pumpas for the
vultures to devour. Beef In Uruguay
was so plentiful that 1t was something
Of q nuisance evidently. OF course
that day has passed, but they still have
cattle enough down there to convert
some 100000 head into 113,OOO.OO0
pounds Of jerked beef in one year
most of which Is sold to Brazil, Cuba
Porto Rico and other tropical countries
Perhaps but few people know that the
Hrst great factory for the production OF
beef extract was established at Fray
Bentos, little city on the Uruguay
river about q hundred miles above
Buenos Aires, the cosmopolitan capital
Of Argentina, and that it is still oper
ating. Fray Bentos has been called
the greatest kitchen in the world. On

There is one highly civilized country
In which not one person in four could

Thsater Headaches.

The most frequent cause OF head
aches occurring during or after the
theater is eve strain. People who use
the full energy Of the delicate eye
muscles to obtain perfect vision are
often unconscious of this strain. In
the theater the continuous effort Ia
keep everything constantly focused eX
hausts the nerve centers and headache
results. The practice of seating the
audience in total darkness while they
are staring into IN intensely lighted
stage Is another serious factor. The
pupils. being widely duated In th'
dark. admit the. excess Of light from
the stage. often producing irritation OF
the eyes which lasts sometimes for
days.
Those subject to headaches should
never sit where 1t Is necessary to rais.
