DEATH TO THE Niles.
Powdered HellebOre Advised aS
Effective Weapon.

There is no longer any excuse for
permitting flies to breed in anything
like the numbers in which they have
bred in the past. Several effective
methods of controlling flies have
been discovered and the latest Of
these, the use of powdered hellebore,
is available to practically everybody.
The Federal department of agri-
culture recommends sprinkling on
manure solution prepared by add
ing ] pound powdered hellebore to
10 gallons water. This will destroy
from 8S to SO per cent of all the fly
larvae, or undeveloped flies, in the
manure. Since manure is the prin-
cipal breeding place of flies, such
treatment will do much to control
the flies on any premises.

The Arabs of Syria.

Among the Arabs Of Syria man
changes his name after the birth OF
his eldest son, assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir, with the prefix Abu, meaning
Esfather Of" Thus, if the son is
called Fudle Allan, Goods bounty" "
the father will henceforth be known
as Abu Fudle Allah, "father OF
Gods bounty" In like manner the
mother would become known as
EN- Fudle Allah, "mother of Gods
bounty" This custom is not mere
ly one of common speech, but ex-
tends to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strange
ly, even when a man though mar
ried has no son the courtesy of orr
entail society demands that he
should be addressed as Abu Salim
or Abou Mahmoud, after an imagi-
nary son whom politeness confers
upon him.

Colorina Matter I'm Butter.

A reader asks: What is the most
desirable coloring for butter? What
amount is best and how should it be
used"
Butter color is regular article on
the market and. is sold by all dealers
in dairy supplies. Most butter color
is prepared from the seed of the an
natto tree.
The amount used varies from none
to about two ounces for every 100
pounds of butter fat. Southern mar
kets usually demand a rather liberal
use of color, or rather highly col
ored or yellow butter.
The coloring should be diluted in
a small amount of cold water and
added to the cream before churning.

Shipping Tomatoes.

For distant markets. gather fruit
Just as soon as the blossom end turns
yellow and slight traces of pink are
apparent. Careful grading is neces-
sary to put up a discriminating pack.
In each pack only tomatoes of the
same size and degree of ripening
should be found. If disposed of on
the local market, do not gather until
practically ripe.
In shipping, the best results are
obtained when the stems are remov-
ed and the fruit is wrapped in white
news or any type of soft paper.
Place all fruit with stem end down.
The standard shipping receptacle is
the Georgia six-basketpeach carrier.

LIGHT IS ENERGY.
lf the Rays Are Not Absorbed They
Will Travel "a Forever.

If one could get an inclosed room
with perfectly mirroring walls and
light an electric bulb in it for Sec
ond and then suddenly annihilate
the bulb the light would 60 on re-
flecting back and forth forever. So
if one could look into this room a
year later he would see the lighted
bulb, which no longer existed, mir
rored in all the walls of the room.
However, if the bulb had been
left in the room after being ex-
tinguished it, being dead and not a
perfect reflector, would finally have
absorbed all the light back and
have converted it into heat.
If light from an object is not abb
sorbed it, being energy, travels on
forever. Take church steeple with
the sun shining on it and no clouds
above. The light reflected from the
steeple will 60 out into space and
travel forever unless it strike some
matter in space. So person on a
distant planet could see the steeple
if he had glasses strong enough
the matter of seeing being merely
to receive enough light from the
seen object to impress the retina.
If this celestial observer were
very far away the light of course
would take some time to get to
him and he could not possibly see
the steeple as soon after the sun
struck it as could an observer on
the earth.
In the regions of space there are
rays of light that were reflected
from people and buildings ages ago.
If some one were there to catch
these rays he could actually see
things that long ago ceased to ex-
list except as light rays.
Astronomers do actually see such
things, for they can look at stars
whose light has taken forty years to
get to the earth. If these forty
year stars were to 60 out no one
on the earth could possibly see
them 60 out for forty years. They
would still be seen in the sky as
bright as ever for forty years more.
This fact demonstrates more
plainly than any other that what
one sees is light and not objects.
A friends face, for instance, is not
seen. Nothing is seen but the light
reflected from that friends face.
The friend could be annihilated and
one would see his face for short
time thereafter-that is, would see
the light from his face.-New York

What ,ntermitteney Means.

Intermittency is that form OF ir-
regularity in which the pulse ap-
pears to drop beat occasionally
In some instances it occurs regular
ly and two or three times per min
ute for several hours. Sometimes
also it is very irregular and is noted
a number of times within a few
seconds and not again for minute

causes much uneasiness. Yet, while
it may be a very serious symptom

durable disease of the heart, it Of
