Lomax's February clearance sale
is the talk of the town and sur
rounding country. Truly has this
store been the scenes of bargain
hunters these days, for prices have
been drastically reduced to effect
an absolute clearance. OF course
heaviest reductions are being made
on winter merchandise, but also
you will find you can make sub
stantial savings on merchandise
for future wants as we'll as present
needs. This clearance sale con-
tinues to the end of February.

the investigators found that 062 of a pound of
borax, or OTIS of a pound of calcined colemanite
(crude calcium borate) would kill the maggots
and prevent practically all of the flies ordinarily
breeding in eight bushels of horse manure from
developing. This was proved by placing manure
In cages and comparing the results from piles
treated with borax and from untreated piles.
The borax, it was found, killed the fly eggs and
maggots in the manure and prevented their
growth into flies.
two ounces of borax or calcined colemanite, cost
Ing from five cents a pound upward, according
to the quantity which is purchased, will e~ffectual
ly prevent flies from breeding.
While 1t can be safely stated that no injurious
action has followed the application of manure
treated with borax at the rate of 81 pounds for
eight bushels. or even larger amounts in the case
Of some plants, nevertheless borax-treated ma.
nure has not been studied In connection with the
growth Of all crops, nor has its cumulative effect
been determined. It is therefore recommended
that not more than Is tons of the borax-treated
manure should be applied per acre to the field.
AS truck growers use considerably more than this
amount, is is suggested that all cars containing
borax-treated manure be SO marked, and that
public health officials ~stipulate in their directions
for this treatment that not over so (62-100) of a
pound for eight bushels of manure be used, as
1t has been shown that larger amounts of borax
will injure most plants. 1t is also
that all public health officials and others in
recommending borax treatment for killing fly
eggs and maggots in manure warn the
public against the injurious effects of large
amounts of borax on the growth of plants.
Purchasers of manure produced in cities during
the ny-breeding season should insist that the
dealers from whom they purchase give them a
certified statement as to whether or not the
manure In the particular car or lot involved in
the purchase has been treated with borax.
In feeding to hogs garbage that contains borax
care Is also recommended, especially when the
animals are being fattened for market. Borax is
not a very poisonous substance and the feeding
of garbage that contains it to hogs is not likely
to be a serious matter. On the other hand, borax
In large quantities does produce gastric dis
turbances and for this reason a certain amount
Of care Is advisable.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1915-06-18

The method for using this substance in the
case of stables is to sprinkle the borax or cole
mantle in the quantities given above, by means
of a flour sitter or other fine sieve, around the
outer edges of the pile of horse manure. The
manure should then be s~prinkled Immediately
with two or three gallons of water to eight BUSH
els of manure. 1t is essential. however, to sprin.
kle a little of the borax on the manure as 1t is
added daily to the pile, instead of waiting until
a full pile is obtained. because this will prevent
the eggs which the flies lay on fresh manure
from Matching. As the fly maggots congregate at
the outer edge of the manure pile. most of the
borax should be sprinkled there.
Borax costs five to six cents. per pound in 100
pound lots in Washington, and it is estimated
that at this rate it would cost only one cent per
horse per day to prevent all breeding of flies in
city stables. II calcined colemanite is purchased
in large shipments. this cost should be consider.
ably less. At the same time, if the borax is used
on the manure only in the proportions stated,
its value for use in the garden or for sale to
farmers will not be lessened.
In view of this discovery, there now seems
little excuse for any horse owner or resident Of
a city allowing typhoid flies to breed in his stable
or garbage can.
1t is believed that this information will greatly
help the health authorities in their campaign
against the typhoid fly. The health authorities
have long tried to prevent the breeding of flies in
city stables through the use of iron sulphate as a
larvacide. In the case of iron ~sulphate, however.
a large amount is required, and other insecticides,
such as paris green or potassium cyanide, while
effective in killing flies, are very expensive or
extremely poisonous. Borax, which is used free
ly in most households, and is readily available
in all parts of the country, has the advantage of
being comparatively nonpoisonous and nonin.
fammable, readily soluble in water and easy to
handle. 1t can be purchased at retail for ten
cents a pound, and a single pound used as d.
rected In a garbage pail or open toilet may pre-
vent the breeding of hundreds of dangerous flies

ceIIuloid Watch CRYSTALS.

At the outbreak of the war Americ-
can watchmakers were much con-
cerned regarding the watch crystal sit
u~ation; the German source of supply
being shut off, and previous attempts
to make them in this country having
failed.
Watch crystals of glass are row be-
ing made here successfully. and an
American inventor has helped the
matter along by devising a celluloid
watch crystal, which has the beyeled
edge and general appearance of a
glass crystal and possesses the ad-
ditional advantage of being unbreak
able.

GET POWER
The Supply Comes From Food,

If we get power from food, why M

is only possible by selecting food that

Western town.

BEST MAKE HASTE W
Little Really Good and Lasting Work
Has Been Accomplished Under
Strain of Hurry.

"The more haste, the less speed"
is an old proverb that would make q
good motto for many people in these
days when most of us are always in
a driving hurry, remarks the Mil
waukee Journal. Work that is hurried
isn't often well done. The letter writ
ten il haste sometimes proves to be
illegible, or, what is perhaps worse,
so nearly illegible that it results in a
misunderstanding that loses far more
time than 1t would have taken to write
correctly. One may be in such great
haste to complete an article he is
making that he sights some part Of
It. And just that flaw may cause a
break in the machinery and result in
loss of time and great waste.
Then there are the hundreds of
times when undue haste doesn't in
volve great consequences, but simply
means Inferior work that must be
done again some time, and perhaps
cause Inconvenience and loss until 1t

Too Many Doctors

There are too many physicians in
Ohio, according to an article written
on the subject by DR.. Henry P.
Pritchett, of the Carnegie foundation
for the Advancement of teaching, made
public by President Charles F. Thwing
of Western Reserve University. DIR.
Pritchett says that 556S of the 1912
physicians in the state were trained
in Ohio medical schools.
in Ohio there is a physician for
every $50 of population-three times
the number found in a thickly-settled
country like Germany" says DR.. Pritch-
EFT, who says Columbus is the states
most be-doctored city, where there is
one for every $40 inhabitants. Gin
cinnati has one for every $50, Cleve-
land has one for each 1000. DR.. Pritch-
EFT says only 1890 physicians in the
state came from institutions ciassed
as respectable" by the educational
council of the American Medical AS
sociation, and 1919 of these better
trained doctors came from medical
schools outside the state.
