now THE CORN Pr4Nr~eRowy

The corn plant needs leaves and
roots to manufacture the material
that makes up the plant. This means
that the progress is slow at first as
the roots and leaves are small. Tie
first thing the plant does is to build
up the stem, leaves and root. When
this is done it manufactures the ma
terial for filling the ear. This means
that when the corr plant has tassellel
out it has Just built the frame work
and that most Of the food value in the
corn plant is produced after this
stage. The corn plant does not have
the machinery for manufacturing food
very fast, before it has built the
roots stem and leaves. After the
corn plant has tasselled out it can
produce more food value in a week
or ten days than it has from the time
it came up, till tasselled out. This
shows the importance of producing
corn that will ripen or nearly get
ripe, as it is after the corn plant at
tains its full size that it produces the
most food value.-N. D. Exp. Sta.

HEALTH news

What profiteth a man that he gain
the whole world yet lose his health?
Naturalists say that long ago the
prehistoric waters were infested with
aspecies of enormous shark which
finally became extinct by reason of
the workings Of its varacious appe-
tite. Thus Nature eliminates the
over-fed.
The desire for ease and life and
plentiful diet is universal and is the
great stimulus of ma and animals
alike. When man becomes greedy
and takes more ease and food and
drink than is his share. Nature dis
cards him.
In the race for power and place,
for ease of circumstance and relief
from the stimulus of hunger, the mod
ern man is apt to forget that unless
he is careful Of his body he will soon
be made to suffer for the infraction
of Natures memorable physical law.
With loss in body tone ome an
equal loss of mental faculty and the
brain which for a time was able to
operate despite the complaints of an
over-fed, under-exercised, self-poison-
ed body, stops working.
Statisticians have discovered that
the mortality rate of persons in the
United States over IS years of age is
increasing. The strenuous life of to-
day is not alone responsible for this.
Lack of health-giving exercise, super
fluffy of diet, lack of restoring sleep
over-stimulation. the high pressure of
the race for power, wealth and posi-
J ton, plus physical neglect, - these
bring early decay. The goal is
reached wealth is amassed, honor,
position and power are just being

plishment turns to the ashes of dis

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, August
ia correspondent who has just

lenses that have been raised there.
A long line of barbed wire entangle-
ment stretches along the coast, and
an endless series of long slender
ships guns protrude from the coarse
grass of the dunes, and behind the
dunes crouch the heavy howitzers.
Underground dwellings and bomb
proof concrete form part of the
great trench along the entire coast,

Everywhere the endless line is occu-
pied by sailors, who endeavor to find
relief for the monotony of their life
in gardening and in the care of their
pigs, goats, rabbits and birds.

an enormous unexploded shell, hurled
ashore by one of the big British war
ships, and which now forms the

of SO centimeter caliber.
What one sees in the way of dc
struction is the work of the fas

coastal towns with their quick firin

gnawed away; here and there a gabl
exhibits great holes. But the damag

power with the brightness of the star
as it appears to the eye leads at once
to the result, just as one might cal
culate the distance of street lamp
by comparing its observed brightness
with its known candle power.
Although the method is at present
applicable only to the yellow and red
stars, it promises to yield informa-
ton OF the greatest value. No other
known process is capable of finding
the distances of more than a few
hundred stars, just those which are
nearest to us In consequence we
know little or nothing about the dis
tribution of the stars throughout
space and the form and limits of the
stellar universe.
1T is popularity of the new
method that it can be applied to the
distant stars with the same ease as
to our nearer neighbors. 1t is only
necessary that the star should be
bright enough for observation with a
spectroscope. A few years should
therefore be sufficient for the accu-
mutation of observations which will
greatly increase our knowledge of the
structure of the universe of stars"
