he had been strangers for hours.
"I'll drink no more" he cried petu-
lantly. For day and night have

thou hast been good friend and hast
taught me many things and told me

Tola shrugged his shoulders in 81

The bowels are the naturall sewer
age system OF the body. When they
become INSTRUCTED by constipation
part of the poisonous matter
which they should carry off is alb
sorbed into the system, making you

of food. This condition is quickly
relieved by Chamberlain Tablets.

WHY BANANAS CATCH COLD
Any Sudden Change Of Temperature
Affects the Fruit and Has In
furious Effect.

You have probably had many a ba.
mana that has been covered with
brown spots and streaks of brown and
Is very 'squashy" inside. Most peo-
pie think that such a banana is mere
" oyerripe. As a matter of fact, that
particular fruit has caught a bad cold.
Bananas are shipped to America in
great punches, the fruit being cut
when it is green and hard. If they
were cut when they were ripe they
would bruise and rot on their way.
The big green lunches of fruit are
hung up in a~hot storeroom to ripen,
and to come to perfection they must
be kept in an " temperature. Any
sudden change of heat, a rush of cold
air or Il draft, makes the fruit spotted,
and it quickly becomes sodden and I'M
eatable. That is because it has caught
cold.
When that happens the punches of
fruit are at Once sold, often at an ex-
tremely low rate, and for a short time
the bananas are "cheap today"

OLDEST INDUSTRY OF EARTH
Production Of Grain Is Easily Entitled
to the Credit Which Belongs
to the Title.

"In the early history of the race our
ancestors probably noticed that certain
birds and animals sought much of
their food in the seeds of grasses while
the smaller animals dug into the earth
for roots and tubers," said Ernest
Clark, English chemist, in addressing
the congress of applied chemistry.
Thus man early learned to make
the Starchy foods one of the main ar
ticles Of his daily fare, and it is true
today that among all peoples in all
climates bread from cereals or some
Starchy substance is considered the
staff of life" he continued.
The greatest source of starchy food
Is Of course, the seeds of the various
cereals which we classify as grain.
he amount of such material produced
by the soil in a year is almost beyond
calculation. The production of this
golden flood of grain is the earth's
Oldest and greatest industry.
To produce these harvests the soil
supplies the water and mineral nutri-
ments, while the carbon dloxide and
sunlight lend their aid through nc
effort of man. His duty, then, is to see
that the soil is kept in its most pro
ductive condition. The observation OF
primitive nan that the seeds of certain
plants made an acceptable food was
the beginning of agriculture.

Watch Farm Insects, Expert
Advises.



The insect of the farm are
not given their due attention and
determination, according to t.
J. Talbert Of the College Of Ag-
rculture Of the University of
Missouri.
"The apparent Indifference and
lack of knowledge on the part of
many farmers concerning in
sects is perhaps due to a number
of causes" Mr.. Talbert says,
Prominent among these is'the
small size and insignificant APP
pearance of many injurious in
sects. If the pests were as
large as hogs, sheep, colts or
calves no doubt their habits,
life histories and control would
be understood by every farmer.
The damages and ravages of in
sects are often attributed to
floods, storms, droughts, lack of
soil fertility and the like. In,
fact, the general public knows
less about insects than any other
branch of agriculture.

First Lake Steamships.

The first steamboats, on the Great
lakes were launched a century ago,
in 1915, on Lake Ontario. The craft
operated by steam we're constructed in
that year on the shores of Lake On
tario-the Ontario, built at Sackett's
Harbor, N. Y, and the Frontenac, which
was launched at Ernesttown, Canada.
The Frontenac was one Of the finest
steamboats, afloat at that period. 1t
cost $4,000 and was 700 tons burden,
its length of deck being 10 feet. The
Frontenac was placed in operation in
1917, making three round trips each
month from Kingston to York and Nj
agara. Capt. James Mckenzie, who
had had experience in the British navy,
was placed in command. The Fronte-
a was in service on Lake Ontario for
ten years, and soon had several rivals
for the lake trade. A fare of $15 was
charged from Kingston to Niagara for
iirst-class passengers, but deck passen-
gers were carried for $3.75 u head. The
freight rate was four shillings per bar
rel bulk" The first steamboat on
Lake Erie was the Walk-in-the-Water
which was launched at Black Rock,
nea Buffalo, in 1878.
