The Pythagorians of Ancient
Greece ate simple food, practiced
temperance and purity. AS a
badge they used the five pointed
star, which they regarded as a
symbol of health. A red five
pointed star appears on each
package of Chamberlain's Tab
let's, and still fulfills its ancient
mission as a symbol of health. If
you are troubled with Indigestion,
blliousness or constipation, get a
package of these tablets from
your druggist. You will be sur
prised at the quick relief which
they afford. For sale by Robt.

For the week ending May 90,
f947.s
The weather was ideal, for
growth of vegetation and for
field work up to Sunday after
noon. when general rains set in
with much lower temperature.
There were, however. damaging
wind, hail and electrical storms
over the northeast and north CEN
trail districts on the night of the
18th, which did some damage to
crops and property. The tenn
perature was much higher, with
maxima up to or near 90 on two
or three days. Under such favor
able conditions all vegetation
made very rapid growth and field
work was rushed. About 20 to IS
per cent of greatly increased
corn acreage has been planted,
and the early planted corn is up
and shows a good stand. COnsid-
cradle blowing for corn is yet to
be done, especially on bottom
ground. Winter wheat is stooling
nicely and all small grain, grass,
potatoes and garden truck made
material improvement, and will
be still further. benefited by the
copious to heavy rains at the
close of the week although the
cool weather will check the rapid
growth. Apples, cherries, pMms
and Strawberries are still promis-
ing, but cane fruits and grapes
Will be short. An increased acre
age Of sugar beets is reported
from some of the north central
counties. GEO. NJ. Chapel.

CHANGE IN COLOR
Leaves Simply Complete
Function During Warm
Weather.

Washington, Oct. Soft requires no
vivid Imagination to picture Mother
Nature going about these days with
a liberal supply of paint with which
she colors the leaves Oh the trees and
other plants and thereby produces
the vivid tintS which characterize the
foliage, of this season. In reality the
change of coloring is the result of
certain chemical processes which
takes place in the leaves.
The change is not, as many people
suppose, due to the action of FROST
but is a preparation for winter. All
during the spring and summer the
leaves have served as factories, where
the foods necessary for the trees
growth have been manufactured. This
food making takes place in number
less tiny cells Of the leaf and is car
ried on by small green bodies which
give the leaf it's color These chloro-
phyf1 bodies, as they are known, make
the food of the tree by combining
carbon taken from the carbor1ic. acid
gas in the ali. with hydrogen, oxy-
gen, and various minerals supplied
by the water which the roots gather
In the fall when the cool weather
causes a slowing down Of the vital
processes, the work of the leaves
the leaf factory is dismantied, so to
speak, the chlorophyll is broken up
into the various substances of which
it is composed, and whatever food
there 4s on hand is sent to the body
of the tree to be stored up for use in
the spring All that remains in the
cell cavities of tho leaf is a watery
substance in which a few oil globules
and crystals, and snSll number of
yellow, strongly retroactive bodies can
be seen. These give the leaves the
yellow co1oring so familiar in autumn
nal foliage.
1t often happens, however that
there is more sugar in the leaf than
can be readily transferred back to the
tree When this is the case the chem
zeal combination with the other sub
stances produces many-colored tints
varying from the brilliant red of the
1ogwood to the more austere red

Today's Anniversaries

The Sons of Liberty, the radical
opponents Of the royal governors in
America, formed their organization
on Oct. 81, 1895, just 151 years aSo
today. The members were chiefly
ardent, rather reckless young men,
who loved excitement, and who had,
as a rule nothing to lose, no matter
what the issue. People Of property
and standing in the community
though many Of them favored the
principles OF the Sons of Liberty, kept
aloof from open association with the
SONS" for purely prudential reasons.
The organization spread rapidly over
the colonies, from New England to
Georgia, and the members b1eame
the most radical leaders in the quar-
rel with Great Britain and the events
leading up to the revolution When at
last the point of open rupture with
the mother country was reached,
many OF the Sons of Liberty became
distinguished as leaders in The council
and in the. field.

Der of attractions presented by each.
Each one Of US has his favorite stars

about the merits Of the winter con-
ste11ations. There are not few as
