WEDDING RINGS.
Their Descent From the Ancient Sig.
net Rings Of Egypt.

Their Descent From the Ancient Sig.
net Rings Of Egypt.
It was under the shadow Of the pyra-
mids that brides first wore rings as
symbols Of wedlock.
In the early Egyptian home 1t was
the custom of the wife to keep all of
her Jars, closets and stOrerooms sealed.
A different seal ordinarily was used
for every door or jars containing GER
tain foods. Preserved sweets, for in
stance, would be sealed with one de-
vice and some sharp appetizer with
another. So the course of time brought
the Egyptian woman goodly number
of seals, the special mark Of her wife
hood.
Then 1t became q custom for the
bridegroom on his wedding day to
present the future homemaker with
little string of seals. In the beginning
they usually were suspended from an
ornamental chain about her neck, but
afterward 1t became the custom to car
nv the keys on an ornamental cord
around the wrist. And finally the keys
were attached to a woman's finger by
means Of q cord or gold wire. This
naturally meant reduction In the num-
Der of seals, and some genius OF the
days of old hit upon the idea of COM
bining the seal and the wire together,
from which We get the signet ring
Such ring was regularly presented to
the bride on her wedding day.
Things had reached this state of
progress when keys seem to have been
first used in Egypt to any great extent.
The coming of locks did away with the
wifely seals and her peculiar mark Of
sovereignty in the home. By degrees
the signet ring went out OF fashion as
the special prerogative Of the bride
and was succeeded by a plain band
ring such as every young lady Of today
expects to wear. Numbers Of these
plain and signet rings have been found
In the old tombs of northern Africa.

Warfare In the Air.

A high powered airplane engine of
the best type-say 100 to $50 horse
power-cannot be purchased for much
less than $4,000. And the whole air
plane, big one. may readily cost $780,
600 to $4,000.
A fast modern airplane has an aver
age life Of only about two or three hun
dred hours of active service-say two
months at the outside. This means
that to keep 10000 airplanes on bat
tie line you have to be able to build
5000 per month or more. The cost
would be almost unthinkable. That is
why warfare in the air for any length
Of time would bankrupt the world. And
that in turn is why warfare in the air
means the end Of all warfare.-Co Golfers.

SHOULD SELECT
SEED WHEAT NOW
1t May be Difficult to Get Good
Winter Varieties for Seed
ing This Fall g."

The wheat program mapped out by
the federal government for Washing
ton includes the planting Of $4,000
acres of winter wheat. The yield Of
next years crop will not depend alone
upon the acreage planted but also up
on other factors including the char
acter of seed used. Within the next
two months practically everything the
grower can do to influence the crop
will have been done. Therefore, E. G.
Schafer, professor Of farm crops, os
the Washington Experiment station,
urges that no time be wasted in Oh
tanning and preparing seed wheat and
attending to other preparations for
planting.
Winter Seed Wheat Scarce
The unfavorable conditions for fall
planting during the past two years,
together with winter killing last year.
has nearly eliminated winter wheat
in some districts Of the state. In such
places seed of winter wheat will have
to be brought in from the outside.
Seeding of winter wheat is dcpcn-
dent upon two factors wea-
ther and availability of good seec.
If there is insufficient rain at a sea-
sonable time to insure proper germin-
alton many growers will defer seed
ing until spring and use spring va
riety. However, unless they obtain
winter seed wheat and make prepara-
lions for fall planting they will not be
able to fall plant even tho weather
conditions are favorable. The grower
should not lose sight Of the fact that
winter wheat is generally superior to
spring wheat when grown under IA
vorable conditions.
A seed committee has recently been
named for Washington and is already
supplying information concerning the
winter seed. Inquiries concerning this
question should be addressed to the
secretary of the seed committee, Pull
man, Washington. The information is
obtained largely from grain companies
as thru their local warchousemen and

When children grit their teeth. either

adenoid growths back Of their noses

DIR. G. E.. Benjamins tells in journal
of Amsterdam Of his experience with
1,544 cases of adenoids, in which about
81 per cent of the children were teeth

gritting ceased when the adenoids
were removed. Among lis teeth grit
tiers he examined for troubles other
than adenoids all but two were found
to have adenOidS.

Use Standard Varieties
The grower should not look up soma
new variety, but stick to the ones that
have been successful in the past. And
among the wheats which have dono
well in the dryer portions of the STATE
are Turkey Red, Jones Winter Fvfo
and the White Hybrids. Turkey Rcd

riety for growing in the dryer dis
tricts of the state, but the fact that n
skaters easily results in loss at hcr-
vest time. Many growers prefer be
Turkey Red over Jones Fyfe. or the
White Hybrids, Hybrid 12s has been
most uniformly favored. This varie-
ty stands up well and does not shstter
easily. 1t is an excellent variety es-
pecially for the better types Of soil IN
the districts Of medium rainfall.
Do Not Use Spring Wheat
Because Of the difficulty in obtain
ing winter seed wheat there may be
some temptation to seed spring va.
rieties this fall. Some spring wheats
are more hardy than others and if the
winter is mild they may make a sue
cessful crop. However, in the more
severe winters, even the hardy winter
varieties kill badly. Seeding spring
wheat in the fall should be considered
extremely hazardous and avoided un-
der any consideration. Inquiries have
been made concerning the fall seeding
of Early Baart, and every grower
should understand that by SO doing he
would be inviting failure.
Only sound kernels can be expected
to produce vigorous plants. The small,
shriveled and broken kernels should
be removed with a grain grader or
tanning mill. The shriveled and brok-
en- kernels are worse than useless when
used as seed, yet have very definite
feed value.
The acreage Of winter wheat in
Washington should be as large as the
growers can safely make it. The yield
should be insured by planting good
seed of suitable variety and follow
ing the best known seeding practices.

Many Psychologists have estimated
the quantity Of albumen necessary to
our systems and have given widely
differing figures. but today it is gen.
orally held that one grain per day per
kilogram Of body weight is ample
that is to say, that man weighing
100 pounds actually needs only be-
tween five and six ounces Of albumen
a day. Children and growing youths
need more. Meat, however, is not the
only food that is rich in albumen. A
quarter Of Brie cheese, for instance,
contains as much albumen as half a
pound of beefsteak. Lentils, peas and
beans are from 20 to 25 per cent albu-
men, which means that these vegeta-
bles are worth actually more than
steak and cost far less.
According to Dr.. Claude, our daily
needs In the way Of albumen can be
satisfied by any one Of the following:

Not long ago Field Marshall Hin

didn't have more fats something
would happen to Germany.
Fats supply energy Some fats are
also necessary for growth and repair.
All fats are important in the upkeep
of the body. Hindenburg knew that
if the German people did not get
more fats they would be too weak to
fight or work.
The fats we waste would almost
supply Germany. Avoid waste and
save them for ourselves and our al
