-Av0RITE sToGIE is DOOMED
Long, Slim Smoke, Popular With Many
Men, Soon VIII Be No More, Ac-
cordlng to Tobacco Dealer.

A Cleveland tobacco dealer is au-
thority for the statement that stogies
soon will be no more. The war hns
knocked the stuf1ing out of them, or
rather, ii has taken the stogles stuff
ing away to fill cigars of more aristo-
cratic shape. Profit is all but gone.
Prices climb, but so also do the Objec-
lions increase against paying the high
.r rate. Taken altogether. the chances
for the stogie are as slim as itself.
says the Toledo Blade.
AS virtually all C0bans can roll
cigars SO was II once possible for
many Americans besides professional
cigurnakers to manufacture their
own smokes. Hospitable folk of the
rural districts thought II the fine thing
to offer their guests cigars which had
heen made In the house. The stogie
was the last of its kind which could
he said to have an unprofessional ori-
gin, many thousands being rolled by
women at their homes In periods of the
day when household duties we're light.
If now the stogie is to disappear,
,igasmaking in this country will cease
to have even the slightest of the anna
teur touch.
This vanishing is to be regretted,
not simply because the stogie was a
cheap smoke, but also because 1t was
picturesque. 1t fitted certain type
IF American face. 1t went with long
chins, long legs, bodies without super
iuous flesh. The man whose pockets
were stuffed with stogies seemed to
be armed against lonesomeness and
the power of anyone to turn him
down." Smokers of timid spirit never
affected stogies.

CURE FOR LITTLE AILMENTS
Real Trouble Can Usually Be Depend
ed on TO Make One Forget
the Smaller Ones.

Man and animals alike, it's wonder
full what a shock will do to heal our
errors and our weaknesses. The only
thing that ever stopped Uncle Bill in
an argument was a dishpan, or some
heavy, blunt instrument clouted over
his brow, and In his younger days he
was some argufer, as his scars attest.
Here is the case of the blind man In
San Rafael, CAL, who fell 40 feet off
the roof of his house. and found his
eyesight restored; Aunt Ellen, who
was bedridden for years, was the first
person to reach safety when the house
caught fire, and her bad hip has been
practically all right ever since; you
remember that crippled negro who
beat even the dogs home when the bear
charged out of the brush.
A lot of us have troubles that are
only In our minds; when we are fed a
little real trouble we forget the smaller
ones. There is, perhaps, an opening
for a sanitarium that will take Grip
pie or an invalid and throw him of
cliff. or crack him over the head with
brick or crowbar-anything to wake
him up. make him forget his small
worries. and heal his diseased mind.

KEEPS VITAL POINTS SAFE
Medical Explanation of Work Per-
formed by Fluid Which Battles
Brain and Spinal Cord.

Until very recently the exact role
played by the cerebro-spinal fluid
that watery substance which bathes
the brain and spinal cord-was not
understood. But nowadays it is
common practice among surgeons to
squirt drugs into the tissues contain
ing this fluid or to draw out drop or
two of it for examination.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association, commenting on an adj
dress by DR.. w. D. Halliburton be-
fore the Royal Society of Medicine,
says he describes the cerebro-spinal
fluid as an ideal physiologic solution
in which the exqu1sltely sensitive nerv-
Gus system is always bathed.
This fluid does not, like the lymph,
arise from the blood by emulation of
serum through the walls of the capil-
laries, but is the product of the Sc
creting cells of what are called the
choroid plexuses in the ventricles of
the brain. The pressure under which
the fluid always exists is due to the
secretory pressure of these cells and
not to the blood. And there are
scarcely any proteins found in it.
Halliburton says that in order to keep
out the harmful proteins, which would
poison the nerves, the harmless ones
also are almost completely excluded.
The membranes that line the spaces
in which the fluid is found seem to
permit substances to pass from 1t to
the blood, but to be impermeable lex
cept for oxygen) in the direction from
the blood to the fluid. The value of
this arrangement is that when poi
sons enter the blood, as they do so
easily, they are kept away from the
delicate nerves.

CURRANTS AND GO0SEBERRIES
Necessary to Train Both Plants in
Bush Form to Avoid Borers of
Root and Stalk.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If ease of cultivation were the only
consideration in pruning currants and
gooseberries, the tree form would GER
tainly be most convenient and econo-
mical. Unfortunately the grower has
no choice in this matter, for in order
to insure his plants against the ravages
of borers of the root and stalk it is
necessary to train both these plants
In q bush form. When managed in this
way new wood can annually be induced
to spring up from the root to replace
any canes which may be destroyed by
borers or which may for any other
cause become useless to the plant. The
new growth should be stopped when it
reaches a convenient height, in order
to induce the formation of side
branches and thus increase the area
of bearing wood. This is much more
important than would at first appear,
because the fruit of these plants is
borne upon fruiting spurs which de-
velop from wood two or more years of
age. On the other hand, the renewal
Of the bush is not only necessary in
order to maintain it against insect
pests, but to insure supply of fruit
bearing wood to take the place of the
old wood which has become unproiit-
able to maintain.
In general currant bush should be
composed of from five to eight stalks,
stopped about Is to 20 inches in height
If the plants are vigorous, shoots
stopped at this height will produce sew
eral lateral branches, thus forming
compact, broad-headed bush with a
maximum expanse of bearing wood.
The gooseberry should be treated in
like fashion, but will be found to re-
quire less heading-back, because its
normal habit is to produce numerous
side shoots rather than strong, upright
ones.
