Nature of FATIGUE.

Fatigue is the presence in the blood
Of poisonous by-products of life COM
bustion. While we are awake the pol
sons accumulate faster than the sys-
tenn can remove them. When we are
asleep, when the life combustion is
slowed down, the system removes them
faster than they accumulate. It is
as though ashes accumulate in a stove
at such a rate that the fire had to be
put out every so often to allow a
chance to remove them.

NOTES FOR FARMERS
Eciwor,ns in wheat.

To prevent the spread OF serious
wheat disease that recently has done
much damage in certain parts Of the
United States, especially Virginia, the
United States department Of agricul-
ture advises farmers in Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and California to
maintain careful watch for elworm
gals In their grain. and to make all
possible efforts to stamp out the
disease
The disease may be recognized in
the threshed grain by the presence
OF hard, dark-colored gals about one
half the size of wheat kernel. These
gals contain the very small eelworms.
IT Is best to get seed from uninfested
fields. Where this cannot be done, a
saltwater method Is recommended
for removing the eelworm gals from
the sound grain to be sown.
Samples Of wheat or grain thought
to be affected with this disease should
be sent for positive Identification to
the state agricultural experiment
station or to the office Of cereal in
vestigatfons. United States depart
ment OF agriculture. Washington.
