MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS
Foolish Habit ct Leaning on Others 10
One That Should BE Sternly
Repressed.

Most people who have succeeded III
any direction Of activity can trace the
measure of their success to the habit
of deciding things for themselves. one
of the greatest temptations we have
is to confide in othersA BY yielding to
ii we not only become nuisance to
our friends but keep on lowering our
own powers of resistance. It's worse
than useless to ask the advice of 9TH
ers, because they are rarely so much
interested in our troubles as we think
they are, or would like them to be. Ii
they were, they would have to know as
much about our troubles as we do, TO
pass Judgment, and this we can not
tell them even If we would.
Sometimes indeed we may know too
much about our own troubles, or IN
such a way that the continuous
thought of them puts them in the
wrong perspective; but this situation
Is only made worse by adding the
confusion of another's mind to ours.
BY deciding everything for yourself
you make mistakes but every mistake
Is valuable future asset. 1t is the
only way you can learn how. Learning
how is very necessary. Unless you are
willing to do this and stand upon your
own ground, your permanent success
will be doubly difficult.-Pictorial Re

The Vedda of ceyIon.

Students have long been interested
In the Australian aborigine, the Afri.
can bushman, and the Ceylonese
Vedda. The Veddas are recorded as
far back as 543 B. c., and their Gus.
toms and beliefs are thought to have
changed but little since the stone age.
But the veddas, on report of traveller
lately returned from the wilds of Cey-
lon, are reaching the end of this
peculiar interest. For now "hardly
a vedda faithful to the traditions OF
his ancestry survives: not one, per.
haps, that wears leaves for clothing
and depends for subsistence solely on
the products Of the jungle" The bow
and arrow are still sometimes used,
but have been largely supplanted by
old-fashioned muzzle-loading guns,
and the skillful archery. for which the
Veddas were notable has become q
lost art. In this Ceylon jungle few
typical Veddas are left, but these are
isolated specimens. In any circum.
stances it has been held, that the
Veddas are incapable Of civilization.
But then that depends, of course, on
what Is meant by civilization.

Under average conditions a crew OF

Cnder average conditions a crew OF
one man and two horses working con-
tinuously will lift approximately 1k
acres of beets a day. A crew Of one
man and four horses will probably In
crease this area to two acres, or pos
sibly 21s acres day under favorable
conditions. The performance of the
lifting implement can be improved still
further with the addition of more
horse power. If, by using an extra
horse on the litter, this work can be
performed in a shorter period, more
time will be available for hauling the
beets to the factory or loading station.
Harvesters Mean Further Economy!
An appreciate saving in farm labor
will undoubtedly be accomplished
through the development of mechanic
oil harvesters. The hand labor on
sugar beets, comprising such opera
lions as blocking, thinning, hoeingj
pulling, topping and loading, consti-
tutes from 50 to rs per cent of the to-
tai man labor required in growing the
crop. The pulling, topping and load
ing, when combined. make up "a to ~
per cent of the work. Estimates made
by several growers show variation
Of "a to 80 hours in the labor require
ment for the hand work in harvesting.
1t is very apparent, says the bulletin,
that this amount can be reduced to q
few hours an acre with the introduce
ton of the mechanical harvester.

At ,ANURICs"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY in CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator OF uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric 1"
acts. The best of results arc always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the Joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
SO frequently and persistently accom-.
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package OF
"Anuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
yample. If you suspect kidney or blad-.
der trouble, send him sample of your.
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE - French scientists affirm that
5Anuric' is thirty seven times more
active than ithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extreme cases as vAnuric"
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

KITCHEN SHOULD BE CHEEKY
Workshop of the Home in Which Ma.
jority OF Housewives Spend
Most Of Their Time,

The average woman does not think
Of her home as mirror, but that is
exactly the relation to herself In which
it stands.
OF course, it is but natural that
milady spends goodly portion OF her
energy upon her living and dining
rooms.
Yet the kitchen, as the workshop of
the house, Is the room in which many
housekeepers spend most of their walk
ing hours, and therefore 1t should be
the lightest, ARREST and most cheerful
one in the home. But how often 1t Is
not!
Harmony Of color plays an impor-
tant role in making interiors attfac-
tive, and one pretty combination for
the kitchen is to have the walls tinted
light green and the floor finished In
darker shade of the same color.

eALEN,s FAITH in NosTsuM
Early Father OF Medicine Claimed
Wonderful Virtues for Compound
Known as Mithradatium.

Mithradatium was the name of the
great antidote of Roman pharmacy. 1t
had from 40 to 30 vegetable fngredi-
ents, few of which had any real medic
inal value except opium, and these
drugs were blended with honey.
1t remained for Nero's physician, An.
dromachus, to put the finishing touches
to this wonderful compound. andre
machus added yiper's flesh to the for
mula and called his new compound
theriaca. He wrote some verses ded-
icated to Nero, describing this medi-
cine and claiming virtues for it which
In our day would subject him to pros
ecution under the antitrust act. Evil
IDENTIFY he believed he had created in
this one compound a yeritable pharma-
ceutical monopoly.
Galen, ..one of the fathers Of medi-
cine,-went even further. He recon-
mended it as a cure for oil poisons,
bites, headaches, vertigo, deafness, ep-
ilepsy, apoplexy, dimness of sight, loss
Of voice, asthma, coughs, splitting OF
blood, tfghtness of breath, collie, the
lilac passion (appendicitis), jaundice,
hardening of the spleen, stone, fevers,
dropsy, leprosy, melancholy, all pes
tilences. etc. Nowadays he would
probably have included coupon thumb,
golf shoulder and movie eye.
AS Galen's writing dominated med
ical thought for ever 1900 years, 1t is
not surprising that this advertise
ment made Mithradatium, or Their
lea, valued remedy. Every physi-
clan of note for centuries afterward
claimed some Improvement on the orig
inal formula.

Save LABOR IN
GROWING BEETS
Use of More Horses and Larger
! Implements Reduces Work
of Farm LaborerS.
COMPARISON OF PlOW CREWS
Approximately One Hour an Acre
Less of Man Labor Is Necessary
to Operate PIow Drawn by
Three Horses Than by Two.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many farmers are solving the labor
problem by using larger implements
and more horses. Such practices have
enabled sugar-beet growers greatly to
reduce their expenses for man labor
and increase their operations. The
normal man labor required in growing
sugar beets will vary from 50 to 80
hours or more an acre.
Under average conditions, where
more horses and larger implements
are used, the man labor on machine
operations will be reduced approx
mately 25 per cent.
A direct comparison of blowing
crews in Michigan and Ohio, where
conditions under which the work is
done are uniform, shows that approx
mately one hour an acre less of man
labor is necessary to operate ploW
drawn by three horses than by two.
With the larger outfit, as also when a
tractor is used, i float or plank can
be attached to the ploW, and thus the
breaking of a cloddy surface can be
done with little additional effort or
cost. In disking in the Michigan and
Ohio districts it was found that a
four-horse outfit saves One-quarter OF
an hour of man labor an hour over
the two-horse equipment.
Saving in Sugar Reets.
Cultivation of sugar beets furnishes
striking contrast in crew efficiency.
In Michigan and Ohio it was found
that 10 man-hours an acre were re-
CURED to cultivate once over with q
one-row implement, 1.6 man-hours
with a two-row cultivator, and only .
of a man-hour for a four-row cultiVa-
tor-a distinct saving in man labor by
using the four-row machine. AS many
fields require attention before it is
possible for the grower to get the
work accomplished, any saving of la
Dor and time is an advantage to the
growing crops and affords more man
labor for crops competing with the
sugar beet in the distribution of labor.
