SAVED NEEDED SUGAR CROPS
How Lizards, Frogs and Toads Came
to the Rescue Of the Threzt
ened Cane.

Lizards and toads by the thousands
are being sought and employed in the
production of sugar cane in the West
Indian islands, says writer In Our
Dumb Animals. They have proved
to be the best means for combating
the froghoppers which have long in
tested the cane fields and greatly cur
tailed the sugar crops
A few years ago so great had be-
come the damage to the cane by the
hoppers that entomologists and my
cologists were called upon to study
the situation and devise methods to
prevent the destruction which had
caused the loss of thousands of dol
lars annually to the sugar growers.
A remedy was quickly discovered. In
the districts badly infested by the frog
hoppers there was an almost total abb
seace Of lizards, frogs and toads. To
introduce these creatures and to en-
courage their increase was obviously
necessary to save the sugar crops.
Lizards were obtained from other
parts and liberated in the cane fields
with the result that the froghOppers
have almost entirely disappeared, the
canes are flourishing and the sugar
yield has largely increased In quantity
and improved in quality.

How War Affected Trade.

Investigation by trade experts show
that the sales Of jewelry. diamonds,
watches. pianos and Photographs in
creased during the war. Corsets and
millinery showed considerable falling
off, while the sales of shoes is account
ed for by the withdrawal of several
million men for army service. The de-
crease in the sales Of corsets and mil
linery is attributed to a greater sim
plicity and economy in women's attire
The increase in the sales Of jewelry.
pianos, ETC., is laid at the door Of the
prosperity the war brought working

crease in such sales was particularly

ploy Of the government who have made
more money than ever before.

PAPER SHORTAGE
TO BE ELIMINATED

In view of the present paper short
age, l regard it as entirely possible
that soon every large city will have
its own paper recovering plant. In
that way more than half the wood
pulp used every day may be saved"
This was the assertion of DR.. Oliver
Kamm, Of the department of organic
chemistry at the University of Hi
nois, who until recently had charge
of the research work conducted at
the 26 mills of the American Writing
Paper Co.
"The shortage has been and is still
an item of great concern to newspa-
per men all over the country, and as
a result numerous attempts have
been made to find new processes for
the manufacture of paper" he con-
tinued.
"Straw, grass and even dry leaves
have been used with some success,
but the processes necessary to make
disable paper from these materials
have proved more expensive than
wood pulp. Looking into the future,
we have concluded that probably in
80 years when our forests are some
what completed, straw, cornstalks,
leaves and various other substitutes
for wood pulp which are continually
being brought up and found to be
inferior, may be used In the max

tins of this disease to practice the
simple laws of sanitation in their

"In Louisville alone there are
about three thousand cases Of tu-
berlosis and last year there were five
hundred deaths from the disease. We
are trying to step the ravages of the
white plague in Kentucky and with
the help of the generous citizens Of
the State this end ultimately will be
achieved.
Kentucky has never failed to re-
spond to the calls for help through
the Red Cross Christmas seals. We
have no thought it will do so this
year, but rather that it will give
generously the willing gift of gen
erous and prosperous people to aid

''The most important process now
used for reducing the price of paper
is the re-inking and restoring the
paper that has already been used.
This has been found profitable for
book paper and other higher grades,
but it does not pay so well for use
on newsprint, because the materials
that go into that paper are cheaper
than the cost Of re-inking."

Cup to 1912 tuberculosis caused
more deaths than any other disease,
but after that time, because of the
work done by organizations formed
to teach sanitation and prevention,
and the use of modern methods of
fighting the plague and its spread it
dropped 10 third place in the list
Of fatal diseases. But heart disease
and pneumonia, the leaders in the
list, lead tuberculosis by only eight
tenths and fve-tenths Of one per

"There are about twenty-nine
