CHANG ON'' FOR MANY YEARS
Scientists Know That JeIIyfish Live
Long, but "What Do They
Get Out of III"

In recent lecture to children at
the Royal institution, London, Prof
Darcy w. Thompson told of jelly
fish known as Granny that was res
cued by Sir John Graham Dalyelt and
kept alive in sea water. Granny, ac-
cording to Prof. Thompson, was care
fully tended by Sir John and fed reg
ularly one-half mussel fortnight.
She throve exceedingly under this kind
attention. Six hundred of her offspring
were known. On the death of Sir John
she passed to the care of an arctic
explorer and was beQueathed by him
to another scientific man. Granny out
lived four protectors and died at last,
Oct. IL, 1887, at the authentic age OF
81 years, because of the neglect or
ill-treatment of botanist.
Prof. Thompson did not say so, but
he left 1t no be assumed that had the
neglectful botanist been as careful and
attentive as was Sir John Dalyell
Granny might yet be alive, says the
New York Tribune, in which case she
woC-d be no less than 90 years old,
and assuming that she was at least
two when Sir John found her, which
seems probable, she would be well
past the century mark.

GOOD SCALY LEG TREATMENT
Dip Affected Parts in Crude Oil or
Kerosene-One Submersion Is
Usually Sufficient.

Scaly leg is caused by small mite
which burrows underneath the scales
Of the legs, where it feeds and lays
its minute eggs The legs become so
sore at times that fowls are unable to
scratch for food or set on the roost.
The treatment consists Of dipping
the legs in crude Oil. If not conven-
lent pure kerosene may be used. Dip
early enough so 1aat the Oil will dry
before the fowls go on the roost, and
be careful that the oil does not get
on the feathers. One treatment Is
usually sufficient, but if the old scales
have not peeled off after 80 days it
should be repeated.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
f the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other Or
CANS to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

LIVE IN PRACTICAL SLAVERY
Esthonlans Little Better Than Serfs
to the Germans, Who Own Nine
Tenths Of Land.

Esthonians, or Esths, who have re-
pulsed repeated attacks from the Boil
sheviki, and recently drove force I'M
der Trctzky to ignominious flight, are
described by DIR. Edwin A. Grosvenor
In National Geographic society bull
letin as follows:
The Esths are Ffnno-Ugrian
people, once savage and adventurous,
terrifying the Baltic with their piracy,
constantly attacking and attacked by
the Danes and Swedes. Their final
subsection by the Brothers of the
Sword and their enforced acceptance
of Christianity crushed their spirit
and rendered them serfs to the Ger
man masters.
The Esths outnumber the Germans
In the old province of Esthonia 20 to
I; yet nine-tenths Of all the land is
held by Germans.
In the former province Of Livonia
the Esths constitute nearly half the
population. while the Germans are
less than one-fifteenth. There the land
is divided into estates averaging over
ten thousand acres in extent, none
owned by an Esth or Lett but almost
invariably by German.
The Russian government at times
endeavored by agrarian laws to allie
viate the condition of. the peasant.
Such efforts failed against the stolid
resistance of the great proprietors.
The Esths have chung devotedly to
their national language. the sole In
heritance from their past. They love
poetry and song. Their physical. char
acteristics are Finnic; their faces
short, broad, beardless; their fore
heads low, mouths small, arms long.
legs short. Despite their extreme pow
erty education Is relatively advanced.
All but 4 per cent are Lutheran Prot
estants.
Since the sudden universal awaken
ing in 1918 the Esths have been insis-
tent upon national recognition. But
ownership in the land is their greatest
need.
