spring up rs ragged as the weeds in
a brick walk, then your friends nudge
each other and grin broadly when they
meet you, muses. a writer in Toledo

with sorrowful eyes and crlnges when
you jauntily caress the segments of
down and remark that you certainly
are breaking all records for quick ac-
cumulation of foliage.
You become the butt of constant kid
ding. You furnish large punches of
enjoyment for your friends. The ia
vorite form of witticlsm INDUCED in by
your friends is along these lines:
"Why the disguise? SO you're raising
alfalfa now? OF course you. want to
hide that face Of yours!''
After about three or four weeks Of
this sort of life you determine to re.
move the hirsute adornment. But you
find this doesn't stop the kidding. As
a matter of fact it flares up more
strongly than ever. "Ah, ha," say your
friends. 80 you cut of your mustache

Our Ancient Ancestors
DWeIt in Icy Period Is
Proven by a Discovery

One often hears of "the glacial
period" or "the ice age" Of the earth,
but, strictly speaking, this expression
is not correct, AYERS a writer. 1t Is
now established beyond all reasonable
doubt that this planet has experienced
not one but a great many glacial
periods. Evidence has been found
which proves that the latest or PleiS-
tocene glacial epoch has several I'M
.portant subdivisions and that all OF
the present continents have experi-
enced glacial epochs at different ages.
Great ice sheets were formed at dif-
ferent periods back to the Proterozoic
age; that is the age Of the Oldest
known sedimentary rocks, a great
many million years ago. IL
One of the most recent discover
les of the old glacial deposits was
made by Professor w. w. Atwood OF
the United States geological survey
near Ridgway, in southwestern Colo
RADIO. These deposits were found be-
meath tertiary lavas of the San Juan
mountains, and resting upon upper
Cretaceous beds. They have, 1t Is be-
lieved, been formed in early Eocene
times.

Eggs, Milk and Vegetables
Are Essential to Growth

Eggs, milk and the leafy vegetables,
according to FL. L. Kempster Of the
University Of Missouri college of agri-
culture, contain substances known as
vitamines, which are essential to
growth. They are called the protec-
tive foods because they correct the
faulty composition of seeds and tu-
bers. Young animals fed on wheat,
oats, barley, or other seeds fail to
grow. The ration is inadequate, even
If the feed includes beans, peas and
potatoes, and even IL moderate
amounts Of leafy vegetables are also
fed. Egg yolk contains about 50 per
cent fat. Like butterfat. it contains
growth-producing substances which
are absolutely essential. These
growth-producing substances are not
found in vegetable fats or oils In beef
or pork fats. Some protective foods
are necessary If the health is to be
maintained. Eggs should, therefore.
become one of the regular articles Of
diet. The price should be a minor
consideration. Eat an egg day. They
promote growth aud increase your
ability to Withstand disease.

Ignorance of English Is
Cause of Many Accidents
in the Mining Districts

That the inability to read and un-
de1stand English places the foreign
born insdanger of his life is the strik-,
ing fact brought out in recent state,
ment of mine fatalities by the bureau
Of mines, department Of interior. The
facts offer q strong argument Tor
Americanization."
The rate Of accidents among the
non-English speaking miners Is not
only greater In all the great mining
districts of the country but the IN
creased ratio is uniform in all dis"
tricts. The bureau Of mines consid-
ers that this demonstrates clearly that
the inability to read warning signs, to
comprehend fully the company's IN
structions and to understand their
foreman, places an unnecessary haz-
ard upon the foreign-born.
The figures given show the dlHer-
ence in the rate of serious accidents IN
the mines among the American-speaK-
ing and those from the countries or
continental Europe, almost entirely
non-English speaking.
In Pennsylvania anthracite mines
43 per cent of the employees are Eng
disappearing and this number is
charged with only 2S.8 per cent of the
fatalities, whereas the other 56 per
cent sustained II per cent Of the IA
talities. This is comparative ratio
Of $50 to 1888 against the non-English
speaking.
In Pennsylvania bituminous mines
the ratio is I'll to 1,123 and in West
Virginia district, 100 to 1924. In In.
diana the ratio is not so great.
Director, Manning of the bureau OF
mines concludes his report with this
impressive statement:
"Had the fatality and injury rate
for the English-speaking American
been maintained throughout the three
groups, there would have been a saw
ing of 716 fatalities and 900 very Sc
rious injuries, strong argument for
Americanization and education Of the
MINER"

Animals Display Great =
Intelligence When III or
r.: T., Hurt-Treat Themselves

Few people realize, notes writer In
the Christian Herald, how many ami
mails are constantly getting hurt and
sick. The wild animals. seldom get
sick from what they eat, but the do
nestle animals frequently do. Wild
animals get injured from fighting with
other animals of their kind or in fights
with animal enemies. In all cases,
animals have way of doctoring them
selves that is remarkable.
Animals suffering from fever eat
nothing, keep quiet, seek darkness
and airy places, drink much water
and sometimes plunge into the water
from time to time. When a dog has
lost its appetite it eats that species Of
grass known as "dog's grass" Cats
also eat grass, catnip, etc., when sick.
Sheep and cows In the same circum-
stances seek out certain wild plants. 49,
If an ants foot Is cut, other ants
will cover the wounded part with a
transparent fluid from their mouths.
If q chimpanzee is wounded 1t stops
the flow of blood by placing its hand
on the wound or dressing it with
leaves and grass.
A terrier had an injured eye. It re-
mained lying under counter, avoid
ing heat and light, although it bad
been its habit to keep close to the fire.
It adopted the general treatment
rest and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted in licking
the upper surface of It's paw, which it
then applied to the wounded eye,
again licking the paw when it became
dry. Cats, when hurt, also treat
themselves by this simple method.
The methods adopted by most of the
wild animals for doctOring them
selves are unknown to man, but there
is no doubt that every animal has the
ability to skilfully doctor itself.
