DELvE INTO FIREFLr's LIGHT
Scientists In a Fair Way to Solve Mys-
terry Attaching to the "Fairy
Lamplighter."

Just what the secret Of the fire
hy's light is the scientists have not
as yet discovered. Three necessary
factors have been found-water,
oxygen and a photogenic or light
producing substance but a fourth is
probably involved which has thus
far defed all research. The chill
dren say it is the fairy lamplighter
whose wand lights the little lamps
hat add so much to the beauty of a
summers night. However, a method
has been evolved of extracting and
drying the light-producing organs
of the FREELY without impairing the
power of the substance to phosphor-
esce.
The dried material may be ex-
tracted with water-free solvents. 1t
is ground up into a powder, and wa
ter containing oxygen is added,
which gives the golden glow without
the assistance of either the frefys
will Of the fairy's wand.

SUGAR TO AID TUBERCULOSIS
Results Of Experiments Made by ltai.
ian Physician Said to Be Of the
Highest Importance.

The tuberculosis cure upon which
Professor Monaco of Rome has been
working depends upon the novel
plan Of creating an impossible en-
yironment for the tubercle bacillus.
instead Of destroying the organism
directly. The studies began more
than a decade ago, when small hypo-
dermic injections of sugar solution
increased the secretion Of milk in
goats, but large injections dimin-
ished the secretion, the composition
of the milk being unaffected. Since
then it has been shown that sugar
has a like influence on such secre-
tons as saliva, bile, gastric juice
and p%ancreatic juice. An explana-
ton being sought, a marked expan-
sion or contraction of the blood yes
sells has been found to correspond
with small or large amounts Of sugar
injected, and action in stopping
hemorrhages and on the gland sys-
tenn has been shown. The expert
ments suggested that sugar might
affect the bronchial secretions Of tu-
berculOsis. In the early tests on
tnberculous soldiers, marked i'm
proyement has followed, and cough,
night sweats and fever have ceased.
1t is assumed that stopping the
bronchial secretion by the sugar in
iections has taken away the medium
essential to the life Of the bacillus,
thus eliminating the cause of dis
ease.

On occasion the organizers OF War

Of these experiences, and his report
to Moorhead Wrigh STATE director at
Little Rock, was replete with a happy
relation of the facts.
Stark was evidently unaware that

were deserted, many Of the stores were
closed, and inquiry revealed the rea.

Stark followed The throngs and was
just in time to reach the place of as.
sembly before the huge Joints Of juicy
beef, lambs and fowls had been re-
moved from splits placed above
trenches dug deep in the ground,
where a bed OF glowing embers was
even yet adding a coat OF brown to
the meats, and was freeing savory
doors that coniured up visions OF the
feasts enjoyed by Robin Hood and his
forest royers in the heart Of Sher-
wood Forests in Merrie England.
And whom the feast was spread the
yiands were attacked with a gusto
and ample justice was done.
Then the boys told about their ven
ture in pigs. and the handiwork Of the
girls in the art OF food preservation
was dwelt on in words, and their
wares sampled.
But this was not all. Thrift had a
place on the program. J. C. Cham.
bers told Of the value Of the cam
paign Of thrift planned by the United
States Treasury Department, and how.
what the boys and girls had accom-
plished vas the ~outgrowth of that
campaign.
He explained the value OF the War
Savings Societies that we're springing
up all over the country, and told the
boys and girls that all they had ac.
complished would count for naught
did they not practice real saving. He
told OF the advantages OF Thrift
Stamps, which he said would pave the
way for prosperity when those who
were boys and girls now had reached
manhood andewomanhood. Chambers
said there should be at least 95 such
societies in Yen County.

Tomato Spraying PAYS.

Leaf blight diseases which at
tack tomato plants cause a great
deal of loss each season by de-
foliating the plants and causing
their premature death. A. l..
Haley of the East Dale Can
ming Co., Seymore, Mo, spray
ed his forty acre field of toma-
toes last year at the suggestion
of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture While spraying was
started late to be fully effective,
Mr.. HALEY estimates that the
crop was increased at least one
ton per acre by spraying. Toma-
toes were worth SIS per ton,
the spraying cost less than SIS
per acre, even though labor was
scarce and expensive. The leaf
blight is very prevalent this
year, and may do serious dam
age if not checked. The materi-
al recommended for spraying to-
matoes is Bordeaux mixture
made up Of four POUNDS Of cop
per sulphate, four pounds Of
lime, and fifty gallons of water,
the materials being dissolved
separately and then poured To-
gcther. If fruit worms are
troublesome one and one-half
pounds Of arsenate of lead pow
der may added for each fifty gal
Ions of spray. A small compress
ed or knapsack sprayer is most
convenient for spraying Gener-
ally the earlier spraying is
started, the more effective it is
in keeping the plants green and
healthy. Eggplant blight and
fruit rot are controlled by spray
ing in the same way. Celery
blight, melon blight and mildew
are also checked very well by
spraying with Bordeaux.
