SIMPLEST Remedies Found

Years ago Marseilles was visited by
a great plague. Rich and poor died
in their hundreds, and to rob the for

gar, which, used as disinfectant. en-
abled them to rifle the dead without
fear of infection. During the great
plague of 1865 those who were deputed
to bury the dead always carried a
phial of aromatic vinegar, and his
tory tells us that whenever Cardinal
Wolsey had cause to go among the
poorer members of his flock he inva-
r:ably held to his nose golden orange
filled with the same preventative.
Canary wine, too, was used in 1865

tie cassolettes on the top Of their
canes. which they shifted when visit

houses the smoke of juniper was used.

Sensation Of Taste Must
Be Aided by the Nose to
Identity What One Eats
rous a Scoop 10 Used for

The sensation of taste, while OF
common and constant experience, IS
highly complicated in it's nature. What
is commonly called taste is not a
simple sensation at all, but rather a
complex. In addition to the actual
functioning Of the apparatus properly
pertaining to the sense of taste, the
tongue receives Impressions Of vari'
GUS other sorts, all of which 60 to
make up this complex. AS finally re-
corded in the consciousness, the taste
of any substance has to do with it's
heat or GOODNESS, perhaps with a mild
amount of pain. certainly with as
tringency or acridity-which are in
themselves further completes Of Their
mic and tactile sensatiOns-and above
all with smell. The reader will prob
ably agree that ice cream and coffee
are entirely different from their true
selves when served at inappropriate
temperatures; and it is matter of
record that a person Of the keenest
taste may make the most MdicrOus
errors if asked, blindfolded and with
his nose stopped, to Identify sub
stances placed in his mouth.

Motor Fuel Adds Ten Miles
an Hour to Airplane Speed

Development too late for use in the
war of motor fuel which adds ten
miles an hour to the speed of nirplanes
and has possibilities for use in auto
mobile racing was announced by the
bureau of mines. The liquid, a cOmbi-
nation of benzol and cyclohexane,
so while of military value, it is not re-
garded as practical for commercial
purposes at present. Another combi-
nation developed by the bureau, con-
sisting of benzol and gasoline. has
been found to be more powerful than
gasoline alone and is expected to prove
of value in industry. The comparative
scarcity of benzol, however, makes its
production to supplant gasoline on a
large scale improbable in the imme-
date future.

Home Output of Peanut Oil
Is Now Only Second to That
Of LinSeed and C0tt0nSeed

The war has brought the peanut
into it's own. Before 1914 peanut oil
was almost unknown as an article OF
domestic manufacture and thousands
of gallons were imported every year
from countries that grew no peanuts,
although the South was producing mil

creasing that production almost in.
definitely. But in 1917 the output of
peanut oil had so increased that it
ranked third among all the vegetable
oils made from homegrown products,
being exceeded only by cottonseed oil
End linseed oil. Peanut oil, it is point
ed out by experts in aliment, serves
practically the same food purposes
as does cottonseed oil, and has the
advantage that it can be obtained
by cold pressing like olive oil, and
becomes thereby a superior table oil.
1t has the advantage over cottonseed
oil also in that the cake, after the
oil Is pressed out. forms a palatable
human food very high in protein.
A survey by the federal bureau of
markets shows the great gain in the
production and use of peanuts, not
only for oil but for peanut butter,

nuts or as a component part in con.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

The unsightly scaly legs and feet
of many farm hens are another point
Of attack for the poultryman who Is
looking for higher egg production from
his flock. The scales are caused by
very small mites which dig under the
skin on the hens shanks and toes and
push up the skin by the deposit OF
scurf which they leave underneath.
The scales finally become loose, fall
off, and are succeeded by more scales.
The disease makes the fowls legs I'M
comfortable and even sore, thus keep
ing the hen from scratching and get
ting the exercise necessary to good
health. When the hens health suffers.
egg production is lowered. Hens NJ
fected by the disease rarely lay many
eggs and they spend much time stand
Ing idle, with their sore legs kept
carefully still. They are likely to
lose weight and may even die.
Dipping the legs of the fowl in a
mixture of equal parts Of Kerosene
and linseed oil is the simplest and
most effective method Of curing the
disease, says ]. G. Halpin of the poul-
try department. Wisconsin College of
Agriculture. The application should
be repeated two or three times in
very severe cases. Early treatment
Cf the disease will keep it from spread

Railroad Men 0utrank the
Men of the Sea for Their
Various Odd Superstitions

The superstitions of railway men
are so numerous that even the sailor
who is generally credited with being
the most superstitious man in the
world, must needs take second place,
London Tit-Bits states.
In Russia. when, woman Is the
first to enter a train, bad luck Is sure
to come unless the next two persons
to enter the same compartment are
men.
Friday, the 18th day Of the month,
black cats, cross-eyes, mirror breaking
lightning, coach numbers and their
variations, and the weather are a few
Of the fantastic superstitions OF rail-
way workers.
Many drivers will not commence
journey without flower In the but
tonhole, usually white one, or a white
ribbon. Others wear peculiar button,
the insignia Of their fraternal orders,
and even a piece of red, string, often al
most invisible.
A left-handed fireman or driver IS
looked askance at by some railway men
and as lucky companion to others.
In some cases transfers to other runs
have been asked because such an indt-
vidual is given berth. while others
request to be given a place by left
handed or ambidextrous person.
AS for travellers, burning coffee after
breakfast is better than an accident
policy, while winding ones watch ON
the train means a safe journey. Put
ting a wisp of straw in ones trunk or
bag protects it from injury and In
sures safety.
If dust blows in ones eyes while IN
the train it means good health for
year; If it blows while going to the
train it is a sign of accident.
A general superstition among rail-
way men is that when one leaves his

The Monroe

The Monroe doctrine, as announced
by President Monroe in his message to

auent of tho attitude of this country
toward the South American republics.
Henry Clay had made an effort to
have the independence Of these repub'
lies recognized. and In 1922 their inde-

John Quincy Adams from the court OF
st. James to become his secretary OF

Eucalyptus Fastest Growing
of Any Of Hard Wood Trees

Hard, fine grained. durable wood
usually grows slowly. A most remark
able exception is the eucalyptus and
this gives the tree its great value In
reforestation. It is said that the euca'
lyptus grows five times as rapidly rs
any other tree. Seedlings have been
observed to make an average growth
of six inches a day, and one tree ut
tanned a height Of 125 feet and a d.
ameter Of SO inches in nine years.
The eucalyptus will not thrive where
there are frosts, but In the South 1t

hardwoods which have been greatly
reduced by demands for furniture and

Amusement Tax in Vogue
More Than $50 Years AGO
Declares London Writer

The entertainment tax Of the pres

ago by the inventive genius who pro-
posed that all places of public diver

masqucrades, Ranelagh, Vauxhall, Sad
ler's Wells and Astley's-the IA
nous resorts of the fair and fashion
able of his day-should be taxed, says
writer In London Tit-Bits. An
other proposal was that the very
statues in the garden-and the lakes
and the groves, the grOttoes and the
temples Of those days, were thick set
with statues of heather gods and
goddesses-should have a price put
on their heads. Time was when taxes
were put on the watches attached to
the seals that dangled from the fobs
Of the beaux or hung on the girdles
that encircled the waists of the bellies.
Those who owned clocks were also re-
