If You Make
Your Own
Ar,>
II Issued BY Revenue Authorizes

Persons who may be planning to
make liquor in their own homes after
national prohibition becomes effective
July l are to be warned by revenue
authorities as to the penalties to which
they will be subject. The internal
revenue bureau has sent to revenue
collectors and agents a summary of
laws on the subject and penalties with
the suggestion that they be made
known widely.
The schedule Of penalties for va.
rious violations Is as follows:
For failure to register still, $500
penalty, fine of between 500 and
$1,000 and imprisonment Of between
one month and two years for making
liquor in community where it Is pro-
hibited by local or state laws, tax Of
$1,000; for violating wartime prohibi-
ton, $1,000 fine, or one year imprison-
ment or both; for making a whisky
mash or beer, fine Of between $500
and $4,000, and Imprisonment of be-
tween six months and three years.
Beer making comes within the same
prohibitions.

Eggs, Milk and Vegetables
Are Essential to Growth

Eggs, milk and the leafy vegetables,
according to H. L. Kempster of the
University of Missouri college of agri-
culture, contain substances known as
vltamines, which are essential to
growth. They are called the -protec-
1--WE 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
II the feed includes beans, Leas and
potatoes, and even If moderate
amounts of leafy vegetables are also
fed. Egg yolk contains about 33 per
cent fat. Like butterfat, 1t 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.

Animals Display Great
Intelligence When III or
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 dogs grass" Cats
also eat grass, catnip, ETC., when sick
Sheep and cows in the same circum-
stances seek out certain wild plants.
If an ants foot Is cut, other ants
will cover the wounded part with a
transparent fluid from their mouths.
If chimpanzee is wounded it stops
the flow Of blood by placing It's hand
on the wound or dressing it with
leaves and grass.
A terrier had an injured eye. It re-
manned lying under counter, avoid
Ing heat and light, although it had
been it's habit to keep close to the fire.
1t adopted the general treatment
rest and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted in licking
the upper surface of its 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.

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. It is
now established beyond all reasonable
doubt that this planet has experienced
not one but 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 expert
enced glacial epochs at different ages.
Great ice sheets were formed at diff
ferent periods back to the Proterozoic
age; that is the age of the Oldest
known sedimentary rocks, a great
many million years ago.
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,

Trace Military Terms and

Nearly all of our military terms and
designations are derived from the Nor

adjutant, cornet, lieutenant, ensign,

The military terms are siege, maneu.

ROAD !.
BUILDING
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
operator-Suggestions Given
as Guide.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
The principal factor in successfully
operating properly constructed road
drag, provided that the condition of
the road is favorable, is skill on the
part of the operator. Such skill can
be obtained only by intelligent expert
ence in the use Of the drag, and no
rules can be laid down which would
enable an inexperienced operator to
produce first-class results. The fol-
lowing suggestions are intended, there
fore, to serve rather as guide to the
judgment than as criterion to be inn
plicity followed.
Under ordinary circumstances the
position of the hitching link on the
draw chain should be such that the
runners will make an angle Of from
go to IS degrees with the center line
of the road, or, in other words, skew
angle of from Is to 80 degrees. It is
apparent that by shifting the position
Of the hitching link the angle Of skew
may be increased or diminished as the
conditions require. When dragging
Immediately over ruts or down the
center Of the road after the sides have
been dragged, it is usually preferable
to have the hitching link at the center
OF the chain and to run the drag with
out skew. When the principal pur-
pose Of the dragging is to increase the
crown of the road, the drag should be

material as rapidly as it is collected
on the runners. On the other hand, if
depressions occur in the road surface,
the skew may perhaps be advantage
ously reduced to minimum, thus en-
abling the operator to deposit the ma
terial which collects in front Of the
runners at such points as he desires
by lifting or otherwise manipulating
the drag. Many other examples of con-
ditions which require notifications in
the angle of skew might easily be
cited, but these will readily suggest.
themselves to an intelligent operator
as his experience increases.
The length of hitch is another very
important consideration in operating q
road drag. In the designs which have
been discussed the draw chain may be
readily taken up or let out at either
end and the length of hitch thus in.
creased or diminished as desired. It
is impracticable to prescribe even an
approximate rule for fixing the length
of hitch, because 1t is materially af.
fected by the height of the team and
the arrangement Of the harness, as
well as by the condition Of the road
surface. Experience will soon teach
the operator, however, when to short

amount Of cutting done by the front
runner and when to lengthen it in or
der to produce the opposite effect.
When the road surface is sufficient
ly hard or the amount of material
which 1t is desired to have the drag
move Is sufficient to warrant the OPP
orator standing upon the drag while it
Is in operation, he can greatly facili-
tate its work by shifting his weight at
proper times. For example, if it is de-
sired to have the drag discharge more
rapidly, the operator should move to-
ward the discharge end Of the runners.
This will cause the ditch end of the
runners to swing forward and thus in
crease the skew angle of the drag.
The operator may, of course, produce
the opposite effect by moving his
weight in the opposite direction. In
the same way, he can partially control
the amount of cutting which the drag
does by shifting his weight backward
or. forward. as the case may be.
An intelligent and interested opera
tor will soon learn many simple ways
by means of which he can easily con-
troll the different features of the work
which a drag performs, and he will
also learn to utilize effectively every
effort which his team exerts.
