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-
tion, $1,000 fine, or one year imprison-
ment or both; for making a whisky
mash or a beer, fine of between $500
and $1,000. and imprisonment Of be-
tween six months and three years.
Beer making comes within the same

Il You Need a Medicine

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 n writer. 1t 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 sedmentary rocks, d 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, it 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 H. 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
IL the feed includes beans, peas and
potatoes, and even II 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 II 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.

Must Be Brave to Raise
Mustache-and a Little

1t takes brave man to raise a
mustache. When you first hesitate
and then desist when 1t comes to shaw
ing your upper lip and the sprouts
spring up as ragged as the weeds in
brick walk, then your friends nudge
each other and grin broadly when they
meet you, muses. a writer in Toledo
News-Bee. Your family looks at you
with sorrowful eyes and cringes when
you jauntily caress the segments Of
down and remark that you certainly
are breaking all records for quick &C.
cumulatiOn Of foliage.
You become the butt Of constant kid
ding. You furnish large punches of
enjoyment for your friends. The fa.
vorite form of wittlcism 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
matter Of fact it flares up more
strongly than ever. "Ah, ha," say your
friends. $50 you cut Off your mustache
to make yourself look younger3 That's
right, old top, make yourself look as
young as possible-you're slipping

Trace Military Terms and
Designations to Normans

Nearly all Of our military terms and
designations are derived from the Nor
mans. These designations are mar
shal, general, colonel, major, captain,
adjutant, cornet, lieutenant. ensign,
officer, sergeant, corporal and soldier.
The military terms are siege, maneu-
vel, trench, tactics, march, invasion.
assault, escalade, encampment. column,
battery, fertilization, battalion, bonn

Animals Display Great
intelligence When III or
Hurt-Treat Themselves

Few people realize, notes a 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 1t eats that species Of
grass known as "dog's grass" Cats
also eat grass, catnip. ETC., when sick.
Sheep and cows in the same clrcum-
stances seek out certain wild plants.
If an ants foot Is cut, other ants
will cover the wounded part with
transparent fluid from their mouths.
II chimpanzee is wounded 1t stops
the flow of blood by placing its hand
on the wound or dressing 1t with
leaves and grass.
A terrier had an injured eye. 1t re-
mained lying under counter, avoid
ing heat and light, although it had
been its 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 1t
then applied to the wounded eye,
again licking the paw when 1t 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.
