the Crlmean war in 1856, when tho

their anxiety 10 prevent rapproche-

After this annexation the CONNER

HURLS SEEDS LONG DISTANCE

or More, as Shown by an
Experiment,

The curious manner in which the

described by DR.. Edward S. Bigelow
In his department. "On Natures Trail"
In Boys Life. He says:
"NO other plant can shoot its seeds
so far and so violently as this one

how far 1t can shoot, but in expert

feet has been reached. The expert
ment was made In this manner: The
frujting branches were suspended at
the end Of room 30 feet long, At
the extreme farther end of the room
many seeds were found Some had
hpcn shot through an open door. but
Just how far I do not know. Various
other experiments suggest that the
seeds may be thrown to distance OF
40 feet or more. The books say that
the seed capsule bursts and discharges
its contents with great vigor. 1t GER
tainly does. Experiments with the
bursting pods and the flying seeds may

be hit by the flying missiles, but |

Congressman HaYS Urges Soldiers and
Sailors Keep War Risk Insurance
In Force

The Secretary OF the Treasury has
called my attention to the fact that
many Of our soldiers aud sailors are al
lowing their government insurance to
lapse. regard this as a great mistake
on their part and wish you would join
with me in an effort TO induce them 10
keep their certificates in force. This
insurance is the cheapes; and safest lite
insurance available. They are accord,
ed a special privilege by reason Of Their
willingness to serve the government
when it was in peril. This particular
insurance is we'll named War Risk To-
surence.
The option is given to convert their
original certificates into policies on the
old line plaDi in fact this must be doue
within five years if the insurance is to
continue. Itany certificate holder feels
unable to carry all the government in
surance he now has, he may reduce the
amount and carry only part Of it,
But the most important point involv'
is this: if the present certificate is drop
ped many Of the boys can never get in
surance again; they may be in good
health today but a month later might
not be able to pass physical exami-
nation: moreover, many who think they
are now in good health may have some
latent disorder which they do not real
ize but which would prevent re insur'
ance.
# the insurance is allowed to finally
lapse it cannot be renewedi but in may
be continued now aud converted later
without any additional physical exami'
alton. In case Of temporary lapse,
steps should be taken at once 10 rein
state; and all future premiums should
be promptly paid
My advice to anyone would BE- to
hold On TO all the government insur'
ance he now has, or as much Of it as he
can afford to carry, until near the ena
Of the FIVE year conversion period, SO
as to get the benefit OF cheaper rates,
and then to convert all or part Of it in

en-, status Of his insurance will be GLAD
to investigate it for him, on request,
and will advise him about it,

Honey.

Honey Is the best substitute for
sugar that has yet been found. In.
deed, It Ii more than a substitute, 1t
is a real food, Few people, unfortu-
nately, know how to keep honey. All
too often It Is stored in On ice chest
or a cold cellar. Under such conds-
tlons 1t Is almost certain to soliJlfy
or turn into candy. The best place to
keep honey is on the top shelf In
warm cupboard. If you find that It
has hardened set the contalner In a
pan Of hot water until the contents
liquefy again. There is little adultern-
ton of honey these days, for adulter-
ated honey is easy TO detect. You can
buy It and eat 1t without fear.
