DR.. R. NJ. Brame, discoverer of
Brame's Vapomentha Salve, has
letter from c. C. Wright, Superin-

"We have used Brame's Vapomentha
Salve for nearly all the ills for which
it is prescribed and have always Sc

in time it has never failed to break

CONGRESS HAS VOTED 1902, 900
TO FIGHT NEW COTTON PEST
Pink Boil Worm, Gypsy, Brown Tail
Moth Provokes Oratory.

WASHINGTON.-The pink boil
worm, aided and abetted by the gypsy
and brown call moth, invaded the
senate the other day and brought on
an epidemic of oratory.
An item of 100000 for the bu-
reau of entomology to combat insect
pests was being considered. When
Senator Pomerine, Ohio, sought to
make the total 100000, because of
the gypsy moth menace, Senator
Thomas interjected the statement
that "they are raising monuments to
the boil weevil down in Alabama"
Senator Shepard, Texas, among
those who retorted, said the pink boil
worm in Texas and Louisiana threat
ened destruction of a large part of
the coming cotton crop and that he
proposed later to offer an amendment
to recompense growers for crops de-
stryed in the fight.
In the end Senator Pomerine's
amendment was voted down and the
committees figures accepted.

STEEL MILL COMETS"
DAZZLE SMOKY CITY,
Brilliant Lights Flashed to the Sky
Amuse Scientists

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-Intense blast
furnace activity, combined with low
temperatures, has in recent weeks
given to the Pittsburgh district some
of the most beautiful furnace comets"
it has ever seen.
Furnace comets" are great broad
shafts of yellow light which pierce
the black background of a murky sky
in a most spectacular manner. They
flash almost without moments no.
tice, only to reappear as bright, if
not brighter, than before Usually
there are two of them, at times rising
perpendicular, but oftener cutting the
sky like the beam from a searchlight.
Scientists of the Allegheny obser-
vatofy explained the lights by say
ing that the light from the blast
furnaces penetrates the atmosphere
above the city to a great height, and,
there being caught by frost crystals,
send back the reflection in the form
of broad bands.

Such Endurance as You
Want in Your Car

Never before was a car driven at top
speed for so hours. The grind was more
severe than years Of road use. Yet at the
end the Essex showed no measurable wear.
What car, the Essex size and weight,
can ever attain mile-a-minute speed much
less keep it up for so hours?
These results were decisive They
proved Essex not only the supreme per-
former of the light car field. They
showed that with advantage of moderate
price and economy it combines such en-
durance and dependability as few large,
high priced cars offer.

PALMER'S FRIENDS
CONTINUE CAMPAIGN
WILL NOT WITHDRAW BECAUSE
OF SEN. SMITHS CANDIDACY.
WATSON is ENTERED.

ATLANTA. GA.-After week OF
much speculation and considerable
political pulling and hauling the sta
tus of the presidential primary IN
Georgia is as follows:
Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal
mer is a candidate. Senator Hoke
Smith is a candidate. Senator Jas.
A. Reed is a candidate. The name
of Thomas E. Watson has been filed.
Governor Dorsey has not entered the
race. and all indications now are that
he will not do so.
1t is generally believed here that
Governor Dorsey will issue a state
ment in which he will announce his
purpose not to get into the race. In
this same statement it is expected the
governor will go on record as indoors
ing the candidacy of Mr.. Palmer.
Some of those close to the COVER
nor are authority for the statement
that he has definitely decided not to
be drawn into the presidential pri-
mary. They say that he will give a
strong endorsement of Mr.. Palmer.
Switch Not Favored.
The Palmer committeeman who met
in Macon Friday were greatly pleased
at Governor Dorsey's reported atti-
tude. They were deeply concerned
over efforts which were being made
in some quarters to get the governor
into the presidential primary, efforts
which also contemplated getting Mr..
Palmer out of the race and the
switching of the Palmer organization
to the governor. 1t was quickly de-
veloped at the meeting of the Palmer
committee that the suggested switch
could not be consummated.
Senator Smith and his supporters
are making plans for an active and
aggressive campaign. Political head
quarters have been opened at the
Piedmont hotel in Atlanta and plans
are being made for an aggressive

BETTER sIREs CAMPAIGN
PASSES 5000 MARK

The better sires campaign recently
passed the 5000 mark This means that
more than 5000 persons have agreed
in writing to breed all live stocq kept
on their farms to purebred sires only.
1t is one of the results thus far ac-
complished by the United States de-
partment of agriculture in co-opera-
tion with the stateh and county agents
in systematic campaign begun only
ID months ago to exterminate scrubs
especially scrub sires-throughout
the United States. Breeders and
owners of all classes of livestock and
poultry are cooperating in the effort
which eventually will mean a higher
quality average of the. country's live

INTEREST IN IMPROVING PET

Applications to recognize the i'm

it difficult for officials of the Bureau
of Aniamal Industry, United States
Department of Agriculture, to deter
mine just where the dividing line be-
tween farm live stock and other ami
mails, including pet stock, should be
drawn in developing the Better Sires
Better Stock" campaign. The class
es in which particular efforts toward
improvement by the use of pure-bred
sires are being directed include cat
tie, horses, asses, swine, sheep, goats
and poultry.
A supplementary list of pet stock
and miscellaneous animals is being
kept, and thus far l76 such animals
all bred to purebred sires, have been
listed. The predominance of interest
of course, is in the Improvement oi
general farm live stock, of which near.

What Uncle Sam Is
Doing for Farmers
EXPERIMENTS WITH SHIPPING
BOXED APPLES IN BOX CARS

About 1900 cars of boxed apn,es
shipped in box cars were injured by
freezing last year and the fruit growers
sustained loss of approximately ST.
oOO,OOO. Because of this and the fact
that 1t seems impossible to secure an
adequate amount of refrigerator equip
ment the Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, is
cooperating with the Wenatchee Val
ley Traffic Association to ascertain
whether an ordinary box car can be
made to take the place of a refriger-
ator car when the latter are not, OBJ
tainable. The tests are being con-
Quoted with four box cars, each equip
ed with different method of ventila-
ton and refrigerator car under
standard ventilation, to provide a
means of comparison.
The first box car has ventilator
cut in each end. The second has the
side doors open 8 inches. The third
has one side door open with a 6-inch
BATTLE to shoot the air into the car,
and the fourth box car has no ventila-
ton whatever. Delicate equipment
records the air currents and temper
atures and an accurate chart is kept.
In publishing the preliminary report
of the experiment, which is not entire
ly completed, the Bureau of Markets
says that the use of ordinary box-car
equipment under any sort of ventila-
ton will not prove satisfactory for
shipping boxed apples. Such produce
can be safely shipped by box car only
when the weather ranges from temper
ate to cool. The ordinary box car
provides no protection whatever
against changes in external tempera-
ture. The best means of ventilation is
to open both doors inches, so fast
ening them as to prevent robbery.

READY TO TEST HAY SAMPLES
TO SET Up STANDARD GRADES

Sample bales of hay are being col
lected by the Bureau of Markets
United States department of agricul-
ture from the producers, shippers,
and CONSUMERS for the purpose OF
establishing standards for hay The
work is provided for by an act OF
congress, and includes analyses OF
the hay samples in order to determine
the importance of the factors now
used in determining the grade of the
commodity, including the color, mix
ture and texture. Moisture determin-
ations and other analyses to ascertain
the relative feeding value of various
hay mixtures will also be made.
The work is in charge of special
ist from the hay, feed, and seed di-
vision of the bureau, and the labora-
tory has been established at POI South
Strand street, Alexandria, Va
The equipment used includes sep
arating tables especially constructed
for this work, display tables for use
in color determinations, and racks
and boxes for holding the various
type-samples as we'll as hay cutter
and grinder operated by a 15-horse
power motor. These two machines
cut and grind the hay to degree of
fineness suitable for making the mois-
ture tests and chemical analyses. An
electric drying oven; also constructed
especially for the ork, is used in the
moisture tests and in reducing the hay
to a uniform moisture content for the
other analyses.
The Standardization work is now
we'll begun and it is expected that ten
tative grades for timothy and perhaps
clover will be promulgated before the
