SCOT as a Disinfectant.

It has been found that SCOT acts as
disinfectant and is more active moist
than dry. Water seems to dissolve the
6jsinfecting agents in the SCOT making
them more active. Carbon floating in
the air seldom, if ever, carries bacteria
unless it has lodged on the ground and
is again blown into the air.
Now SCOT acts as very effective
blanket, protecting the bacteria and
giving them chance to grow. Dis
eases Of the nose and throat are not
appreciably more prevalent in smoky
cities, but they are more severe and
harder to cure. This is probably due
as much to the cr8cking of the mucous
membrane by the change from the dry
atmosphere in the houses to the moist
air outside and subsequent irritation
by dust and smoke.

Electricity and the "Man Hour"

1t used to take two men and a man
and boy to operate tanning mill,
one to turn the crank and one to feed
the grain into the mill. In the old
days before the man huor" was
matter of interest to the farmer this
was not considered a inter of very
great importance, But with applica-
ton of business efficiency principles
TO the new business of farming the
modern farmer is making an effort
to see that every hour of labor pro-
tuces just as much as possible. For
this reason he welcomes any means
of letting one man do what used to
require two. Other jobs might be
mentioned such as the corn-sheller,
the grindstone and the horse tlipper.
Today nearly all these two man
jobs can be performed by one man.
This has been accomplished by sub
shutting a small electric motor for
the man who formerly turned the
crank. These motors are made Ell
Their to be attached permanently to
the machine in question, if it is one
that is used frequently, or to be
moved about from one machine to
to another where the machine is on
ly used occasionally. For the latter
kind of use the motor is mounted
on small three-legged stand and is
equipped with a pulley having sever
al grooves of different diameter.
The old hand crank is removed from
the machine and pulley is fitted to
the crank shaft. Pulleys of his kind
are now made with an assortment of
bushings which allow the pulleys to
be fitted to the shafts of different
sizes. A belt is then put over the
motor pulleys and the large pulley
on the crank shaft and the switch is
turned. The electric power which be-
gins to turn the shaft is smooth and
srong and for every hour it runs a
man hour" is saved.

MUSHROOMS or ALL SORTS
Edible and Poisonous, While One Spe-
ces, Grown in Africa, Is Worshiped
as God

In or about the edges of woods one
occasionally comes across an unpleas-
a1t-looking umbrella-shaped mush-
room with a red or orange-colOred top
::..,at !s covered with Shiny emulation.
Now and then, strange to say, people
eat it. They die.
It's slime is very attractive to flies.
They gather upon it, and they die. In
Europe this species of mushroom Is
used as a substitute for fiy-paper.
The Notwithstanding "clathrus"
mushroom is believed in France to
cause cancer. French people call it
the cancer mushroom" Another spe-
cieS, which grows on olive trees, is so
luminous at night that one can see to

DEEP RESPECT FOR SABBATH
Writer'S Recollection of How Day
Used to Be Observed When He
Was a Small Boy.

MY mother was born and reared In
York. On the farm where my grand
mother lived, it was the custom to be-
gin Sunday on Saturday night at
shutdown. The "hired man" came in
from the chores, grandmother put
away all her work in the kitchen, and
then the entire family gathered in the
best room and studied the Sunday
school lesson, or had q reading from the
Bible, led by grandfather and all the
family retired not later than nine
O'Clock
In the morning after doing none but
TIE absolutely necessary chores on the
farm, the team that had not been used
the day before was hitched up to the
big four-Seated wagon and the entire
family, including the "hired" help, went
to church. There was preaching serv-
ice in the forenoon, and then we adj
jOurned to a lunch for ourselves and
the team. Then we went in to a Sun
day school service, and after an inter-
val there was another preaching serv-
ice, after which we hitched up and
drove slowly back to the farm.
That was the way Sunday was kept
in western New York little more
than fifty years ago. l can remem-
her hearing my mother say that when
she was girl in the same New York
state village, she was not allowed to
walk except to the cemetery and back,
on Sunday, and was not allowed to
read any books except the Bible and
"Foy's Book of Martyrs. "-Christian
Herald.

ANNAPOLIS FOUNDED TN 1904
Nova Scotia Earliest colcnized Land
In North America, With Excep-
tion of St. Augustine.

Nova Scotia may lay claim to be-
Ing the earliest colonized land in North
America, with the exception of ST. Au-
gustine. Fla, where the Spanish es-
Establishment was made as early as
l565. Port Royal, now the little town
of Annapolis, was founded in 1904
three years before the English settled
at Jamestown. The brave French
pioneers found it necessary to sus-
pend their colony for three years, but
the settlement was re-established in
1910 by group of Acadians.
The Acadians were in almost con-
slant conflict with the English. The
colony fell into the hands of the Eng
lish twice, and was each time returned
to the French before the English final
ly captured it in ITO. The Acadians
remained steadfast in their hopes that
French rule would some day return,
but their hope was destined never to
be realized. They, however, persisted
j.: maintaining their identity even
against the English insistence that
they abandon their allegiance to their
mother country.
The descendants of the Acadians,
numbering 100000, are to be found in
Maryland Virginia. the Carolinas,
Georgia and Louisiana. When the
AcadiqnS We're expelled from the Basin
of MonaS, Grand Pre-, when they re-
fused to take the oath of fealty to the
English sovereign in 1853 many Of them
escaped to the wilderness and later
drifted back to their former homes only
to find them occupied by new settlers
from New England states.

"cAvEMAN" STUFF ALL RIGHT /
At Least, One Indiana Man Is Salts
fled With the Way 1t Worked in
His Particular Case.

Now, she is a very sarcastic young
woman, and the man who wishes to
marry her is often much tormented
with her ability to say things which
make him distinctly uncomfortable
One night one of his friends and he
decided to go to a picture house and
there they saw play in which the
caveman stuff was exceedingly strong.
Evidently that gave the young man
an inspiration. for the next cutting
remark the young woman made he
resented.
He had come to take her for a
drive. After getting her safely set
tied in his car and having placed a
large box of candy in her lap he set
tied down for a pleasant evening.
But not long. The young woman could
not stand his ease. She deliberately
opened her box, took out bonbon,
nibhled at 1t minute and then said
in icy tones: "Why, this candy Is
stale"
At first the young man felt inclined
TO Writhe, but the next minute the
caveman stuff of the movie darted
into his mind. He did what he
thought was a real rough act. He
seized that beautiful box of candy
and threw it as far as he could.
For long time there was silence.
Then the girl began the conversation.
And this time she spoke meekly and
in "honied" tones. She is still speak
ing in the same way whenever she
is with im.-Indianapolis News.

Rebuilding Guatemala City.

Guatemala city, In the republic Of
the same name, which was the scene
OF one Of the most violent earthquakes
in Central American history, during
the latter months of 1917 and the early
part of 1918, is now being gradually
rebuilt
Guatemala was for centuries the
nome of the Maya-Quiche Indians. At
OUirigua are located some of the most
remarkable ruins in the Americas
monoiths resembling Egyptian ODE
lisIs, from the top of which~gigantic
faces stare at the intruder. EXcava-
lions in the vicinity have revealed the

a remarkable and imposing temple. A

southwestern Guatemala live pure
hIooded Indians who are known for
their physique, cleanliness and scrupu-

Valuable Shrub.

One may look for an increased cul-
tivatiOn of the So-called Guatemalan
"jocOte maranon" (anacardium occi-
dentale), which is quite common In
that country. 1t has been found that
incisiOns in the trunk cause it TO ex-
ude resinOus secretion that dissolves
like gum arabic, and that is highly
useful for FASTING purposes. Used in
the binding Of books, it possesses, be-
side its adhesive qualities, the added
virtue Of keeping away moths, be-
cause Of It's acrid odOr. There is also
obtained, from the same plant, ii caus-
tic oil, which turns black when it
strikes the air. This has been found
excellent In the treatment of furniture.
The seeds Of the fruit are toasted and
eaten, as well as used for various
dishes. An 10 per cent extract of oil
is made, which is said by connois-
seurs to merit comparison with the
best of sweet almonds. According to
the newspaper Excelsior of Guatemala
the cultivation Of the shrub provides
business Of increasing profitableness.

MOST POPULAR GIVEN NAME
1ohn," or Its Derivative, Common in
All MISUNDERSTANDING Size
of Jones Family.

John is the most common given. or
christian, name we have. It's history
is curious. 1t came originally from the
Hebrew Jehohannen, God is gracious
The Greeks made it JOhanan, and i'm
the feminine it became Anna and Han
nah. The name was unknown in Sax
on England and was seldom used
among the Normans. In the Dooms-
day book, the record of the inhabitants
Of England which William the Con-
qneror had compiled, only two Johns
are listed, and one Of them Is Dane.
The German form is Hans, and some
times .Johan. From these we have the
surnames Hanson and Johanson. The
diminutive Is found in Hanks, Hankin,
Hankinson, Jankin, jenkins, Jensons
and Jennings. Shane is the Irish form
OF John and Jean the French. Consid-
ering the popularity of the name John
and the fact that at this time It was
spelled "J-O-n" and pronounced "Jone,"
the size of the Jones family will be ex-
planned. The name means "son of
John" John Jones Is found in almost
every community. !

A NEW CURE FOR
SPEEDING AUTOISTS

The police force in Athens in
Greece is armed with long planks
studded with nails and when thew
see a car approaching at an UNI
lawful speed, all they do is to let
tins nail-studded plank fall in the
front Of the car.
If the car is within control of
the driver 1t is stopped in time to
prevent running on the nails, and
no arrest is made, but if the car
goes on the nails, a puncture is
the result and the driver also is
arrested for speeding.

IN most things but there are some
things they might learn from the
police of other lands.

sea grass that grows abundantly
about the shores of Japan has been
found to yield fiber which, properly
mixed with cotton, forms thread
r1uch cheaper and stronger than one
Of all cotton. The process of remov-
ing the rind Of the weed, which has
been patented by it's japanese inven-
tor, Is to dry the plant, boil it in lya
fer two hours and cool slowly. Wash
ing it in water then separates most of
the coverings, and the rest comes off
when it Is soaked in water containing
lice bran and brought to the boiling
point. The resulting fiber, after rims
ing, resembles cotton, and is ready for
use. The grass is harvested in the
fall and the fiber can be prepared by
fishermen. 1t is expected to have
marked effect on the price of cheap
clothing, and TO improve the durability

no fewer than 150 valleys, varying

Ancient Bricks Well Made.

OF the durability of the ancient
bricks the remains of ancient walls
and courses that go back to prehis-
toric times bear witness. So strong
are the well-made sun-dried bricks
that they are found as q foundation
many courses deep, beneath the pom
derous stone work Of ancient temples.
The remains of the ancient town. now
known as Ell Kab, still exist with a
wall constructed entirely of such
bricks, still a solid mass. These
bricks now, as In ancient days, are
made with mud from the, Nile and
chaff, not straw, @but the admixture
was by no means always required, as
the Nile mud differed considerably in
different places, and In second-rate
brickmaking the mixture of "tibu" or
chaff was not used. But In great
works, such as the greater wall in
closing the temple group of Karnak
which was made under the impulse Of
the government at the time, this chafc
was always used.

MADE TOMBSTONE OF ROCK
Probably New Yorker VIII Investigate
Before He carves His Name on
Another Boulder.

1t was quite while before promi-
nent lawyer in New York related to
his friends personal experience
which he had one summer when. being
somewhat run down in health, he went
into the AdirOndacks to rest.
One day, as ne was wandering aim
lessly through the woods, he came up
on huge boulder not far from the
railroad that runs along the shore of
lake. Listlessly he began to carve
his name on the rock. but gradually
warmed to the task and chiseed zeal
ously away until he had wrought both
name and date with various embellish-
ing fiourishes.
AS he was proudly surveying the
result of his labor, an elderly back
woodsman appeared on the scene. Aft
er the customary greeting. he dex-
terously shifted his pack to the ground,
then with somewhat quiZzical air
surveyed the lawyers work.
quite bit of art you've got
there" he observed gravely.
The lawyer accepted this tribute
complacently.
Kind of curious how things come
about" he went on. Now, the first
time train was run into these here
woods 1t come in contact with tramp,
long about here; and that there boul-
der marks the spot where we buried
him. Now, here he is provided with a
hrst-class tombstone and an inscrip-
ton that anybody might be proud of.
