SHOOTING STARS.

A little boost went forth one day
To greet listening throng.
Somehow the boost has gone astray.
Its reasoning was wrong;
And as men paused to think it out,
It brought mental shock.
That little boost awakened doubt
And turned into q knock.
A little knock was meant to land
With mischievous effect.
The grounds on which it sought to
Were plainly incorrect.
And as men studied it anew
Sincere applause was loosed,
The little knock, with aim untrue.
Turned out to be a boost.

policy OF great industrial corporations,
according TO the supplementary report
on the steel strike of 1919, made pub
lie by the commission of inquiry os
the lnterchurch World Movement.
The most important Of the supple
mentary report deals with employ
ment of spies, known as under

ana the findings are backed up by
hundreds of original documents.
Reports from which the facts were
ascertained were furnished to the COM
mission. along with the blacklist, by
the steel company, which hired spies
from two labor detective agencIsa

Their duties were to "break the

contains extracts from scores of re-

NEURASTHEN|A-
NERVE STARVATION
v Disssss Of the Down Heartod-Prac-
deal advice on what to do.

Many a man is broken down and
discouraged without having any ac-
tual disease in his organs and It's
sues-hc has Lost his grip, feels
weak and nervous and everything
looks dark. He is suffering from
the great American disease-Neu-
rasthenia or nerve starvation, due to
over-work, worry, continual hurry
and nervous strain. The longer this
continues the more certainly will 1t
end in real disease of his organs, his
nerves or his mind.
Such n man should live on the SIM
pie foods, eat plenty OF cooked fruit
and green vegetables, sleep nine hours
at night IL he can, an hour In the aft
ernoon and feed his starving nerves
and weak, thin blood. with good
nerve ami blood food, like Nuxated
Iron. Nuxated Iron contains a prod
uct brought to the attention Of the
French Academy Of Medicine by the
celebrated Doctor Robin, which rep
rescnts the principal chemical con-
stituent of active living nerve force:
1t also contains genuine organic iron
like the iron II your blood and like
tho iron in spinach, lentils and apples.
Nuxated Iron may therefore be said
to be a real nerve and blood food since
1t supplies the principal ingredients
demanded by your nerves and blood
to give you strength, energy, force
and endurance. 1t often increases the
bodily and mental yigor Of weak.
wornout, down hearted. and nervous
folks in two weeks time. Your money

ers IL it does not produce perfectly

SHIP BOARD P[UMS
WON'T DROP YET
Harding Not to Consider Those
Appointments for Some
Time to Come.

President Harding has called a halt
on the mad scramble for places on
the United States Shipping Board by
letting 1t be known that those ap-
pointments would not be considered
! for some time to come" and that the
candidates. numbering in the hun
dreds. may as well go home.
Since the day the President took
office the candidates for shipping
board places have overwhelmed him.
and he has stopped IT with the simple
measure OF laying those appointments
aside for the consideration of other
matters" stated one of the Presi-
dents closest advisers here.
One man whose name has been
| linked with a shipping board place
got in to see the President yester-
day. That was Percy Mclean. al
Canto. Ohio. However, he denied
that shipping board places were dis
cussed, a statement accepted gener-
ally because of the belief that Ohioans
have about gone their limit on ap-
pointments received.
Another of the Presidents visitors
was w. ". Doak. president of the
Broth herhood of Railroad Trainmen
who was once mentioned for Secre-
tary of Labor He stated that he had
called in response to a pre-iraugural
invitation for a general conference on
the railroad labor situation.
John Morehead. Republican ma
tional committeeman from North
Carolina, was the medium making
the announcement that the President
for some weeks yet would be unable
to consider invitations to functions
either in or outside Washington.
Morehead wanted him to make a trip
to North Carolina for a local celebra-
ton.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
VISIT RAT COLONY
Rodents Are Used to illustrate
Harmful Results Of In.
correct Diet.

BALTIMORE. March a1.-A class of
school children. between the ages
Of eight and ten, paid a visit
to the colony OF 1000 rats at the
Johns Hopkins Medical School They
were entertained by Miss Nino Sim
monds. an instructor in bio-chemistry.
who showed them examples of the
results Of eating Incorrect foods.
The youngsters showed great in
terest In the colony. with one excep-
tion. A little girl turned up her nose
and said: "oh. these rats aren't any
thing: you ought to see the ones in
our cellar"
Dr. L. V. McCollum, head of the
department Of bio-chemistry and pro-
moter of the rat community. has
visited the schools on several occa-
sions to tell the children about the
value of eating and drinking cor
rectly. and Miss Honora Talbot. the
teacher. has told them many things
about the foods that are needed to
make children strong and healthy.
She also has told them of the ills
awaiting the man or woman who
drinks coffee instead Of milk and who
fails to eat foods containing all the
essentials.
Each child in the party yesterday
wanted to see the results of some
particular sort OF wrong eating.
Lets see a rat that always drinks
coffee." said one little boy.
Miss Simmonds. using pincers that
looked like an extended pair OF curl
ing irons, lifted a rat from one OF the
cages and held 1t before the children.
It's eyes were swollen and almost
closed and its fur was rough and un-
kempt.
Now. that's the coffee rat" she
said.
Then followed rats that lived on
cottonseed oil, candy. meat and even
orange juice diets Each Of these
foods by itself lacks an essential.
Miss Simmonds said. and the rats
showed 1t. Then one boy wanted to
see rat that had the ricketts,. 1t
was produced.
"Taint bow-legged." he exclaimed.
Miss Simmonds explained that 1t
hadn't had the ricketts, very long. But
the look in the rats eyes and its
general condition was enough to
satisfy the children that ricketts,
very enjoyable.

Many Farmers Are
Culling Dairy Herds
and individuals

Some Of the farmers and dairymen
OF this community are now carrying
on tests thrnout their herd or with
individuals. The tests range in
length from daily production to q
season and in some cases year.
The purpose is to clean out the
boarders and replace them by better
individuals. 1t is not necessary ia
have pure bred stock or to replace
those discarded by purebred stock,
but in this manner keep going over
the herd and eliminate those that
are not up to the standard set by the
owner.
In forty-eight hour test carried
on by E. M. Gregg and William
Thompson there were three COWS
tested principally according to the
butter fat produced. In this test one
of the cows owned by Mr.. Gregg
tested 3.31 pounds Of butter fat, the
one owned by Mr.. Thompson tested
'3.01 pounds Of butter fat. The
third cow tested and owned by Mr..
Gregg tested 1852 pounds.
County Agent Thomas wishes to-
assist all those who in this way wish
to improve their herd or to test men,
