New Seeds
For rLeprosy

VvyITH the progress of the

" Service in the treatment OF
the age-old scourge. leprosy, BY
the use of chaulmoogra oil. Pc
culiar interest attaches to
package Of seeds recently received
by the Bureau of Plant Industry
OF the United States Department
Of Agriculture.
The seeds are those of tree
known as Hydnocarpus anthelmin-
tica, and were sent to the depart
ment from Bangkok, Siam. by DR..
j. F.. Rock, of the University or
Hawaii, who was sent 10 Siam by
body of sugar planters and is
now in the plant exploration serv-
ice OF the Department or Agrl-
culture.
True chaulmoogra oil is obtained
from the seed of tree known as
Taraktogenos Kurzii, which grows
in Burma. However, in the latter
part Of the last century the at
tention of scientists was attracted
to three other trees whose seeds
yielded q similar oil. They were

succeeded in separating the physi-
ologically active acids in the Oil
from the seeds of the first two OF
these trees. These acids, desig-
mated as chaulmoogric and hydno-
carpic acid. respectively were
identified with the corresponding
acids OF true chaulmoogra oil. He
also prepared in the years l9O+-
1905 the ethyl esters OF the acids.
which Is the form in which the
remedy Is used in injections by
the Public Health Service spe-
cialists.
While work done by the medical
specialists so far has been with
true chaulmoogra oil, the receipt
Of DR.. Rocks seeds Of the Hydno-
carpus tree has caused Department
OF Agriculture authorities to set
in motion efforts to propagate the
plants for possible future useful
ness.
The seeds will be sent to Florida,
Porto Rico, and Hawaii for propa-
cation.

PaperBagAge

There was the stone age, and the
bronze age. and then the iron age.
Some folks have called this the
steel age. but this is weak no.
tion, because steel is only a modi-
fed iron-a sort of raised and
glorifed iron. What we are really
living in is the paper bag age.
There Is virtually no household
commodity in a grocery or market
that isn't handed to you in paper
bag.
Liquids that ,might soak through
a paper bag are put in something
liquid-proof and then the some
thing is put In a paper bag. IL
small boy is sent by his mother on
his first errand to the corner
grocery for two pounds OF sugar
and a dozen clothespins he returns
with the commodities in one paper
bag and the change in another. A
friendly grocer, finding himself
with a kitten on his hands which
he didn't really need, gave II to
one Of his customers. He handed
1t to her in a paper bag. Live
chickens carried in paper bags are
frequent sights in market districts.
THEY'RE A NUISANCE.
The worst thing about paper bags
Is what to do with them, Several
thousand a month. seemingly, come
into the house. and restored to
their original condition. with the
edges creased in, and so they Will
lie fiat and ship-shape. they look
valuable: but they're only a nuis-
ance. During the war you could
wait until you had three or four
dozen and then take them back to
the grocer and feel that you were
helping win the conflict. Though
even then the man was apt to re-
gard you with a fishy eye, and you
wouldn't dare to do II now. What
shall be done with them? Send
them to the heathen? The heather
doesn't want a lot of second hand
paper bags. He would think they
were clothes and try to wear them.
They wouldn't make clothes even
for a heathen.
WRAPPING PAPER OF SOME USE.
In the old days before the inven-
tion of paper bags things were done
up in brown paper. When you
spread that out and then folded IT
into neat squares you had some
thing. You could do up packages
in it. The children could cover
their school books with it Besides.
string always came with the paper,
and string Is highly useful. A hoy
brought up without plenty of string
Is bound to be rather queer when
he reaches manhood.
FILLED CERTAIN NEED.
When paper bags first began to
come in they filled certain need.
You popped them for the amuse-
ment of the children. Pursing up
the opening you held it with your
thumb and curved forefinger and
blew into the bag a mighty lungful.
throttling the opening. Then you
slammed the inflated bag between
your two hands and made a start
ling bang which both frightened
and delighted the waiting small fry.
But the wiser youngsters OF to-
day" are only languidly interested.
They get all the bang stuff required
from backfiring automobiles.
SO here we are: no wrapping
paper, no string, several hundred
useless empty paper bags a month.
We used to hear about paper bag
cookery; perhaps they were diff
ferent kind of bag; anyhow. 1t
seems to have passed out. But at
one time IL was taken seriously and
we used to wonder X the time
would come when at Kentucky
barbecues they would put the OK
in a paper bag.

done by the young mother

There are number of definite
things to be understood and

exposed. Among these things to
be attended to are the teeth, as
good teeth are essential to good

viduals life.
The first teeth are as important
as the permanent teeth, and de-
cayed teeth at any period will
have the same unfortunate effect.
Decayed teeth prevent proper chew

effect upon the digestion, to say
nothing of the danger of absorption
OF the poisons from such teeth.

important as they are often the be-

serious. They may be caused by
lack of resistance through i'm
proper feeding, overheated living
quarters. or the presence of ade-
noids or of enlarged tonsiIs.

KEEP UP COURAGE.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
i am one of the so-called cake
eaters of Eastern High. I have no
steady girl but / have a good Time
with them all. There is dear
little brunette whom I have seen
several times but have not been
able to secure an introduction to
her. She is very pretty and / would
love to be acquainted with her. One
day while we were dancing at
school, l finally dug up courage
enough to ask her for dance
She remarked that she had to go
to her section room because the
bell had rang, so ] missed chance
again.
Now, Miss Fairfax, how can l
see more of this girl who is my
ideal? Do you think she dislikes
me or just doesn't care for the
company Of boys? MAX.
/ don't know. Keep up your
courage, and you'll find out some
day.
The Washington times., 1921-02-26
WHERE TO FIND 'EM.
,EAR MISS FAIRFAX:


We are two girls of nineteen,
and neither of us have any friends
who know how to dance. We feel
as though we could have a much
better time IL we knew how, and
have come to you for advice as to
the location of a good inexpensive
school. We are not particularly
desirous of dancing with gentle
men. l. M. AND A. w. b.
You will find several good
dancing schools advertised in The
Washington Times.
1t is not proper for two girls to
attend a public dance hall without
escorts or without A chaperon.
And by no means dance with any
one who is not known to you or
to your escorts.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

ing out with fellows. I am await
ing your advice on these questions:
When introduced to a fellow, how
should i greet him, and when a fell
low says l am very glad l met you.
what should l say?
Is 1t proper to invite a fellow
to call on me? s. S.
1t all depends upon the greeting
of the man. If he should say, II
am very glad to meet you, Miss
-" you may respond with,
THANK you, ! am very glad or very
happy to meet you, Mr.. -"
1t is quite proper to ask a young

him well. Unless you are we'll

privilege.
