Improved Methods

Since the beginning of dentistry
the public has looked upon this pro-
fession as a necessary evil. The
universal rule has been to put off
going to the dentist as long as pos
sible. Dental science has now elm
mated the disagreeable features; it
is no longer an ordeal, Most dent
lists have adopted these latter-day
treatments, although some, we are
sorry to say, still follow in the foot
steps of their forefathers. In up-to-
date dental offices discomfort is
now the exception. That is why the
public has become less hostile to
the professionals. H. M, Wright,

Formaldehyde Controls
SHUTS in Oats

Loose and covered smuts Of oats
which annually cause a heavy loss
to farmers of Kentucky may be pre-
vented by simple formaldehyde
treatment of the seed before it is
planted, according to recommends
tons which have been issued by DIR.
W. d. valleau, plant pathologist of
the Kentucky State College of Ag-
riculture. Either the sprinkling or
spraying method Of treating will
control both infections.
The sprinkling method is almost a
standard procedure for the treat
ment of oats smuts. The solution,
which is used, is made up of one
part of formaldehyde and 240 parts
of water is equivalent to one pint in
80 gallons. Not more than a gallon
of the solution will be necessary for
treating a bushel of oats. Applica-
ton of it is made with an ordinary
sprinkling can while the grain is be-
ing shoveled from one pile to an
other, care being taken to see that
all seeds are wet. The pile Of grain
should then be covered with a sack
or cloth that has first been dipped
in the formaldehyde solution. The
seed should be left in this condition
for two hours or over night. Best
results are obtained if the seed is
planted Immediately after being
treated by either method, but when
this is impossible the seed should
be washed off in water as soon as
possible after the treatment is com
pleted and then spread out to dry.
Tn using the spray method one
part of formaldehyde to one of
water should be used and approx
mately so bushels of seed sprayed
with one quart. A small hand
sprayer may be used in applying the
solution to the seed as it is shoveled
from one pile to another. One part
Of formaldehyde may be used to 10
parts of water, but one quart of this
solution will spray only five bushels.
After the material is applied to the
seeds by this method they should be
covered the same way as they were
in the sprinkling method.

Marked Drop in
nliteracy is Shown

In report from Washington IL
literacy is decreasing in the nation,
according to Census Bureau returns
from the first three states in which
1920 enumeration has been worked
out on the subject.
In Alabama, where the percentage
of iliteracy was found to be 22.9
per cent of the total population over
the ten years of age in 1910, the
1920 percentage was 16.1.
In Arkansas the percentage drop
ped from 1876 in 1910 to 9.4 in 1920
and in Delaware from 81 in 1910 to
SO in 1920.
nliterate persons under the cen
sus bureau tabulation include all
those unable to write.
In all three states the percentage
Of illiteracy in the rural districts
was somewhat greater than in the
cities. In Alabama 17.S per cent of
rural residents were found to be il
literate and 10.4 per cent in cities.
In Arkansas 1876 per cent Of the
rural population and 6.5 per cent of
urban; in Delaware 81 per cent for
rural districts and 81 per cent for

the adoption Of the nineteenth
amendment, for the sole reason that
they were not citizens within the real
meaning of the term as defined in the
case of Amy VS.. Smith, supra. They
now enjoy all hte rights and priv
iliges onferred by the institutions of
Kentucky upon the highest class of
society in this State. In my judg-
ment they are now citizens within
the maening Of that word, as used in
the two sections above quoted, and
entitled to serve as jurors, unless it
be held that the use Of the masculine
pronoun he in referring to jurors
precludes them from serving
"Section 457, Kentucky Statutes,
provides in part:
GA word importing the masculine
gender only may extend and be ap-
piled to females as well as males"
therefore, inasmuch as women
are now citizens and can meet all
the requirements of jurors required
by Sections 2249 and 2253 of the
Kentucky Statutes, the word he as
used in the sections referred to
should be made to apply to and en-
brace females as well as malesy 1t

In both Southern states there was
more illiteracy among negroes than
whites, although the proportion like
wise declined among the negroes dur
ing the ten years. In Delaware 17.3
per cent Of foreign born white per-
sons over ten were found illiterate
and only 2 per cent Of native whites
of native parentage were so class
flied.

There was no insurance except
on the car, and the loss is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000.

Attorney Generals
Opinion on Suffrage

Women may now legally serve on
iuries in Kentucky. This opinion was
given by Attorney General Charles
1. Dawson in answer to a query from
Charles p. Johnson, Inter- Southern
Building, Louisville, who wanted to
know whether or not since adop-
ton of the nineteenth amendment to
the constitution women are eligible
for jury service in this state"
Attorney General Dawson is Of the
opinion that the adoption Of the
nineteenth amendment made citizens
of women within the meaning Of the
term and therefore qualified them
for jury service. His opinion in full
follows:
"The Constitution does not I'M
dertake to fix the qualifications of
jurors. Section 224S, Kentucky Stat
utes, defines the qualifications of
grand jurors, and, insofar as appli-
cable, provides as follows:
mo person shall be qualified to
serve as a grand juryman unless he
be a citizen and a housekeeper of
the county in which he may be called
to serve, and over the age of 81
years."
"Certain exclusions, not necessary
here to mention, are also made in
this section.
"Section 1858, Kentucky Statutes.
defines the qualifications of petit
jurymen, and, insofar as applicable,
as as follows:
mo person shall be competent
iuryman for the trial of criminal,
penal or civil cases in any court I'M
less he be a citizen, at least 81 years
of age, a housekeeper, sober, tenn
perate, discreet and of good de-
meanor.
'Tt will be observed that neither
of these sections specifically require
juryman TO be a male person. How
ever, the personal masculine pro-
noun 'he' is used in referring to such
juryman. The use of this pronoun
in connection with the further provi-
sion of the statutes that a juryman
must be a citizen of the Common
wealth of Kentucky, was ample JUS
LITIGATION for the practice INDUCED
in prior to the adoption of the nine
teenth amendment of allowing only
male persons to serve on juries. OF
course, our statute, Section 332,
provides:
GAN persons born or naturalized
in the United States and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, and who re-
side in the Commonwealth of Ken
lucky, shall be deemed citizens
thereof.
81 am inclined to believe, however,
that when the word Citizen was
used in the two sections of the stat
ute above referred to, fixing the
qualifications of grand and petit
juries, it was used in a different
sense from the definition given to
that word in Section 1892 of the stat
ute. As said in the case of Amy VS..
Smith. 1'Litt. 333:
"No one can, in the correct sense
Of the term, be a citizen Of State
who is not entitled, upon the terms
prescribed by the institution of the
State, to all the rights and priv
ileges conferred by those institutions
upon the highest class of society
"For a person to be entitled to
the rights and privileges conferred
by the laws of Kentucky upon the
highest class of society, in my iudg-
ment it was necessary to enjoy the
right of suffrage. Therefore, it was

Rheumatism
Can Be Cured
But You Must Clear Your
Blood of Waste Products.

Lack of exercise and improper diet
causes waste products to accumu-
late in the blood. You will at once
realize that unless the blood is pure,
some part of the body will become
diseased.
rheumatism, with it's pain and
agony, is one of the most serious
diseases caused by waste products
in the blood. You know, of course,
the blood is not confined alone to the
arteries and veins. 1t passes out OF
these channels to all parts of the
body. This is how sediments or
waste products are deposited in the
muscles and joints. Genuine relief
can be had only by correcting the
basic trouble-Waste products.
Thousands and thousands of men
and women during the past SO years
have cleared their blood of waste
products with S. S. S. 1t is the ideal
remedy for rheumatism, because 1t
removes the poisonous waste matter
which is causing the trouble. There
are no bad after effects and the re-
suit is wonderful. Begin taking

A study of the table above speaks
louder than words in emphasizing
the importance of "class and quail.
ity" in the melon business. 1t will
be observed, for instance, that Al
cars, containing 43,784 melons,
weighing 80 pounds, brought the
association $16,8S8.S3. net, whereas
144 cars containing 222,615 mel,

five times as many 20-pound melons
as we did 30-pounders, but we re-

For November 6, Acts 21:18-23:2

four days; he had made himself a
transgressor (Gal. 2:18): he had turn
ed again to weak and beggarly ele-
ments (Ga1. 4:9); by participating
in the sacrifices, he had made Christ
of no effect (Gal. $40. He, had act
ed differently here from his conduct
at Philippi Compare Acts 16:22,23).
He had lost his temper; and he
had acted a lie in making these
Pharisees think he was one with
them in their position. How terrible
is, the cost of disobedience! DISC
, bedience, defeat, deceit-these were
| the steps downward. No wonder
they were followed by discourage
| ment.
But oh! how marvellous is the
grace of God! Paul was still His
child, so He appeared to him in a
vision that night and comforted
him, assuring him that His plan for
| Paul to testify at Rome should not
be thwarted. Even though Paul
had disobeyed he was still His
servant, and now that he realized
his mistake and was sorry for it.,
He would still use him in spite of
the efforts to prevent it.
Next day the sixth day Of his
visit to Jerusalem his nephew dis
| covered a plot to kill him; brought
the news to Paul, who had him give
| it to Claudius That night, guarded
by two hundred footmen and sew
enty horsemen, after the city was
quiet, Paul was taken away from
Jerusalem and carried to Caesarea.
| OF his further experiences we will
study next week.
Get This
Paul's six days in Jerusalem
were disastrous. He had gone there
bound in his own spirit (Acts 19),
but forbidden by the Holy Spirit.
| (Acts 21:4). He had failed utterly
in his purpose in going there, and
had done worse-he had comprom-
ised His Lord, he had been defeat
ed in his Christian conduct, and
| had become discouraged. Yet while
he had left God, God had not left
him; but in his hour of deepest
need had proved Himself refuge
and strength, and very present
help in trouble. More wonderful
still, He had still work for Paul
to do, and spared him for it.
What a WONDERFUL amount OIL pd'
tience it must take for God to get
along with me. Have you ever had
a child to do persistently what you
had told him not to do, until you
just felt you would throw the whole
thing up and let him have his own
way no matter what the result
might be? Well, it takes a lot of
patience for parent to get along
with the average child. 1t took a
lot for your parents to get along
with you. How much more must
it take for God to get along with
us. Shall we not thank Him for
His marvellous grace? Let us pray.
