Shall the Navy's Pride End
GAS a Tin Lizzie 2"

The latest proposition as to what
shall be come of the battleships if
the disarmament program is carried
out, comes from Henry Ford, and he
makes the proposition that he shall
buy the worlds discarded battleships
and transform them into tractors, au-
tomobiles, and other things that add
to the joy and comfort of life. So if
the Hughes proposition goes through
the nations of the world are likely to
receive an offer from the always en-
terlrising Henry for their discarded
ships.
Mr.. Ford says that large sums of
money are spent in getting ores out
of the ground whep there are large
quantities of high grade steel in war
ships that can be cut up for COM
mercial uses by the acetylene torch
and electricity and converted into i'm
plements of peace.
The Birmingham Age Herald in
speaking of this subjectNsays:
"Thus far Mr.. Ford's proposal is
practical. However, the world powers
will hardly turn over their nayies to
hin. entirely. The millennium is still
distant and the edifying spectacle of
the Detroit manufacturer buying the
navies of America, Great Britain
and Japan outright will never be wit
messed. Something of the sort may
come to pass in the dim and distant
future, but not now or hundred
years from now.
Nevertheless, here is Mr.. Ford
ready to take over any amount of
excess tonnage, speed up industry,
give employment to thousands of men
who may suffer if the naval reduc-
tion plans are carried out, and make
countless tractors and flivvers grow
where there were only useless battle
ships before Augusta Chronicle.

LIVE STOCK FLY REPELLENT
Care Should Be Exercised to Prevent
Getting Mixture Too Strong,
Causing Hair Shedding.

When mixing a repellent to put on
the live, stock to keep the flies away,
care should be taken to prevent get
ting too strong a mixture. It may
cause shedding of the hair. The tol-
lowing mixture has been found by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture to give good results for a
short time where applied lightly but
thoroughly: One gallon Of fish oil,
two ounces of oil Of pine tar, two
ounces Of oil of pennyroyal and one
half pint of kerosene. The horses

preparation.

HENS IN GoosEBERRY PATCH
Fowls VIII Do Nun Toward Clear.
Ing Out Eruit-Worm From un.
der Trash In Garden.

One gooseberry insect we have with
us that isn't easy to control is the
fruit worm. It doesn't 'often become
a serious pest but occasionally 1t has
been known to take whole crop.
The worm eats into the partly grown
berry and feeds on the pulp. Hand
picking is still the method used to hold
this worm in check. Poultry ought to
be turned into the gooseberry patch
after the fruit is picked, as the hens
will do a lot toward clearing the
worms from under the trash. Poultry
and fruit are good combination
when run right.

The Speech That We Speak.

"Better speech week" has come
and gone. Its object is to arouse the
nation of evils of slovenly speech
careless enunciation, ungrammatical
construction, mispronunciation, the
use of slang, and poor choice OF
words.
AS the Literary Digest states it, a
great many Of disappointed men and
women can testify that inability to
talk clearly and forcefully has been
to them a severe social and business
handicap. Mr.. H. Addington Bruce,
the well-known author, observes that
"there are men today in inferior po-
sition who long ago would have COM
manded good salaries if they had only
taken the trouble to overcome reme-
diable speech defects. Strange how
careful people are about dress-how
sure that dignity and good taste in
dress help to make ones success in
getting on in the world-and at the
same time how careless these same
people are about speech, which is the
dress of the mind"
We are told that "Better Speech
Week, serves one of two purposes. 1T
may be an intensive campaign for
calling the attention of the communi-
ty to the need of speech improve
ment, or it may have definite place
in a years program for developing
power in speaking" In any case it
becomes a time for self-examination
in speech and for pledges similar to
the following, written by Grace Will
Hanson Winet of the Chicago Wo-
mems Club:
Il love the United States of Amer
lea. I love my country's flag, love
my country's language. l promise:
/. That will not dishonor my
country's speech by leaving off the
last syllables Of words;
2. That will say good Ameri-
can yes and no. instead of an In
dian grunt 'unhum' and 'nupum' of
foreign 'ya' or 'yeh' and 'nope;;'
8. That I will improve American
speech by enunciating distinctly and
by speaking pleasantly and sincerely;
q. That I will try to make my
country's language beautiful for the
many boys and girls of foreign ma
tions who come here to live;
a. That will learn to articulate
correctly one word day for one
year.
"Better Speech Week" can accom-
plish permanent results only if it in
spires its observers to all-year care
in the matter of pure English; only if
it causes everyone to keep the pow
ers of the mind invariably in tone
and training by being ever vigilant
against The enemies of American
speech. And this means more than to
talk dramatically and to enunciate
clearly. 1t requires the more dis

Use X-Ray as Cure For Pull
monary Consumption.

INOI1dIy SOuSuAuPSAOhs
Paris, Nov. 1S.-Dr. Ivan Manouk-
hin, young Russian physician,
known for some years as the Pasteur
Institute here, claims to have dis
covered, by way of X-rays, the long
sought cure, not only of pulmonary
consumption but of tuberculosis gen
orally and of other infectious diseas-
es whose elimination depends on the
successful prosecution in the blood
itself of the war against the invading
microbe.
DR.. Manoukhin set out his method
and the results obtained by him in
the fullest detail before the Society
for the Study of tuberculosis here,
but his paper was in language so
technical that I asked him, when l
found him with his friend, DR.. Donat,
to give me the essential facts in few
words easily understood by the unin-
structed layman. This he kindly did.
Gendarmerie of the Blood.
"It is generally known" he told
me, ''that the work of the white cor
puscles in the blood is to supply
sort of gendarmerie for the elimina-
tion of disease germs. Between them
and the enemy an unceasing strug-
gle is going on, and health cannot be
maintained or restored unless the
white corpuscles have definitely the
upper hand. The cure of infectious
disease depends therefore, on the re-
enforcement of the white corpuscles,
and this again depends on the release,
into the blood of certain soluble fer
ments which / call leucocytolysins.
Years ago / was able to show that
these ferments are produced by the
spleen, and it is by increasing the &C
tivity of the spleen by radiating the
organ with small doses of the Roent-
gen rays that claim to bring about
the cure"
Remarkable Record.
The war called the doctor to Rus
sia. In all, s,171 cases were treated
by these radiation of the spleen, and
of these, he told me proudly, only
sixty-eight, or a good deal less than
per cent, died.
Since he returned to Paris few
months ago DR.. Manoukhin has had
twenty-five patients under treat
ment. They have all been attendants
at the clinic of DR.. Donat, who told
me that all were of the poorer class.
One is a postman, another a taxi
driver, third baker, whose cir
cumstances do not allow them to give
such care as is possible
with some patients.
81 have nothing to do with the ac-
tual treatment" said DR.. Donat. 81
recommend the cases simply, DR.. Ma
aplpies the rays, and l OBJ
servt, the results. Of twenty-five cas-
es fourteen were in the secondary
state, and after four months, or
slightly less believe can say that
these are cured. The other cases are
more serious and will need continued
of the rays, but you
can say that all are much improved
and going on WELL"
