For several years first-aid packages
have been carried on Pullman cars,
but hitherto always in lockers, where,
although secure, they were out Of

they were most needed, the locker
was found to be empty. In order to
make such a condition impossible in

Air Swallowing.

Most persons who have ever had any,
thing to do with horses know how
much trouble often results from the
bad habit of wind sucking, or "crib-
bing." That the same condition may
exist in person is seldom realized.
Many persons suffer for years from
fatulent dyspepsia that PERSISTS in
spite of all they can do and that baf-
files the skill of the family doctor if he
does not recognize the cause. One
article of food after another is SUI
spected of being the cause of the
dyspepsia" and is dropped from the
dietary until finally the sufferer is al
most on starvation rations and yet
has obtained no relief. In cases of
this kind it is we'll to consider whether
air swallowing may not be the cause.
Air swallowing may occur only at
meal time, or it may occur at any time.
When air is swallowed at meals the
trouble will begin very soon, some
times even before the meal is finished
or indeed scarcely begun. The suffer
er will feel "full" and perhaps accuse
himself of having overeaten when real
ly he has eaten little. The feeling
Of distention is most uncomfortable
yet it hardly amounts to pain, and soon
after the meal the sufferer belches a
large volume of gas and at once feels
great relief. Persons who swallow
air continuously suffer with abdomin-
al distention and with more or less
pain almost without intermission.
The condition that air swallowing
causes may be distinguished from true
natulcnt dyspepsia or from ulcer of
the stomach by its occurring immedi-
ately after or during the meal; where
as eral indigestion. whether from ulcer
or from other cause, comes at an ap-
probable interval after eating. In adj
dition to the distress of the stomach air
swallowing may cause serious heart
disturbances such as an irregular
pulse, pain over the heart, palptatlon
and even false angina pectoriS. Inc
cure rests on recognizing the cause
and then breaking the habit.

,-,o-dinr TO Investigations conducted
-. Professor |. S. Cook, of West Vir-
r;,;, University on some two hundred
farms in Cilmer, Harrison, Nicholas,
psr5leton. Upshur and Wayne coun-
ties. If properly cared for, Professor
Cook regards the pasture grass as
West Virginia's most valuable crop,
since the income from the livestock
industry is in almost direct relation
~ the conditions of the pastures. The
Investigations conducted in these
counties will be shown in a bulletin
10 he printed soon by the West Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station, call
ed west Virginia Pastures"
Much valuable information to farm
ers IS contained in this bulletin. The
surrey of these six counties showed
that it required about four acres of
PASTURE to Craze a COW, and a little
more for a three-year- steer. An
acre of pasture, worth S34 produces
70 pounds gain on such a steer. Few
farmers considered it necessary to fur.
nish more than two and a-half acres
per animal. More than. eighty PEP
cent of the stock was turned out on the
pasture before May 5th, contrary~to
the recommendations that stock be
kept on the pasture until the grass had
time to get we'll started, usually about
the lOth to the 18th of May.
Another cause of poor pastures was
found to be cropping previous to es-
tablishinG a permanent pasture and
frequent breaking up of pasture land
for cropping. The surface washing of
the land during cropping removes
large amount of the accumulated
humus and makes the following pas
ture thin, of course.
To build up pasture land, an appl-
cation of clover and grass seed with
acid phosphate may be given profitably
to bare and broken sod portions of the
pasture. Lime, in addition to these,
may produce further Improvement in
some instances, although most tests
where it has been applied to perma-
nent pastures has given negative re-
suits, especially when applied without
fertiizng materials.
Narrowing and lining blue grass
pasture did not bring about any i'm
Proyement. Narrowing, sowing clover
and grass seed, and lining gave un-
satisfactory results, although an ap-
pI!caton of complete fertilizer along
with these three treatments produced
SuflcIent growth of clover to effect a
marked Improvement.
An application of clover and grass
SEED with acid phosphate gave equally
1S satisfactory results as the complete
FERTILIZER on a thin pasture sod with
much less cost.

MAKING OLD ROADS PAY

Building roads is one of the most
Important functions of state and
county government today.
Inmany instances in the past poll
ties have played too large a part IN
our road building program. This,
however, is being rapidly eliminated
under road building plans which pro-
vide Tor the building of trunk righ-
ways that take the shortest route
tlat will accommodate the greatest
amount OF traffic.
The completion of these roads at
great expense on what is virtually
a railroad grade encourages the
construction of permanent highways
radiating from the trunk roads TO
outlying committees.
1t will be financial suicide for the
average county to start surfacing its
rural highways with from to 8
inches of pavement such as adopted
for trunk highways.
Old water bound macadam pave
ments of which there are hundreds
of miles in every state, while not
suitable for present day motor We
hicle traffic make satisfactory bases
for an asphaltic concrete surface.
Hundreds of thousands of square
yards of this character of pavement
from to 8 inches thick is now be-
ing laid as hard sudface covering
over those old roads bases, thus util-
izing the excellent supporting
strength of the old road for a DUR
able wearing surface at a much
smaller cost than if the old base
were torn up.
1t is estimated that since January
1921, $50 miles of this character Of
surfacing has been laid on top of n.y.
draulic concrete pavements in Cali
fornia to save the base from destruc-
ton.
By adopting this policy thousands
Of miles Of roads in these western
states can be made to give the max
imum of service for the original in
lvestment in grade and base at a |
moderate cost for wearing surface

The spi.aI Sermon.

London is full of quaint customs and
observances, for anyone who has the
enterprise and the industry to hunt
them out. In accordance with ancient
custom, the lord mayor and the alder
men, and the governors of the royal
hospitals have been in state to Christ
church, Newgate street, to hear the
"Spital Sermon" The discourse has
gone on for centuries. 1t originated
in an old custom by which the bishop
of London appointed some learned
cleric to deliver sermon at Pauls
cross on Good Friday, MS a prelude to
three sermons on the resurrection, to
be given at the pulpit cross in the
SpitaI on the following Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday by a bishop,
dean, and a doctor of divinity, re-
spectively.

Cutting Seaweed.

The harvest of the seaweed crop
In Holland has become in recent
years more important than ever be-
fore and the islands in the northern
part of Zuyder Zee are more carefully
cleaned than they have been. The
natives formerly cut the growth loose
by means of an ordinary scythe NOV
ing along through the water at low
tide, but this has become too slow
and now they make use of a series OF
knives mounted on a line which they
pull back and forth. After the growth
has been cut it is spread on the beach
to dry and its commercial value Is de-
termined by the intensity Of the color
which 1t takes on during the drying
process, says the Brooklyn Daily
