Liked Midnight Feasts

Liked Midnight Feasts
The conviviality of the dinner table
was anothernof Bernhardt's delights.
She particularly enjoyed a feast at
midnight, after a performance, when
the members Of her company were
present. She drank in moderation, and
seldom touched anything but cham
pagne. She never was known TO
smoke.
Two of the treasures in her Paris
home invariably excited the interest
of visitors. One was the skull given
her by Victor Hugo, of which he had
written autograph verse to the actress
and the other was the coffin In whlch
she occasionally slept. This strange
he'd. she explained, was padded with
memories Of her dead life'-faded
rose leaves and letters yellow with
age.
Planned Own Funeral
She once expressed wish that this
coffin be her final resting place, AND
in 1922 the idea was elaborated upon
when she bought for 500 from the
French government a little granlte
island in the Bay of Biscay not far
from her summer home at Belle lie
where she planned to build magnln-
cent tomb crowned with marble
statue of herself, the arms outstretcn-
ed as If reckoning to harassed nsn-
ermen imperilled by the storms.
Death had a weird fascination tor
Bernhardt, and for years she con-
templated it with what appeared 10
be an uncanny humor The wish she
most often expressed was that she
might die in the midst of her tri-
umphs. II shall play until death she
said. land the death I hope for is the
death Sir Henry Irving died. Her
English contemporary died on tour
being stricken with apoplexy after
performance in 1905. ........
Toward the end of 1922, 1t was
thought this desire might shorten her
life considerably for while she was
dangerously i'll in her Paris home, she
pitted her iron will against the physi-
clans and prepared to resume her part
in a. new play by Sacha Guitry that
she was playing in when stricken.
She felt the end was near, her SICK
room attendants said, and wanted 10
be acting leading role when death
rang down the curtain.

THOUSANDS have kidney
TROUBLE AND never
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly i'll direct
touch with the public. there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in Overcoming these condi-
lions. The mild and healing infu-
ence Of DIR. Kilner's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record OF success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance COM
paries, in an interview of the subject,
made an astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, if you wish first to. test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
", for sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention this paper.

Use Banding Material
to Repel Gypsy Moth

Gypsy moth tree-banding material Is
a greasy and semi-yiscid substance
with a tarlike odor, which is being
used by the bureau of entomology In
It's control work against the gypsy
moth In New England. This material
has been developed since 1915 TO re
place a German product no longer
available, which was formerly used for
the same purpose.
Questions have arisen as 10 whether
the odor or the viscidity Of the mate
rial was the chief element which halted
the caterpillars as they tried TO get
into the trees. The exhalation or odor,
IL was found on investigation, exercises
a restraining influence. but the viscous
or physical condition Is more impOr-
tant as a barrier factor In the band.
Studies made In connection with the
solution of these questions, which have
a practical bearing on the development
Of an efficient barrier, are described in
a professional paper, United States De
partment Of Agriculture Bulletin l142.

Twelve Good Reasons
for Building a Silo

l. More feed can be stored in a
given space in form Of silage than In
form of fodder or hay.
2. A small loss of food material
when a crop is made into silage.
3. Corn silage is a better feed than
corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn or kafir can he
placed into a silo at less cost than the
same area when husked and shredded.
3. Crops can be put in the silo dur
ing weather which could not be utii-
lied for curing fodder or hay.
6. More stock can be kept on a
given area of land when silage Is the
basis of a ration.
Z. Less wasted In feeding silage
than fodder.
8. Silage is very palatable.
8. Silage, like other succulent feeds,
has a beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form In which a succulent feed can be
provided In the winter.
II. Silage q be used for supple.
mentary pasture more cheaply than
can soiling crops, because II requires
less labor and cattle like siiage better.
u. Converting corn or-kafr crops
into silage clears the land and leaves
il ready for another crop.

People to Succeed.

Teams of young Iowa farmers and

They demonstrated butter and
cheese making, caring for milk, max

OF these various processes. The II
booths illustrated IL lines of club

Rosette Disease of
Wheat Is Compared
Difficult to Tell Accurately
Harm Caused by Each.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
The rOSette disease Of wheat. dis
covered In Illinois and Indiana In 1919,
affects wheat seedlings In somewhat
the same way as do the attacks by the
Hessian fly and certain other insect
pests. When the trouble is caused by
insects, their presence or evidence OF
their work serves definitely to show
the nus of the trouble. Wheat seed
lings attacked by rosette disease alone
show no evidence of the presence or
work of insects, ii Is pointed out by
specialists Of the United States De
partment of Agriculture who have been
investigating these wheat maiadies.
The first positive indications of the
rosette disease become evident early
in the spring after the growth of the
healthy plants is well started. Plants
affected by rosette remain dormant In
the spring after the healthy plants
commence their spring growth. IIfest-
ed fields are spotted with irregular
patches Of dwarfed plants, the leaves
of which are dark blue-green in color
and are rather broad and stiff. The
whole plant has a bunchy, rosette ap.
pearance.
When both rosette disease and insect
injuries, especially those by Hesslan
fly, occur together In the spring, II
sometimes IL difficult to determine &C.
curately the injuries caused by each.
AS the rosette disease Is not apparent
in the autumn and as 1t becomes evil
dent In the spring before the emer.
gence of the adult Hessian fly. there
is very little chance 10 confuse the two
maladies during these periods. In the
late spring. however, there Is a posi-
bility of confusion, especially If plants
affected by rosette show. In addition.

 There is the ship subsidy bill still pending which the for calling the special November term. It drags from day to day kicked about from pillar to post and kept the dodge of the time in an apparently futile effort to keep out of the of the Farm Blocs farm credits legislation The latter is also thorn in the side of the Administration which is anxious to do something beneficial for the agrcul- tura industry without committing itself q policy economic heresy. Its conservative program for farm relief has afou of the more radical demands of the bloc and neither to have progressed beyond the initial stages.

The Administrations task of steering a safe between these opposites is not made easier by their determined advocacy of extreme courses. Added to these matters constitutional amendment proposals. Two included in the Ad- nlnistlations own program-elmination of tax exempt securities and child labor constitutional amendment. The third is advanced by some new
