Brief Nature Studies

There is beauty that escapes us because
We cannot see it without miscroscope I'm.
der Richmond, Va, there is a deposit of dia-
tenacious earth extending many miles, and
sometimes forty feet deep. 1t is made up of
tiny flint shells. beautifully colored and
sculptured. of unicellular plants called dia-
toms that lived in past ages. There are living
diatoms in all streams, ponds and seas boat
shaped, triangular, square, or pillhox shaped
moving about in the water like animals
Some are so small only most powerful miscro-
scopes reveal them.
In Santa Barbara county, California, is q
deposit of these shells 2,400 feet thick. In
Massachusetts and New York are thin layers
and thirty-one species of diatoms have beer
found in Croton water and hundreds in the
Great Lakes.
The cells are made up of chlorophyll with
shell of silicious matter, two plates put to-
gether like nussel shell. Cast-off shells Of
past ages. melted by volcanic heat and crys
talizing as flint. were used by our ancestors
for stone arrow heads. Iron mould sand is

Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of
fowls and eggs are imported from Tennessee,
Missouri and other producing centers by Biz
mingham, Mobile, Montgomery and other
Alabama cities which could be supplied from
neighboring territory at lower transportation
and distribution costs. and would keep in
Alabama large sums now going out of the
state annually.
This is the idea and purpose of the new
organization. One hundred thousand hens is
the minimum to be listed in the organization,
which expects to increase the number to three
hundred thousand. It is one of the many
steps towards that character of diversified
ton and home production which, properly
directed and extended, will enable Alabama to
feed and enrich herself.

A SANITARY RESULT

A salutary result that could develop from
the disclosures of mysterious shortages, as
made by the audit at the city hall, would be
realization by the voters that the missing
funds would probably not even pay low
rate of interest on the sums that are annually
lost through waste and inefficient admins
tration in the municipal affairs. If petty
peculation by clerks could arouse such a
commotion, certainly reflection on the wastes
In public expenditures should cause far
RRAater concern.

KEEP THE GAME WARDENS ON

From a practical standpoint it is hard for
the conservationist to grasp the idea or pur-
pose of Governor Brandon in relieving from
duty nearly all of the sixty-seven game war
dens in Alabama for two months, except in
counties where there are fishing streams and
lakes. Since this is the closed season for
hunting. there is all the more reason why the
game wardens should be retained in the in
terest of law enforcement and observance.
Withdrawing the wardens is an invitation to
the lawless.

LIVER TROUBLE
CAUSE OF HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE

Medical science knows that poisonous
waste in our bodies would actually
cause death In few days If not elimi-
mated by Natures processes. Because
it destroys these deadly poisons, the
liver is our most important organ-the
body's wonderful purifier.
The liver prevents the formation of
body poisonsH that cause diseases of the
heart, kidneys. blood vessels and are
chiefly responsible for premature old
age.
When the liver becomes weak, the
poisOns are sucked up by the blood and
health is broken down. Physicians
know that the liver cannot be regulated
by drugs, but safe Nature substance
has been discovered which will al once
increase the vital bile supply. The dis
covery is purified OK gall.
Get from your druggist a package Of
Dioxol. Each tablet contains ten drops
of purified OK gall. In a hours the
poison toxins will be removed Your
liver will be regulated. Blood purifi-
cation will begin. Sallow skin will
clear You will feel so much better
you will know you have found the
cause of your Ill health. Dioxol tablets
are harmless. tasteless and cost less
than two cents each
These genuine OK gall tablets are pre-
pared only under the name ''Dioxol.'
If any tablet is offered you under
another name, refuse it. Accept only
