fifty pounds of manure day. about

A horse weighing 1,G00 pounds is

SEEING IN THE DARK

VX|HY can some people see better
wv in the dark than others? Why
can some animals, especially cats and
their second cousins, lions and tigers,
as well as owls, see clearly at night?
We know, by common observation,
that these differences exist but no
careful investigation of them has
been made until recently.
Curiously enough, the subject has
been taken up by physician in the
British navy in an effort to discover
ways in which the night vision Of Of
ficers and seamen in the navy can be
improved. Night Is the time Of great
est danger at sea. Electric search
lights are Of great value in lighting
up objects, If one knows where to
look. But It Is impossible to light up.
the whole ocean and even II 1t were
possible, searchlights are almost as
dangerous as they are helpful. for they
are Just as much service to the enemy
in revealing the presence of ones own
ship. To the officer In charge, the
wheelsman or the lookout, they are apt
to be confusing.
In recent issue of the Proceedings
of the Royal Society Of Medicine. DR..
Sidney Russ reports some interesting
experiments he has made.
Doctor Russ found that the human
eye could see better at night If 1t had
rested during the day and had been
protected from the bright sunlight or
from strong artificial light. This ex-
plains why animals with keen sight in
the dark instinctively rest during the
day in dark places. The owl, whose
ability to see at night is well known,
rests during the day in the darkest
place he can 1nd. Tigers hide during
the day in the depths of dark caves.
resting the eyes so that they can see
best in the darkest night. 1t has been
found that lookouts and watchmen
can see best at night If they spend
the day resting and sleeping in dark
rooms.
Doctor Russ also found that there is
a marked difference in the eyes Of diff
ferent persons. Sunlight. when broken
up by prism, is made up of violet.
indigo, blue. green. yellow, orange, and
red. The violet rays are the shortest
and the red rays the longest. The
yellow rays, which are the greatest in
number in sunlight and daylight, are
also the rays of medium length and
consequently those which most eyes
can see. while the violet rays. which
are the shortest and which are most
common at night, are those which en-

dark and are also those which are Of
the most value to owls. tigers and

Nitrogen in Oak Leaves

Oak leaves contain but a little less
nitrogen than stable manure, but this
nitrogen is not very available, and the
leaves are quite sour. They should be
mixed with lime and well worked over.
Then combination of three parts by
weight Of fine bone and one part of
muriate of potash mixed with the
leaves will give a fair substitute for
manure. If you have but few toma-
TO plants use one of the mixed goods.
If the acreage Is large it may pay
to buy the chemicals and mix at home.

REST IN TUBERCULOSIS

TN THE twenty-five years since 1900,
= most of our knowledge of tubercu-
losis and practically all our knowledge
of successful methods of its treatment
have developed. Many medicines Of
different kinds have been used. None
of them has been found to be of any
real value. Many different kinds Of
serum have been tried. Not one has
come up to the expectations and
claims of its discoverer. Every few
months, the newspapers announce that
some one whOSis or who claims to be
ain authority on tuberculosis has found
a new cure of wanderful value. None
Of these has ever fulfilled the promises
Of its promoters.
So after centuries Of ignorance and
quarter of century Of investigation,
our knowledge Nof the treatment Of
consumption can be told in u few
words. Outdoor air; sunlight; food
and rest.
7 And the greatest and most impor-
tant of these is rest. 1t is also the
one which apparently is most difficult
for the patient to take or at least take
effectively. Tell the incipient or the
convalescing consumption patien: that
he must stay outdoors q certain num-
Der OF hours day. that he must sleep
with windows wide open, that he must
get all the sunlight possible and that
ne must eat certain amounts Of certain
foods everya day and he will probably
obey. ButFtell him that rest Is the
most important treatment and he will
too often follow his impulse and his
feelings rather than his instructions.
Especially is this true Of the patient
who Is recovering. His fever is prac-
ticaIly gone; his cough is disappear.
ing; he is gaining weight. The holes
In, his lungs are closing up, he feels
new life and energy. He's tired Of
"iying around" Then, too, the dis
ease itself is strangely and peculiarly
stimulating. It has often been re-
marked. by students of tuberculosis,
that the very poison of this disease
acts like a stimulant on the human
bVuy unQ
So the patient wants to be up and
doing. And right there is the danger.
He doesn't know the limits of his own
strength. Often he may undo in a
day or an hour the slow gain of weeks
and months.
Here's where the home treatment
of tuberculosis fails down. The con-
sumptive at home may have plenty Of
good air, sunlight and food. But I'M
less his rest, work and play are care
fully supervised by some one who
knows just what 1t is safe for him
to do, he may ruin the good effects Of
months of self-control and self-denial
by a'single hours indiscretion.
For this reason a consumptive is
better of at good sanitarium than
anywhere else.

NEW RULING GIVES
j. P. JURISDICTION

The office of Justice of the Peace
in Idaho has been given more oppor-
tvnity to exercise its authority, so
far as the liquor laws are concerned,
by the law passed by the last legis-
lature which gives the officer of JUS
tice of the Peace and the probate
Judge the authority to pass SEN
tence of $500 fine and six months
term in Jail for the possession of Ii
quor.
The new law does not. give these
officers jurisdiction in the case o.
sale and manufacture, but just pos
session.
Previous to the enactment of this
law. it has been necessary for all
such cases to be brought before the
Probate Judge or the Justice of the
Peace and their jurisdiction was lin
tied to binding the defendant over.
With the office of Justice OF the
Peace active in practically avery pre-
cir.ct in the state the Jail population
has an opportunity of becoming In
creased.

was tried at Pocatello before a JUS

persons as the equal of that great
western classic, 1.-The Coverer Wag-
on" also a Paramount production.
Like "The Covered Wagon"
North of Sc" was written by the late
Emerson Hough, and (also like 1.-THE
Covered Wagon') deals with phase
of the historical development OF the
West. with the same powerful appeal
to the heart of the children OF pion-
GERS.
The story is that of the first great
cattle drive from Texas to the ter
minus of the Union Pacific line at
Abilene, Kansas. in the early seven
ties. The dramatic and romantic
Journey from the Lockhart ranch in
Texas to the little Kansas Cow town"
forms the core of one of the greatest
stories ever flashed on the screen.
Appearing in the cast of North OF
So" are: Jack Holt, Lois Wilson, En-
nest Terrence, Noah Berry and other
players of note.
Your attendance at the showing of
North of So" will be repaid with In
terest, for you will have the pleasure
of seeing an unexcelled romance OF
action and love, with many novel fea-
lures that place North of Sc" IN
