The Invisible Rays.

DIR. Alfred F. Hess, a child special
of the ultraviolet rays, suggests that
infants can be exposed to the sun
during the late Fall and milder days
of Midwinter to a greater extent than
is the custom. He adds that there is
limitation to such ultra violet ray
treatment and this is exaggerated by
the instructive fear Of mothers and
nurses of exposing babies to the cold
and wind
DR.. Hess goes on to say that this
exposure to sunlight has not proved
sufficient, in the Winter time, to
prevent or cure ricketts,, in his eX-
perience. There are so many days in
the late Fall and Winter when there
is little or no sunshine in his climate
or when the sun is overcast at
midday.
1t seems that the direct sunlight
contains the greatest proportionate
amount of the ultraviolet Gnvisible)
rays about midday, and the proper
tion of these rays dwindles relatively
early in the afternoon, long before the
light of the sun seems lessened. This
is fact which every amateur photog
rapher learns from experience. The
invisible or ultraviolet rays are Nthe
rays which act on the Photographic
plate or film; they are responsible for
the formation of pigment in the skin
(tanning) they bring about a marked
increase in the lymphocytes lone kind
of white corpuscle) in the blood; they
probably increase the activity of the
parathyroid gland; they prevent and

called tetany mot tetanuS1
The dust and moisture of the at
mosphere absorb ultraviolet rays and
prevent them from reaching the sur
face of the earth. Mist, fog and
smoke intercept the ultraviolet rays

Hair Tonics.

The best tonic the hair can get is
sunshine If YOU want to do your
scalp a lot Of good. and have glossy,
hair, try this. Sit out in the
bright sunshine for at least half an
hour once or twice a week Let your
hair hang and part it first one place
and then another with a comb. so not
only the hair but the scalp Is exposed
to the sun. Even when YOU go bare
headed and with bobbed hair, the sun
does not reach the scalp. 1t is the
scalp, rather than the hair, that you
treat with your sun bath.
This is best if done after sham
poo, and is an excellent way TO dry
the hair. It is impossible in this
small space to go into the curative
properties of the sun. But it is the
finest medicine there is.
This is a Summertime treatment.

so long as enough of them went
down that long neck of his he felt
good natured.
But with the coming of the six
young kinEfishers everything was
changed 1t wasn't that the six young
Kingfshers required so many more
fish. 1t wasn't that at all 1t was the
fact that in learning to catch them the
young kiuEtishers were so awkward
and so clumsy that they frightened
many times as many as they caught.
Time and again Longlegs, standing
mOtiOuleSs in the water, would see a
school Of little fish swimming straight
toward him. He would stand notion

tween his shoulders ready to be shot
forward the instant those fish came

there would be a gathering rattle be-
hind him and splash in among those
little fish would go one OF the King
fisher Youngsters. Then up he would
come, sometimes with a fish and some
times without, while that school of
little fishes would be scattered in every
direction.
Day after day this happened and
Longlegs said nothing. But at last he
lost his temper. one of those young
Kingfshers caught little fish almost
under Longlegs' very bill. 1t was
more than he could stand. Like light
ming his long, sharp bill shot forward
and down 1t was fortunate for that
young Kingtisher that he was just
beyond reach. As it was, he dropped
the fish he had just caught and with
n scream OF fright flew to a tree on

trouble was about. When the fright

Sprigs in Grapefruit.
We are accustomed to adding leaves
of mint to bevera ges, but to serve
mint with fruit except in salads, is
another matter altogether. However
in this we can, take a hint from our
English cousins, who have a dainty
method of combining mint sprigs with
grapefruit. After the grapefruit has
been cut in half, the core removed
the pulp loosened and sugared, the
English cooks stick a wee spray of
mint in the center of each half where
the core was. The decoration is most
attractive, and the faint fragrance of
mint that the leaves supply gives a
piquancy to the grapefruit that is de-
cIdedly refreshing.
Let me suggest that mint be added
to lamb sandwiches and other meat
sandwiches when q picnic basket is
being made ready. Use it sparingly,
but give the filings just a soupcon.
Take along a few sprigs of mint.
They will be found welcome additions
to soft drinks brought for the lunch

cold water and wrap in para1fine
paper before tucking into the lunch

TEXAS OFFERS
UNEQUALLED
INVESTMENT
Wonderful Opportunities
Await Outside Money,
Says J. E. Jarratt.

While there is an increasing flow
OF outside money into Texas, par
ticularly for the past few years, few
people realize the wonderful oppor-
tunities for safe investment in this
state. We all know Texas is COM
paratiyely new state in so far as
her development is concerned.
Practically all of the development
in Texas, particularly as TO agricul-
ture, has been since the Civil War,
and while today Texas has in cultiva.
tion more than twenty-sevcn million
acres Of land, yielding in dollar value
an average of approximately one bill
lion dollars annually in farm products
alone, this twenty-seven million acres
of land represent less than one-half
of the available plow lands. One
will see at a glance that with the vast
areas undeveloped. there will be for
many years to come q big demand for
capital to be used in placing these
lands in cultivation, and making other
Improvements. In connection with
this, when you take into consideration
that the average debt on the farm
lands in Texas is less than so per
acre, and which IS much less than that
of many other states on their farm
lands producing less per acre in dol
lar value, you will note that there is
demand for money for the further
Improvement and development of lands
now in cultivation.
LAND VALUE.
In order that the reader may gain
an idea at a glance of the compare
tive yields of several of our leading
states, / am giving you below some
figures. In the last list Of figures
YOU will note the debt per acre of
some of the states, according TO the
government report of 1920.
Ihe average value of plow lands
in four of the leading agricultural
states taken from the report of the
Department of Agriculture for 1924,
is as follows:
Iowa $143 per acre.
Illinois S120 per acre.
Ohio $50 per acre.
Texas 70 per acre.
The average yield per acre on cul-
tivated lands in dollar value of these
states for 1923 is as follows:
Texas $4S.13 per acre.
Illinois $21.97 per acre.
Iowa $21.00 per acre.
Ohio $2S.25 per acre..
According to the government re.
port Of 1920, the debt on owner-op-
Grated farms was as follows:
Texas .............$ $50 per acre
Ohio ............... 1896 per acre
Illinois ............. 1884 per acre
Iowa ............... 63.19 per acre
