Cats Alike Fond of

The glare of limelight that recently

SPECIAL LEGISLATURE TALK
'The Very Last Thing in My Mind, .
Said Governor Robinson

Efforts are being made to call
special session of the Legislature for
the purpose of putting through
school building program and of MAX
ing changes in the school tax law, but
it is not believed that the movement
will be successful. There has been
dissatisfaction in certain circles since
the legislature repealed the filing fee
law without submitting anything to
take its place. If a special session
should be called, something would be
done, if possible, to have a source of
revenue placed in the law in lieu of
the filing fee and efforts would be
made to clear up some other sections
of the tax law about which there ap-
pears to be a difference of opinion
Rumor has it that there is also some
dissatisfaction among certain persons
with the school building program as
adopted by the legislature.
Members of the Wilmington school
board are dissatisfied with the ruling
made by the State Board of Education
under which Wilmington will lose
about $4,000 a year in revenue, but
so far as is known, was not back of
this movement to call a special ses-
sion of the legislature.
When spoken to in reference to the
matter, Governor Robert P. Robinson

movement was on foot and he had

are classed as "officinals."
Some are valued, for example. as
febrifuges, chief of which, of course,
is the Peruvian bark or cinchOna, To
which the world owes the priceless
boon of Quinine.
A second class includes those which
exert a cathartic or laxative effect,
and Of these the most highly priced Is
the bark OF the graceful little buck
thorn tree found in California, and
known by its Spanish name Of cas-
cara sagrada (sacred bark).
A third class includes those which
stimulate the flow of one or another
of the secretions of the body. such as
the saliva, gastric juice, perspiration.

Others are soothing in nature, such
as an infusion of slippery elm, and
many may be used for preparing
soothing drafts in cases of sore
throats, etc. Still others are said

Rites Severe Strain
on Physical Strength

When Hindu pilgrims visit a sacred
place they go around the spot by a
continuous series Of prostrations.
They carry stone in their hands
and when they drop on the ground
they stretch their arms out as far as
possible and leave the stone on the
ground so as to measure their length.
Then they arise, walk the six or
seven feet to the stone, and pick It up.
Again they PROSTATE themselves,
leave the stone, arise, and so on until
they have returned to the starting
point.
Many Of the circuits are more than
three miles in length, and it requires
an entire day to make the whole trip.
Each mile usually requires one
thousand prostrations, and when
devotee has dropped three thousand
times he Is so nearly dead that he
rolls over In the dirt to the side of
the road and rests there until the next
day.

ton as the best feed investment a
dairyman can make in summer.
They emphasize the fact that grass
alone is not enough"-that no COW
can possibly eat enough pasturage
straight through the summer to get
the nourishment she needs.
OF course. it would be folly to
advise any dairyman not to use the
pasture that nature provides. When
grass is plentiful and fresh. it is
the best possible ration to supple
ment grain. Cows ike it. 1t tones
them up and stimulates the diges-
tive apparatus.
But that dairyman is unwise who
feeds pasture to the exclusion of
grain, for sooner or later the INSULT
cient diet is going to show its bad
effects on body weight, condition
and milk flow. Feed your cows. at
least one pound of grain for each
five pounds Of milk they produce,
even with the best pasture. It win
pay dividends later In the year.
