Never Take Medicine,
Pharmacist, "a, Urges

In one Of the oldest parts Of
Rome Zone Of the oldest cities in
the wOrld), is to be found the old
est pharmacy in Italy, presided over
by the Oldest pharmacist of Italy.
Founded in the Sixteenth century
by monks, it was operated under
religious auspices until 1870, when
1t came into the possession of the
Piato family, which has conducted
the pharmacy from that day to this
200 years in a single family. The
store furniture and all the equip
ment are centuries old. Presiding
over this venerable establishment
in the Piazza della Maddalena is
DIR. Rec0le Scaletta, who at eighty
four years of age is rounding out
his sixty-second year of service
there. Doctor Scaletta works IA
hours daily, as he has for three
score years. So vigorous is Doctor
Scaletta that one would think him
twenty years younger than his ac-
tual age. Asked for his formula
for longevity and good health, Doc
tor Scaletta genially replied that
his first principle is never to take
medicine! He drinks a half liter
Of wine and smokes two cigars
daily. EAT heartily and take a
bath daily" is another of the cOun-
sells of this veteran pill dispenser
in an establishment which might
well be one of the sights Of the
Eternal city.

Ancient Writers Had
Idea of Punctuation

Our present system Of punctua.
+, ton, which divides written Ian.
guage into sections by means of
various signs and points, may be
said to have grown out Of a system
developed by Aldus Manutius, an
Italian scholar and printer, who
printed Greek classics on his press
at Venice in the latter part of the
Fifteenth century and the begin.
ming Of the Sixteenth. Manutius
was born in 1850 and died in 1915.
1t should not be supposed, how
ever, that Manutius was the sole
inventor of punctuation, although
the main features of the modern
system are due chiefly to his ingenu-
ity and that of the Greek scholars
employed by him. Among the later
Greeks various dots had been used
for oratorical purposes. Aristo-
planes, Greek grammarian of Alex.
andria who died about $50 or 1876
B. c., is said to have devised sys-
TEN Of punctuation by means OF
dots.
Prose punctuation Of a crude
type was probably used even be-
fore the time of Aristophanes. In
the early part of the Ninth CEN
fury these earlier systems were so
completely forgotten that Charlie
magne requested scholars to revive
them. st. Jerome, who died 400
A. D., knew nothing whatever about

Effect of Light on
Flowers and Plants

Spring viofets have been made to
bloom in the summer simply by cut
ting down their ration Of daylight
to the length of a spring day. The
extra heat of summer had no eff
feet on the growth of the plant.
In this controlling Of plant
growth, artificial light has the same
effect as sunlight or the light Of a
greenhouse, and twelve hours Of
light (whether natural or artificial)
is summertime" for the plants, and
six hours light "winter."
An experiment conducted with
iris is given as an example Of the
effect of light rationing on plants.
Two lots of iris were sown in late
October; the first were given eight
cen hours of light per day, while
the others (kept in the same tenn
perature) received only the light
provided by nature. The first lot
reached normal size very quickly,
and actually bl0omed on Christmas
day, but the others were dormant
as late as the following February.

Dairy Cow Must Have
Highly Nutritious Feed
Feeding Program Should Include
Abundance of Legume Rough
age and Corn Silage

The milking cow is the hardest
working animal on the farm, says
the Blue Valley Creamery Insti-
tute in discussing the Importance
of good feeding for dairy cows. A
cow giving 35 pounds of milk a
day produces in that milk what is
known as 1914 therms of energy.
To produce the same number OF
therms in the form of useful work,
a team of two 1500-pound horses
would have to work steadily for
eight hours.
AS the only way cow can OBJ
tain energy to put into her milk is
through the feed she eats, her feed
must be highly nutritious and
fed in sufficient quantities so that
her body requirements as well as
her full needs for maximum milk
production are met. The success
full dairy farmer bases his winter
feeding program on an abundance
of legume roughage such as al
falfa or other legume hay, and corn
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1929-04-25

1t is well, also, to remember an
other paragraph in the traffic law,
which says:
"No person shall operate or halt
any vehicle upon highway care
lessly Or heedlessly in disregard of
the rights of others or in a manner
so as to endanger or be likely to
endanger any person or property.
"Any person whN drives any
vehicle upon a highway in willful
and wanton disregard of the rights
or safety of others and in a manner
so as to endanger or be likely to
endanger any person shall be gull
ty of a gross misdemeanor."
The recent amendment will
protect motorists from being fined
for driving 40 miles an hour when
such speed endangered no one. But
reading the other provisions in the
law, it is clear that i gives no one
a license to drive at a dangerous
speed. After all, the one safe
rule, although it is not in the law,
is this: "Keep your car under con-
troll so you can stop in the clear
space ahead"

Queens Watch

One of the oldest timepieces in
the world belonged to Mary Queen
of Scots, who felt a superstitious
aversion to it and gave it to Mary
Seaton, one of her maids of honor,
who gave it in turn to Sir Thomas
Dick Lauder. 1t was in the shape
of a skull; the forehead was en-
graved with a scythe and an hour
glass between a palace and a cot
tage, signifying that time and death
made no distinctions. At the back
of the skull a figure of Time was
pictured spreading destruction over
the world, and on the top appeared
Eve and the serpent in the Garden
of Eden, and the Crucifxion.

slage. So that he may be sure to
have these roughages available
next winter he is already making
his plans for substantial acreage
in alfalfa or one of the other le-
gumes for hay this spring. An
acre for each cow in milk will grow
enough alfalfa hay to keep these
cows well supplied with the very
best dry roughage from late fall
to early spring. The growing OF
about one acre and a half of the
other legumes will be required to
keep milking cow Swen supplied
with hay during the same feeding
period.
In winter feeding hay is usually
fed at the rate of 1 " pounds for
each 100 pounds the cow weighs
Silage is generally fed at the rate
of 21s to 31a pounds for each
100 pounds of the animals weight
Grain should always Ibe fed accord
ing to the cows milk production
The larger breeds, such as the Ayr
shire, Brown Swiss and Holstein
are fed one pound of grain to
each 81 to pounds of milk
produced daily. The smaller
breeds, as the Guernseys and Jer-
seys, are usually fed grain at
the rate of 1 pound to each 8
pounds of milk produced daily.

Read Traffic Law Before
Speeding, is Good Advice
As Mile Limit Rule of Evidence
Traffic and Road Condition
Will Govern

MSpeed limit raised to As miles
an hour" the headlines informed
us recently. But before we "step
on it," it might be well to read the
rest of the traffic law. A Highway
bulletin calls attention to this
paragraph, the most important in
the section relative to speed:
"Any person driving a vehicle on
highway shall drive the same at
speed not greater than is rea-
sonable and proper, having due
regard to the traffic, the surface
and width of the highway, and of
any other conditions then exist
ing"
The next paragraph was amend
ed by changing "35" to "45" in
the last line, but otherwise was
not changed. AS it stands now,
it is declared prima facie evidence
that a driver is going at a speed
greater than is reasonable and
proper, if he goes more than:
Fifteen miles an hour when ap-
preaching within fifty feet of a
steam or electric railway crossing
where the view is INSTRUCTED, with
in fifty feet of highway intersec-
ton where the view is DISTRACTED,
when passing school house dur
ing recess or when children are
coming or going to school, or in
going around curves where the
view is INSTRUCTED.
Twenty miles an hour in the
closely built up or congested por-
tions of a municipality, where traf-
fic is controlled by traffic officers
or traffic control devices.
Fifteen miles an hour on other
streets in the closely ibuilt-up OF
congested districts.
Twenty miles an hour in the res
idence districts of municipality
Forty five miles an hour undo,
all other conditions.
The first paragraph clearly puts
the responsibility on the driver to
see that he maintains safe speed.
The second is merely a rule of evil
dence. If "a person goes faster than
these speeds, the burden of proof
is on him, in case of accident OF
arrest, to show that it was safe
speed under the circumstances. II
he keeps within these speeds, the
burden of proof is on the prosecu.
ton.

Appropriate Designation

"Amerind is a telescope word
composed of the first syllables of
America" and INDIAN" and is q
general term used to designate the
races Of man who inhabited the
New.world before the arrival of Eu-
ropeans. 1t was suggested in 1899
by Maj. ]. w. Powell, director Of
the bureau of American ethnology,
who advocated it as a convenient
substitute for the numerous awk-
ward and inappropriate terms ap-
piled to the aborigines of America.
"Amerind" is pronounced "am-er-
ind" with the accent on the first
syllable.

of newly opened ael> rome.
! On this particular afternoon par
achute practice was being under
taken by a number of pilots, and
the official asked question after
question Of one man about his expe-

through the air.
"But supposing your parachute
fails to open when you are coming
DOWN." he asked finally. what
do you do then?"
The pilot had had more than
enough by this time.
"Take it back and change it," he
replied very tersely.

The lock, 511 inches long, is of

the Romans, though the principle
must have come from Egypt and

Eyerything for the Right

Contempt of all outward things
which come in competition with
duty fulflls the ideal of human
greatness. This conviction, that
readiness to sacrifice life's highest
material good and life itself, is es-
sential to the elevation Of human
nature, is no illusion of ardent
youth, nor outburst Of blind en-
thusiasm. It does not yield to grow
ing wisdom. 1t is confirmed by all
experience. 1t is sanctioned by con-
science-that universal and eternal
lawgiver whose chief dictate is that
everything must be yielded up for
the right.-Channing.

London's Wall Street

Lombard street, the principal
bank quarter Of London, takes its
name from the Lombards, Italian
goldsmiths and money lenders who
settled there in the Twelfth CEN
fury. At that time they were con-
monty called 'slong boards" and the
thoroughfare was called Longbord
and Longebred. A century later it
was called Langeborne-meaning
'slOng brook'-and this title is still
maintained in the place where it
was situated.
