Fatigue Help. Thought

1t is Interesting to note that criti-

daylight hours and do not settle down
to work until the normal bed hour has
been overcome. Science has ascer-

when fatigued. Through experiments
conducted at well-known university
It was found that the brain is too rest

Alchemy and Chemistry

Alchemy, which deals in its narrow.

and silver from baser metals. Is
thought to have originated with the
Alexandrian Greeks. In its brOadest

Silver Leaf Healing

Silver leaf has been found to be n
superior substitute for salves and
tinctures in the treatment of cuts,
wounds and burns as demonstrated by
many experiments at the hospital Of
the Vienna university. The silver leaf
is simply laid on the wound and its
effect is greatly to accelerate the heal
ing process.
Not only does 1t rapidly dry up the
wound, but 1t apparently exerts a bac-
tericldal action, as result of which
infections and other complications can
be avoided.

Cleaning Steel Pens

The bureau of standards says the
deposit left by the drying of ordinar,
writing ink on steel pens consists of
iron sulphate, gallic and fannie acids.
dye, phenol and perhaps some gumny
matter. There may also be substance,
formed by the oxidation and polymcri
zatlon of the galic and fannie acid,
No one liquid will remove all of these
substances. Hydrochloric or sulphuric
acid will loosen the deposit, but viii
corrode the pens and be bad for til,

Napoleon No Scholar

Napoleon did not dlstinguisb>iim
self in school. AS one writef puts it !:
Napoleon's scholastic career WAS not
brilliant and he received his confnis
sion in the artillery in 1855 without
having given evidence of any marked
ability, except, perhaps, that of hold
ing his own counsel and of carrying
through to the end any attitude
adopted. These traits, which after.
ward made him feared equally in the
council chamber and on the battle
field, he inherited from his mother.

TOMATO TARIFF IN SENATE
Senate Bill Gives Fifty Per Cent
Rate Increase on Tomatoes


Rate Increase on Tomatoes
After more than year Of effort,
an increased tariff rate of canned
tomatoes has been obtained for the
benefit of Gamers of this Peninsula
Besides the relief afforded tomato
Gamers and growers of the PENN
sula the new tariff rates will bene-
fit approximately 250 other can
neries. The Senate fixed the rate
on canned tomatoes at fifty per
cent ad valerem, which compares
with rate of forty per cent car
ried in the House bill and with a
rate of twenty-one and one-half
per cent in effect under the Ford
ney-McCumber law and the rul-
ings of the Tariff Commission. The
increased rate is expected mater
tally to check the importations of
canned tomatoes from Italy, which
have been coming into this coun-
try in unprecedented quantities for
nearly four years. Importations of
this commodity for 1927 reached a
total of 93,771,9O6 pounds, of
which about ninety-eight per cent
came from Italy. So heavy has
been the pressure of the Italian
product on the domestic market
that American Gamers have been
forced to operate at a loss or in
InC tn
ator Goldsborough said, in a speech
on the canned tomato industry,
that 181 canneries out of about 500
in Maryland, Delaware and New
Jersey did not operate last year
because of their inability to meet
foreign competition. 1T is believed
a higher tariff would enable these
canneries to resume production
next year. Long before the pres
ent revision of the tariff began
American Gamers took the cases
to the United States Tariff Com
mission, which ordered that the
duty on canned tomatoes be in
creased from fifteen per cent to
twenty-five and half per cent.
This was the maximum advance
permitted under the flexible clause
of the Fordney-McCumber tariff,
but it did not satisfy the operators
of canneries. They renewed their
drive on Congress this year, and
with favorable results. Whether
the House will concur in the fifty
per cent rate authorized by the
Senate, or whether it will insist on
the forty per cent rate carried on
the House, bill, is a matter of con-
lecture. Senator Goldsborough is
hopeful that the higher rate will
be approved in conference. He in
sisted last week that the fifty per
cent rate would barely enable the
domestic Gamer to meet the prices
of his foreign competitor. The
farmer Indirectly will share in any
benefits accruing from the advance
in the rate on this product. 1t will
give growers on the Peninsula
where most of the canneries are
located, a more certain and also a
more profitable outlet for their to-
mtoes, stabilizing the market for
a crop from which the farmers re-
turns have been more or less prob
lematical for several years.

in Baltimore Mr.. Morford posted
a bond double the value of the ma
chimes, the value of which is es-
timated at $3.50, so that the man
ufacturer could obtain possession
of them pending disposal by the

Magistrate Haley took two deputy
sheriffs to the Court House and

bond so that he might retain pos

WATERED TOMATOES SEIZED
Seizures Made by U. S. Under Pure
Food and Drugs Act

Federal officers have seized a
quantity of canned tomatoes be
cause of alleged adulteration with
water IN Baltimore, Washington
and Alabama, the Department of
Agriculture announced recently
Details of the seizure could not be
learned. With the exception of the
Agricultural Departments formal
announcement of the case, all in
formation from that source was
unavailable. The statement said
5,614 cases had been seized. The
departments statement, in part,
was as follows: Seizure was made
as a result of investigation by the
food, drug and insecticide admins
tration of the Department of Ag-
riculture under the Federal Food
and Drug act. These tomatoes,
twenty-four cans to the case, were
packed in, and shipped from, fac
tories in Northern Virginia last
summer and fall. Reputable can.
ners do not consider it necessary
to add water to tomatoes in the
canning process, and they as well
as the Government regard the
sales of water at the price of can
ned tomatoes as a cheat and inn
position on the consumer. These
seized tomatoes are being held
pending action on the part of the
Gamers. Distribution of them in
trade will be permitted only under
conditions which will prevent fraud
and deception"
