Weight often is more important
than color. Seeds which are only
slightly green are nearly mature and
are of fair quality. Weight and value
decreases rapidly with the darkening
of the green color. Seeds are brown

value if less than three-fourths nor

d'sh in color due to age or heating are
dead.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Pains in Head

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Pains in Head
Question: r. F. writes: Il have
been getting terrible pains in my
head, and there is a tight feeling in
the back of my head all the time.
Also, am very nervous. I have a con-
slant fear that something is going tc
happen to me. Can you tell me what
is causing this and what I can do?"
Answer: The feeling in the back
of your head indicates that you have
some form of pelvic congestion. This
would make you nervous and might
cause you to be fearful. Have a good
diagnosis so that you can discover the
exact source and cause of the con-
gestion.
Expectant Mother
Question: Mrs. T. E. l.. asks.
What is the danger, if any, OF tooth
extraction during the early stages OF
pregnancy?"
Answer: There is no danger if thu
tooth can be extracted easily with
the use of a local anesthetic.
Observation-Disclosures
Question: G. L. F. asks: What
causes O person to be very forgetful
and absent-minded? Is there any
cure for this?"
Answer: One who is absent
minded is suffering from severe tox-
emia, usually from absorption of pol
0 n from the colon. This is the
cause of observation-disclosures at any
age. Of coure, it is more common
with those of advanced years. When
the toxemia is removed and conStipa-
ton overcome the patients memory
will improve somewhat, but often In
spite OF removal of the causes there
will still be a tendency to absent
mindedness. When the brain has
been injured by toxic poisoning 1t
does not recover as quickly as other
tissues of the body.

 Under State Law

NEW YORK, Nov. 17-Determi- nation to fight extradition to Ken lucky was expressed today by Theodore Dreiser and his asso- ciates. They were indicted yes- terday at Pineville, Kentucky, on charges of violating the states cri- minal syndicalism law.
 Dreiser said the charges were brought in an attempt to becloud the findings of his committee of writers in their investigations of conditions in the Kentucky Coal Fields.
 The indictment of Dreiser and Marie Pergain, with eigh others, followed a previous indictment in Kentucky of alleged charges of adultery against Dreiser and Miss Pergain
 This indictment is the second attempt of Judge D. c. Jones and the Harlan County officials to smother and divert public atten- tion from the exposure of the ap- palling condition of starvation, pe- onage and persecution in the Ken lucky coal fields" said Dreiser Judge Jones first crude attempi i to drag a red herring across th1 committee of writers findings ir official murder, dynamiting ano tyrrany in Harlan County, was the charge of adultery.

Marking Worried by
Red Advances; Sends
Troops to Fight Them

Reports from China stress the fact
that the Red Army administered a
striking defeat to the main force Of
the Chang Kai Shek army sent
against the Communists in Kiangsi.
The Markings Eighteenth Division
was captured and diSarmed. To cover
up this glaring defeat the latest cables
make vague reports about Marking
successes" against the Reds, but no
details are given.
Just before the route of the Eight
zenith Division of the Nationalist
army similar reports of successes"
were made in the capitalist news
papers, but later facts showed that
the only success Chang Kai Shek
had was in retreating.
More troops are reported being sent
to Kiangsi, and repeated statements
are made about Chang Kai Shek
taking personal lead of the expedi-
ton. Four more divisions have been
launched against the Communists, as
well as fleet of bombing planes.
Chang Kai Shek has promised the
landlords and money lenders the re-
turn OF the land taken by the peas
ants, in the event of his victory.
Sharp fighting is going on in many
cities, but news is meagre on the re-
suit,
