Otherwise. you never see them. unless
YOU are familiar with their tunnels.
They are found in great numbers in
Porto Rico, where they destroy
tobacco and sugar cane, the amount
of damage amounting to well over
100000 yearly.
They flourish from Southern Georgia
to wilmington, North Carolina, and
in coastal areas where tobacco, grass,
peanuts and other crops of such a
nature are grown.
Early in the present century, this
mole cricket, a native of the West
Indies and South America, came into
this country 1t is related to the
cricket of hearth fame and, when
grown, is over cne and a fourth inches
long. It is covered with lovely, soft
brown hair. which gives it the name
Of mole cricket, as we'll as its front
feet. which are especially formed for
digging. The hind legs are slender,
and the long wings fold along the back
and extend for some distance beyond
the tip of the body. The eyes are large
and beady, and he looks you straight
in the eye when you try to become
better acquainted with him.
Long, long tunnels are dug, and the
mother constructs very roomy
nursery where she places from SO to
200 eggs Fortunately for the mother,
the children are not all crying for
food at the same time. For some
reason, the children issue from the
small. greenish, oval-shaped eggs at
different times. OF course. it must
mean that the eggs were laid much
later.
The father does not count in this
family. except to try and often succeed
in consuming them. Soon the infants
shake eff their sluggishness and become
excited over their first efforts in
burrowing While they are on hunt
ing and gallery-building expeditions,
seedlings. rootlets and tender stems are
destroyed This is their way of seek
ing food, and the grubs as well as
rocts are eaten as they go on their
way
The children resemble their parents,
except that they do not have wings.
They are fearless, and have many
encounters in the underground dug
cuts with creatures who are seeking
tie portly grub and the slumbering
infants of beetles. They enjoy meal
of potatoes too, and you will find the
tubers with many little bites taken
cut of them.

CEREAL RELIEVED
HIS CONSTIPATION
Kellogg'S ALL-BRAN Brought
New Health

Every one who has suffered from
constipation should read Mr.. P. NJ
Fishers letter:
For many years I suffered from
constipation and used, for relief, all
kinds of laxatives. After a few
/ days treatment, I would only find
my condition the same as before
and at times worse.
Some time ago I started to use
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN regularly, once
a day as directed Since doing this,
1 have found that I do not need
any other medicine to procure the
desired result, and it keeps me in
1 very healthful condition. Mr..
P. M. Fisher, 352 Evergreen Place,
RidgeWood, N. J.
Constipation is caused by lack of
! two things in the diet: "Bulk' to
exercise the intestines; Vitamin B
/ to tone the intestinal tract. ALL
BRAN supplies both-and also iron
for the blood.
! The bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
/ like that in lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms a soft mass, which gently
clears out the wastes.
/ How much safer this is than risk
/ ing pills and drugs-so often harm
/ full Just eat two tablespoonfulS
/ daily-in serious cases, with every
meal. If your intestinal trouble IS
not relieved in this way, see your
doctor.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Emotional Facts.

There are two ways of handling your
emotional striving. One is to repress
them; the other is to work them off.
The trouble with repression is that it
will not make the emotions stay put.
The work-off method is not only the
final but the better method. 1t is said
that the fine arts are, after all the end
results of emotions. All the truly great
poets, painters and sculptors were those
who knew how to organize and express
their feelings. It's impossible 70 invent
an artificial scheme for the production
of art.
Unfortunately, the majority of
human beings are unable to tap the
unconscious so as to produce artistic
creations. But there is such a thing
as competing either physically or men,
tally in some sport. Base ball probably
owes its popularity to the fact that it
helps a jaded population work off its
pent-up feelings. You have perhaps
noticed that sportsmen of every sort
seem to be mentally well balanced.
