Economical research by DR.. Conrad
Lonnqvist of the Royal observatory,
University of Luud, Sweden, COM
mented upon here by a note in the
British science Journal, Nature.
From a study of novae, or new
stars, that become very bright sud-
denly. DR.. LonnqyiSt estimated that
on the average each star undergoes
a nova outburst once in 100000 900
years.
Since the geological record of the
earth shows that the sun has not
experienced such an outburst in the
last 100000, 600 years. the inference
is that one may take place.
Any such outburst Of the sun
would, of course, destroy the earth.

PHARIS MERCHANDISING PLAN
Two TIRES FOR THE
PRICE OF ONE

Proof that American brains and
enterprise can beat adverse condi-
lions constantly comes to light in the
present day business field. A good
example is furnished by the unusual
merchandising proposition of the
Pharis Tire and Rubber Company,
Newark, Ohio, which has continued
to increase its business and improve
it's financial position through the de-
preston years.
By skilled management, and
policy of low overhead that elimi-
mates warehouse, branch offices, and
all but few statesmen, and by
avoiding funded indebtness, this
company has maintained low cost
manufacturing basis that enables it
to offer it's first line, highest quality
tires to dealers at extremely low
prices.
The results are apparent here this
week at the H. M. Duyckinck Co.
garage, Rising Sun, where Pharis
first line, four or six ply tires are be-
ing offered 2 for the price of /.
During the period that this sale lasts
anyone can go in and get two tires
at the price usually paid for one of
the nationally advertised tires of
similar high quality.
BY this policy the Pharis company
keeps it's factory. busy and its men
employed right through The depres-
sion, and people who need new tires
for winter get them now at half
what they would normally cost.

WILMINGTON DOLLAR DAY
Semi-Annual Special Opportunity
For Unusual Merchandise
Bargains Will Be Held
August 9th

Fall Dollar Day in Wilmington
will be observed on Wednesday, Au
gust 8, under the auspices of the
Mercantile Section of the Chamber
of Commerce and affiliated stores,
which will be designated by the dis
play of the official emblem of the
Section which will be shown prom
inently in store windows and on
counters within official stores. This
event will mark the outstanding OPP
portunity for shoppers from all
parts of the Peninsula and surround
ing territory to secure bargains in
wide variety of merchandise season
able just now, or of staple use.
Wilmington has conducted these
semi-annual Dollar Days for more
than twenty years. and they are
famous throughout the country be-
cause of the unusual opportunities
offered everyone.
Unusual efforts have been made
to make this the premier Dollar
Day of the long series, and for weeks
purchasing authorities of these
stores have been combing the whole
sale markets for additions to al
ready widely diversified stocks, so
they coull give shoppers the benefit
of the highest possible values at Dol
lar Day prices. Ample arrange
ments have been made to care for
the crowds which surely will take
advantage of this event, and every
care has been taken to insure that
visitors will have no cause for COM
plant.
Attendance at Wilmington Dollar
Days has become a fixed custom with
housewives of the Peninsula, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey,
and the number attending increases
each year. Often it has been found
necessary to arrange for ''traff1c
police" to handle the crowds in
stores.
In view of the present tendency
toward higher prices, it is probable
that this Dollar Day will furnish the
last opportunity for some time to
''stock up" homes with necessities
Ffor household use and personal
wear. This event will be carried
through on Wednesday next, rain or
shine. There will be no advance

GASOLINE BATH is BEST FOR
POISON IVY

The effects of poison Ivy and pois-
most prevalent hazards, are known
to far more persons than the inno-
cent-appearing plants that cause the
trouble. Hints ON how to avoid
these plants, and if introduced to
them unwillingly, how to escape the
result are given by L. E. Warren, of
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
Poison ivy, also known as poison
oak, poison vine, three-leaved ivy
and poison creeper, is best recognize
ed by it's leaves, each of which is
divided into three leaflets. Small
greenish flowers appear in May and
June and the fruit, when immature,
is pale green and poisonous.
Poison sumach also has several
aliases: poison ash, poison dog
wood, poison elder, poison tree,
poison wood and thunder wood. It's
habitat is in swamps Throughout
the eastern United States, attaining
height of five to twenty feet. The
bark is light gray and the compound
leaves, seven to fourteen inches long,
have seven to. thirteen leaflets.
Both the ivy and the suEiach ex-
ude thick juice that causes grief
for many nature lovers. The best
remedy for the poison, which in its
least evil effects causes intolerable
itching, is a bath of kerosene, rub
bling alcohol or gasoline (avoiding

TEETH AND HEALTH
BY Samuel M. Fink, D. u. S.

TOOTH PASTE-DENTRIF
The chief purpose of dentrifice
is to supplement the services and
skill of the dentist, in keeping the
teeth and mouth in good condition.
Dentistry, as practiced to-day, is
a well developed science. 1t plays
an important part in promoting gen.
eral health and good appearance.
1t is vital, therefore, for every one
to receive dental services at regular
intervals, and to follow the dem
lists instructions and cooperate with
him fully.
Years of research, in conjunction
with clinics devoted to mouth hy-
giene, have demonstrated the value
of oral cleanliness. Food taken
into an unclean, infected mouth be-
comes contaminated before passing
into the digestive tract, and may
cause various ailments of the body.
Physicians now recognize the re-
lation between an unclean mouth
and many systemic diseases. 1t is,
therefore, imperative to co.. perate
with the dentist and the physician
by keeping the teeth and mouth
scrupulously clean, if the full re-
wards of modern professional skill
-.e to be enjoyed.
Teeth and gums must be really
cleaned, not just favored and per-
fumed. Do not select dentrifice
from the stand point of flavor, con-
venience, or advertised claims. The
purpose of the paste or powder is to
assist the brush in keeping the teeth
clean. See that the paste is not
gritty as it may cause injury TO the
tooth structure. A paste that con-
tains exceptionally large quantities
of soap or antiseptic is Objectionable
and should be avoided. Avoid paste
that contains bleaching compounds;
consult the dentist and follow his
advice. The dentist knows the val
ue of various cleansing agents; he
knows the relative merits of pow
ders and paste as cleaners, he also
knows what the requirements are
in every case.
Hence, follow his advice as to the
dentrifice to be used, and continue
to use it faithfully and as frequent
ly as your dentist directs. Night
and morning brushings are partic-
ularly important. The night brush
ings leave the mouth and teeth clean
on retiring, and the morning cleans
ing removes the mucoid secretions
accumulated during sleep. In addi-
ton, good habit to form is to
bursh the teeth after each meal.

MUST PAY TAX ON CIDER OF
3D. PER CENT

While the act passed at the recent
session of Congress legalizing 80
per cent beer places a tax of SIS per
barrel upon fermented fruit juices
containing more than one-half of
one per cent alcohol, this provision
does not apply to pure apple cider.
The word ''fermented" is important
in this connection. Hard cider con-
tains from to per cent alcohol
and could not be legally sold with
out being taxed.
Under the Eighteenth Amendment
as interpreted by the Volstead Act,
it was illegal to manufacture, trans
port or sell any beverage containing
more than one half of one rer cent
alcohol. This applied to apple cider
as well as to ony other beverage.
The status of cider is not changed
under the new legislation enacted
by Congress, except that it would be
legal to sell cider containing not
more than 32 per cent alcohol by
obtaining a permit and paying the
tax of So per barrel.

QUALITY GOODS, HONESTLY
GRADED AND LABELED

In order that Maryland canned
products may meet the requirements
of State and Federal regulations,
and may compete with all corners in
the open markets, the complete CO.
operation of Gamers throughout the
State in complying with the various
laws which affect the industry, is
urged by Mr., A. l.. Sullivan, Chief
of the Bureau of Food and Drugs of
the State Department of Health, in
a letter sent recently to Gamers
throughout Maryland.
The first essential, and the one
that includes all others, he said is
that the Gamers pack quality
goods, honestly graded and labeled"
in surroundings that are thoroughly
clean and sanitary.
Since cleanliness and standard
products go hand in hand, Mr.. Sui
Ivan recommends that each Gamer
assign a sufficient number of per-
sons to be responsible for the gen
eral sanitation of the plant, to see
that the place has real cleanup
twice a day and to supervise the
living quarters of the workers.
The letter continues:
1.-The interior of the cannery
should theoretically resemble mod
ern kitchen, not a dingy machine
shop.
Employees should wear clean
clothes and they must not be re-
quired to work under sloppy condi-
tions.
'All waste must be removed daily
and disposed of so that it will not
constitute a nuisance.
Boxes and baskets should be
kept clean and sweet.
Floors and benches, etc., should
not become moldy and drains should
not be allowed to become stangnant.
Drains and bitches must be kept
clean and free from decaying pro-
duets.
Living quarters must be kept
clean and have ample facilities to
protect the health of the workers.
IAN abundance of good water
must be available.
Toilets must be maintained in
sanitary order at all times"
Attention is also directed to pre-
cautions that must be taken in
handling tomatoes to prevent con-
tamination and to avoid lnfestation
by insects. 1t is pointed out that
unsanitary conditions in the pack
ing houses or in the surroundings
undoubtedly increase the danger of
contamination.

WHEAT ADJUSTMENT
Illustration OF An Individual Farm
er's Program Based On AS
sumed Conditions

/. The wheat adjustment program
is plan of cooperation between the
Government and the wheat growers
of the United States to bring supply
and demand into better balance, and
the growers income on the domestic
consumption of wheat to the parity
intended by the Act.
2. The wheat adjustment program
provides for the assignment of allot-
ments to States and Counties based
on their five-year average produc-
ton, and to individual growers bas-
ed on their three-year average pro-
duction. Benefit payments will be
made on the percentage of wheat
production that is normally consum-
ed domestically for human food.
Assume that farmer has an aver
age production for the last three
years of 1 900 bushels and that his
average acreage is SO acres.
Benefit payments will be made or
the percentage of his crop that is
consumed domestically, which is as
sumed to be $40.
The benefit payment, il is esti-
mated, will be about 80 cents a
bushel (exact amount to be an
nounced later.)
This mans payment would be on
$40 of 1000 bushels, $40 bu.
Total benefit payment 1888 $40
bushels q 80 cents, $4,000. Two
thirds will be paid in September.
One-third will be paid after acreage
planted is checked.
Out of this he will pay his share
of the costs of operating the county
association, estimated to be about 2
cents bushel. $40 bushels q .02
cents. $1,000. Total net benefit
payment for 1888. $151.2O.
The farmer sells his wheat in the
usual manner and receives the above
benefit payment in addition to the
regular income for his wheat.
The farmer contracts to take 299o
(assumed) of his acreage out of
wheat production. 20% of SO acres
is 10 acres.
On the 10 acres he takes out of
production in 1884 and 1895, he
may grow a hay crop, green ma
nure crop. or some other non-sur-
plus crop. This should be worth at
least $500 an acre to him, or $50
each year. For the two years it is
worth twice $50 or $4,000.
In return for agreeing to reduce
his acreage in two years, the Govern
ment agrees to make benefit pay
ments for three years.
