patients anticipate good results be-
cause they believe so thoroughly in
the remedy and. like most things in
life. the good results come along,
especially since it is disease which
nature cures anyway.
SO 1.-The doctor in Minnesota took
d number of patients and told them
he was going to give them some cold
medicine, But he had two kinds, one
labelled d"A" and one labelled "B"
THEA kind was the real medicine
that: he was testing, and the "B" kind
was simply milk sugar, r.
HeSfound that the milk sugar was
reported by IS per cent to have
caused definite Improvement and pos
sible improvement in 25 per cent
more, SO that in 60 per cent of cases
the people thought they got well
simply by using milk sugar. Com
paratively. with aspirin and phenace-
tin. mixtures about 40 per cent re-
ported definite Improvement in each
case, and 35 per cent more reported
possibly Improvement with aspirin,
and AZ per, cent more possible i'm
provement with phenacetin.
One positive result of the expert
ment was apparently to show that

some hesitation about the shoulder

regarded himself-and was generally
regarded-as being on the whole a
good-tempered and easy-going men,
ber of the community, and being
pleasingly unaccustomed to wasting
his time over introspection. he was
unaware that he possessed any other
qualities. His actual name was
Montague Turner, but everyone who
knew him at all Intimately called
him Tiggie. partly on account of
natural portliness of person. but also
because of CHEEKY serenity of tenn

he went. and was respected among

He was not considered specially at

he danced and played tennis and was
always uniformly agreeable and will

and ordinary. as perhaps he was.
and the fact that children scrambled
for his favor did not somehow make
him any the less so in their esti-

Yet Tiggie Turner had his points.
He had never been known to do a
shabby action, or to say in any mans

And. perhaps for this very reason he
was seldom embroiled in any bitter
ness and pursued his even course
with few obstacles. He had a natur-
ally happy and contented disposition.
and was almost unfaiingly popular
among men. 1t was only such as
were lacking in uprightness who
despised him for a fool. only those
of complex mind who failed to ap-
preciate the broad simplicity of this
man who passed without reproach in
a world that was certainly not free
from temptation.

doesn't keep well perfect one. And
the is true of carrots parsnips to-
matoes or anything else. So, without knowing
just why we separate the bruised from the
whole vegetables and fruits when we store
them for the Winter.
What happens to the carrot is exactly what
happens to our fingers when we get cut and
do not take care of it. The carrot gets an in
fection. A very common germ has found the
wound and begun to flourish and multiply,
living the carrot.
Like the bacteria which cause infections In
human beings, these little plant-invaders are
nearly everywhere, under the ground and above
it, in the air and on our hands and on the
weeds of every ditch. They search around
constantly for food, and when they find q
broken bit of carrot skin, they crowd through
it to feast on the carrot. Then with amazing
industry they begin to eat the stuff of the
carrot, leaving it muShy and evil smelling.
A carrot, like any other plant or animal, is
made of tiny parts (much too small to be seen)
each walled around like rooms in Office
building or like the hole in honey comb. These
parts are called cells
The attacking germs manufacture chemical
strong enough to make the walls soft and rub
berry. So. between the feeding they do, and
the destruction they work, the carrot ''rots."
And no matter whether the carrots are kept
in cool cellar or in the pantry the infec-
tion spreads from sick to healthy carrots One
rotten carrot can spoil bushel.
Strangely enough, the fresher the carrots are,
the more likely they are to be infected by
slight wounds. The bacteria seem to be more
eager to attack the sound juicy carrots than the
shriveled old ones, and it is usually only when
the injury is a very big one that the germs
bother to "rot" the shriveled dry vegetable
Another preference that these soft-rot bac-
terra, as they are called, seem to have is for
warm, moist temperatures. Cool, dry cellars
are less hoSpitable to them than warm ones, but
they prefer to bear the cool of the cellar rather
than to miss the feast of carrots or turnips or
potatoes Still, it is safer to keep vegetables in
cool places than warm for the soft-rot bacteria
are not the only germs that favor warm places.

Story Of the Lucky Idol

"Well, wishing never gets any one anywhere.
II it did you'd be taking those dancing lessons
you always talked about Father always
said he wished you could, but that's all it
got you Well, I'm going to pack up these
things You can keep the old idol, if you like"
''Natalie" Marions voice trembled with
anger and tears. Don't you dare talk that
way about father. He was good to us.
OF course, he never had any money, but if
he had had, he'd have given anything. He
always wanted me to study dancing and felt
badly because couldn't. And Aunt Florence
is SO set against it"
Her shoulders shook and as she raised one
hand to wipe her tears the idol slipped from
her trembling fngers-slipped and fell to the
floor, breaking in little pieces. "Natalie!"
Marion was down on her knees among the
pieces. She held up shining yellow lump
of gold. Natalie, look. inside the lucky idol
1t must have been hidden there when the
idol was made by the priests. 1t must be
worth"
"Oh!" Natalie stopped beside her. 'tIt's yours,
Marion" she said quietly. 1T means your
dancing lessons. And-and I guess it serves
me right"

~IF ONLY dear father had left us something

"IF ONLY dear father had left us something
besides all this junk" sighed Natalie.
The two girls were sadly cleaning out
their fathers library, the week following his
sudden death. They were orphans now, and
since they couldn't very well run the house
themselves they were being packed up to go
home with Aunt Florence who had promised
their father to look after them.
Anyway" said Natalie, sits nice for Prof.
Atkins to agree to buy fathers collection. It's
no use to U.S." She looked scornfully at the
strange bowls and daggers and idols which
Prof. Davis, their father, had picked up in
his travels.
Marion took up queer-looking little clay
idol, oddly painted. Il think I'm going to
keep this one. Father was especially proud
of it. It's some kind of lucky idol he
got in hidden temple in the hill country"
"I can't see it brought him much luck"
shifted Natalie
Maybe you have to rub it, like Alladin's
lamp" smiled Marion. "Then maybe you make

Natalie looked with some scorn at her
dreamy sister, so like her impractical father.

type tobacco within their own borders The
only answer to the problem of ruinous prices is
curtailed production to the point of meeting
the American needs, with little thought given
to export production
In Virginia, of the largest producers Of
f1re-cured tobacco, the income dropped from
$40, 600, 900 in 1882 to $1,100,000 in 1882.

PLEA To AID
NEEDY MADE
BY GOVERNOR

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 20. U.P)-The
unemployed can be restrained from
extreme political views only by the
consideration and aid of their more
fortunate fellow citizens. in the be-
lief of Gov. Frank F. Merriam.
Addressing the 9th annual Cali
fornia Fruit Growers and Farmers
convention here last night, the
governor warned his listeners that
the greatest problem confronting
the state was 1.-the mental attitude
of thousands on relief rolls
"The unemployed need your en-
couragement and help he said.
'They need it to keep them from
straying to the left. This problem
transcends all others.
1--WE face the question of whether
through our help to these unfortun-
ateS, we are to continue on to re-
covery or to meet the problems of
many 'isms'.'
Reporting that California this
month is receiving S8000,000 in fed
eral relief funds, Merriam praised
the federal government for enabling
the states to meet their relief
problems. He stressed the import
ant part California agriculture will
play in any permanent recovery
program.
Urge Western Office
Digging into its own problems,
the convention resolved that the u.
S. department of agriculture should
establish a western office to admin
ister the AAA affairs within the
state. Another resolution recon-
mended that enforcement of the
egg Standardization act be trans
ferred to the state department of
agriculture and that the legislature
appropriate necessary enforcement
funds.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. W.P)-The
stock market today adjusted itself
to a declining utility list. While
the latter sank to new low ground
since 1892, leading industrial and
railroad issues were steady to firm,
mercantile issues resumed their
rise, and chemicals were strong.
Trading, however, was light be-
cause of the approaching holiday
Indications are the stock exchange
will remain open on the Mondays
before Christmas and New Year S
day, although many commodity
markets have voted to close early
on those days.
Utility selling started at the op-
ening and continued through the
session. Consolidated Gas made a
new low at 1885 off IL and then
met meager support from short
covering. AT the low it was off
27A points from the year. high of
ATS, and off 1885 points from the
stock S record high of 1884, made
in 1929.
In connection with Consolidated
Gas, Dow-Jones said: "The decline
in this stock is particularly unfor-
tunate as it has a widespread in
vestment status, including trusts,
churches, women, and other invest
ors. The investment losses in the
issue are particularly high. For
instance, one retired investor who
has held a large block for a num-
ber of years has an equity loss of
something more than 100000.
Not only were the New York City
Utilities adversely affected by the
threat of a competing municipal
plant to supply city power needs,
but the entire list dropped on
threats Of the government to bring
down rates. A further selling
came into the communication
shares, notably American Telephone
& Telegraph which also may come
in for rate reductions. New lows
were made by United Corporation
Issues, American Power & Light
and several others. Public Service
preferred issues were off to more
than points.
Outside issues were off 2 to more
than points.
Outside of the utility division
changes were small.

SOLDIERS TO
HELP SEARCH
FOR WOMAN

CARMEL, Calf, Dec. 20. U.H-
United States cavalry troops, num-
bering 1900 men, today started
systematic search for Mrs. Eliot
Boke Schaffner, wealthy Carmel
and Chicago woman, who disap-
peared from her home here early
Tuesday.
The troopers, under command of
Colonel Ralph Parker, of the Mont
Grey presidio, planned TO cover
Carmel, then hunt through the Del
Monte forest and the Pebble Beach
region.
Trained police dogs meanwhile,
were kept in the search as sheriff
deputies sought to uncover clewS
to the disappearance. So far the
dogs have led the men from the
Schaffner cottage to Carmel bay, a
distance of approximately on e
quarter mile.
Joseph H. Schaffner, executive of
a large mems clothing firm and
husband of the missing woman,
was expected to arrive here this
afternoon after a plane and train
trip from Chicago.
Authorities were investigating
several theories to the disappear
ance. Circumstances under which
Mrs. Schaffner, lightly clad with a
fur coat thrown over night gown,
left home, caused officers to fear
she may have committed suicide
in the bay.
