TuIlq Nuts

Back in 1904, DR.. David Fairchild
of the government bureau of plant
industry secured quantity of Tung
nuts from China. They were plant
ed widely in this country, in all ex-
cept cold climates, and from this
beginning, has sprung new indus
try which aims to furnish essential
quick-drying oil to the paint indus
try.
A bumper crop in 1910 provided
5000, 900 pounds of tung nuts with
million dollar income to growers.
A narrow belt in the southern states,
SO to 100 miles wide, has been found
best suited to growing tung trees.
These come into bearing in the
third year. They yield nuts with
woody hulls the size of small apples
inside of which are from three to
seven seeds. Machinery used in
crushing the seeds is similar to that
used for crushing oil from cotton
seed, peanuts and soybeans. The
residue left is pressed into cakes and
returned to the grower who uses it
for fertilizer.
During the last ten years, before
the outbreak of the war with Japan,
oil valued at ten million dollars was
imported from China each year.
Much of this was of inferior grade
and adulterated with other oils. It
has sold from ST. cents to as, high
as 27.2 cents per pound in barrels at
New York. With this foreign supply
unavailable, the superior American
product is finding ready market.
Mills equipped for dehulling and
crushing tung seed have been estab-
lished in Alabama, Florida, Geor-
gia, Mississippi and Louisiana,

II knew I shouldn't have done
it," is remark often made by acct
dent victims after the damage has
been done. And because the war
now makes the full working ability
of every man and woman more inn
portant than ever before, greater
accident-prevention care should be
taken.
Accidents cost the American
people $4,000, 900 in wages, medi-
cal expenses, insurance, and
property damage last year. A
total of 102,500 persons were
killed, 100000 permanently dis
abled and $3.50, 900 temporarily
injured.
Much has been written on how to
prevent accidents, but the best rem
edy is Individual care and thought
fitness.
Common among the causes of ac-
cidents is placing hands between
gears, chains, cutter knives, or 9TH
er parts of machinery in motion. In
addition to avoiding this danger,

speed, skill, timing and refexes.
They may be just as healthy and
just as powerful, but there is almost
sure to be a dull edge on their
sharpness.
''This doesn't mean, however, that
they will be outclassed if they re-
turn to ring action For who is COM
ing along to show much more?
The Difference
''This war is different from the
first World war;" Mr.. Brady con-
tinued. "The kids of 10 and 10 now
are going into service. There is
more boxing now, and there will be
more and more boxing than any ex-
tended sweep of army and navy
camps ever knew. This applies to
millions.
''There will be big average i'm
provement on the boxing side. More
men will know how to handle their
fists and use their feet in the ring.
But developing champion under
war conditions is another matter. 1t
can be done, but it will take time
plenty of time after the war.
''We might take the case of Gene
Tunney," Mr.. Brady went on. ''He
went from the marines to the heavy
weight title. He was fine all
around fighter.

tice came in November, 1918, and

S0n1eOne-But Who?

GAS I said before, there are sew
eral millions taking boxing lessons
now from good instructors all over
the country-camp by camp" Bill
said. "The majority from this big
group never would have boxed if
it hadn't been for camp training.
Naturally, many of these will show
undeveloped talent that may lead
to something after the war;
Jack Dempsey brought out this
point at his coast guard station.
eve have several thousand kids
here taking boxing lessons, learn
ing at least how to stand and how to
use their hands," Jack said. "Nat-
urally, the great majority of these
never could be good fighters in the
ring. 1t would be the same if you
taught the fundamentals of golf to
several thousand youngsters. From
this group you might get five or six
possible champions maybe not
even that many. But you would get
few who could take high ranking.
1T is the same way in boxing.
I don't think many people know how
many have been trying to get some
place in the ring game-up in the
thousands-but less than l per cent
ever get anywhere.
One of the Toughest
Boxing is one of the toughest
games in the world to face. When
you have heavyweight champion,
for example, you rarely have more
than one or two challengers who are
any good at all. Baseball and foot
ball and golf are full of stars, but
there are never many good fighters
4 mean topnotchers.
81 agree with Bill Brady" the
Manassa Mauler went ON, chat out
of several millions who are being
given intensive training under many
good instructors, we should be able
to dig up many more good ring
fighters than we have had before.
But this is something that belongs
to the future, not to the present. We
won't have the answer for some
time, but it must be on the side Of
youth when we get it. Just as in
any other game, the younger they
get started the better chance they
have" The truth of Dempsey's state
ments will be proved in the future.

The chronic headache that lasts
day after day or a certain part OF
every day for a long time is not so
easily dismissed. 1t is one Of the
most annoying things to the pa

An analysis of cases at the Cleve-
land Clinic puts the percentage
much lower and shows that head
ache is a symptom in only a small
number of cases Of chronic sinus
infection.
Chief symptom
In 295 cases of chronic sinus
infection Of the nose, headache
was the chief complaint in only .
cases. The chief symptom Of sinus
disease is a discharge in the back
of the nose. Other symptoms were
a r~ecurrent head cold, a feeling of
stutfness Of the ear, a cough with
or without production of sputum,
asthma and allergy.
The cause of headache of nasal
origin is usually a deviation of the
nasal septum which crowds against
the middle t~urblnated bone and
creates pressure. 1t may be an
enlargement Of the turbinate,
swelling of the mucous membrane
Of the nose, or stasis following
obstruction to drainage.
Another cause of discomfort in
the head from sinus disease is con-
gestion Of the circulation, which is
greatly activated by the use Of
alcohol or tobacco. Nearly all sinus
sufferers think that tobacco is bad
for them and also that cocktails
are bad for them, and they are
usually right.
Face Ache
Face ache, as distinguished from
headache is more frequent as a
symptom of sinus disease than
headache itself. Congestion or OBJ
struction Of the frontal sinus over
the eyes produces the severe pain
in that region. Obstruction of the
