NEURITIS PAINS LIKE
AN ELECTRIC SHOCK
TO A LOCAL WOMAN

Just recently a middle-aged
woman Of this vicinity told US
that she had suffered 3 years of
torture with neuritic pains. She
said she felt like a sharp knife
was being gouged into her mus
cles, and sometimes these pains
would strike her like an electric
shock. She said one could hardly
stand it. Today this lady is again
enjoying life, and she says the
change is due to taking RHU-
AID. Her pains are gone now
No more feeling like knife
gouged into her muscles. She is
entirely free of her misery, thanks
to this remarkable compound.
RHU-AID is the new liquid
formula containing three valua-
bic medical ingredients. These
Three Great Medicines, all blend
ed into one, go right to the very
cause of rheumatic and neuritic
aches and pains. Miserable peo-
pie soon feel different all over.
So don't go on suffering! Get

Hot-Caps Aid Plants
In Getting Start

Hot-caps, which serve as mini
ature individual greenhouses for
plants, are recommended to home
gardeners. Hot-caps are hat-shaped,
especially treated, paper plant COW
ers. They protect plants from
wind, cold and the direct sun while
the plants are getting started. Hot
caps can be placed over tomato,
pepper, cabbage and other early
plants. They can also be used over
hills of melon, squash and similar
tender crops to hasten seed germi-
nation and protect young plants.
After the hot-caps are placed over
the plants, the soil should be
packed all around the edge so no
wind can get underneath and blow
the cap away. After the cap is set,
it is best to punch a small hole
near the top on the side away from
the prevailing wind to permit ven
tilation.
Ten days to two weeks is about
the maximum time that plants
should be left under hot-caps. Such
treatment will bring an earlier,
heavier crop.

A salute of 81 guns to the Presi-
dent of the United States was pre-.
scribed by United States army and
navy regulations in 1918, in accord
ance with an act of congress dated
February 7, 1915. Omcials of the
bureau of public relations of the
war department explain that evil
IDENTIFY we inherited this custom
from England for British navy regu-
lations of 1772 prescribed salute
of 81 guns to the king or queen. The
navy department traces the origin
of the 21-gun international salute to
early times when land batteries
"out saluted" ships by offering
three shots for each of a warship' S
seven, because gunpowder, then
made largely of sodium nitrate, de-
Perforated at sea. AS gunpowder
improved in quality ships began re-
turning salutes gun-for-gun with
land batteries. On August l8, 1878,
the United States and England an.
nounced an agreement on the Gus
tom of returning salutes shot-for-
shot. Since England had developed
a 2l-gun salute the 21-gun system
became the custom which other ma.
tions soon adopted. 1t is an ancient
superstition that gun salutes should
be of an odd number.

Good Concrete

To make good concrete, the ce-
ment should be fresh and free Of
humps, and the sand should be even
ly graded in size and free of dirt
Clean water, free of leaves and
trashs should be used. Use of too
much water is the common mis-
take in mixing concrete. Improper
curing is another common mistake.
AS soon as concrete has hardened
for a few hours, it should be wet
thoroughly and kept wet for five
days by covering with burlap bags
or a few inches of earth. A cubic
yard of concrete requires about six
sacks of cement and is sufficient to
construct 81 square feet of con-
crete floor inches thick when using
one part cement, two parts sand
and three and one-half parts crushed
stone or gravel.

Study of Flea Shows
Remarkable Evolution

The most intensive study ever
made of the anatomy of the flea
by r r. Snodgrass of the depart
ment of agriculture has just been
issued by the Smithsonian institu-
tion.
The study shows the flea is fear
fully and wonderfully made. Mil
lions of years of evolution have gone
into the evolution of a creature al
most perfectly adapted, through
extremely complicated physical
mechanisms. for its parasitical life
in the world
A little of the Aea's life history
down through the ages is revealed
by this examination. Once, for ex-
ample, it was flying creature.
Vestiges of wings still can be found
in one of its development stages.
AS it became more and more strict
ly parasitic on warm-blooded ami
mails the need for flying disap-
peared and the legs were deval-
oped into marvelously efficient or
gans for jumping - the creatures
chief means of locomotion. Ex-
tremely complex is the flea's feed
ing apparatus. When a starved cat
flea is allowed to feed, it becomes
oblivious to everything but the
prospect of blood. Hence, if fore
finger is offered it as food source,
it may be observed leisurely in any
position under the microscope, even
with strong spotlight turned on it.

Control Pests

Mosquitoes, lice, many common
flies, the horn fly, the sheep ked
and the brown dog tick, all we'll
known farm animal pests, may now
be safely controlled by proper use
of DDT. This new insecticide, wide
ly publicized since its successful use
by the armed forces, was synthe-
sized more than 70 years ago and
brought to this country in 1912. DDT
is a white or yellowish-White crys-
talline compound soluble in many
organic solvents and partly soluble
in mineral and vegetable oils. Some
of the more common solvents
are xylene, soybean oil, cottonseed
oil, fuel oil and kerosene.

Famous Violin Makers

The Guarnieri or Guarnerius fam

for its fine violin makers and Jo-

1745, was the most renowned of all.
He was called Giuseppe del Gesu"
from the inscription l. H. S. (mean-
ing Jesus) which appears on his vio-
Inns. Joseph, whose master was
Gaspar di Salo, produced instru-

construction, concentrating on tone
rather than perfection of visible
form. His experiments to obtain
perfect tone resulted in wide vari-

Butter i'm Recipe

There is a difference between
''melted butter" or butter melt
ed'' in a recipe. In the former in
stance the butter should be meas
ured after it is melted and in the
latter it is measured before. The
amount obtained by each of these
methods of measuring varies, so 1t
is important to follow the instruc-
tions as given in recipe.
