Hot water is a cheap and efficient
means of treating broom corn eed.
In brief, the process is as follows:
Heat two large vats or tubs of water
to about 135 degrees ana 140 degrees,
F., respectively. Place the seed to be
treated in a clean sack or wire basket
and plunge it into the tub of water
heated to 135 degrees F. for a mo-
ment. Then transfer the sack to the
second tub or vat for ten to twelve
minutes. Keep the temperature of tbe
water in the second tub between 134
degrees and 140 degrees F. It should
not be allowed to go above 142 degrees
or below 134 degrees F. The seed
should be frequently stirred in order
to keep the temperature uniform
throughout. Small sacks should be
used, since in large sacks it is impos-
sible to keep the temperature con-
stant. After this treatment the seed
is spread out to dfy on a clean flooi
or canvas. When sufficiently dry It
may be sown.
As in the formalin treatment, every
precaution must be taken to prevent
Infection of the seed after treatment.
Although this treatment is not as con-
venient as the formalin method, it is
Just as efficient, is cheaper, and, on
account of the wide range of temper-
ature. is easily applied. It is super-
ior to the formalin method in that the
farmer does not have to rely
druggist for the strength of a formalin
solution. If the formalin is not of full
standard strength i.e., a 40 per cent
solution), the formalin treatment may
not be successful. In the hot water
treatment all of the implements and
materials are directly under the con
trol of the farmer.

WEED HARMFUL TO WOMEN
Scientific Investigation Has Proved
That Tobacco Should Not Be Used
by the Fair Sex.
It seems that at last a purely physio-
logical reason has been found why
women Bhould not smoke, apart from
the very general prejudice which ex-
ists in this country.
"Smoking." says Dr. Hargrave, a
London physician, "does not have the
same effect on women that it does
on men. An imperious necessity felt
by most smokers to satisfy their pas-
sion after eating is physiologically ex-
plained by the excitation of the Bali-
vary glands whose secretions, so use-
ful In digestion, the smoke augments.
Moreover, it has been shown that it
sterilizes the saliva and that this is
really beneficial from the viewpoint
of the possible Infection from the
foods themselves.
"But with women it is a serious con-
clusion reached from many experi-
ments that few of them need tobacco.
While the proportion of men whoso
salivary secretions were stimulated
and sterilized by smoking was very
large, the proportion of women, on the
other hand, was very Bmall. Even
in women who have been habitual
smokers for years the action of this
weed was found to be less marked, In
fact, almost negligible."
So apparently Dr. Hargraves is of
the opinion that women should not
smoke, because they do not need it.

Old 8hip Still Staunch.
Said to be the oldest ship in the
world in active service, the Copen-
hagen yacht Constance has been sold
to a fisherman of Skaw, in Jutland,
who will use the ancient craft in his
trade. The Constance was built one
hundred and ninety-three years ago,
and in her long life she has sailed
into almost every port in the world.
Her timbers are still staunch, and her
new owner declares he can see no
reason why she should not sail the
seaB for a century to come.
Leave Seed Piles Alone.
Seed from broom corn threshers
planted again will become infested
with absolutely unformed, worthless
brush, produced from crossed varle
ties of seed, furthermore, it has com
from all grades and qualities. Some
with a center stem, some with tree
top or spikey brush. Still another part
has come from curley or twisted
brush, such brush from inferior seed
will net mature uniformly, therefore
some brush is dead ripe while
other heads are not far enough along
to be harvested which necessitates
two and even three pullings over the
same field, causing a greater outlay
for labor. Inferior seed also produces
a reduced tonnage The liability of
getting seed that is infested is also
very great when purchasing from ur
known mixtures, and unreliable seeds-
men.

Few Varieties of Broom Corn.
Prof. Rail in the Cereal Department,
at Washington, D. C., states: "In com-
merclal lines, broom corn, especially
the standard, is known under many
varietal names. In field practice, how-
ever, these varieties are usually found
not to be distinct. This 1b due In part
to there being more names than real
varieties, and In part to the ready
crossing of distinct varieties in the
field, which results in the obliteration
of the distinguishing characters."
Precautions for Broom Corn 8eed.
The precautions necessary and the
proper treatments for the smutB of
broom corn crops may be summarized
as follows:
(1) If possible, get seed free from
smut—from fields that are known to
have had no smut during the preced-
ing year. Also be sure that such seed
has not .become smutted in harvest-
ing and handling.
Even in Death.
Sam Bernard was talking at the
Lambs in New York about the recent
arrest of some foreign dancers on the
score of immodesty.
"Of course these dancers were all

Their arrest was dictated by prudery.
Such prudery reminds me of a hos-
pital I know.
"In the building of this hospital a
cold storage chamber for the accom-
modation of dead bodies was includ-
ed. One of the hospital doctors, in
going through thiB cold storage cham-
ber, found that a partition divided it
in two.
"'What's this partition for?' he
" 'Oh, sir,' said the foreman primly,
'that's to keep the sexes apart.'
DANDRUFF COVERED SCALP
3002 Cass St., St. Louis. Mo.—"For
five years I suffered with Itching of my
body and scalp. My trouble began with
a rash on my lower limbs which was
very annoying, and my scalp was lit-
erally covered with dandruff. My hair
used to come out by the handfuls and
the Itching of my body and Bcalp was
terrible. I had used almost all the
skin remedies on the market with no
resultB, when I wrote for a little Cutl-
cura Soap and Ointment and it gave
me instant relief. Within one month's

There With the "Nerve."
The conversation led to the beauty
of having abundant nerve the other
evening, when Senator Clapp of Min-
nesota told of a man who went into
a fashionable restaurant, accompanied
by a couple of children, and after
ordering a lemon soda, asked the
waiter to bring him three plates.
This, according to Senator Clapp, the
waiter did. but when he saw the man
take Bome sandwiches from his
pocket, put them on the plateB, and
pass them around to the kids, he re-
ported the matter to the boss. "What
are you doing?" indignantly cried the
manager, rushing over to the sand-
wich party. "Don't you know that
this isn't a free picnic ground, where
you bring your own food?" "Ib that
so?" was the calm rejoinder of the
man, passing along another sandwich.
"Who are you?" "I am the manager,'
blustered the boss, with rising heat.
"Just the very person that
I have been looking for." interjected
the imperturbed party. "Why isn't
the orchestra playing?"
To Clean Rubber.
A rubber coat can be nicely cleaned
by the UBe of automobile soap, a jel-
lylike substance of dark color, which
can be procured at any automobile
supply store or at a garage.
The soap can be used for other
garments also, aB it does not Injure
the finest finished material, but the
efTect seems better on rubberized
goods. The first step in cleaning Is
to make a strong lather. Clean the
coat thoroughly and then apply the
soap over a small portion of the gar-
ment. Carefully wash off the Boap
by sponging with clear water and pro-
ceed to next space to be cleaned. Dry
out of doors.
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy by Morning
It Is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most g^n
eral, and so we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and Indi-
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation Is many peo-
ple do not seem to know they have
It. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
aliment To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn-
ing relief will come, without disturb-
ance from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use It rrgularly In
such emergencies, some of them form-
erly chronic Invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr. A. B. Danner, 326 Riley St.. Har-
risburg. Pa., says: "Dr. Caldwell's
8yrup Pepsin gave me almost Instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou-
ble. I now eat anything I want, and
sleep well." Many others will tell you
that they have tried most things rec-
ommended for this purpose but have
found Syrup Pepsin the only one al-
ways reliable. A bottle can be obtain-
ed at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar, the latter size being bought

MOVEMENT THAT WAS FATAL
8ltter at a Loss to Understand Why
Temporary Absence Should Have
Spoiled the Plate.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee was talking, at
a luncheon in Washington, about tar-
iff revision.
"We must obey the country's man-
date," he said. "If we don't, our tariff
revision will be disastrous We'll fall
as lamentably as the sitter for the wet-
plate photograph.
"When photography first began, you
know, they used wet plates, and a
sitter required eight or nine minutes.
Well, a man once went to be taken,
Mid the photographer put in his wet
plate, demanded perfect immobility,
and took off the cap.
During the long exposure, the pho-
tographer left the room a moment. On
his return everything seemed to be
going all right, but when the exposure
ended, and he rushed to his closet
to develop the wet plate, there was
nothing on It but a blur.
"Very much disgusted, he showed
this blur to the sitter.
" You must have moved," he said.
"The Bitter looked at the spoiled
plate and laughed in amazement.
" iWell, I declare!' he Bald. 'Who'd
have thought that Just running over
to the. window for a minute to see
a drunken man would have done all
that? I sat right down again.'"
Mr. A. B. Danner.
by families already familiar with Its
merits.
Syrup Pepsin is mild, pleasant-tast-
ing. and non-griping. Mothers give it
to tiny Infants, and yet it is effective
in grown-ups. It is for everyone who
sufTers from any form of stomach,
liver or bowel trouble, constipation
dyspepsia, biliousness, etc. Its action
will so delight you that you will for-
ever avoid harsh cathartics, purga
tives, pills and salts.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would
like to make a personal trial of It be-
fore buying It In the regular way of a
druggist, send your address—a postal
will do—to Dr. W. B Caldwell. 203

Pneumonia and Erysipelas Serum.
Not long before his death last Feb-
ruary Dr. Philip Hanson Bliss of Bal-
timore discovered serum for the treat-
ment of pneumonia and erysipelas,
which are now being tested with much
Interest. Dr. Ford of the Johns Hop-
kins Medical school, who followed Dr.
Miss In his work. Bays that the serum
for pneumonia is not a cure in any
such sense as the antitoxin for diph-
theria, but that it is helpful In th#
treatment of the disease.

Broom Corn Growers.
Broom corn seed should not be pur-
chased from any Individual or firm un-
less they are responsible and willing
to tell where the seed was grown and
the condition surrounding the grow-
ing crop. ABk the firm or person
whether it is seed from the trash pile,
as no one desires to take any chances
by misrepresenting through tho malls.
Under no circumstances buy seed from
seed piles containing unknown quality,
maturity or vitality. If your local deal-
ers cannot furnish you seed of known
quality, write Chas. A. Steel, 702 Put-
nam Bldg., Davenport, Iowa, for broom
corn seed information.
"Test Your Broom Corn Seed."
Test your broom corn seed before
planting time, by taking 200 seeds
plant in a box of molBt dirt, keep box
in warm place until seed is sprouted
through the dirt, count the number of
plants, and If this test does not show
plants better than 86 per cent, do not
plant It.
Broom corn seed should be weJl fan-
ned, so there is no light chaffy, or
poor weak stuff left in your seed.
Pure Broom Corn Seed Most Important
There was never a time when It Is
more important to the broom corn
producers to make an extra effort to
strive in securing pure broom corn
seed as in the past 8 years. So little
care has been taken to prevent the
crossing of the various species that
we are face to face with a problem.
Almost every field of broom corn
grown in Oklahoma and Kansas shows
trace of crossed element which has
been greatly responsible for the wide
range or prices paid In the Hrlous lo-
cal markets.
