“YOU'D BETTER KNOCK WOOD”
Superstition That It la Declared
Dates Back to the Days of
8ylvan Gods.
Signs and omens are seriously re
garded by many people who would
feel insulted at being called Supersti
tious. If you doubt it, pay attention
to what your wife says next time a
knife or fork talla from the table to
the floor while you are aerenely en
joying dinner.
How often have you been told, when
you were boasting about good health,
to knock on wood? This Is one of the
common fancies, so common that It
passed into vaudeville literature In
the form of a song entitled "Knock
Wood,” or “Touch Wood,” according
to copyright privileges. It Is an old
^superstition, If that be the correct
term for a custom that dates back
to the time when the oak and ash
GET RID OF THE SQUEAKS
Annoying Noises That Are Frequent
Even In the Best-Built Houses
Can Be Stopped.
fopse are very tew houses which
do not have floors that are always
squeaking as persons walk over them.
Such squeaking Is very annoying, and
many different suggestions have been
made to remedy the nuisance, but, cu
riously enough, only a tew of the sug
gestions have proven of any real
value.
Many persons think the squeaking is
caused by the flooring boards not be
ing properly nailed, but In most cases
this Is not the case at all.
The tongues and grooves of the nar
row boards'do not always flt togeth
er exactly tight, and a little pressure
on either side of the crack and bet
tween joints, where the boards are
nailed, will cause the boards to spring
and rowan were held sacred to sylvan al “* ree *blo
deities.
It Is reported that when Mr. As-
squeaking sounds.
The best remedy for a squeaky floor
Is to apply a little liquid glue to the

FARMERS’HDWE. GO.
Washington, D. C>, June.—A new
method of preparing anti-hog cholera
serum, which permits the economical
production of a clear sterilised pro
duct, has been described in the Jour
nal of Agricultural Research of the
United States department of agricul
ture. Tho advantage claimed for the
new method is that it makes possible
the production of free anti-hog chol
era scrum, which can be quickly ster
ilized by heat to a point that will ab
solutely kill any germs of foot-and-
r.iouth diseases and so yield a serum
that is absolutely safe, even if taken
from a hog which might harbor foot-
and-mouth disease and yet give no in
dication of being infected.
The method, as described by its
coverers, Dr. Marion Dorset and R. R.
Honley, of the biochemic division, bu
reau of animal industry, consists in
adding a slight amount of an extract
from ordinary white navy beans to
the deftbrinated hog cholera-immune
blood, which has been the form of the
serum used in the pa--t. The addi
tion of this bean extract causae the
red cells of the blood to agglutinate
and, when the mixture is whirled on a
centrifuge, the red cells pack togeth-
and form a rather stiff, jelly-like
mass.
It is then possible to pour off a
clear serum, leaving behind the red
cells which play no port in preventing
hog cholera and which, in fact, simply
tend to dilute the serum and render
sterilization by heat impracticable.
To increase the yield of clear serum,
the discoverers added a small amount
ordinary salt and found that they
obtained from 70 to 74 por cont of
clear serum.
The clear scrum thus obtained,
was found, could be heated for thirty
minutes at a temperature of GO de
grees centigrade, without changing
its consistency or lessening in any
way its effectiveness in preventing
hog cholera. The heating to this
point for this time is more than suf
ficient to kill any germs of foot-and-
mouth disease which might accident
ally be present.
Practical teste with hogs show that
probably all of the antibodies useful
in cqmbsting hog cholera w<-re re
tained in the serum and the red cells
extracted contained so few, if any, of
these valuable bodies as to make the
residue of red cells useless in pre
venting the discase<
Before the clear serum was devel
oped, many attempts were made to
sterilize by heat, in a practicable way,
the ordinary deftbrinated blood. It
was found, however, that heating the
old product up to GO degrees centi
grade resulted in more or less com
plete coagulation of the deftbrinated
blood and In the dealru.-tion of the
serum, so.far as its commercial worth
Is concerned.
It was found that the highest tem
perature that could be used was 50
degrees qentigrade, and it was neces
sary to keep the old scrum at this
temperature for twelve hours to make
certain that the vivui of foot-and-
mouth. disease was lolled. Heating
serum at a steady temperature over
this tong period, in ordinary practice,
is difficult and too expensive.
Attempts also were made to get a
clear serum by cuntrifugalizing. It
was found, however, that, while the
rifoge wo.ld separate to some
extent the red cells, they were In such
shape that it was difficult to separate
the serum' completely. An impor
tant quantity of anti bodies was left
behind in the red clot apd the result
ing product was a cloudy, rather than
a clear, serum. With this process,
moreover it was possible ordinarily
to get only about 50 per cent of serum
Under the new method it is pos
sible to obtain as high as 74 per cent
of clear serum, which in actual teat
has proven to be fully potent. This
clear serum, moreover can be com
pletely sterilized in thirty . minutes,
whereas the old serum had to be
heated steadily for twelve hours.
The new form of serum, as far aa
the department knows, is not yet be
ing made or put on sale by the com
mercial serum laboratories. As this
process was discovered by the federal
government, any one in the United
States is free to use it
SECRETARY OF WAR
TO VISIT ATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga., June.—Newton D
Baker the new secretary of war in
President Wilson’s cabinet, who was
appointed to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Secretary Gar
rison, has acccepted the invitation of
the All-South Christian Endeavor con
vention to be held in Atlanta, July

dress of the convention.
This will t be secretary Baker's first
trip to the South since entering the
cabinet. He comes to address two con
ventions, the All-South Christian En
deavor convention in Atlanta, July-
13, and the Alabama State Bar Asso
ciation at Decatur, July 14.
Coming so soon after the national
democratic convention in St. Louis, it
is expected that Secretary Baker will
in a sense, make a speech that shall
be a keynote of tho presidential cam
paign just opening.
The secretary of war is considered
the strongest speaker in the presi
dent's cabinet and he may be depend
ed upon to deliver' a great address.
Three thousand delegates are ex-
ectod to attend this convention, com
ing from all parts of the south. The
railroads have granted especially low
rates and special trains will be run
from many cities. It will be a great
convention in every way.

GOVERNOR HARRIS DENIES
QUITTING THE RACE
Atlanta, Ga., June.—Governor
Nat E. Harris has once more made
emphatic denial of the report which
has again gained circulation that he
would retire from the governor's race.
“You may say for me” said the
governor, “that I am still in the race
qnd that I am running just as fast as
my wind will allow, and that I am a
long way from winded yet.”
'The source front which some of
these reports are gaining circulation
seems to be clear to the governor, and
he intimated that, with the continua
tion of such reports, he would pay his
respects to the circulators in the near
future.
A well known politician, who for
personal reasons asked that his name
be not used, declared his honest Con
viction, after trips over the state,
that Governor Harris will be reelected.
This politician is supporting another
candidate.
Savannah, Ga., June Solicitor
General Walter C. Hartridge has pe
titioned Judge John Rourke, Jr., of
the city court for a mandate order
ing. all of the liquor destroyed which
belonged to the defendants who plead
guilty in his court of violating the pro
hibition laws, or who have been found
guilty and who have not appealed
their cases to the supreme court. The
liquor in question is now being held
by tho police ar.d is said to be worth
several thousand dollars. Judge
Rourke has set July 1 as date for the
hearing. Under the new prohibition
law liquor confiscated by the police
becomes contraband and shall be dc-
rtroyed.
Under a recent ruling of Judge Em
ory Speer, of the United States court,
however, liquor which was on hand
prior to May 1 cannot be destroyed
os contraband when confiscated after
May 1, it is claimed.

Fox Liked Hie Comfort.
An unusual sight met the gaze of a
Duarte (Cal.) man when bo opened
his house tho other morning and found
his swinging seat occupied by a full
grown fox. With tho cushion for a
nest the fox was resting comfortably
and evidently enjoyed hts quarters.
When hla presence became known tho
members of the family came trooping
out to see the,porch climber. Then
the fox disappeared under the house,
where his nature prompted him to
hide until the spectators left the
porch, when, finding tho coast again
clear the fox gracefully jumped on the
porch and Into the swinging Beat, and,
with an almost human air of comfort
and satisfaction, adjusted the pillow
and settled down to complete the
morning nap. When again Interrupted
tho fox disappeared and headed for
the mountains. The theory that it
had escaped from a luxurious captiv
ity probably' accounts for the domestic
tastes of tho visitor.
