Granville Ed wards, who lives at School- field, near Danville, Va., was troubled for a long time with constipation and Its attend ant Ills, which kept him from feeling fit. He writes: "Luckily I then, which was about twenty years ago, heard about Black-Draught and be- j gaa to take it. After tak- ing Black-Draught, for a little while I notice d that r.iy trou ble began to disappear. The poisons, which had accumu lated in the body, as a result h.j of constipation, wore elinii- |N‘ nated, and I felt a hundred \f per cent, better.

WALNUT TREE CROP , BETTER THAN GRAIN 1 Farmers who expect their children i to follow them us agriculturists would do well to consider wulnut trees us a profitable crop. Ira Stout, a farmer living near Sulphur Springs, Henry county, says a good walnut was plant ed 08 years ago on Ids farm, growing into a tree for which he recently was offered $350, says the Anderson (lad.) llernld. Thirty-eight years ago Mr.' Stout planted many walnuts from Hie par ent tree. One of the resulting trees has .last been sawed Into lumber, yield ing 205 board feet ot lirst-class walnut lumber. In the standing tree this was worth $31.80. A grove of 200 of these same trees would yield $1GS an acre net profit annually. The trees pro duce sufficient nuts to pay for plant ing costs and upkeep. So Hie state forestry department is urging farmers who may have some waste ground, to send for walnut seed lings at one-half cent each and let them grow into money. Indiana needs more walnut, ash, oak and tulip poplar trees, such as were removed when the land was cleared three generations ago. Lamp Rays Employed to Detect Forgeries A lamp, manufactured by a German, gives out Invisible rays that read se cret \yriling, test food, and detect for geries. This wonderful lamp is made of quartz, to permit the passage of ultra violet light, and is equipped with a tilter which absorbs ail the visible rays of the spectrum. When the pow erful ‘ black light” of the lamp falls on any one of a huge class of sub stances, the substance ‘‘tells Its story” by giving off a deep purple, green, or brilliant orange light. Different kinds of papers glow with different colors under ultra-violet rays, depending on how, and of what, they. are made. Thus it is easy to detect the genuineness of bank-notes or rare postage stamps by comparing under the rays the one in doubt with others known to be authentic. Hawaiians Refuse to Let Language Pass “Hawaii has, by force of circum stances, become Europeanized, or rather Americanized, but the natives have tio intention of allowing their old customs or languages to lapse,” said a visitor to the island to a Lou don Daily Express representative. “The church is used for the preser vation of the language. It has, as a rule, no set sermon. “Addresses are given by invitation, so that any distinguished visitor may lie asked to deliver the address. Everything is carried on in the Ha waiian language and, though prac tically every one in the congregation is fully conversant with English and. in fact, uses it for daily commerce, the address Is Interpreted into Ha waiian if it is not delivered In that language. Unanswerable Indictment Dawn McNeill, the Duluth queen of beauty, said in an interview at At lantic City: “Brices have gone up horribly since 1 was a little girl. In this hotel here the price of a front room with a bath is almost inabordable as Lite French «ty i and when it cot”OS to French frocks—well, we girls are paying live times as much for a French frock as we used to, and yet—” Miss McNeill glanced coquet!i-dd.v down at her crossed silken knees. —“and yet,” she ended, “we are not getting a liflh as much for our money.” World’s Population The population of the world is esti mated at 1,900,000,000 by the World Peace foundation on tbe basis of fig ures prepared by llte League of Na tions. Former estimates usually placed Die total population of the earth at between 1,000,000,000 and 1,700,000,000. Such estimates tire naturally conflict ing, Inasmuch as In many parts ot tlm world, such as in the interior of China, no census Is ever taken. However, these figures probably represent the population of the world in a general way.—Pathfinder Magazine. ‘ France Tries Iron Roads Bonds of iron are being tested by government engineers at Le Mans, France, where part of a main high way, the Avenue Leon Belle, has been paved with ten tons of east iron plates. These plates, reports Popular Science Monthly, present a slightly corrugated non kid surface, having the advantage of being smooth for motor cars, yet rohgh enough to pre- ! vent horses from slipping. Besides I their obvious durability, they ufford I a new use for old iron. BRIN G T HIS AD TO Mrs. C. W.

The X-ray was turned on, but a pro longed search of .Tolmnie’s anatomy j disclosed no trace of the missing coin, j Lie was detained for 2-1 hours to be kept under the muse’s observation, j A few hours afterward, the tactful nurse, finding her patient subdued and i sad, said to him: “Well, Johnnie, tell j me truly, did you swallow the ha’ penny V” Johnnie (crying)—“No, I spent it. I was frightened I would get a lickin’!” “Oh, Johnnie! Do you know where little hoys go to who tell lies?” “Yes; to the infirmary.”—London Answers. Mads Cood C Speculating on the dev qmiont of gome popular convenience Invented for the comfort of mankind E Hazardous and bad guesses are shown many times, as was the case with John E. Baudall, consulting electrical engineer, who said 30 years ago when the in candescent lamp was brought out, he expected to see the number of lamps in use increase 25 per cent each year. He looked into the future and in )02(J estimated there would be 15,000,- 000 lamps in use. Last year, aside from the smaller lamps for special purposes, there were 315,000,000 lamps made in the factories of this country. Breed's Origin in Doubt A number of theories, have hcen ad- j vanceil and considerable controversy | has at times arisen regarding the source and method of origin of the | Great Dane. The name indicates that j litis dog is native to Denmark, yet it, is common knowledge that the breed’s more recent development is directly traceable to the efforts of German fan clers. Great Danes have been bred for centuries abroad nnd records as far back as tbe Egyptian period prove that n dog of this type was then in ex istence. It is presumed that the breed descended from such dogs nnd that possibly Lite ancestral Great Dane stock spread to Germany, where ir crossed with tlio blood of the Ulnu i Dogge, Rottweiler Metzerghund, etc. The name “Deutsche Dogge” was adopted ns the official title for the breed in Germany late in the Nine teenth century and ns such it is now known in that country. A Short, Short Sicry fie loved her. Site loved him. They loved each other. But Ills mother didn't like her mother. And her mother didn’t like his mother. And her father didn’t like his in come. And his father didn’t like her ex travagance. .So they were married and lived quite uillmppily until his father nnd iter father and his mother and her mother all became grandparents.—Life. Fifty-Fifty Intelligent Dog Toodlcs, one of tbe ordinary (log3 of Sacra twenty Calif., is very fond of riding In His master’s ear, but tHis par ticular morning Toodles refused such a ride. His master could not coax him away from the hack yard. A lit tle later tt peddler called, and the dog chased him away from the premises. Then tt neighbor entered the yard and was chased but. That, led the lady of the house to Investigate. She found that her husband Had dropped his wal let, which contained $140, and that tbe dog was guarding it “When girls talk of going 50-50 with their boy friends, it makes me laugh,” said the cynical commuter on ( the midnight local one night tills i week. “What they mean is, tHat once In a ' while they’ll pay their half of the dinner check—but, of course, let the j man do the tipping. And they never 1 think of paying the whole cheek. i “Women have asserted their Inde- I pendence in many ways—but they still : like to he dependent on men when it comes to paying tlie bills.” All of tbe other commuters in tlie smoker of the midnight local, where ! no women are allowed, nodded In j agreement.—Philadelphia Record. I An Exception “You can’t he in two pinces at tlio same time,” remarked the Thoughtful Guy. “Well, I’ve boon In debt nnd in bad at the same time plenty of times,” re torted the Wise Guy.—Cincinnati En quirer. Few Women Engineers As yet women have been attracted to the study of engineering in only small numbers. Of the 41 women technical engineers reported in a re cent United States census, 18 were civil engineers, 12 electrical engineers, nnd 11 mechanical engineers. Wyatt and If is Cat It Is snid that Sir Henry Wyatt, I who was a privy councilor under King j Henry VII of England, always had bis j picture painted with a cat beside him, \ because when lie was confined by | Richard III in a cold and dark tower ! where lie had neitHer food to eat not j lire to keep him warm, a eat brought 1 him regularly every day a pigeon for bis dinner and kept llte warmth in his body by permitting Sir Henry to caress Iter. He was an ancestor of Sir Francis Wyatt, one of tlie early gov ernors of the colony of Jamestown.— , Pathfinder Magazine. Everybody Happy “You all seen) to enjoy your radio.” ‘‘Veh, father likes' the bedtime stories, while little Oswald gets a great kick out of the Wall street re ports.” Financial Fluctuations “Mr. Feathergilt says lie never knows exactly how much he is worth.” “Of course, he doesn't,” replied Miss Cayenne, “llis wife plays bridge.’* Has Trouble The proprietor slood cn tlie front veranda of Ids hotel. “Help! Help I” a drowning man was shouting from llte lake. The proprietor stood unmoved. “Help! Help!” again pitifully canto the cry over the placid lake. “Aw, shut up U* growled the hotel owner. “I’m struggling with the help problem, too, hut you don’t hear me yelling about it!” Wait and See Pasadena, Calif.—Styles In butter flies for the summer of 11927—or 10,000 years hence—will show more vivid nnd lighter coloring nnd some larger models, according to Guilder, national authority on evolution. Historic English Churches Excavations at Canterbury, Eng land, disclosed the church of St. Petei and St. Paul, begun by Augustine In 598 and consecrated in 013. St. Mar tin’s church marks tlie spot where Augustine and his 40 companions, on their arrival from Rome in 597 A. D., began their efforts to convert the in habitants of the southwestern part of England. Middle Age Battle Cries The names “Guelph” and “Gltibel- line” originated In Germany in the Twelfth century in a contest of rival families for the title of “Emperor.” During the siege of Weinsberg the fol lowers of Count Welf shouted the name of their lender, while tlie oilier party took up tlie cry of “Waiblings,” Waiblingen having been the birthplace of Frederick, tlie brother of the Em peror Conrad. These names came to represent principles as well as fam ilies and ns suclt were carried to Italy, where they were , corrupted into “Guelph” and "Ghibelline." Good Things to Eat in Odu Restaurant The marquis nml I got along like a couple of long lost poker chips In Flor ence. Jle invited me to dine at the fa mous Buca Lnpi. Bticn means “Hole in tlio wall,” and Lnpi is tlio name of the three brothers who dug tlie hole finder the historic Auditor! palace, George Rector writes, in the Saturday Evening Post. lou go into this restaurant hack ward, ns the entrance Is clown a flight of fiat-footed marble steps. The first man you meet is the dishwasher, scrubbing away at ancient pots and battered chlnnwnre. Then you walk through the vegetable department, and after Hint you must pass through the kitchen before you skid down another flight of steps to the restaurant proper. The remarkable thing about the Buca La pi Is the smallness of the kitchen, for everything is prepared and cooked on a lliglit of steps and a landing. But their food Is wonderful nnd Buca Lnpi is one place in Europe where you can sink your teeth into n genu ine T-bone steuk, die primest of prime beef. The Florentine T-bone steak Is from die Tuscan steer nnd is the finest meat ever broiled on a lliglit of steps. It is cooked over charcoal on a small grill, i remember that grill because it is located on die third step from the bottom. W. B, T OWN SEND, Editor and Pro Ingenious Method of Ascertaining a Date In the days when calendars were not known people bad a clever way of finding die day of any fixed anni versary. The only fact you bad to know was the day of the week on which New Year’s came. A key sen tence of 12 words was used in which one word stood for each of tlie 12 ‘months. The sentence was: “At Dover dwelt George Brown, esquire, good Christopher Finch and David Friar.” Take, for example, die Fourth of July. As July is the seventh month, take the first letter of the seventh word of the key sentence; that is, g; g is also the seventh letter of the ni- phubet. So begin with Monday, the known New Year day, nnd count seven days. Tims Sunday will be found to he the 1st day of July and the 4th will be the following Wednes day. Another illustration: To find the day of tlie week,of a birthday fall ing on tlie 7th of May. As May is die fifth month, take the first letter of tlie corresponding fifth word of tlie key sentence; that is, b; b is also the second letter of die alphabet. So be gin witli Monday, the known New Year’s day, and count two days. Thus Tuesday will he found to he the 1st day of May and the birthday will be the following Monday. Peach of a Coolz Tlie peach season had arrived nnd mother had baked a pcttcli cobbler one evening for dinner. Jean, age four, had eaten her first helping mid sat looking about wistfully at the other members of die family, who wore eating theirs more slowly. Final ly she mustered ip the courage to ask for another helping. Her father, glancing at her empty dish, remarked: “You scorn to like that pretty well, don't you, Jennie?” “Oli, daddy, I just love it,” was Jean’s answer. “I'm mighty glad you married diis Indy, ’cause she can certainly make the best peach cob bler I ever tasted.” “The Curfew Tolls'* Scattered about Great Britain are a few places where still “the curfew tolls tbe knell of parting day.” St. Nicholas, Bristol, maintains the cits torn. Earlsferry, In Fifesshire is an other instance nnd so Is Midhurst In Sussex, where it is heard every eve ning at eight o’clock. Tradition has it that about 1700 a merchant on his way to London lost himself hi the great woods to tlio north of his town nnd found his way to houses by hear ing the bells of Midhurst church. In gratitude lie left n litlle garden, still called Curfew garden, die rent of which pays for the daily ringing of tbe curfew bell. Start of Big Industry lee cream was first made cominer daily In tills country in 1851 by Jacob Fussell, a milk dealer of Washington and Baltimore, who began Its iii.itm Picture as a side line to Ids regUlni business. Ills methods were very crude and laborious, and Ids equip ment exceedingly simple; a disltpan was partly filled with Ice mid salt, in which was placed u smaller dishpan containing the Ingredients. Freezing was executed b.y revolving the smallei pan in the mixture of ice and salt The total output of Mr. Fussell's fne tory at first amounted to only a few quarts per day.
