Chicago's stockyards, sometimes called “the cow and hog butcher for the world,” have assumed a new role as medicine chest for the world. : Through their medical by-products, mainly glandular preparations, the great packing houses of the Union Stockyards have become known throughout the world as one of the recognized centers of science for ‘the relief of suffering humanity. “In the Armour laboratory fifty- one preparations, including liver ex- tract, pepsin, pancreatin, extract of red marrow and pituary liquid, are produced for the medical profession under the direction of Dr. Fred Fenger, former city chemist of Chicago. Recent discoveries have made ani- mal liver, formerly thrown and given away, one of the most im- portant sources for preparations for regenerating the blood. In addition many other medicinal agents are being made from the membranes and glands of hogs, cattle and sheep. Pepsin, from the liningof a pig’s stomach, is used to aid diges- tion, Pancreatin, made from the hog’s belly sweetbread, is employed to peptonize food for infants and invalids, For use in diseases due to lack of thyroid secretion, such as goiter, thyroid glands of sheep are ground into powder and made into tablets. Superanalin, a powerful astrin- gent and heart stimulant is worth more than $5000 a pound, but 135,- 000 sheep are necessary to produce that pound. The preparation is made from glands located just above the sheep’s kidney. It is al- so used in bloodless operations on the eye and nose and in India it is used for cobra bites to stimulate heart action after the snake poison curdles the blood. Liver extracts are used for the relief and cure of secondary and pernicious anemia. Scientists declare that the use of animal glands as medicine is still in its infancy and that the by-pro- duct of the stockyards will in the future. become one of the most im- portant. MOTORISTS SHOULD GIVE SIGNAL OF INTENTIONS. Do not fail to give the proper signal when starting, stopping or pulling away from the curb, S. Ed- ward Gable, president of the Lan- caster Automobile Club, warns mo- torists. The fact that the windows of your car are closed or the cur- tains in place, does not excuse you for failing to signal your intentions, he says. “Too frequently accidents are caused through failure of the driv- er to give the proper signal,” said Mr, Gable. “This is particularly so in cold weather, when many drive with windows closed or the car completely curtained.” “The Motor Code the driver of any vehicle upon a highway before stopping, starting, or turning from a direct line shall first see that such movement can be made in safety and shall give a signal plainly visible to ‘the driver of such other vehicle of the inten- tion to make such movement. The signal shall be given either by means of hand and arm, or by an approved mechanical or electrical signal device. “Whenever the signal is given by means of the hand and arm the driver shall indicate his or her in- tention to start, stop or turn by ex- tending the hand horizontally from and beyond the left side of the ve- hicle, or, if he is driving a closed vehicle, by his hand 3nd arm in such a way as to be visible through the window in the rear of the ve- hicle. This places the full responsibility upon the driver and if an accident happens through the failure to give the proper signal the blame rests with him, In order to avoid acci- dents that happen in this way be sure that you givea clear and prop- er signal when about to start stop turn or pull away from the curb.” provides that Simple as That Over lunch in a London hotel one day not long ago, a certain wealthy but unlettered man was invited by a friend to join his shooting party in Scotland later that week. “Man,” said the prospective guest, “that’s a splen- did idea. I'll get on the telephone at once and get my man to clean my gun.” He rose and rang up his house. “Is that you, Forbes,” he said to his serv- ant. “Well, I want you to go ahead at once and get my gun cleaned.” “Beg pardon, sir,” said the man, “did you say ‘gum? ” “No,” shouted the Scot, “I said ‘gun’—G for Jew, U for union, and N for pneumatic.” Tinned Stuff Used in Navy More than 19,000,000 pounds of canned goods are consumed by the sailors of the United States navy in a year. Canned tomatoes take the lead in vegetables, followed by peas, corn and stringless beans. Among fruits, peaches lead, followed closely by pineapple, then come prunes, apple sauce, apricots, pears, figs and rais- ins. Figs are relatively new in the canned goods products, but the navy uses them to the extent of 540,000 pounds annually. Thrifty, Lying Americans?

Shope Lumber Co. | “Dutch Treat” Makes No : Hit With Modern Girl To the young man who writes to ask if it is proper to let the girls pay. for their share of an evening's entertain. ment we reply that it is. Perfectly proper but highly improbable. Experiments have been made In this direction, but somehow or other they didn't work. Even when the girls propose the idea it doesn’t make 4 hit with them if the boys take them too literally in the final settlement. Posi-tivvly. the girls don’t like it. May: be it is because woman is more con. gservative than man. and one of her inherited privileges is to say that the woman pays while she sees that the man does it. Of course. when the girls suggest a dutch treat the wise thing is to seem to fall in with the idea. and then ta buzz your own girl into granting you the very special favor of letting you pay her shot. You can do this in the strictest confidence and with the safe promise not to tell anyone. You won’t have to tell. The chances are that all the other hovs are begging—and re ceiving—the same inestimable favor of paving the bill.—San Francisco Chron icle. Bear’s Propensity for Hugging Termed Myth The proverbial hugging propensity of bears is probably a myth: notwith- standing a vast amount of alleged testimony to the contrary. Literature, reference books und works on natural history contain numerous references to the “crushing embrace” or “deathly hug” of beurs. Pope, for instance, says, ‘“rpis a bear's talent not to kick. but bug.” Nearly all careful observers are agreed that this notion is erroneous. It probably arose from faulty observa- tion. Dr. W. Reid Blair, director of the New York Zoological park, says on this subject: “In regard to the proverbial | hug, the story is apparently devoid of foundation. A bear, on account of its anatomical structure. strikes round with its paws as if grasping, and the blow of its powerful arm drives its claws into the body of its victim,which action apparently gave rise to its hug- ging reputation.”—Exchange. ; Feminine Punctuation Of the national magazines especial- ly devoted to the interest of women and largely written by them 1 dis cover none which applies even a mod- erately civilized degree of editorial restraint in the matter of purposeless quotation marks. Women—apparently without any teaching or encouragement except from each other—have evolved their own idiom in the quotation mark, the exclamation point, the dash, the un- derline. So instinctive is many a woman's use of these devices where no man would think of using them that one actually hears them con stantly in her oral utterances. Femi- nine punctuation alone can make a statistical essay on insurance read like baby talk.—Wilson Follett in the Bookman. Street of Monuments «Victoria Embankment, London,” writes “Looker-On” in the London Daily Chronicle, “may well hold the world’s record for. monuments in any thoroughfare of the same length. For variety, too, it takes a lot of sur- passing. Monarchy fs represented at each extremity by queens: Victoria at Blackfriars and Boadicea at West- minster. In between are statesmen, scholars, poets, soldiers, journalists, musicians and composite memorials. Everybody, of course, ‘knows all about it’ Yet I doubt if one person in ten could put on paper six of the names or deeds represented. Up to the Barber Bill had bright red hair. He bad heard so much about it that he hated it even though he was only three. One day his mother told him she was going to take him to the barber shop to get his hair cut. «Then take me to a& barber who will cut it black,” said Bill. ————— DISTURBED SLEEP Is One of Natures Warnings of Dan- ger Ahead. Mrs. Annie L. Denson, 214 Wykes St., Aliquippa, Pa., says, “For 9 years I suffered agony with my bladder. Was told the only hope for a cure was an operation. Dreaded to see night come as I was disturbed many nights an operation. D ’) many nights every 15 minutes. Af- ter taking Lithiated Buchu (Keller Formula) a few days, I had much relief. I am now almost cured. Sleep all night without being dis- turbed. I have gained 18 pounds. I am always glad to tell or write my full experience.” It acts on bladder as epsom salts do on bowels. Drives out foreign deposits and lessens ex- cessive acidity. This relieves the ir- ritation that causes getting u nights.

Of this number 3,194 were two. point bucks, 5,721 were three-point, and 13,799 were “four-points or over, A great many deer had antlers ranging from six to 12 and 14 points, and some even more. The largest of the animals, their generally healthy con- dition, and their extremely large racks was one. of the outstanding features of the season, although in sections where does were not killed last year the bucks were not up to par. The illegal deer taken totalled 1,098. It is to be remem- bered that during the buck season of 1927, 14,374 legal animals were taken, Last year during the season on antlerless deer, 25,097 were taken. The kill of legal bears totalled 445, and was larger than that of last year when 427 were taken, and of 1927 when only 221 were killed. Twenty-six illegal bears were taken, Twelve legal and eight illegal elk were taken. Last year only six were killed, A slight decrease was noted in the kill of raccoons over last year, but the figures greatly exceed the kill of 1927. This year 37,600 were taken; in 1928 41,008; and in 1927, 22,070. The kill of wild turkeys totalled 3,334 as against 2,362 during 1928, Ringnecked pheasants increased more than 63000 over 1928. This year 206,600 male birds were killed as against 143,239 during 1928, Quail dropped slightly despite the fact that excellent reports of these birds were noted both prior and during the small , game season. 185.268 quail were killed as against 125110 during 1928. Despite the slight decrease in one or two species, the 1929 game sea- son both large and small, can be considered one of the finest, TEST MULCH PAPER IN MANY GARDEN TRIALS. _ Numerous trials were made dur- ing the past year with the use of mulch paper in the production of garden crops. : Gardeners using the paper be- lieved that it might prevent weed growth, eliminate cultivation, and produce earlier crops by raising the soil temperature and conserving soil moisture, Generally, the paper used was black, impervious to water, and as- phalt-coated and impregnated. Var- ious methods have been used in laying the paper. Wherever pos- area laid on sloping land so as to catch a maximum amount of rain water. Soil, wire staples, or laths with wire staples were used to hold down Despite this assistance curred, A strong wind is likely to tear the paper. It also is easily torn when the spaces between the strips of paper are weeded. A tiny hole in the paper usually is found by some weed or plant which seems to make the most rapid growth without any competition. According to reports from vari- ous parts of Pennsylvania and the United States there is no doubt that the paper is effective in control- conserving soil temperature, Ross states. The cost of the paper at the present time and the difficulty in laying it, how. | of vegetable crops ever, make its value doubtful the production for market, Actual yield records during the past year are conflicting, The paper seems to have a place with certain market value and in some where it is desired to eliminate cultivation and to utilize space to the best advantage. e—————— eee — U. 8S.

Edlund, general director of the Cleanliness Institute, at the annual meeting of the Association of American Soap and Glycerine Producers. Higher cleanliness standards incul- cated into our people by physicians, public health authorities and educa- tors have made necessary the out- put of 3,000,000 pounds of soap each year.
