The new firearms law wont into
effocton Sept. 1st, one provision
of which rnake9 it criminal for a
boy under sixteen years ot ago to
oven carry or own an air rille.
Further it becomes a misdemean
or for a parent or other person to
prosent a boy under the age given
with an air rifle, while the law
makes it equally wrongful for the
boy to accept such g' ft. It is as
sumed that other provisions of
the law, forbidding the ownership
of a gun without a permit, are
generally known by this time.
If you are not familiar with this
law, you better get on the safe
side by investigating and con
forming thereto.

About Tour and a Half Gallons Con
tain Same Nutritive Value as a
Quart of Skim Milk.
Coffee substitutes of Domestic
manufacture havo long been
known. An infusion of parched
corn, or corn coffee, has met with
some favor in the household as a
drink for invalids, etc. Parched
wheat, peas, beans, and corncobs,
as well as sweet potatoes, cut into
small pieces and dried and parch
ed, have also been used. Such
drinks are usually resorted to in
times of scarcity, or when, for
one reason or another, it is not
possible to obtain tiue coffee.
Chicory is also a well-known sub
statute lor coffeo, although it is
generally used mixed in larger
or smaller proportion with true
co (Too, and by many such mix
tures are preferred to coffee
alone, as the chicory is thought
to improvo the flavor.
There has recently appeared on
the market a considerable num
ber of coffee substitutes which
generally claim to be made from
cereals. In most cases the claim
is also made that such beverages
are especially wholesome, and in
some cases that they have a high
food value. The value as food of
coffeo or any such beverage is
evidently due (1) to the material
extracted from the coffee (or oth
er substance) by the water used,
and (2) to the sugar and milk or
cream added to the infusion. As
the bulk of the infusion is water,
it is obvious that the food value
can not be great.
The composition of a large
number of samples of coffee and
coffeo substitutes has been stud
ied at the Connecticut State Sta
tion. The food value of coffee
substitutes has been studied by
Maine Station.
The Connecticut State Station
found that while some coffee sub
stitutes contain a little true cof
fee, probably added to give them
flavor, most were, as they claim
ed, "free from coffee. Such goods
were usually composed of one or
more roasted grains (barley,
wheat, etc ), pea hulls, and a paste
made of wheat middlings. Flour,
meal, and other ground grains
contain a little soluble material
but, as is well known, the bulk of
the material in them is insoluble.
When the cereals are roasted, a
portion of the carbohydrates is
caramelized and rendered soluble.
It is therefore undoubtedly true
that the roasted material is more
soluble than the unroasted.
The infusion of the cereal coffees
studied at the Maine Station was
in every case made according to
the directions accompanying the
material. The amount of the cer
eal coffee which was recommend
ed to be used varied considerably,
and consequently the strength
of the infusion varied within rath
er wide limits. When made ac
cording to directions, a pound of
material yielded from 20 to 180
cups. .
The average amount of soluble
material in the different samples
(and hence the total food material
in the infusion, not counting su
gar and milk or cream added)
varied from 22.4 to 51.2 per cent.
This was made up from 1.4 to 4 9
per cent, protein, 13.4 to 4 1 9 per
cent, carbohydrates, and 15 to
4.1 ash. The average cereal cof
fee infusion had the following
percentage composition: Water,
98.2; protein, 0 2, and carbohy
drates, 1 4, while tho fuel value
was 30 calories per pound. Skim
milk, which is ordiuarily consid
ered a rather "thin" beverage,
contains 3 5 per cent protein, 0.3
per cent fat, 5.15 per cent carbo
hydrates, and 0 8 per centash, or
almost twenty times as much
food material as the average of
the beverages made from cereal
j coffee. If made according to di
J rections, one would have to drink
j 4 gallons of an infusion of one
or them wnicn maae an especial
claim to high nutritive value in
order to get as much food as is
contained in a quart of skim milk.
i Tho comments hero made are
in no wise intended to condemu
these beverages, but to point out
that the claims for great nutritive
value are not founded on fact.
Whether hot beverages are or
ire not hygienic, a chemical si udy
can not show, but from the chem
icd composition of tho infusions
it is a simple task to pass upin
their tnonU as food

lycousumod on account of its
food value, but on account of its
agreeublo flavor, ltalsocoutains
a small amount of an alkaloid,

properties. This is entirely lack
hip in cereal coffees if they are,
as they claim, made entirely from
cereal grains. C. F. Langworthy.
HELPFUL' HINTS ON HAIR HEALTH.
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by Carelessness.
Dandruff is a contagious dis
ease caused by a microbo which
also produces baklnes. Never
use a comb or bush belonging
to some one else. No matter how
cleanly the owner may be, these
articles may be infected with mi
crobes, which will infect your
scalp. It is lar easier to catch
hair microbes than it is to get rid
of them, and a single stroke of an
mfected comb or brush may well
lead to baldness. Never try on
anybody else's hat. Many a hat
band is a resting place for mic
robes. If you happen to be troubled
with dandruff, itching scalp, fall
ing hair or baldness, we have a
remedy which we beliave will
completely relieve these troubles.
We are so sure of this that wo of
fer it to you with the understand
ing that it will cost you nothing
for the trial if it does net produce
the results we claim. This rem
edy is called Rexall '93, Hair
Tonic. We honestly believe it to
be the most scientific remedy for
scalp aod hair troubles, and we
know of nothing else that equals
it for effectiveness, because of
the results it has produced in
thousands of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devis
ed to banish dandruff, restore
natural color when-its loss has
been brought about by disease,
and make the hair naturally silky,
soft and glossy. It does this be
cause it stimulates tue hair folli
cles, destroys the germ matter,
and brings about a free, healthy
circulation of blood, which nour
ishes the hair roots, causing them
to tighten and grow new hair.
We want everybody who has any
trouble with hair or scalp to know
that we think that Rexall "93"
Uair Tonic is the bast hair tonic
and restorative in existence, and
uo one should scoff at or doubt
this statement until they have
put our claims to a fair test, with
the understanding that they pay
us nothing for the remedy if it
does not give full and complete
satisfaction in every particular.
Two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00.

Remedies in McConnellsburg

ADAPT FERTILIZERS TO 80ILS.
Select Kind That Will Build up the
Land.
It would be much better If the users
of commercial fertilizers would get
Into the habit of adapting the fertiliz
er to the soil lnntend of Becking a
fertilizer that Is adapted to the crop
grown.
The objoct In using fertilizer should
bo the building up of the soil rather
than growing a certain crop and a
fortlllzer which will balance up the
plant food already In the soil Is an
economical fertilizer to use on any
crop since the effects of Its applica
tion will show on any crop that Is
adapted to the locality.
A fanner cannot afford to buy all
of tiie plant food that his crop will
use In its growth. Then why should
he buy anything that his soil will fur
nish to the crop In sufficient quanti
ties? True, some crops will take more
of a certain element of plant food
than another will. Some crops have
the power of getting more food from
a soil than others have.
It is better to remedy this by adopt
ing a Judicious rotation of crops In
which legumes will supply the nitro
gen and help to keep up the humus
supply.
It Is unfortunate for the farmer
that the fortlllzer manufacturers h-.ve
adopted the plan of recommending
certain mixtures for special crops and
thus presume to adapt the fertilizer
to the crop rather than to sell the
goods on their merits for the nitro
gen, potash and phosphorous acid they
contain and leave tho farmer to se
lect the goods best adapted to his
soil and conditions.
The plan of ndaptlng the fertilizer
to the soil would Induce more study
on the subject of fertilizers and would
lend to a more intelligent use of fer
tilizers. Too many farmers depend entirely
upon the manufacturers of fertilizers
to select the goods for them.
Picking High Fruit.
Peaches, pears, apples, etc., out of
reach by ordinary, means can be gath
ered by using the device shown in the
Picker for High Fruit,
accompanying Illustration without
bruises, says the Prairie Farmer.
Bend a stout wire in a circle and
sew to It a small bag. Attach the
wire to a long pole. This will enable
you to pull fruit from the top of a
tree without injuring It.
Redeeming a Neglected Garden.
Discouraging as a neglected garden
may appear, it is not beyond redemp
tion, even so late In the season but
It must be taken hold of at once.
Stunted and falling crops, choked by
weeds, should be pulled out at once,
weeds and all, and burned, and the
ground plowed or spaded, and re
planted. How much more satisfactory and
profitable It might have been to have
planted only half the space, und
worked it well, than to have scattered
the available labor over the entire
ground and do nothing to perfection.
A garden with rows upon rows of
all the delicious vegetables of mid
summer and not a weed to be found,
Is indeed a pleasant picture. But how
few of that cluss are found! Instead
of choice vegetables there are rank
weeds, and where order and beauty
should reign, desolation stares at one
In too many family gardens, cnused
In the majority of cases by simply
"biting off more than we can chaw."
Method of Keeping Potatoes.
A German publication, the Practical
Adviser In Fruit Raising and Garden
ing, states that a new method for
keeping potatoes and preventing
sprouting consists In placing them on
a luyer of coke. Dr. Schiller, of Bruns
wick, who has published the method,
Is of the opinion that the improved
ventilation by means of coke Is not
alone responsible for the result, but
believes that it Is due to the oxidation
of tho coke, which, however, is a very
slow one. Coke always contains sul
phur, and it is very possible that the
minute quantities of oxides of carbon
and milphur, which result from the
oxidation, mixing with the air and
penetrating among the potatoes are
sufficient to greatly retard sprouting.
Potatoes so trented are said to koep
In good condition until the following
July.
Frequent cuttings will kill off sweet
clover which becomes a pest In some
places.
