He suggests making a careful check on har- vesting machinery before putting it into service. Rotenone Curbs Insects Rotenone dust of one-half to three-fourths percent strength is recommended for control of Mexi- can bean beetles and flea beetles which have been reported aetive in vegetable gardens. Liberal use of hydrated lime, or commercial bait, gives effective control of snails.

Formation of a blood clot in one of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle results in coro- nary thrombosis. When even a portion of the heart muscle is deprived of blood for a length of time, damage results. The seriousness of the occur- rence depends on the size and the location of the branch blood vessel obstructed by the clot. Acute pain is present because some part of the heart is deprived of its necessary blood supply. The older a patient when coro- nary thrombosis strikes, the less the chance for survival. Factors unfavorable to recovery in coronary thrombosis include ad- vanced age, excessive weight and previous attacks. The individual most susceptible to coronary thrombobsis is the business man of executive type or | the man engaged in business de-' manding excessive individual ef- fort. Those who work hard and lead irregular lives are especially vul- nerable to this disease. There are persons, too, whose blood has a greater tendency to clot than others. Careful prolonged treatment of the sufferer from coronary throm- bosis is essential. HUGE SUMS SPENT FOR MINE SAFETY INTEREST IN PAST TWENTY YEARS More than 100 different safety devices, machines and methods | have been introduced into the coal | mines in the past 20 years at a | cost exceeding $100,000,000, which | is credited by Bituminous Coal In- stitute with reducing accidents by | nearly one-half during this period. A widespread change from the use of black powder and dynamite in blasting the coal loose from its | seam to the use of permissible modified explosives producing re- | duced flames and reduced temper- {atures is said to have diminished one of the major hazards of min- ing by more than 50 per cent, Coal miners are the largest peacetime users of explosives and | some 180 different permissible | | brands of a safety standard ap- | proved by the Bureau of Mines are used now. | | | HOFFMAN'S AND, OH.YES - | MOST TELL 900 ABOUT MRYH SNODLRAYS , DEAR. — VUE ONLY A FEW (COPIES LEFT OF TH.% BOOK ON "FOREIGN To TUATS BIG, DOUGH!
