GARFIELD HIGH SCHOOL * Basketball Team Expected To Create Another Surprise This Year By GUY A. BOWSHER Written for the United Press Terre Haute, Ind.. Jan. Ik—Will the Garfield high school basketball five create as much surprise In the 1923 state championship as it did last year? The Terre Haute basketball team which went unknown to the state fin als and came near upsetting the strong Franklin team proved to be one ot the hardest working, fighting teams in the tournament. The team this year is without practically every man that played in the tournament. Although Garfield has lost these mainstays Coach ‘'Red” Hanna, has probably built a team this year that will go just as tar as the team of 1922. Even at this early date ot the basketball season the purple and white quintet has played like a team in midseason form. It has won in fine fashion all the games it has played. The loss of "Babe” Wheeler, allstate center, was keenly felt by the Garfield team, but with Armour, cap-tain-elect of 1923, Coach Hanna has probably developed a player who will even be better than Wheeler. Torr, the strong guard, is also lost by graduation; Gault, however, has proven to be a hard working individual and can shift from running guard to back position with ease. The remainder of the Garfield team is composed of "Art” Relnking. whirlwind forward, who succeeded in scoring from the side time and again last year, when rushed in as a substitute; "Bill” Everson, who has been able to play a consistent game at either running or back guard, and “Tubby” Kirchner, who is tall of stature, which gives him great advantages in the center position. Vincennes, one of the strongest contenders in the state is scheduled on the Garfield chart, and this game should be one grand preamble to those following. While the Garfield team has not a long string of games won, they have the reputation ot one of the hardest working fighting teams in the state. It is also just as strong as it was last year when critics said it would have won the tournament if it had had the practice. BREAK UP COLDS Get a box of BUIXSARIAN HERB TEA.

INDIANA FARM ; HOMEISTHEME|: Institution Around Which 1 Farming Centers, Discussed At Purdue _ i Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 9.—The Indiana farm home, the Institution around which all the agricultural progress of the state really centers, was the centra! theme before the annual farmers short course at Purdue University today, Classes in all other lines of work were suspended during the afternoon while the farm men and worn en devoted their time to a discussion of the farm home and how it might be improved. E. I. Miller, of near Lafayette, president of the Tippecanoe County Farm ers' federation, and Mrs. Lawrence JFoster, wife of a prominent Montgom ' ery county stockman and farmer, were the principal speakers. Their talks with the discussion is expected to lead to a well-formed program calling for improvement of the state’s farm ■ homes. "There are no fixed rules for secur- • ing a home, but there are three fundamentals—industry, honesty and econo-. my,” said Mr. Miller In the course of j his remarks. “I would have you to build a home filled with patience, kindness, meekness, commendation and forgiveness. Such a home will i radiate to the community and state, , service, friendship and good citizenship. The real home Is its occupants or builders and in this sense, our homes are what we make them. It can be a home of hatred or a home of love.” Mrs. Foster made a strong appeal for a deeper appreciation on the part , of farmers generally for the farm home and what it really signifies rather than "merely a place to eat and sleep.” "More money is a need of the farm home today, and has been for years past. I mean that not a large enough , share of the farm income has gone into the farm home, and there has been too little consideration of what it would mean to the farm ftTmily to make it a more convenient and attractive place to really enjoy living,” said Mrs. Foster. I Mrs. Foster suggested that a farmer 1 butcher oue less hog. or eat a fewer ' number of eggs ami chickens and sei! . the products instead and put the money into home improvements. The morning program for the men included instruction in corn judging by Prof. M. L. Fisher; judging of stock to be slaughtered, by Prof. F.-G. King; judging of dairy cattle, by Prof. L. H. Fairchild; what farm products to produce and where, by L. S. Robertson; how to head off the chinch bug, by Prof. J. J. Davis; how to bring back the farm orchard, by C. L. Burkholder, and prevention of soil erosion, by C. A. Norman. These talks were followed by organized inspection trips to the university farms and agricultural buildings for both men and women. The women short course visitors I were guests of'the home economics | department at tea at-th e close of the I afternoon program. J. Clyde Marquis, I of the department of agriculture, one I of the best known agricultural pubI lieists and economics iu the country, I will speak tonight on “The New BusiI ness of Farming.” | The short course gives promises of I drawing an unusually large crowd I during the wee, despite the snowfall I over the state. o OWE MUCH TO THE BRUTE Physicians Say Humans Owe Much Besides Glands To Brute Animals

M Uy Joseph Wasney l lilted Prena Mall' Correspondent ■ Philadelphia, Pa.. Jan. 9.—Dr. VoroHluoff. famous surgeon who made the K transplanting of monkey glands in- ■ ternational conversation, did not tell ■ one hundreth of it. according to phy- ■ sicians in the medical department of ■ 'the University of Pennsylvania. I ( Experiments in rejuvinating youth ■ ;by the use of glands has been under II way by the medical world since the ■j stone age. More than 30 years ago a 11 French doctor compounded an extract ■ of glands that was supposed to be the I elixir of youth. ■ : This liquor, however, had only a I temporary effect on the patient and

l.the effects of the stimulent soon wore 11 off. The actual transplanting of a I live gland to a human is merely the I*latest step in the experiments. I '‘ls is a regular rule in the laborsI tory study here that we are unable I,to transplant from one species of anil imal an another," one physician said. (“This means that if the gland operajet ion is to be successful, the gland .must be sacrificed by a human and ■not by a lower animal. “Rcjuviuation of youth as the operations are now conducted cannot last more than three or four years, for the transplanted gland will soon die." '

Speaking on the subject of glands, the physician told the Uuite<l Press that for the last few years the various glands ot slaughter bouse animals have been dried and used In the search for the "Fountain of Youth." Other parts of animals arc used in the medical world. The latest usee of animal by-products are: Extract from salves' brains are used for children who are definitely developed, to stimulate mental activity. The brain are not transplanted, they are dried and an extrac or powder made from them. Young calves’ brains arc also used to prevent hentmorhagea. Bile is taken from the gall bladders of hogs and cattle and used for intestinal indigestion and to promote the absorption of fat. For neurasthenia, mentfi) disorders, premature senility, tuberculosis and similar diseases, the brain and the substance of the spinal cord of cattle are used. The red blood cells of cattle are extracted ami used in “wasting” dis eases, while the kidneys of all starghter house animals are dried to use in uremic conditions. Various forms of the "adrenal capsules" ot cattle are used for malnutrition, low blood pressure, melancholia, esthrna and other ailments. The gland ! ular layer of the upper eighteen inches of the small intentine of pigs is used ' for functional indigestion certain j forms of diabetes.

"Os course, the ideal material would be of human origin, but it is impracticable as the source of supply is too precarious. “We use wild animals the same as we do domestic stock. The monkeys do supply extracts for medical use and so do kangaroos and beasts of the jungles.” GENEVA NEWS Geneva, Ind., Jan. 9. —Kenneth Whiteman and family are visiting at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Whiteman,, at present.
