Everything for QUALliy —nothing for show

T

HAT’S OUR IDEA in making CAMELS—the Quality Cigarette. Why, just buy Camels and look at the package! It’s the best packing science has devised to keen cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste. Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack-

age and keep it air-tight.

And note this! There’s nothing flashy about the Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense that must come out of the quality of the tobacco. Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on

merit alone.

Because, men smok* Camels who want the taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth, refreshing mildness and their freedom from cigaretty aftertaste. Camels are made for men who think for them-

selves.

LANGUAGE OF PRESCRIPTIONS

Chculd They Be Written In Latin or English? Why shouldn't medical prescriptions be written in English instead of Latin? Would it not be better tor all concerned it good English were used instead o£ bad Latin or worse Greek? one writer asks, and he then goes on to say: Hen-track writing of foreign words and obscure cabalistic symbols most certainly do not render the physic any more efficacious, and the simpler lan guage would perhaps prevent uneducated or overworked pharmacists poisoning customers by misreading directions. The suggestion is not new. Indeed, it is as old as the semi-occasional hints from bench a^d bar that it Is time to have done with legal redundancy and verbiage and use plain language. le is just now under discussion by the American Medical society. But nothing is done. Doctors still differ. The writer of the foregoing fails to explain why medical prescriptions are usually written in Latin. This is done as many times explained by those who are employed to answ'er questions, so that the prescriptions can be filled or refilled in any country whera a regular and competent pharmacist can be found.

POISON IVY HAS THREE LEAVES

Virginia Creeper, With Five, Often Mistaken for Feared Plant They don't pick poison ivy and take it home to cover brick walls; al least they don't do it more than once. Many persons have Just cause to remember

it well.

No doubt just a picture of the ivy ; is enough to cause some folks to | shudder and remember the time the.r Ttce and body became scarlet and swollen from contact with the leaves. How it itched and burned! Yet to rub it was only to make matters worse. A curious fact is thi\t some persons are immune from this poison, while others must not even breathe the polK n ci the plant. Ic is often conioundto \ ith the YTr .... i creeper, al . nee bet >en ih m is dis- | tincL iiie Kaics of the latter are divided into live leaflets, while those of the former have but three, a fact

well worth remembering.

Strange enough, the witch hazel plant is sometimes found growing close to the poison ivy. As wittl* hazel extract is one of the best reiue uie^ for ivy poisoning it would seem nature was holding disease in one hand and a remedy in the other.

Ahead—How to Make Good ; | By JESSIE ROBERTS | niiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin DOES TEACHING PAY?

'TV IE talk that was started by Miss Helen Taft,' acting president of Bryn Muwt college, when she asserted that in her opinion the professors of the country should strike for higher salaries has led many people to ask themselves whether or not tfaching pays. It has Imig been called the "worst paid profession" and there is no doubt that the teacher must sacrifice any hopes of a great Income, trowever eminent he or she may become. Y’et there Is no profession of a more vital Importance than teaching, and the teacher should be treated as, and receive the remuneration of, a valuable member of society. Teaching should be made attractive, and every means that could Induce people of talent, force, energy and charm to take up teaching should be used as a matter of course, since the community Is bound to benefit. There are some who say that the vacations of teachers are longer than In the other professions, and this Is so. But the work itself Is extremely fatiguing; even with the long vacations, many teachers break down In what should be the prime of life. Then these vacations are often cur tailed by summer work and extension

work.

Teaching In America Is largely In the hand* of women. It Is woman's duty to site that teaching Is brought to its highest efficiency, and that It Is made attractive to the right people. Teaching hiust he better paid or the men and women who are most needed as teachers will go Into other work.

Italy Guards Art Treasures. Italy decrees the keeping of Its art treasures within Its own boundaries and sometimes with rather odd results. A farmer, finding his finances low, yielded to the solicitations of an art dealer and sold him the removable masonry of two ancient windows belonging to the fragment of an ancient abbey, now an outhouse, in his grounds. The government commissioner, hearing of the transaction, visited the farm and officially prohibited the removal of the windows. The farmer was in despair; he had received his 500 francs, and. like the Irishman, had squandered his fortune In paying his debts. The commissioner used comfortable words: “You have sold the windows and he has paid to you money which you have prudently spent. Be content." But the buyer was not equally contented. He sought out the commissioner, who blandly congratulated him on having become the owner of the windows, which, however, he could not remove.

Booms False Hair Market. Motor cars and false hair do not seem at first glance to have mucll connection with each other, yet it is stated that a very* appreciable increase in the false-halr industry has taken place since motoring increased in popularity. It is not that this pleasing pursuit causes the hair to drop of?, though R Is true the complexion and eyes and throat are all said to be affected by It. but as cutting through the air plays havoc with the neatness of the coiffure enthusiastic motorists are ceasing to trust to Nature, and the motor transformation” is becoming as much a part of an automobile outfit as goggles, a veil and a close-fitting hat.— Ladles’ Pictorial.

Old-Time Shoestring. In the old days we made strings of calf-skin. Every farmer was an expert. We should cut a disc of leather three or four Inches in diameter, stick the point of a sharp knifeblade In a board, place the thumb nail the thickness of a match from It. and quickly draw the string through the opening, the perimeter being reduced the thickness of a match at every measure of the circumference. Pretty work! Then the square string was rolled between the sole of the shoe and the floor till perfectly round, after which It was greased with tallow. Such a lace would last for months, but their shine soon wears off. giving them a much worn appearance. Substitute for Irrigation. An Italian scientist has invented a novel substitute for irrigation. He uses the fruit of the Barbary nopal, a fig tree which bears figs that are excellent reservoirs of moisture. In the spring the scientist digs s ditch about the foot of the tree he desires to protect from the coming drought and this ditch is filled with figs cut Into thick pieces. A dense layer is made and beaten down. The mucilaginous pulp, covered with earth, stores up much moisture, which it gives off gradually, watering the tree sometimes for as long s period as four months.

Lobsters for tha Pacific Coast. A few months ago the Canadian Fisheries Department planted a few lobsters at different points in the waters of British Columbia. Professor Prince, who is at the head of the Canadian Fisheries Commission, is now on the coast making an examination of the beds where lobsters were planted to see what Increase they had made, and he will Investigate a number of different places with a view to large planting of lobsters If It Is found that those already planted* have done well. It is said that Professor Prince will look into the temperature of the water, the character of the bottom and other particulars, before any decision Is reached regarding planting more lobsters.

Quick-fire Camera. Carl E. Akeley of the American Mus; uni of Natural History has evolved a motion picture camera so novel in its constructional and operating features that it gives promise of revolutionizing at least one of the diversified fields of motion picture photography—that of the naturalist and big game hunter. It is the first motion picture camera equipment with the necessary mechanism to enable it to inter the hitherto unexplored realm of the hand or still camera and thus place within the scope of the operator all the vast possibilities of quick action and instantaneous photogtaphy, says the Popular Science Monthly. As a hunter of a big game in the wilds of Africa, Mr. Akeley has used the ordinary motion picture camera, to find it deficient and even useless. He has attempted time and time again, and at risk of great personal danger, to photograph a herd ot charging elephants, or an alligator stealing on its prey, or a trapped liou in its death throes, only to be disappointed in the finished film. He once bad the rare opportunity to photograph a real battle between giant ants of the tropics, but before be could adjust the intricate mechanism of the camera and set it up it was too late. It stimulated him to concentrate his technical knowledge on pi,ms for a new camera. There are parts of the Akeley camera which have yet to be nameu —Khey are so new. Indeed, the instrument is such a radical departure fiom the newest of the old style machines that it has few features in common with them. In form his camera is cylindrical. It rotates in a steel ring on ball bearings and is supported by a curved arm, which rises from a sub base on which the panoramic base rests when in operation. The complete apparatus, camera, and panoramic devices form a single compact unit to be used with or without a triprod. The camera can be mounted in the twinkling of an eye for rapid picture taking. It can be trained in a_ny direction .is accuiately and as quickly as a cowboy can draw a gun. If a triprod is not at hand a window-sill, a rock, a saddle horn, a tree branch, a knee—in fact, anything stationary j may serve as a base for operations. Where quick action is absolutely imperative, tho newspaper photo grapher can film every stage of an exciting fire rescue, or a riot, or a sinking ship, or indeed, anything heretofore solely within the compass of the hand or still camera.

“TRAGEDY." T-v ISCOVERY of the fact that JL/ the word ‘‘tragedy" Is a compound of two Greek words meaning “goat” and "song," and that a literal translation of the original term would be "a song of the goat," throws but little light upon the modern use of tire word, until one examines the custom in vogue in ancient Greece, particularly In connection with the production of tragedies. Here, though, we find that the goat played a central role in these entertainments. Not only was one of the animals offered ns a prize for the best performance by the actors but, because the goat Is very partial to ea'ing grape-vines, and therefore an enemy of Bacchus—the pagan god of wine In whose honor the festivals were held—one of them was sacrificed at each production of a tragedy. Further to carry out the simile, the actors were dressed for the most part In goat skins, because many of them posed as martyrs, a custom from which we i>btaln our word "satirical." The singing of a solemn, melancholic song was the signal for the sacrifice of the goat, and it Is because of this connection that we apply the word “tragedy" #» something which is extremely sad, whether on the stage or In everyday life.

Feeding Fr*fiag* to Dairy Cow*. A practical and successful dairy man 'gives his plan of feeding hi* cows through the Jersey Bulletin, and among other things he says: We make ensilage our main food. It Is unnecessary to enlarge upon the value of ensilage, for every dairyman In the corn belt certainly knows the value of this great feed. We feed from 30 to 50 pounds of ensilage per day In proportion to the cow. It is our Intention for our cows to have all they want, and In the best condition. In the winter the ensilage Is not removed from the silo until feeding time and Is fed steaming hot. The ensilage ration la balanced with bran and clover hay The bran Is fed In proportion to the period of lactation of the cow, and as much as she will consume at a profit. Wo feed our ensilage and bran the first thing In the morning; then do our milking and separating; then feed as much clover hay as the cows will clean up before noon. The same method Is followed In the evening, feeding hay the last thing at night. We do not depend on grass alone more than 60 to 76 days In the year, from about May 10 to July 15 or 20. Then If we have any ensilage left over from winter w# feed about 20 to 25 pounds per day. If we have no ensilage we plan! a small plot of sweet corn early In the spring and begin feeding a* soon as It will do, cutting from the field and hauling to the pasture each day. This Is a more expensive way of feeding than the ensilage, but It Is far better than to let the cow* go hungry: for a hungry cow won’t give milk. Our cows must have all they want to eat 305 days each year.

Water Lille* From Seed. Many of the choicest of water lilies, even tho magnificent Victoria regia, may be grown from seed. For many years the seed of this lily whim brought to this country failed to germinate, says Homes and Gardens. It was Anally found that by bottling the seeds In the water of the river In which they grew they could be transported safely from the waters of the Anmson to the Far West. Here the Illy la usually grown with bottom heat, aa It la very tender. Seeds started In pota In a temperature of ninety degree* will germinate In abont two weeks and may be planted out In the open air when the nights have become warm—usually about the first of June, and will bloom the same summer, but cannot I be carried through the winter but j must be started afresh each season ! —either by the purchase of plants or the sowing of seed, the Utter being. of course, much more economical as seeds may be purchased for a few nickels apiece, the plants coating as many dollars.
