And perhaps it is also true that sere and yel- low with age grandma and grandpa have tacked away somewhere—most likely in the Bible—a special prescription for something or other which they propose to hand down to sn or daughters, which they received from their parents. And the chances are that there are two marks, fre- quently printed marks, on these prescriptions, now as of old, which very few understand. These are the letter “R” in the upper left hand corner, and the letter “M” inithe lower right hand corner. ‘There’s a line drawn at an angle following the “R.” Both these Jetters are Latin. The “R” is Latin pomp —— * * * The hoy Galileo had little chance % win x compelled him to go to a medical school. ,.

War} naturally led to the thought, the war over, that some of these agents could be tconomically and successfully employed to combat agricultural pests. Some French experiments with one sub- stance, chloropicrin, have been successful. Chlor- opicrin is both lachrymatory and suffocating} lars or Jar menoptera, and aphids, Chloropicrin is produeed by the chloride of lime upon picric acid, or upon the residue left after making that acid. It is an in- ' quantities. Its properties, as stated by | the: Vrench investigators, are favorable for use as a} fumigant or spray. ‘It is not inflammable. ,, It is only partially soluble in water. very easily. i It is not considered.a danger ‘ous substance to/ for “recipe,” the imperative mood of “recipere,” meaning “take.” The “M” used, 'to represent “misce,” the. imperative mood for “miscere,” which simply means “mix together.” At is all very simple} “Mix your medicine thor- oughly—and then take it”—of cdiwrse. IMPROVING ON NATURE ‘ ‘The eye appeal counts most with food products anid tho‘ other method compar able to it in selling has been found: The‘English walnut growers) of California, getting their product ready. for’ market, might be accused of trying to improve} on nature. |. | A walnut in lthe retail store has a different look from ‘a walntt just harvested inthe grove. This i is bécause the practice of bleaching walnuts ‘general. Locality, has.some. influence—nuta grown ‘in fog-free diathiets are noticeably lighter colored —but the alluring uniform hue of the marketed nut is a product of dipping tanks. This is done at the association packing houses. With machin-|, ery, the nuts are dipped.very briefly—five to ten lj seconds—in a sdlution of fime; sal soda and sul- phuric'acid. The nuts are then thoroughly dried at once. ‘ The cost of the operation, in the large packing It markedly in- creases the eye appeal of the walnuts, and indi- rectly, over a period of years, probably adds cents to. the selling price. As one would expect, there are various home methods, practiced by ‘individual growers, for making the nuts most presentable, Washing, brushing, are both performed, Rolling in a per- ~ forated barrel is a way to remove dirt. » fruit, before drying. Sulphur fumes are sometimes used as a bleach- ing agent, much as Californians do in sulphuring It is not, however, a very satisfac ttory method, as great care must be exer- So or the flavor of the walnut kernel will be hurt. } Yes, nature can sometimes be improved on. The walnut growers have demonstrated the fact. All are not angles who harp. \ BOYS WHO HAD “NO CHANCE”. “In the blackest soil,” says Holland, “grow the fairest flowers, and the loftiest and strongest trees spring heavenward* among the rocks.” .
