other grazing crops; proper treat

pastures; and the rotation of pasture
grazing for prevention of overgrazing
and 'sod deteriorization.

Sericea lespedeza were in excellent
condition. This pasture had been used
for cow grazing. '
J. G. Perry had a good Bermuda

grass makes about the best pasture

Life’s Sweetest Story
The old couple had just celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary.
Now all the guests were gone, and
they sat by the open fireplace, hand
in hand, with her head on his should
, er, and reminisced.
“Mary,” he said tenderly. “You’re
still my sweetheart. In fact, I’ve
never had another sweetheart because
, I never found anyone as sweet and
, beautiful as you.”
■ “Henry,” she replied, “you’re as big;
i a liar as ever, and I believe you just
the same.”
Many men do not allow their prin
ciples to take root, but pull them up
every now and then as children do the
flowers they have planted, to see if
i they are growing. —Longfellow

.SECTION ONE-
PROBLEMS OF PREGNANCY/ 'J
by Scisnc* Features f Jkl
. yjr
r The hazards of maternity are'
-fast diminishing in the United
States. The death rate from dis
eases of pregnancy and childbirth
< has been reduced by more than 80 ;
per cent since 1930. - 1
> But some medical complications ;
still remain unsolved. Probably the '
most puzzling of these are the so- i
called toxemias (Greek, poison- ;
i blood) of pregnancy, which account
for some 25 per cent of all mater-j ,
nal deaths. No one knows exactly
what causes these toxemias, and
no one has been able to isolate the ,
toxin, or poison, which causes them.
I Among the symptoms of toxemia ;
of pregnancy are swelling of the
limbs, high blood pressure, and
headache. Usually the condition
strikes during the last three
months of pregnancy.
* Recently a team of Boston doc
tors reported that the antibiotics
penicillin and terramycin both act ;
to offset these symptoms. They
said the drugs were beneficial be
cause they appeared to neutralize
!or eliminate circulating toxins. , .* ;
‘ The doctors hope that they may
be able to reduce the mortality rate
(around 40 per cent) for infants
delivered from women suffering
from toxemia. They found in one
i case that when the antibiotics were
1 administered at the first sign of
the condition the baby was saved
despite the fact that tfie mother
was suffering from diabetes and
high blood pressure. ,
