Avers Alcohol As Bad
As Opium Or Morphine
Columbia, S. C.—Dr. Mary Har
ris Armour, national director of the
W. C. T. U., told the Legislature
that the day was near 'when the
liquor traffic will be no more” be
cause the public was earning the
evil effects of alcohol.
Terming alcohol “just as much
a narcotic poison as opium or mor
phine,” she said “if you drink
enough of it it will give you a
green brain, a red nose, a white
liver, a black heart and yellow
stripes down your back.”
She told the lawmakers the
“great work” of the W. C. T. U.
had been “teaching the truth about
alcohol.”
"We all want a sober nation.
We all want our boys and girls sav
ed from the curse of drink. We

may differ on methods, but I am
not here to discuss methods.”
Dr. Armour said a generation
ago. "We thought alcoho was
good for everything” but scientific
enlightenment had disproved that
belief. She described a number of
ill-effects she said alcohol caused.
She termed it a "brain poison,”
a "protoplash poison” and a "racial
poison,” and asserted that liquor
"strikes at the health, it strikes at
the salvation of the people.”
She concluded that "I am cer
tain that one day the liquor traffic
will be no more as I am that God
is in heaven.”
She was escorted to the rostrum
by a committee of legislators and
was introduced by Governor Olin
Johnson, who said "Since we have
legalized the sale of liquor in South
Carolina, we certainly need people
to tell us how better to do justice
to our younger generation.”

Madame Poulard made culminary
history when she flipped her first
omelet. For her fame as an omelet
maker spread far and wide.
An omelet can be tough and dry
like Irish moss. Or it can display
all the virtues of a new-laid egg,
tender within, yet firm and deter
mined without, yielding the prom
ise of good substantial fare. Here’s
my method. Yours may vary a jot
or so but one point we’ll agree.
The eggs must be fresh. Two to a
person and then one more. Drop
a lump of butter into an iron skil
let that has been polished clean as a
teacup. Whisk up the eggs, with
salt and pepper, and let them cool
slowly and tenderly in the skillet
over a middling flame. When tht
eggs have acquired a firm glaze
on top, run the tip of a spatulaa
around the curved edge. Flip one
half the omelet over the other and
gently lift to a hot platter. That’s
all there is to a Madame Poulard
omelet.
If you must gild the lily, here arc
a few omelet variations: Before
folding the omelet, sprinkle with
minced chives, grated cheese or
tomato stewed with ground clove
and onion. Children like it with

Finest Filter
Aids Cancer
Fighters
The world’s finest filter, which
will sift from a liquid particles so
small that their diameter is one six
millionth of an inch, has been de
veloped at the John’ Hopkins
School of Hygiene and Public
Health , it has been revealed.
The inventor of this filter which
consists of pieces of paper treated
with different strengths of collo
dion is Dr. Raymond Roscoe Hyde,
head of the filterable virus depart
ment of the school, who worked it
out with the aid of Dr. Howard C.
Allisbaugh.
The filter is doing its bit in the
search for the cause and cure of
cancer, as viruses from rat and
chicken tumors are filtered through
it in order to get data on the size
and shape of the sub-microscopic
germ, invisible to the human eye
even under the most powerful
microscope.
ur. nyae, in aescriDing ms ap
paratus in the American Journal of
Hygiene, pointed out microscopes
can only make visible particles
down to a size that equals the
length of one wave-length of a ray
of lightt, which is about 200 milli
microns. All particles in the world
below that length are invisible to
| the eye, even with the use of the
microscope.
A millimicron is one-thousandth
of a micron, and micron is one
thousandth of a millimeter. There
are 28 millmeters in an inch. The
cancer virus taken from rats and
chickens is composed of particles
that are 10 to 12 millimicrons in
diameter, or about one-twentieth
the size of a single wave-length
of a ray of light.
After seven years experiment
ing with these membranes, Dr.
j Hyde announced that he had work
' ed out a set of them ranging in
size from 500 millim crons down to
five millimcrons. It all depends
on the strength of the collodion
mixture which is used to impreg
nate the filter paper. Using 1 per
cent, solution, the most porus, or
the JOO millimicron membrance, is
obtained. The highest percentage
obtained is from a 10 per cent,
solution, which produced five mil
limicrons, or a filter that will sep
arate particles one six-millionth of
an inch in size.
Says Lespedeza Is
Valuable Farm Crop
It will soon be time to sow les
pedeza, E. C. Blai. extension agron
omist at State College, reminds
North Carolina farmers.
Lespedeza is one of the most
valuable crops that can be grown
on the farm, he stated, and it can
1 be grown under a wide variety of
climatic and soil conditions.
Lespedeza makes a good hay that
is relished by stock and is high in
proteins and carbohydrates. It also
makes good grazing in the hot sum
mer and fall months when other
pasturage is dominant.
Blair also pointed out its value
as a soil builder when plowed un
der at maturity. Even when the
crop is cut for hay, he added, the
roots and the lower part of the
plant that is left in the field will
improve the soil to some extent.
Eight tests with lespedeza show
ed that on an average, where corn
|was producing 21.3 bushels to the
acre without lepc-Jeza, the same
land would produce 44.1 bushels to
the acre after a growth of lespedeza
had been turned under.
Similar effects have been noted
on small grains, cotton, soybeans,
and even weeds.
Lespedeza grows best on medium
to heavy lands, but on most up
lands satisfactory yields can be ob
tained.
common, lennessee /6, and
Kobe varieties of lespedeza grow
well in most parts fo the State, but
are hardly worth planting on coarse
sandy soil. The Korean variety
does not grow well on poor or acid
soils.
Lespedeza should be sown in
February or March in most sec
tions, as germination should be
late enough to avoid freezes and
early enough for the plants to be
come well established before hot.
dry weather comes.

For Bad Feeling
Due to Constipation
Get rid of constipation by taking

that bowel activity has slowed up or
you begin to feel sluggish. Thou

refreshing relief it has brought them.
Mrs. Ray Mullins, of Lafe, Ark.,
writes: "My husband and I both take
Thedford’s Black-Draught and find
It splendid for constipation, bilious
ness, and the disagreeable, aching,
tired feeling that comes fi-om this
condition.” With reference to Syrup
of Black-Draught, which this mother
gives her children, she says: “They
like the taste and it gave such good
results.”
