When the fish is dead, its natural resistance to the growth of the bacteria ceases. This swingsters, do more than merely causes a very rapid increase in the swim over the dam for the mama j number of bacteria which are on the surface of the fish; these will fiddie. Boop-boop, dittum, dottum and v,?ottum, too, are helpers in scien tific research, it was shown at the Jahns Hopkirrs Hospital recently. In fact, they’re so good at their particular jobs that Dr. Charles F. Geschickter, in the surgical-patho logical laboratory, declared that fish are ideal for laboratory work, far better than monkeys, rats, guinea pigs and other animals serv ing as soldiers in the war on dis ease. Too many people think that a shade tree is just something that Nature provided for our pleasure, . and that its needs are supposedly met by Mother Nature, says John H. Harris, landscape specialist of the State College Extension Ser vice. “This might be true if we let Nature work its own way,” Harris stated. “If we allow the trees to “They ^an be used over and over eventually penetrate to the flesh in* side and cause rapid deterioration. During the life of the fish, the enzymes re-build the tissue of the muscles as it is destroyed by the movements of the fish through the water. These are also found in the viscera of the fish and during life digest the food which the fish lives upon. After death all of these en zymes tear down or cause auto digestion of the tissue composing the flesh of the fish. When .a fish is frozen, the bac- be fed an annual crop of decaying leaves and other organic matter, then we would have little or noth ing to worry about.

' Manure may be applied at any time, but the commercial fertilizer should be used from February 15 to July 15 to do the most good. About one-half to one pound of commercial fertilizer to each one- inch diameter of the tree is recom mended. Some of the symptoms of an un der-nourished tree are thin foliage, I leaves undersize and yellow, lack of I growth, dead branches, branches ! dying back at tips, and undersize buds.

A farmer came and watched him. “Ah,” s'aid the artist, “perhaps you, too, are a lover of the beauties of nature. Have you seen the golden fingers of dawn spreading across the eastern sky, the red- stained, sulphurous islets floating in the lake of fire in the west, the rag'ged clouds at midnight, blotting out the shimmering moon?” “No,” said the farmer matter-of- factly, “not lately. But I’ve been off the booze for a year.” ” GUARANTEE iADE ON COUGH RELIEi "g OHar by Manufacturer Provss Startling Results Secured. Mentho-Mulsion, the proven rem- dy for bad coughs due to colds, is old under the most iron-clad ■!oney-back guarantee ever made. 'Take one spoonful of Mentho- lulsion ...

The former hails from Switzerland and the latter from Japanese waters—though both have now become naturalized Americans by virtue of special propagation in frosted. New York laboratories. The elritzes are used to aid in the purification and identification of a powerful extract from the beef pituitary gland. This substance is used in the treatment and control of diabetes incipidis, a rare but ex tremely harmful form of diabetes. In order to test the extract before it is used, some of it is injected into one of the male elritzes in greatly diluted state. A very, very delicate reaction is sought—and the extract is okay if the fish turns red. The elritze is a fast worker. He’ll tell a technician in twenty minutes whether the extract is okay. Within twelve hours after he turns red because of the injection he goes back to his natural state. rested and a great portion of the bacteria are killed. The destruc tive action of the enzymes is re tarded by low temperatures but not entirely stopped. This action' proceeds at a slow rate and is re sponsible for a portion of the so- called “drip” when the fish are de- FORGOTTEN GRAVES We lay our loved ones down, with flowers to wither In the rain’s beat, or fade in the long sun; They are so helpless as we bring them hither.

Fishes, both big and little, use the locks in passage from ocean to ocean—and never pay any tolls. Dr. Samuel F. Hildebrand, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, has made a detailed study of the fish found in the canal when the locks are dewatered, and reports 159 species ranging in' size from anchovies to tarpon, as well as crabs, shrimp and several other kinds of invertebrates. • Not all the 169 species are known to pass through the canal. It isn’t all plain sailing for the fish.
