| July 17, 1920—Page 6 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND. MERELY OF VALUE AS GUIDE The Past, as Revealed by History, Worth While Only as It Points the Future. The division of all history into ancient, medieval and modern, like the division of all Gaul, is a part of the stock of knowledge of every one who has enjoyed the advantages of education. The statement would seem to admit of no question. Perhaps it is as reasonable a division of history as can be had without the expenditure of too much time and thought. At least it has the advantage of simplicity. Is it, however, the whole truth? It is true if you only mean by it that certain periods of history began and ended at a certain date, but it Is not true if you mean that the state of mind that belonged to ancient history ceased to exist at the fall of the Boman empire or that the character of medievalism stopped with the discovery of America. The world is modern in time and In outward appearances, but antiquity and the Middle ages are not yet done With us, nor will they be for long. They have left their indelible marks Jupon our thought, our social customs, and political institutions. What Is really modern in the world Is like the tongue of a glacier penetrating down the mountain slope. The mass from which it came is far behind, moving so slowly that it does not seem to move. Only this small peninsula projects out into the unknown. In us, all that has been is represented. It holds us back and yet it points us forward, for history is valueless unless it is a guide for the future.—Milwaukee Journal. THE "EYE" WORM OF AFRICA Dangerous Pest That Is Apt to Be Inflicted on the Visitor to the Congo. Every one who lives in central Africa any length of time sooner or later becomes affected with the filaria loa, a worm which is about two inches in length and the size of a hair. Its larva Is supposed to be taken into the body In drinking water, and, when incubated, it wanders through the body for a long period. At one time it may make Its presence known in the forearm or the back of the hand by a painless swelling. At another time the same indications appear in a leg or about the lips or forehead. Missionaries tell toe that I have several, of them in my body, although, save for the indications described, they have caused me little or no inconvenience. The worm is supposed to end its career in the eye of the victim, and in Africa is commonly called "eye worm" because of this tendency. It then produces inflammation, and, unless skillfully extracted, it sometimes ruptures the delicate membranes, frequently causing great suffering and even blindness. The natives take it out with a bamboo splinter. But if the worm breaks In the eye, the virus is liable to poison the organ completely, frequently with the result of loss of sight. European surgeons, however, find little trouble in removing it successfully.—It. L. Garner in the Century Magazine. LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE Mote's Marvelous Appetite. Incredible stories are told of the mole's appetite, and in order to see If there was anything in them (writes an English correspondent) I tried an experiment. My mole—a matronly lady—weighed three and half ounces. Each item of food that she was given was carefully weighed, and here is her record between 9 a. m. and noon: One frog, three slugs, twenty-four earthworms, a piece of raw mutton, and a bit of cheese, a total of just over four ounces. Some delay followed, as my stock of weighed food was exhausted. Probably by the time I had replenished it she thought it was time for a fresh meal, for she went at It again with no visible damage to her appetite, and before three o'clock she had got through another three ounces, mostly earthworms this time. That was twice her own weight In food In six hours. After this display I gave up the attempt to measure her maximum capacity. Bohemians Fond of Geese. A traveler in Bohemia quickly learns that there are certain things which are essentially Bohemian, writes Kenneth Roberts in the Saturday Evening Post. True Bohemians eat enormous quantities of caraway seeds and goose. When a Bohemian cook prepares anything she instinctively reaches for the caraway seed box and heaves a handful of seeds into the dish. She uses caraway seeds with hors d'oeuvres, soup, fish, meat, vegetables, desserts and cakes. As for goose, it is the common food in Bohemia, because everyone raises geese, and, according to Mr. Roberts, goose in some form or another is eaten at every meal every day in the year. Something Worth Seeing. For tourists who drive through the Catskill mountains of New York state, Ashokan reservoir is well worth a visit. The shore line of the reservoir is 40 miles and the depth varies from 50 to 200 feet. The width of the reservoir runs about three miles average. The capacity is 130,000,000,000 gallons, from which, says the Automobile Blue Book, Manhattan may draw dally 500,000,000,000 gallons, carried by aqueduct 175 miles and siphoned under the Hudson river near Oold Springs to the city proper.

THEY CAN'T HELP IT IT'S BUILT IN THE MASH You can do it easy and sure if you get away from the old-fashioned idea of feeding nothing but Scratch Feed alone. While Scratch Feed is absolutely essential, it will not make eggs when fed alone. You must furnish your birds a variety of protein and there is no greater mash feed on the market that will fill this requirement as well as RED COMB MASH FEED WITH DRIED BUTTERMILK, and in considering a mash feed it is well to study the ingredients from which it is composed. It is the quality that counts, not the quantity. Rich, heavy feed that force eggs are most liable to injure the birds' health and breeding qualities. RED COMB MASH FEED is made from Dried Buttermilk, Linseed Oil Meal, Corn Feed Meal, Meat Scraps, Wheat Middlings, Wheat Bran, Ground Oats, Alfalfa Meal, and not over 5 per cent, shell. These ingredients are all highly digestible, and you can always rely on Red Comb to produce natural, steady layers. WHY RED COME IS GREATEST EGG PRODUCER IT CONTAINS GREATEST VARIETY OF HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE PROTEINS This is a very important point in regard to the protein contents. It is not only the quantity of protein, but the variety of highly digestible protein that encourages heavy egg production. Red Comb Mash Feed is far in advance of the average mash feed on the market because the birds get more from the feeds than from other rations. You get: Animal Protein from the Meat Scraps, i Leaf Protein from the Alfalfa Meal, Cereal Protein from the other ingredients, Milk Protein from the DRIED BUTTERMILK. For Sale by RICHARD C.
