The Sense of Taste.
In many cases the sense of smell Is
wanting from birth, but the sense of
taste has never been found to be ab
sent So says Dr. R. Foerster. a Ger
man authority, in an article republish-
ed in the Scientific American. Even a
newborn child which, in consequence
of insufficient development, bad no
brain still bad a sense of taste. Its
facial expression altered when sub
stances of different taste were given to
it The fact that the sense of taste
Is never absent at birth shows of what
importance this sense is for the ex
istence of man. With age the sense
of taste becomes less extended through
deadening of the nerve endings and
near the close of life ceases altogther.

GREEN CHIP
The Faris salons this season have
launched hats of so many different
shapes that one may choose almost at
random with little fear of going
wrong in one's selection; but of all
the shapes there is none newer nor
more safely conservative and at the
same time pretty and becoming than
the elaborated walking shapes of
which the above is an example. The
crown of this hat is covered with a
soft silk, fitted closely; the rolling
brjm is of green chip. Directly in
the front there mounts, high above
the crown, an "aigrette" of deep
cream roses and their foliage.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Aug., 27, (Special.)
That it is no simple task to get rid
of gophers and moles and other ro
dents is the opinion of A. L. Lovett,
pest expert at the Oregon Agricultur
al College. He believes it is neces
sary to use a combination of treat
ments rather than any one system.
"In most cases one will have very
good success during the early part of
the fight with the poisoned bait Fu
migration with carbon-si-sulfied gives
very good successj in newly formed
burrows of the pocket gopher. This
method is used extensively through
the Middle West on a commercial
scale and over large fields. Where
the application fails it is usually due
to the very extended underground
burrows which occur in fields long in
fested. The carbon-si-sulfied is used
at the rate of three to six ounces to
each pocket. Saturating dry horse
manure and working this down into
the burrow is a-verg good method of
application. The material may be
poured slowly into the hole direct. Af
ter treating the hole, cover it thor
oughly to hold in the fumes. Always
bear in mind that carbon-si-sulfid is
as inflammable as gasoline. Do not
open it near a hot stove, nor smoke
while making the application.
"When the numbers of pests -are
considerably lessened they seem to
become wary of such methods, and
then possibly the trap will be about
the only way that you can catch them.
After the traps cease to be effective,
a small boy with a rifle will usually
keep them down pretty well. This
pest usually appears above ground at
certain hours of the day and can be
shot very readily.
"There are two methods of prepar
ing the poisoned bait. One consists
of simply using pieces of carrot or po
tato or even raisins. Make an incis
ion in each piece and slip In a crys
tal of strychnia sulphate. The btfr
row should not be left uncovered in
the case of the pocket gopher; sim
ply scrape away the surface sofl to
expose the, tunnel; the bait may then
be dropped into the hole and the soil
replaced.
"In the case of moles, a sharp point
ed stick may be pushed down into the
uplifted earth around the tunnel and
the bait dropped in. Then simply
stamp on the burrow to cut out the
light from below.
"The other method for prepairing
the bait with poison is as follows:
Dissolve an ounce of strychnia sul
phate in a pint of boiling water; add
a pint of thick syrup and stir thor
oughly. Scent this with a few drops
of oil of anise. This mixture is suf
ficient -to poison a half-bushel of
wheat or corn. Simply poor it over
the grain and stir vigorously.-' This
grain, of course, shauld not be scat
tered in exposed places where birdB
and poultry would get at it.
"In the case of traps, I do not know
that any particular make is to be rec
ommended. All of them have certain
things which make them, in the eye of
their manufacturers, a little superior
to other eyes."

NICE CLOTHES ONLY HELP

face of the body must be pure must
not only be free from all uncleanli

Call at these stores for a demonstration
Livestock receipts were light in
Portland the totals unloaded at the
yards during the past 24 hours being
100 cattle, 85 hogs and 2 horses, and
as aj consequence not much in the
way of business was reported up to
noon. So pax as could be learned there
vjas no weakening of values in any
department of the market
Among the early transactions Tues
day was the sale of a load of medium
grade steers averaging 1051 pounds
in weight at $6.55. In general the
impression prevailed that beef ma
terial of best quality was still mov
able at the full prices quoted, and in
the supply situation in the Northwest
dealers" say there is nothing to indi
cate any material decline in values in
the near future.
No trade in the sheep division was
reported during the forenoon, but the
prices realized in yesterday's sales
gave evidence of strength in the mar
ket on both sheep and lambs.
The strength of the hig market was
shown clearly enough in the sale of
a bunch of 78 top grade porkers aver
aging 219 pounds in weight at J9.25,
last week's high quotation. For the
hog market during the remainder of
the year the prospect is said to be
favorable in the extreme.

Indian's Idea of Weight
An Indian went hunting one day for
deer. After tramping through the
woods for some hours he came across a
herd and managed to kill one. He
shouldered it and started for market,
which was some five, miles away.
Now, of course, the longer he walked
the heavier the deer got and by the
time he reached the market he was
about all in. He hung the deer on the
scales and stood looking at it with
wonder. Finally he said to the man:
"Ugh! Let him hang awhile." Na

Decline of tne Bath.
One strange feature In the advance
of civilization has been the decline of
the bath. Washing In the golden age
of Greece and Rome was a fine art
and baths were built with as much
care as temples. There has been a re
vival in this century of public baths,
but from an aesthetic point of view
they cannot compare with those of a
barbarous age.
