To Ketp Off Fliea. The following item appeared in the Farm Journal in July 1880., They reprinted it in the July 1923 issue. This is what was claimed and it's just as good now as then? Put a coup!*' i?f handfuls of the common bfack walnut leaves into a vessel of water all night, and next morning boil for fifteen or twenty minutes; then when cold take a sponge or rag and moisten the eyes, nerk, legs, etc., of a horse; the flies will give those places a wide berth. This may or may not be true but it wijl not cost much to try it. It is said, also, that if carbolic acid soap is rubbed on the neck and legs of a horse he will not be bothered by flies. The strong odor, of tbe soap drives these miser able horse tormentors away; and, besides the soap gives the animal's coat a fine polish. Take a dry cake of soap and rub on after grooming. ? - ?

Three lines in a dally paper have Just recalled a story of passion, treason and crime; the ruin and degra dation of a brilliant young naval offi cer who. lf> years ago. betrayed his country In order to obtain money for h woman of whom in* was enamored. Ullmo, condemned to penal servitude for life, has bean released from his prison in Devil's Island and given free dom?comparative freedom, that is to sny in the scorched land of Cayenne where he will drag out the remainder of his miserable existence. La Belle Llson was the name of the j woman who fascinated Ullmo In the early years of his career at Toulon. The son of a wealthy Industrialist at Lyons from whom he received a hand some allowance to supplement his pay, Ullmo was envied by his poorer com rades. But La Belle Llson had expen sive tastes. To satisfy them the young officer was (toon deduced to borrowing and then to other more dishonest means of procuring money. Employed In a naval department of fice where he had access to Important documents, he succumbed to tempta tion and began to sell secrets to for eign agents. He even endeavored to sell to his own government forged documents purporting to be Informa tion relative to a foreign power's mili tary plans. Suspicions were raised and the French authorities laid a trap for Ullmo. French Demand Motors That Economize on Gas Paris. ? France Is ten or twelve years behind the United States In Au tomobile production, Is the conclusion of Andre Citroen, sometimes described as the Henry Ford of France, upon his return from America after mnklng a comparative study of manufacturing In the two countries. "In France," said M. Citroen, "we haven't mass production of automo biles yet because of a more limited market. There are 12,000,000 cars in the United States, a very big market, whereas In France we have 300.000 cars, with, say, 75.000 customers, each one of which buys a t.cw car every threo or four years. "Th* chief difference In French and American cars," said M. Citroen, "!? that of style. The French like a grace ful. light machine, burning relatively little gas. The automobile Is still some thing of a luxury with the average Frenchman. Consider, there nre only .10,000 In n big place like Paris, of which 12,000 are prlvnt*. 12,000 on hire and the rest truck*. "I was amused." said M. Citroen, "at the reception given the two sets of cars I took with me. I thought my caterpillar car which made the trip over the Sahara would be regarded with curiosity. Not nt all. It was my regular type car The novefty of pop sess'ng a French ?nr will appeal to Americans, I think. There everythinp Is for novelty.

EASY TO COMPLY WITH RULE Wonder How This Idea of Identities* tion Would Work With Sua. plcious Bank Cashiers. A rule whs recently established In one of Chicago'*! stores to the effect that any customer wishing to charge and at the same time take purchases must show the floor walker something for identification. One day a stout woman hustled up to the glove counter, selected a pair of gloves, and said to the clerk : "I'll Just take these with 'me. Charge them, .please." The <:clefk tilled out the necessary slip and called " the floor walker. "Have you anything by which you can he Identified?" he asked. The customer flushed uncomfort ably. "Why ? I ? I never heard of such a thing!" "It's a new rule, madam. Every customer Is required to show some mark of identification. I'm sorry, hut none of our other customers have taken offense." -The woman looked about her doubt fully. "Well," she said reluctantly, "if I've got to, I suppose I must." Then quickly unfastening her .collar and pointing to a large brown mole on her neck, she said : "This Is the only mark I've got. I've had It all my life, if you think it's going . to do your store any possible good you're welcome to look at It !" ? Judge. To "Educate" Wine Drinkers. English palates, long noted for their appreciation of fine old wines, are in danger of deterioration because bf the lower price of vintages, accord ing to a group of prominent wine mer chants who propose an English "wine week," in emulation of the French custom. Wine, they declare, is no longer a luxury, as the lower price has brought It within reach of all. The purposes of wine week, It is said, will be to educate the English taste for wines and also to instruct diners In the elementary rules and traditional usages of leverage selec tions. It Is planned to gather a repre sentative group of speakers and writers to sing the praises of wine and to tell those who would learn how to drink it. The merchants expect sub stantial assistance from the govern ments of wine-producing countries, such as France, Italy, Spain and Aus tralia. Interested in Big Ship.
