EVA, THE YORKVILLE ELEPHANT WAS KILLED BY DIET OF SAND Eva, one of the big elephants of the Wallace Brothers show, died an unnatural death in Detroit, last Sunday, an Associated Press dispatch says. Eva left Yorkville in excellent health, last April, on the long trek north of the show, and had many friends in this old town, the winter quarters of the big show. The dispatch from Detroit, where Wallace Brothers show was exhibiting the first of this week says: Eva, a three and one-half ton elephant belonging to a circus, died Sunday night from an ill-advised snack consisting of a pair of shoes. A week ago, one of her keepers lay down for a nap near Eva. He removed his shoes and when lie awakened they were gone. There was a distressed look in Eva's eyes. Eva's condition became worse as the week wore on. All day yesterday she attempted to free herself and her keepers said she was responding to an instinctive desire to diq alone. The circus sold the carcass to a Detroit reduction company. But, next day, it was determined at the autopsy, that those shoes did not kill Eva after all, and that she had been unjustly accused of eating them. That stain was removed from her reputation at the post mortem examination. The Associated Press, on Wednesday carried another dispatch from Detroit, saying that a barrel of sand, and not a pair of shoes, caused the death of Eva. Officials of the Detroit Rendering company, who examined the carcass, said they found that much said in her stomach. They found no evidence of the shoes which Eva's keeper, Joseph Secastian, believed the elephant ate. John T. Milieu, Detroit zoo director Baid all animals eat sand and dirt but it would appear that Eva over-ate her cjuota.?Yorkville Enquirer.

[Warns Against | Fraud Insurance I Postiiunrtcr (ieticrul James A Furi ley announced lanight that the Pusj tal Inspection Service lias launched a nationwide drive uguiusi the operators of "fake" mutual benefit life protection organizations which huve h. en conducting their frariulcnt hl hemes through the malls. Compluilith reaching the I'ost Office Department indicate that there are approximately one hundred such fraudulent enterprises now being op orated in various sections of ttic conntry-. which are costing the American public hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Added impetus hits been given the drive by the eight-year Federal penitentiary sentence meted out to Angus C. Mttlelohn of Springfield, Illinois, and the three-year sentence to Charles h. Hill of Lake Charles. Umijdnnu. both of whom were convicted for using the mails to defraud in connection with these spurious life protection organizations. (1 The promoters of these so-called not for profit" mutual benefit societies, associations and clubs, in order .VL/'i .?""Vent exl8,lnK state laws avoid the use of the word "insurance" and call it "protection." Instead of | policy they use the word "certificate and rather than referring to a premium" they call it "voluntary <ontrihution." They further mislead heir victims by selecting confidence a.h1 o f ??mes such us "National Aid Society" and "Southern Life Club of I byslcians' (Guaranty.

'1 li<? promoters accept persopfl indiscriminately up to the age of eighty-five years, yet they claim the Htiength of the society lies in the membership because it is "so careful> selected." They stress the point that no medical examination is required. and especially appeal to "those who, because of udvanced age or physical infirmities, can not obtuin any form of life protection." Literature ,or these concerns contains many false representations, Including stateimnts of fraternal and benevolent features; and the claim that they are operated on the same basis and plans of the old insurance societies which have been successfully operated in Europe since the year 11(18. i'eople of sixty to eighty-five years of age. many of whom are suffering from some chronic ailment unknown to them, are led to believe that, for a monthly contribution of o?e dollar to one do ar and a half, their benefieiar!Z X, ret'eive 8UIn? ranging from wLl ?i to five thousand dollars.

More Milk Products For Farm Families Clemson, June 26.?If 20 to 25 per cent of the value of the family food supply should he made up of milk and milk products, as all dieticians agree, It seems unmistakable that there Is a critical underconsumption of milk and Its products on South Carolina, farms. This striking statement, made by C. (.}.' Cushman, extension dairy specialist of Clemson College, and Miss Myra Reagan, extension nutritionist of Winthrop College, is based on recent census reports that on 66,3581 farms in South Carolina no cows are j being milked and the acknowledged | fact that on countless other South Carolina farms there Is an Inadequate i upply of milk for the farm family. Towards a better knowledge of the j alue of dairy products in the family diet and an increased use of these )|-oducts Mr. Cuslimau and Miss Reagan have prepared and the Extension Service has published Bulletin 100, The Use of Milk and Its Products on tlie Farm. The publication discusses, with ample illustrations, the production, preparation, and use of milk and milk products for home consumption, an important section being that giving about 75 recipes in which milk and milk products are used. Bulletin 100 may be secured through I county farm agents and county home agents, or from the Publications Department at Clemson Collego. i It is interesting to read of the stilt sentences Judge Cooper handed out to the radicals who attempted to overthrow the-government.

Cuhsman, extension dairyman, for guidance In the proper feeding of the family milk cow. These feed needs Include: Two to three tons of bright, leafy, green-cured legume hay (peavlne, soybean, lespedeza, hlfalfa, oats and vetch. Two acres of Improved permanent pasture. One-fourth acre annual grazing crop (Bummer: pearl millet; winter: oats, rye, barley or a mixture of all three.) Eighteen bushels of corn or forty bushels of oats or 25 bushels of barley, or J ,250 pounds of all threo. Four sacks of cottonseed meal. Fight sacks If cottonseed meal is fed alone. Mr. Cushman recommends two grain mixtures for the family cow. First, 100 pounds each of corn-andcob meal, ground oats, ground barley, and cottonseed meal, with 4 pounds of salt. Second, 300 pounds of either corn-and-cob meal, ground oats, or ground barley (or a mixture of these in proportions available) and 100 pounds of cottonseed meul, with four pounds of salt. As feeding guides Mr. Cushmati advises: Feed 2 1-2 to 3 quarts of grain mixture daily to each gallon of milk produced. If cottonseed meul is used alone, feed one quart daily to each gallon of milk produced. If pasture or grazing is not abundant, feed all the ledums hay the cow will consume. Provide plenty of fresh clean water. Aubrey Williams, national deputy relief administrator, says that between 425,000 and 450,000 wprkers will be "dropped within two or three nonths" from the WPA rolls.
