Most everyone knows that, while ill with a cold, food becomes comparatively tastelesfc. While taste and smell are listed separately in the usual classification of the five senses of the body it is known now that there is an intimate connection between the two. It may even be said that some of the more intriguing flavors which man enjoys are really not tasted but smelU'd, according to a Science Service writer. In the moist, warm and dark cavity called the mouth the aroma of foods is released by the dissolving action pf the saliva and travels up into the smelling areas of the nose through the backdoor, so to speak. Inspectors q? food and tasterg of tea, coiTee, butter, cheese and liq- ' uor have learned by experience that they can do their fastest and best work if they first smell the article being examined and do actual tasting only as a confirmatory check. The delicate nerve endings which are known as taste "buds" are not distributed equally through all the regions of the tongue. Sweetness is best detected near the tip. Saltiness and sourness are best tasted on the front and sides of the tongue while bitterness appears to be best observed at the back of the tongue on the top. Why Lighthouse Keepers Eagerly Await Newspaper Know the first thing the wife of a lighthouse keeper looks for when she reads the paper? "Hatches, matches and dispatches." In plain English, that means "births, marriages and deaths." But then, they're news for folks on the mainland, too. Peculiarly enough, however, although most of us read them merely in passing, at a lonely spot such as bleak Dassen island, off the coast of South Africa, they're devoured! The reason is, the mainland?so familiar and such a part of those of us upon it?is something far away 5 and inaccessible to a lighthouse keeper. Yet, his home ties are there, qnd he and his wife, willing exiles though they be, think always in terms of the folks they've left behind. 'That's why "hatches, matches and dispatches" are so important to them at those far-apart intervals when a seagoing tug brings supplies, provisions and news of the outside world. Why Jefferson Did Not Sign Thomas Jefferson was not in the country at the time of the framing, signing and ratifying of the Con- t stitution. In 1784 he was sent to ! France to join Benjamin Franklin and John Adams in negotiating certain commercial matters with foreign countries, and in 1705 he succeeded Franklin as minister to France. In October, 1789, he returned to America and' in the following year became secretary of state in the administration of George Washington. . ^ Why It Is Winter Sports Cradle With the exception of skating, practically every winter sport made its continental debut in St. Moritz. The first skis were manufactured there in 1859. In 1884 the first artificial toboggan run was built by British sportsmen and named the Cresta run. St. Moritz was the first place where iron runners on bob and skeleton (1889 and 1892) superseded runners of curved wood. In 1907 the first horse races on snow were instituted there. Why Okapi Was Not Discovered Authorities say that it is impossible to distinguish an okapi in its native haunts at a distance greater than twenty-five paces. The peculiar coloration of the animal is of such a protective nature that it explains in part why it remained undiscovered so long by the scientific world. Why Bindings Need Moisture Unless there is a little moisture in the library the bindings on leather books are apt to dry out easily. The water may be kept out of sight. It 19 especially necessary, however, 1 during the fall and winter when there is much heat and dry air in the room. Why Colds Rout Smell The reason a person who has a cold loses the sense of smell is that the mucous membranes swell to such an extent that the volatile material is unable to reach the olfactory nerve endings. Why French Girls Are "Midinettes" The name "midinette," applied to French working girls, is derived from the fact that the girls leave the shops and factories where they are em ploy rd every day at noon for the.r midday meal.

Why Ml ?c\ Hills Are So Named The name Blank Hills is a translation of the French "Cote Noir " j The hills were so ntemed by the early French traders from the character of the timber growing on them, which gives them a dark appeal a.tec.

In the Interest of \ CLEAN POLITICS , in Kershaw County c SUPPORT MURDOCH JOHNSON in Tuesdays' Primary / He entered the race subject to the rules of the Democratic Party?waged one of the cleanest campaigns ever known in the County, without criticism of any other candidate, and after piling up an overwhelming plurality which should assure his election, is now compelled through a technicality of the rules of the party to run against a last hour candidate who withdrew from the race earlier in the campaign.
