Simms is back from two weeks participation in the Texas army maneuvers. His Citadel train ing made him one of the brightest fig ures on the soldier line. Mr. Angus Patterson, aged 76 years, died on the 19th inst at the rasidenee- of his nephew, Dr. A. Bethune Patter- son, after an illness of about ten days. He was a son of the Hon. Angu^ Pat terson, who for many years was presi dent of the State Senate, and was one of the first to enlist in the Confederate Army. Married by Rev. C. E. Burts, D. D.. on the 19th inst. at the Hotel Jerome in Columbia, Mr. M. E. Black and Miss Lou Bell Cooper. The hail storm along Buck Creek on the 8th inst. was even more de structive '‘than first reported.

Daisy Deals Death to Billions of Insesct One Whiff Causes Nervous Breakdown and Starvation to Flies, Mos quitoes, Etc. Strange as it may seem, a beautiful red daisy closely related to the com mon field! daisy with its orange disc center ami white petals (she loves me —she loves me not) is the deadliest enemy of house flies, mosquitoes, moths and other perennial pests. Con tact with this colorful field flower in stantly gives the insects a nervous breakdown (no f oling!) and within a few seconds, unabh to forage for food cr water, they starve to death. “Pyrethrum,” scientists call the deadly essence, which they now use as a powerful killing consiltuent in insect spray. And today, when flies, roaches, moths or whatnots get on the harassed housewife’s nerves she goes them one better. She flies for the spray gun and gives the flies a swift and deadly case of nervous prostration. It was a Jugo-Slavish hausfrau who accidentally discovered the insect-kill ing power of the pyrethrum daisy when she picked a 1> uquet of the bright red owers and put them on a table in the house. Later -he noticed a great number of dead insects around withered bouquet. Subsequently, small European manufacturers gr und the flowers into a fine powder and 1 dis tributed it around' the continent a> a dust to be blown at insects by means of small bellow's. More recently, pyrethrum daisy growing ha s become an agricultural industry in various countries and the Gulf Oil Corp. of Penna.-Gulf Refining Co. imports vast quantities of the death-dealing yellow’ dust for use in its insect sprays. According to Dr. William A. Siman- ton, entomologist at Gulf’s Research Laboratories the killing action of pyrethrum-is very rapid, when mixed in proper quantities with an esepcially refined hyrocarbon carrier and spray ed a* a fine mist into a room or cup board. When the fine mist comes in contact with an insect, it penetrates into the insect’s nervou s system, de stroying the nerve cells, causing par alysis. Within a few seconds death results from starvation. The organs and functions of insect bodies are de cidedly different in many respects from those of the human body and those of animals and birds. Hence pyre thrum, so deadly to flies, mosquitoes, roaches, moths and other insect s and; their larvae, has no effect on human beings or their pets. So if the dog or the cat or “the old man” gets on the housewife’s nerves, the Gulfspray gun won’t do much go( d. ■■ ^ DR. HENRY J. GODIN Sight Specialist Offices 956 Broad St. AUGUSTA, GA.
