Stop Cutae Hysteria New information on caniae hysteria, or "running fits" in dogs, bos |een uncovered at the University of Wisconsin. The finding was that dogs did not develop hysteria when kept on a ration containing 80 per cent whole wheat for an eight week period. The results suggest that frhole wheat contains some factor frhich protects «"'»"•'« against the loxic ingredient contained in the " luten portion of wheat. Concen- „ated wheat germ oil containing %oth vitamin E and inositol, a preparation reported to be of value in greating somewhat analogous disorders in man, failed to protect . against hysteria when fed to dogft on a ration containing 2S per cent wheat gluten. |:|h Need Rubber Stamps?

Thai insect which is causing the trouble is the red cedbr aphid, usually found in clusters on twigs and smaller branches of the trees and is responsible for unhealthy, dying conditions found on portions, or even entire trees. They can be effectively controlled by spraying with a nicotine ! soap solution. A good mixture is one-half pint of nicotine sulphate in ; 80 gallons of water, in which a i pound of draft or other good grade I of soap powder has previously been dissolved. Repeat the spray once or twice at five-day intervals to j eliminate aphids carried up on the trees by ants after the first spraying. Need Rubber Stamps?

This program is an improvement of the program , which was urged during the war for enabling non-high school graduates to receive theft diplomas while serving in the armed force*. At the start of the war, the only method by which individuals who had not completed their high school work could receive a high school diploma while^ in the armed forces, was to send in educational credit which they received While in training. Later, it was found that provisions should be made for graduating those individuals who were unable to receive special educational credits while in service. For this purpose, a General Educational Development Test was devised. During the war, this test waa given in the various local high school offices and the results were mailed in to the proper authorities. Since the war has ended, it has been found that a number of adults who were not members of the armed forces were greatly in need of certificates indicating that they had attained an educational level equal to that of high school graduates. Many found need for this type of certificate in meeting requirements for various state licenses, qualifying for jobs and. for college entrance. Too, a large number of individuals desire to meet these educational standards for their own personal satisfaction. AU of these individuals are served by the new plan. Four forma of the General Educational Development Test have been made. They are known as forms 1 A, B, C, D. Form A and B are to' be used by veterans. Form C and D can be used by vetetans and nonvetoran adults. The most essential requirement fi»r being permitted to take the test is that the applicant be 21 years of age. While there are other requirements, it is advised that anyone who meets the 21 years requirement and who is interested in taking the test should talk the matter over with the local superintendent of schools. Each of the five tests contains an article on the subject being considered. The testee reads this article and then answers a series of questions based on this article. With the exception of English and mathematics, no need is found for specific facts learned in high schooL In reality the test examines onei general knowledge and ones ability to read and understand articles on particular itelds of thought. Those wishing to take the $test should report to the office of the local schools. A letter of application will be written and signed by both the applicant and the local school authority. This letter of application is addressed to Elgin Public Schools. The applicant must be known to the local school authority or be properly identified. The letter of application should be accompanied by a small p'juto *pd a 84 fee. Stop in this weekend and select1 your Christmas cards.
