® # - Older Men : Best in Work Says H. L. Ickes -- Answers Claim Cabinet is Fagged, ¢ Inefficient / Washington, -- Take it from Har old L. Ickes (who ought to know) a man in middle life can do more work than a youngster : . The interior secretary, who consid. ers himeelf lucky if ho gets Satur- day afternoons off, says: "As a person gets older he can do more work, for he has acquired a philsosophy of life which enables him to take each hurdle as it comes with- out undue strain. i "The young person can't put in the hours of the older one and should not try. He needs more piay." - Ickes remarks were inspired by a recent statement of Senator Hiram Johnson about brain fag. The Calif- ornia senator had said no one in the administration right now is working 60 per cent efficient because of wear- iness from long hours and concen- tration on difficult problems, A reporter, seeking to check up on that, found Ickes, one of the hardest worked men, in an air-cooled office, coatless and wearing a gay green neck tie. He looked chipper, He said: "Senator Johnston came down to see me just a few days ago before adjournment, I'm sorry that I gave him that impression." "No man can judge how efficient he is, of course, Neither can one who sees him once or twice a year. Some people have to have exercise, some can work only a limited number of hours and require vacations. Others can dig in for long hours of grind- ing work indefinitely." = Then the reporter went around tol see Harry Hopkins, relief administra- tor. He joked, . : } "It sounds to me' as though Hiram is worn out through his own recent efforts in congress;"- ; Attorney General Hugh Cumming, caught at a staff meeting refused to consider it a weighty problen) of pub- lic health, - - "My own office 'is functioning ef- ficiently T¥om 9 to 4.30 or 5," was all he would say.

Taken first thing in the morning, one or two cups followed by a few minutes exer. cise constitutes exceli=ni aids to good health. Hot water and lemon at other times during the day is never a mistake, In fact it is an excellent thing if one experiences any discomfort after eat- ing, and is particularly valuable in relieving constipation. Tap water is always vety refreshing, but hot wat- er, if available, has a better effect upon thd aystem. While we should not like to go so far as to advocate no tea or coffee, it is well-known that experts all frown upon any, excess of these two delicious beverages, and certainly there ars times 'when het water and lemon would make a much more des- irable drink from a bealth stand- point.

Be very careful. Take them in extreme moderation, and we strongly recommend those made from pure, fresh fruits, in preference to any other--and avoid the sweety sweet variety on account of their ex. cess sugav content, From the above it will be under. stood that what one drinks is quite as important from a health stand point as what one eats, and one can not go wrong if a preference is shown for hot water, either plain or with somo pure, fresh fruit juice added, taken at any hour of the day or night While discussing drinks it should be added that such pure juices as to. mato, orange, and grape are not only very delectable but of immense value as an a.a to health, and should be part of the daily diet.

Essex.--Metthods of cultivation and cropping for the suppresslon of weeds always involve considerable time and labor and everyone concern. ed is looking for some easier way to eradicate weeds, Chemical weed kill ers afford an easy means of destroy- ing small patches of certain persist. ent perennial weeds and of killing many roadside weeds. ROTATION BEST . Chemical weed killers, however, can never take the place of good suitable crop rotation, thorough cultivation and the maintenance of the fertility of the soll, . ' The chemical weed killers with a sodium chlorate base have proved most effective, but their cost in. most cases prohibits their use on large areas. Some of them, however, are now used effectively, and it 1s claim- ed, economically, to destroy weeds on roadsides, Results of the experiments conduct- ed at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege indicate that sodium chlorate can be used economically to destroy large areas of ox-eye daisy and wild carrot in pasture fields. Never use pure sodium chlorate any place where there Is danger of fire, and observe great care in handling it. It is more dangerous than gasoline. It is highly inflammable and under dome conditions explosive. Experiments have shown that (he following weeds can be destroyed by using a chemical weed killer with a godium chlorate base: Perennial sow thistle, wild carrot, ox-eye daisy, orange hawkweed, blueweed, bindweed, wild chicory, twitch grass, poison jvy and Canada thistle, BEST SOLUTION In using chemical weed killer with a sodium chlorate base the solution should be made by dissolving halt a pound of the weed killer in a gallon of water, This solution should be applied at the rate of approximately one gallon to 190 square feet, Perennial sow thistle can he de- stroyed by spraying the patch twice with a solution of a weed killer with a sodlum chlorate base. Make the first application when the flower buds are well formed, but before any color Is showing. Follow this with a second application about a month later, Blueweed, burdock, \ wild carrot, orange hawkweed and ox-eye daisy can be destroyed with one ap- plication of a weed killer with a sod- fum chlorate base. Spray these weeds a day or two after the first blooms have appeared, Field bindweed and wild chicory re- quire Lo be sprayed twice with a weed killer with a sodium chlorate base.

Twitch grass is one of the most difficult weeds to eradicate with ohemicals. It requires to be sprayed three times wit a weed killer. Give the first application just as the twitch grass comes into ear, the second when two inches of new growth have appeared, and tue third a month later, When three applications of the weed killer have been made there will be a residual effect upon the crop the next year, but this will not be noticed the second year after treatment. CANADA THISTLE Canada thisth: can be destroyed by scattering over the patches sodium chlorate crystals at the rate of a pound to 100 square feet. This should be done after a heavy frost in the fall, Poison ivy can usually be destroyed by giving one application of a weed killer with a sodium chlorate base any time during th: growing season. If the plants are sprayed during the early summer some new growth may appear in the fall, thus making nec- essary a second application. In ex- ceptional cases, where the poison ivy plants are very old and woody, an- other application may be necessary the following spring. .\When working with poison ivy. gloves and rubber boots should be worn, Weeds In driveways, paths and ten- nis courts can be eradicated by giving a heavy application of a weed killer with 4 sodium chlorate base. The solutioa should be made by dissolving three pounds of the weed killer in one gallon of water, and it should be ap- plied at the rate of approximately one gallon per one hundred square feet. It is well to bear in mind that all weed killers shouid be used with great care near trees and valuable shrubs or other vegetction. These may be gerious'y injurea if weeds near them are sprayed heavily with a weed killer. PRECAUTIONS NEEDED + While it is claimed that weed kill- ers with a sodium chlorate base are not poisonous, ic is advisable to keep livestock away from sprayed pastures or treated areas of weeds until such have received a heavy shower of rain. As a precautionary measure keep plenty of salt available to the live- stock as sodium chlcrate has a flavor very similar to common salt. The best results from chemical weed killers cannot be secured by ap- plying with an ordinary sprinkling can, 'They should be applied with a sprayer that delivers the solution in the form of a fine spray under press- vre. - 700-Year-Old Custom * Tho picturesque village of Briavels, in the Fores! of Dean, was the scene on Sunday evenivg of a time-honored custom which perpetuates certain rights enjoyed by the inhabitants of tho parish for more than 700 years.
