FEBRUARY 27, 1947 THE LEHI SUN, LEHI, UTAH THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1947 Cacti, Native to Western World, Abound In Species Cacti are native to the Western hemisphere, with the possible excep-tion excep-tion of Rhipsales, and there are 1,500 recognized specimens and subdivisions. subdivi-sions. They are dicotyledonous, perennial pe-rennial and succulent in all cases, succulent making them capable of Btoring within themselves sufficient moisture to enable them to withstand with-stand arid conditions. In most cases leaves are absent but when they are present, rney are small and soon fall. Roots vary greatly, being-fibrous in most instances, in-stances, although they may be tuberous, tuber-ous, aerial or taprooted. Blossoms are usually large and showy and the fruits are berries that in many cases are edible. The distinguishing mark of the cactus is in the areoles, specialized organs from which spring branches, flowers, spines, glochids (barbed hairs) and, when present, leaves. The position and number of these areoles are determining factors in differentiating species, as are also the number, form and position of the spines. r-r Rosy cheeks and pep to all...

So a dozen pullet eggs is equal in food quantity to three-fourths of a dozen of large eggs. If the price of small eggs is less than three-fourths that of large eggs then they're a better buy. With medium size eggs, if the price is more than one-eighth lower than large eggs then they're a better bet-ter buy. Brown eggs are a bargain at any season if the price is lower than white ones of the same size since the food value of eggs is the same whether the shell is brown or white. Watch for .the prices of different dif-ferent grades of eggs, too. Remember Remem-ber lower grade eggs have just as much food value as better grades. Grade AA and A eggs are most satisfactory for boiling, poaching, or frying. Grade B and C eggs, which are usually cheaper, are entirely satisfactory sat-isfactory for many cooking and baking bak-ing purposes. ' Charley Horse Not Cramp A Charley horse, the bane of baseball players and other athletes, is not a muscle cramp, but an injury in-jury to a muscle, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. A Charley horse or muscle Injury and a cramp are of entirely different pathologic origins, the article says, adding that massaging massag-ing is not advisable for a Charley horse, but is advisable for a cramp, In discussing treatment, the artjqlt gives this -advice: "In the acute stage at the onset of a Charley horse the leg should be packed in ice about the injured area and held quiet for half an hour to an hour. In the acute stage subsequently for about six weeks the leg should be placed at rest in a cast or splint and kept quiet for 10 days, the patient continuing con-tinuing to wear the cast for six weeks; diathermy, long wave treatments, treat-ments, should be given daily; heat or contrast baths should be given; gentle motion should be given every few days to prevent stiffness. .

University of California astronomers at Lick observatory here have completed, com-pleted, studies giving them new insight in-sight on the rotation of the sun in its orbit in the Milky Way. Dr. Nichols U. Mayall, associate astronomer, said studies of 50 globular globu-lar star clusters showed that the whole system rotates slightly. The finding takes on importance when it j is realized that the rotation of the sun was calculated from these clusters clus-ters on the belief that they did not rotate. However, the astronomer said the discovery does not change the estimate esti-mate of speed of the sun's circular motion. Earlier calculations proved lucky, he said, and gave the correct cor-rect cirular velocity for the sun. Better Custard If eggs are beaten slightly with a fork, the custard will have a smooth top. Overheating eggs into a foamy froth only makes a coarse textured custard. Corn syrup helps to make smooth, delicate custards. Ton hear a lot about capital and labor nowadays, as if the two eonld never get together. But look at Bert Childers who has 82 aeras : of producing land, a fair-sized herd ef cattle, and two farm hands working work-ing for him. ,4 , Lf you called Bert a "capitalist" he wouldn't know what you meant, and neither would Spika and Sandy, the hired men. Bert works side by side with both of them; and in the evenings they sit around the fire together sharing a friendly glaBS of beer or two. If anybady had a beef whether it's about wages or hours or equipment equip-ment they talk it over at those friendly t vaning sessions. : I dont say all labor problems aro as simple as Bert's. But from whera I sit, the basic principle applies ap-plies to any farm or factory or business : A principle of confidence and mutual respect, of daily talks together in a friendly and congenial con-genial atmosphere.
