By ELMO SCOTT WATSNN NK hundred and four earg ago this month there took place on the Virginia side of the Potomac river one of the strangest duels In the history of the code duello. Aimr--Ica- 'Jll n It was jortjf Miwoipt a cor- - s, 1 Pain? s Some folks take pain for granted. They let a cold run its course. They wait for their headaches to wear off. If suffering from neuralgia or from neuritis, they rely on feeling better in the morning. Meantime, they suffer unnecessary pain. Unnecessary, because there is an antidote. Bayer Aspirin always offers immediate relief from various aches and pains we once had to endure. If pain persists, consult your doctor as to its cause. Save yourself a lot of pain and discomfort through the many uses of Bayer Aspirin. Protect yourself by buying the genuine. Bayer is safe. Always the same. All drugstores. While the cow Is generally recognized as one source of this trouble, it iW 0- His human opponents wer Impressive enough, for he dared the wrath successively of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Marshall, John C Calhoun, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clny, Daniel Webster and Jackson. . . , He asked no quarter of the best of them, and no weak man could have stood a moment against the least of these. Certain of the elements of greatness John Randolph of Roanoke possessed Inbeyond the shadow of a doubt. In tellectual keenneps and alertness, he rivalled the great Virginians; In courage no man among them surpassed him and not all were his equals; In depth of learning he was superior to most of them perhaps to all! In personal Integrity not Washington himself was further beyond reproach In addition Randoph possessed a quality which none of the stars In Virshared In ginias political firmament anything like the first degree. Thts quality was his sheen, his coruscation, his sheer, blinding brilliance. But for all this, he was a man attended by fatality, the heir of the House of Usher Born to the puiple, wealthy, a handsome youth, charming In his personal relations and equipped with a magnificent mind, It seemed upon his entrance Into public life that all the benefleient powers had combined to Insure his happiness and his glory. But his fair prospects were all Instead of primroses, his Illusory path was strewn with of stones and . Instead beriming thorns . even the stepfather of his country, "I of mean the Commonwealth Virginia, he urged her along a road strikingly which and one he to the trod, similar led not to glory everlasting, but to defeat, madness and death For n physical affliction which Randolph sustained at the age of nineteen, following an attack of scarlet fever, changed the whole course of his life and made him an embittered, frustrated man. To the end of bis days he retained a curiously boyish appearance, beardless, with a shrill, voice. This fact, coupled with the statement that he was "the first orator" of his time and his own statement of "I am an aristocrat. I love justice and hate equality, only accentuates the grotesque character of ttie picture of the man who was John Randolpti of Roanoke. When lie was over forty a spectator in the house gallery was dumfoundod at learning that the skinny youth he saw on the floor, and whom he had believed to be about sixteen, was the great Mr. Randolph of Virginia" The result of this affliction was in- evitable. Here was an intensely proud member of n proud race, a m in who cherished Ids lineage alove all his material possessions, a man to whom tlie family was not merely a sacred, lint a downright awe in plring institution, deprived of tlie privilege of conwrites Johnson. tinuing his famiiv, "Here was a scornful man doomed forever to be the target of tlie shafts of tlie scornful lice was a miner tic man ridiculously debarred fiom amorous romance.

The utensils frequently become a source of contamination due to Improper washing or to the use of contaminated water. To overcome this they should all be thoroughly sterilized, either hv tlie use of a chlorine solution or by steaming. Steaming Is generally the most efficient method, although this is rather difficult on many farms due to the lack of facilities. For efficient sterilization utensils should he steamed for five minutes at 200 degrees Fahren The organism causing the belt. trouble, however, will be killed at a somewhat lower temperature in most cases. Sterilization may be secured by scalding the utensils in boiling water where steaming facilities are not available. This practice Is not recommended because frequently the water is only lukewarm after it has been turned over all of the utensils. Such water has but little value for sterilization. In order to secure sterilization by scalding the utensils should be placed In a container full of boiling water which is left over the fire during the time It Is being used.

The cow testing associations are an- swering this question for many dairymen. The yearly record of the association Is the real standard of a cows production, for it shows what she will do under average conditions for the average farmer. The expense of belonging to an association Is more than made up by discovering the cows that are not paying a profit. By careful selection and weeding out the poor ones, the average herd production in some cow testing associations has been raised to more than 9,000 pounds per cow a year. Many of the cows in these associations are making a profit above feed cost of $L'0 to $3."i0 a year. If you have any surplus stock to dispose of recund can show by the ord that a cow has made, let us say, 1,(HK) pounds of milk, 3..0 pounds of fat and a profit above feed cost of $1S0, it will be no trouble to sell such a cow at a good price.
