fumigation. The best results usually
follow where the husks are removed
from the com, so that the grain can
be placed in an open crib for a period
of ten to fifteen days where it will have
access to plenty of light and air. This
also operates to fret* the grain from
the weevil, which cannot withstand
light, especially sunsldne.
Apply Carbon Disulphid.
After tin* corn is thoroughly dry, it
should be placed in an air-tight crib
and four pounds of carbon disulphid
should l>e applied for each l.nOO cubic
feet of space in the crib. If tin* shucks
i*re not removed, the quantity should
be doubled. Tlte application should
not be made on damp or rainy days, a
too much moisture prevents speedy
evaporation. A second fumigation
should la* performed within 'Jfi to "0
days after tin* first.
Ordinarily, two fumigations are suf

HEAL WAR HERO
A real war hero has an important
* ! part in the third episode of "The
' i Hiack Secret" Pearl White’s latest
Rathe serial which will be shown at
! the Royal Theatre on Saturday of
; ' each week. He is Milan Stefanovitch,
a native-born Serbian with a war
record as tony as the New York Cen
tral.
Purine tin early days of the war,
! Stefnnox itch wa- a lieutenant in the
| Serbian army, and was engaged in se
rret m i . it e work for his country
j avail t Austria and Turkey. While
1 j in tliiwork lie was decorated for
bravery by the Sultan of Turkey,
having saved two women relatives of
that iiikr from drowning in the Bos
phorus. Needle- to say, the Sultan
was not aware of the identity of the
man he honored. One of Stefano
vitch' highly prized decorations was
pinned on his tunic by King Peter of
Serbia, for bravery in action against
the Austrians.
On coming to this country, Stefan
ovitch becalm an American citizen
and when the United States entered
i the war, he enlisted in the United
States army. The signing of the ar
mistice, however, prevented him from
going overseas, and he chose the
most' exciting career—that of a pic
ture actor. Stefanovitch bears his
battle scars with pardonable pride.
He is a skilled artist in oils or with
sketching materials, and he speaks
six languages.

He knew just what was going to

Our friend stood it as long as he
