BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells r! about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
"At the ncc OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on Eisright
cheek, We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise In
two weeks more anot her scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. IL
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old. | began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took HOODS
sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." Mrs. S. s. WRoTEN, Farming

A SINGULAR FRIENDSHIP.
Cat and Hen Took Turns In Setting
on the Eggs with ReSu-
IErity.

That the lion and the lamb will never
lie down together is a matter on which
the most optimistic can have little
doubt, says the New York Herald One
is not surprised when such noble ami
mails as the dog and horse affiliate, nor
the equally interesting cat and monkey,
for they have much in common, but that
Tabby and a chicken should fraternize
with the utmost good will is surely
worthy of remark.
A suburbanite had a pet hen, who,
mounting into her lap, with cackles of
delight, would deposit its morning Of
fering in the improvised nest. The
creature was finally set in a special box
in the carriage house, and the family
waited with interest for the coming
brood. One morning they noticed the
hen at breakfast, and again, half an
hour later, the fowl was strutting about,
in apparent indifference to her cooling
eggs.
She'll make no setter" was the dis
gusted comment. "She's been too PAM
pered."
Following her to the carriage house,
the woman was just in time to see a
fluffy mass leap from the box and the
hen serenely take its place on the nest.
This continued throughout the three
weeks. When Madam Hen took her
morning constitutional Tabby would
obligingly keep house and look after
her interests, leaving the moment the
little lady returned

cood roads ana Motors

With the coming of the automobile
we presume many suggestions will
presently appear in print as to the need
of better highways and advice to farm
ers as TO when and how the roads
should be improved. That the roads
should be improved we freely admit,
but that the farmers should do the
work or meet the expense of it so as to
make $1,000 horseless vehicles popular
and practicable and thus reduce the de-
mand for an important product of the
farm strikes us as not being quite just.
The injustice of compelling farmers to
give the land devoted to public road
purposes and then maintain the roads
for public use will be strikingly appar-
ent when the automobile manufacture
ers take up the cry for good roads,

tions, it should be said that the lines
built and the lines now building are all
of the underground trolley style. Not
a single overhead trolley is permitted
in this city. 1t costs considerable
money to make the underground con-
duits, but they are effective and per-
manent. There were many contests
before the congress for several years,
but each succeeding congress deter
mined that no overhead trolleys should
mar the beauty of the city; and finally
the congress mandatorily settled the
question by compelling all companies
to adopt the underground system.
Outside of the district, however, the
overhead trolleys are used. One of
more, and the newspapers of that city
are referring to the national capital
as "a suburb of Baltimore"
This reminds one of the fact that
for many years large numbers of the
government clerks have lived in Balti-
more, coming here daily on commuta-
ton tickets, because they could pay
railroad transportation and yet live
more cheaply in Baltimore than here,
because rents and other living ex-
penses were so much less. These rapid
transit lines will bring many OF them
back to Washington, because they can
build homes for themselves practically
within the city, on the heights newly
opened to substantial settlement.

While residing at Rome | paid a visit
to the lunatic asylum there, and among
the more remarkable patients one was
pointed out TO me who had been saved
with much difficulty from inflicting
death upon himself by voluntary starv-
alton in bed, under the impression that
he was defunct, declaring that dead
people never eat. 1t was soon obvious
to all that the issue must be fatal, when
the humane doctor bethought of the
following strategem: Half dozen of
the attendants, dressed in white
shrouds, and their faces and hands COW
cred with chalk, were marched in sin
gle file, with dead silence, into a room
adjoining that of the patient, where he
observed them through a doorway pur-
posely left open sit down to hearty
meal.
'Hallo!" said the would-be corpse to
an attendant, who be they?"
Dead men," was the reply.
what" rejoined the defunct, do
dead men eat?"
ITO be sure they do, as you sce,' an
swered the attendant.
IF that's the case exclaimed the
dead man, IN join them, for I'm fam
ished. London Lancet.

when you have the animal securely fas-

The most vicious beast can be held in
this manner and no amount of exertion

the helper can after little practice let
the animal loose quick as wink. The
spikes should be made of tough hickory

are all that is necessary. With this de-
vice the travel can be done in light

As to the question of clippers, the
ones i'll use here are of the bevel draw

thus making smooth cut next to the

to heal up. However, l have no doubt
that any of the clippers advertised will

but we donot see why. 1t will keep away
flies, but it VIII not keep away dirt. And
dirt, as is well known, causes irritation.
Something must be put on to form a
smooth, dry scab that will resist dust.
The proper time to dehorn is when the
animal is in its infancy. Any time
after the calf is ten days old the embryo
can be lifted with dehorning gouge,
and then is when you start the forma-
ton of natural muley head, which is
hard to initiate, even with clippers, after

These statements clearly outline the
growth of the capital city, for the inn
mediate future. II might also be said
that there is an electric line running
along the heights north of the Poto-
mae, giving beautiful views of that
river, for distance of ten miles; and
homes in that vicinity will be easy of
access TO the city and always attract
i've. This line runs to historic Cabin
John bridge. and the company is at
work extending the line to the great
falls of the Potomac, ten miles further
into Maryland. 1t is all farm land now
and is purchasable at acreage prices.
Projects are already before the con-
gress for the absorption of Alexandria
county. Va, into the District of Column
bia. The people desire readmission to
the district because half of the ex-
penses of the government of the Dis
trict of Columbia are borne by the gem
eral government, and consequently all
taxes are lower. This fact alone in
duces the people across the river on
the Virginia side TO seek the reestab-
lishment of their property as part of
the district. Consequently in the near
future the original ten miles square of
the district will be established,
Thus the growth of the national cap
ital will continue, and contiguous ter
ritory will be settled by home builders
and real estate values within our pres
ent boundaries will remain practically
at a standstill.
Referring TO the electric lines which
have wrought such changes in condi-

in the city. except one. They are CIV
ing rapid transit, on improved under
ground electric lines, from boundary
to boundary for single fare. Their
Georgetown line runs four miles out
into the country in three different di-
rections. Any government employe can
buy a good lot for 500 at the end of
those routes, and he will get as good a
home site as he would have if he were to
pay $1,000 for the same amount of
ground in the city. For one car fare
he can ride to the treasury, capitol, gov
eminent printing office, or any other
department Moreover, he can reach his
office as quickly as the clerks used to
reach their offices on the old horse cars,
from Mount Pleasant, or distant parts
of the city proper. Therefore the home
building clerks will buy suburban
property instead of buying city prop
erty. This will cut off the work and
the profits of the real estate dealers.
''The splendid Mclean residence,
which was placed at the disposal of Adj
miral Dewey during his visit to Wash
ington, was originally built and occu-
pied by Boss Shepherd, in 1874, after
that distinguished executive official
had reclaimed the old Washington from
its condition of boys and marshes, and
made it modern city. From that time
until few years ago real estate doomed
and as Washington grew population
and wealth, the real estate dealers
thrived. But that is all past.
"This street railway syndicate now
runs a line into the northeast section.
seven miles out to Bladensburg. Hyatts-
vile and Berwyn, in Maryland. The
transit is rapid, cheap and comfortable.
The cars are as comfortable as Pull
mans. are heated by electricity. and
are always on time. Thus man can
make home for himself in one of the
growing suburban places and be close
enough to his office for all practical
purposes.
Look across the Potomac. See the
beautiful hills over there. with cot
tages growing like magic. The electric
line over the Long bridge carries peo-
pie to that section. But in another
year the congress will pass a bill maxi
ing an appropriation for a splendid
bridge across the Potomac, directly
from the end of New York avenue on
this side of the river. Then our peo-
pie can ride from the treasury TO those
heights in Virginia inside of 10 min
utes. There the home builders can get
ground for five cents square foot;
and that property is better Tor homes
than the huddled places within the city
limits. Those heights overlook the en-
tire city. and families living there can
enjoy the scenery of the city, at night
as well as by day; and they can come
to town to church. theafer, opera and
other places of devotion or attraction
quickly. comfortably and conveniently
/ can see no reason why people should
pay big prices for city property when
they can get suburban property 50 rea-
sonably, and yet be practically within
the city"
