ALL HAVE FAITH in oMeNs.

Speaking of the superstitions that
hang around poker playing" said ex-
Mayer James j. Jones of Kansas City.
as he sat yesterday in the private office
of Comptroller Golfer cut our way the
mere throwing of match stump or q
half-burned paper cigar lighter under a
players chair is supposed to be a hoo
doc of n deadly type. An ex.judge of
the Supreme Court told me once that
no man had ever been known to fill a
bob-tailed flush while seated over a
eharred match. 4 don't pretend to ac-
count for it, sir, he said; lit is simply
one of those mysterious laws OF ma
ture that are beyond human KEN The
way to remove the hoodoo, az ording
to experts, is to pick up the partially
consumed fragment, burn 1t completely
and rub the ashes on the head of the
individual who deposited it under the
chair. This ceremony generally re-
quires an assistant to hold the other

Incentive TO Good Roads.

A natural effect of the free delivery
system is the Improvement of high
ways throughout the country. In lo-
eating free delivery routes the condi-
tions of the roads is always an import
ant consideration, and many petitions
have been denied on the ground that
the highways were not fit for travel
during the muddy months of the year.
This point Is now understood, and near
~ every petition that comes to the de-
partment these days is accompanied by
an offer or IA pledge on the part Of the
county commissioners to improve the
roads and put them in fit condition rs
rapidly as the new system is estab-
lished

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible maiady
nearly always inherit it--not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often ruus
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes Its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the bodyi
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma.
nentiy all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood--every vestage
of it driven out This S. s. S. does, and
Is the only medicine that can reach deeps
seated, obstinate blood troubles like tkis.
When all tie poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and tho
disease never returns

tartin. .earIv potatoes.

The plan tested at the Rhode Island
stations of sprouting seed potatoes. in
trays so that they would be fairly
grown. or as large as they usually are
at the first hoeing. when they were set
in the field, seems TO be so simple and
to have so Increased the yield, as well
as given an earlier crop. that we cannot
refrain from mentioning it again, in the
hope that some of our readers will try
it. They used trays 3% feet long and
liz feet wide, convenient size for one
man to handle, and holding about a
bushei each when they We're spread
out. The sides of the trays were but
about an inch high, and the bottom was
of laths placed an inch apart. Then
these We're placed on a rack so as to
leave eight or nine inches between
them. and that placed so as TO give each
tray air and sunshine above and be-
low, + room only moderately warm.
Thus they had on each piece a strong,
vigorous Sprout three or four inches
high when ready TO set them out and
they found that the increase in yield at
the time they were ready FOR digging

over those kept in a cool cellar and
planted in the open ground, while when
fully mature the gain was 40 per cent,

SOAP MANUFACTURE IN SPAIN

Julius C. Lay United States Consul Cen

industry and enabled II 10 acquire an i'm
portance that but for that outlet 1t would

al insignificant proportion CT the exports

Especially was this the case says Mr.
Lay, before the loss of the colonies. for
in the year 1897. Spain sent 1915 tons TO
her dependencies and only 1l2 tons to other
countries. The total exports during 1909
amounted to over G,IGz tons, while those
for the two months ended February q,
1901 reached / 702 tons.
In the Province of Barcelona alone,
there are over one hundred soap factories.
including the extensive works of the firm
of RocamoTa Hermanos, which are among
the largest soap factories of Europe. Their
soap is manufactured almost exclusively
for export. Cuba being the best market

''Cocoanut oil also forms one of the Drin-
