that Plat will win out In the end.
Naturally his long leadership has won
for him many friends who refuse TO

friends are men of national reputa'

On the other hand the democrats

KILLING M GRASS.
There Arc Three Things bermuda
Grass Can Not stand in Con-
tinued Application.

A reader in Tennessee has had some
experience with this troublesome
grass. He says it takes time and per
sistent effort to make Il sure job OF
killing it. There are three things
which Bermuda grass will not stand
in continued applieation-frst, to ex-
pose the roots to the air and cold
during the winter by a frequent stir
ring of the soil with the pillow and
harrow; second, to expose the roots
to summers heat by the same means;
third, to following the winter treat
ment by planting cow peas or any
crop that will shade the ground heav-
lily. A heavy crop of winter wheat,
rye, oats or barley. followed quickly
by COW peas, will be very hard on
the Bermuda grass (and on other
weeds as well). Where there is only
a small plot, plow or dig the ground
over, and shake the dirt from the
roots in any convenient way. A po-
tato hoe is a good tool for the pur-
pose. Or cover the land heavily with
wheat or other straw. Shade and
acid fermentation will choke out the
grass. Netch may possible prove to
be even more effective than COW peas.

PERSONAL CHARM.
1t sfust he Assiduously Cultivated By
the Actress Who Wishes to BE
a Success.

There are few people except those
stage who can fully comprehend the
professional life of one engaged in the
presentation of the higher class drama.
1t has become a custom of recent years
to attack with more or less ability the
moral and intellectual tendencies of
the stage, and more than one fierce
wal has been waged against the So
called degeneracy of the modern
drama. This. of course, arises from
the lack, or rather the want, of a more
intimate knowledge of stage affairs.
l take it that a large majority Of
those engaged in the dramatic profess
sion are DESTROYS of elevating the stage,
that being a common phrase these
days. When we look back over what
has been accomplished for the stage in
the United States during the past 25
years, II cannot help realizing that a
great reform has taken place, and this
reform is for the better. We have bet
ter theaters, both for the comfort of
the players and the audiences.
I'VE have more actors and better ac-
tors. Some of the best financial minds
in the country are largely interested in
the business.
There is II phase. however, think,
of the stage and its life to-day that
those who are inclined to criticise are
apt to forget in their TRADES, and that
is the education in personal attractive
ness and adornment, and, incidentally,
the education of health that the wom-
an Of the modern stage is not only seek
ing tc give, but in fact giving to herso-
cietysister.
lfShakespeare dissected the inner
man, the modern playwright certainly
exploits the outer woman.
In the mythology of every nation
there has been a possessor of a magic
mirror in which can be seen reflected
the future. 1t is this mirror that the
modern drama holds up to it's behold
ers. 1t may be said in all modesty that

ABOUT P N
III a Little Care Is Exercised. No Won.
an Need Go ArOun with I'm
Wrists.

This winters trouble with chapped
hands has renewed the interest Of
women, and men, too, in lotions and
other things which help to keep them
soft, and many authorities are
quoted on the subject of the care OF
the hands.
The chief reason of this common
but annoying complaint of cold
weather is that the skin, losing its
elasticity because of a lack of natural
secretion at a time hat atmospheric
conditions do not induce perspira-
ton, becomes unduly dry and con-
tracted, and so liable to crack. 1t
is a tender skin that will do this,
because tender skins are thin and
delicate, and cannot stand what
rougher ones will.
Another cause is carelessness in
drying the skin after washing it.
particularly if it is washed imme-
diately before going out into the
open air or directly after coming in.
Very many persons in cold wealth
er dare lot wash their hands either
before going out or Immediately aft
er coming in, for if they do, even
though the water they use be warm
their skin will burn so as to be pain
full, and it will look red besides.
They may avoid such an annoy
nee if they will rub on the hands a
little cold cream or camphor ice, al
low it to remain on a moment or so,
and then remove it with a soft old
handkerchief, either of silk or cam
brio.
Another delightful emollient for
the hands, arms and neck is fine oat-
meal. Put it into a flannel bag, boil
and then place it in the water intend
ed for additions, or it may be kept
dry in a jar on the toilet table and
some rubbed on the hands whenever
they are washed. Honey rubbed into
the skin, while still wet, drying it in
as the skin is dried, is also a proven
tive of chapping.
If hands were dried more carefully
there would be less roughness of the
skin. A good plan is to dry the hands
well, after using the towel, with ar
old, soft silk handkerchief.
Glycerine is an old friend, but as
alone it is irritating to most skins
it should be diluted with rose water
or pure water, one part of %glycerine tc
three parts of rose water. If about one
dram of acetic acid is used to one
ounce of glycerine, it helps to re
move any stain from the hands.
If a woman is wise she will take
| the precaution to wear gloves whei
busting a room or doing any kind o.
| work that will soil her hands.-Chi

[ FOR PRUNING.
h Superintendent Growth Of
Fruit or Shade Trees.

(1.) The knife or saw should
never be used on a fruit or ornament

good reasons for SO doing.
(2.) Train all trees while young
with a central leader or main shoot,
and never allow two main branches
to grow in such a way as to have the
weight of the tree come upon a fork
of the main trunk.
(3.) When branches cross, so as to
be injured by rubbing together, the
weaker of the two should be cut out.

A Prominent Singer Saved From Loss Of
THE WINTER BUGS REVENGE.
RetaIlates Upon a Frying EntomOlo.
gist no Pokes Into Its Fam
N lily History.

An alarming state of affairs exists in a
Michigan town, where a scientist-and an
entomologist at that-has been bitten by a
bug. If there is any one whom one would
imagie a bug would respect 1t would be an
entomologist, for he spends his life in the
uplifting of the bug species; but is seems
not, says the St. Paul Globe. This, how
ever, was an exaggerated case, as the
scientist in question went all the way to
Michigan from Washington to study into
the habits and haunts of the winter bug,
and it was the winter bug that bit him.
He was bitten on the chin and soon lapsed
into a semi-conseious condition, and it is
exceedingly doubtful whether he will ever
be able again to engage in the pleasant &C.
cupation of chasing bugs. 1t was undobt-
edly a bug that was not inoculated with
the modern spirit Of scientific investiga-
ton that bit the professor; it resented
anybody prying into It's manner of living
and desired no assistance until it was
asked for. 1t can be fairly said that it was
the very best bite of the winter bug, and it
is to be hoped that the summer bug is of
a kindiier nature and knows a little more
about modern science as she is now

Change. wrought by Age.

In the body changes that take place
as we grow old, Metchnikoff and other
Psychologists suppose that an impor-
tant part is taken by the p~hagocytes,
or devcuring cells. Some years ago it
was made to appear that some of these
cells are color eaters, and that they
whiten the hair by selling the pigment
grains and conveying them into the
skin or out of the organism. On fur
Their study the theory has been evolved
that old age itself is due to phagocytes
thatdestroy the cells. The nerve
eating cells have been found in the
brains of many old people and old mann
mails, as well as in persons suffering
from nervous disease, but in no cas-
have they been known to reach such
development-or TO have SO nearly

should be thinned out before they
have made much growth; if the main
branches are bare, or If the head is
open in places, suckers would be al
lowed to grow where they will cover
this condition. If parts of the trees
are weak in growth, this weak wood
may be cut out and some of the suck
ers allowed to grow in it's place.
The cause of these sprouts is that
the sap becomes impeded by the
bending down of the branches, with
weight of fruit, by the hot sun strik-
ing the branches, or perhaps by some
injury to the bark in pruning or gath
ing the fruit, and nature makes this
effort to repair the injury. The re-
moval of these suckers will soon re-
suit in the death of the tree, while
allowing some of them to grow where
needed will renew the vigor of the
tree.
co. If large branches are to be re-
moved, make the cut in the middle OF
the enlarged part where it joins the
main branch or trunk, and not quite
in line with the face of the main
branch or trunk.
% Paint all wounds above one
half inch in diameter with linseed oil
paint, gas tar or grating wax.
(S.) Never cut away the main
branches of a tree if it can be avoid
ed, but thin out the head, when it
becomes crowded, from the outside,
This can be quickly done with a prun-
ing hook on a long pole, and a little
or no injury will result; while If the
large branches are cut from the trunk
the tree is weakened and soon dies,
or is broken down.
co. Cut off dead branches as soon
as discovered and cover the wound
with paint to prevent further decay
(10.) In training young trees, start
the branches low; the trees will grow
better, the thinning and gathering
the fruit will be more easily done, and
the cultivation can be az well and
cheaply done with the modern Acme
or spring-toothed harrow and weeder

trunk of the tree and ground under

we sisters of the stage are in advance
that is, we lead the wayne picture
what is to be rather than portray what
has been. And l am not sure but that
the chief exploitation is that of health.
+ Surely there is no harder worked
creature than the modern actress; and,
to be able to perform her work, health
is the n great essential. The actress
is a literal slave. She IA go nowhere,
see no one; she must be careful of her
diet and of her nerves. The routine of
her life must be carried on with alb
soiute military precision. She must
sacrifice all that a woman most loves
in order that she may be physically able
to carry on her work. 1t is the prep
aration of this work, the physical prep
aration, hat is so vital to the modern
actress.
This preparation means time and
money; it means, in a sense, a life of
luxury, but it is an expensive luxury;
but, after all, this luxury, so-called, is
an extreme necessity. While it is true
the leading actresses of the country
make money in large quantities, little
of it is being saved. Their income
must be spent with a lavish hand.
1t is the accessories of ones life-the
life of an actress that are so essential
the masseuse, the manicure, the hair
dresser and the maids-and oftentimes
so many of them-all of the necessary
helpers in the great battle for health.
There is the cold plunge in the morn
ing that must be taken in the proper
temperature; the drives and other out
of-door exercises-the constant, cease
less care of the body that takes up
the necessary routine. 1t is a never
ending struggle; therefore 1 repeat
again hat the actress, if she be true to
her profession, is indeed a slave.
The stage of to-day maynot deal with
philosophical religious thought in the
same earnest manner in which it has
done in the past, nor delight in the de-
piction of abstract phases of charac-
ter, but it does present living men and
women of to-day. To portray the
women the actress is obliged to sum
mon every art and to perfect herself
in every physical charm hat she may
serve as a model for personal attract
iveness.-Virginia Harmed, in Boston

A Veterans Story.

Bath, N. Y, April l3th.-The first con-
sideration of the Commandant and Officers
in the conduct of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Home here, is the health of the Vet
Grams. Kidney Troubles are the most COM
mon cause of ailment, very few of the old
men escaping these in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much as
possible for themselves and one of the
most. popular and useful remedies en-
ployed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which seem
to be llmost infallible in cases of Kidney
arrangements. Indeed, there are among
the veterans. several who claim to owe
their lives to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to
the home from Minneapolis, MINI, was
given up by four doctors in that city. He
had Bright's Disease and never expected
to live through it, but his life was saved
and his health restored by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men and no one
who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for any
Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

Filth and Disease Germs.

Disease of man or animals does
not originate in filth, but elsewhere,
but germs may enter into the filth
and breed there, and sally forth so
attack either man or beast. If there
are no germs there, hogs for instance,
may revel in filth and no infectious
disease will be manifested. Filth can
not originate germs, any more than
they can be made in a carpenters
shop. But when once infested the
hogs will also infect the filth to
which they have access, and in turn
the filth will furnish germs freely to
any hog that may come along.-Farm
