well along by the middle of June.
Arrived at the farm the little ones are
subjected to a mild discipline, or, rather. a
| necessary organization. The boys are told
off into divisions. A part of these will be
garden boys. those who will work for two
or three hours a day in the potato patch,
the tomato paech. the turnip patch, or
wherever they may be assigned. Then al
ways there is pump boy, who pumps and
carries water, a kitchen boy, "cowboys,'
and so on. Any city youth who has aspra-
tions to be a cattle puncher may try him

not fall heavily on anybody, as so many
are at hand to help. and do not take as a
rule more than two hours Of the day. AS
the work is strange to the children, they.
for the most part, regard the tasks as
amusements.
Programmes are mapped out by those IN
charge for the full two weeks stay. Six
o'clock is the rising hour. Then comes
breakfast after that an hour devoted to
games and sheer fun" Then, the chores
and garden work. At noon is dinner time.
At o'clock the boys bathe and at o'clock
the girls. The rest Of the afternoon is US
ually leisure, and in the evening entertain
ments are devised. Many Of the boys and
girls have an untutored genius for imper-
sonation or quite an ability as vaudeville
entertainers. These are given their chance
and the Shows are said to both amusing
and original.
The children are obtained by G. Barrin-
ger, who is in the employ of the association.
He keeps in touch with the public and
parish schools in the congested district, and
in this way finds the most deserving. The
Proyident Association also works in con-

lead them to the sluns.

The marshaling Of the first 100 children
of the sluns, who will be given two weeks
outing in the country, has been begun by
the Children's Industrial Farm Association
of this city. Aided by the financial contrt-
buttons of those who believe in this form
of charity, the association will transport
the first contingent of the little ones to
the farm near Eureka. Mo-, about June 3.
The children who will enjoy this initial
excursion will come from the vicinity of
Tenth and Eleventh streets and Franklin
avenue. During the summer, every two
weeks, other parties will be gathered from
other sections Of the city. These will num-
ber, when all Is working smoothly, close
to 200, and. during the fortnight, enjoy the
freedom and health-giving sports Of the
country. and return at the end Of their
season at the house party to give place
to others.
That is what the sojourns at the farm
are-big house parties to many little chill
dren who couldn't for the life of them un-
derstand that social designation. True, there
is no golf. which Is provided at the regula-
tion house-party amusement for guests.
nor Is there tally-ho or automobile about,
nor are there hothouse-bred young women
by correct young gentlemen in the proper
flannels or duck suit.
START AFTER SCHOOL CLOSES.
There are none of these things which we
associate with house parties. but there are
a hundred or more girls and boys having
good time, girls and boys who probably nev-
er had thoroughly enjoyed themselves be-
fore Having a good time is the most es-
sentlal feature Of a house party. anyhow
and in this sense the jubilation Of the sons
and daughters of the city's poor at this
rustic home out near Eureka Is the best
kind of house party that ever was.
The children will start the first Monday
after the closing of school If the garden
at the farm is by that time far enough ad-
vanced The garden is a very essential fea-
trre. for 1t supplies fresh succulent vese-

pureSt of EmeI|ientS and
Greatest of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Torturing, Disfguring
Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof Of which a single
amounting with it, preceded by a hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by a dose Of Cuti-
Ira Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to a speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1T is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simpleswants of the toilet, in caring for
the'skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more ~ettectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.
It's "Instant relief for s~kin-tortured

golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each i'll connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandrutf, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, feelings ant
chafings, as well as for all purposes Of
the toilet, bath and nursery.
