TAKING AN AIR BATH.
An Opportunity Given to Allow the
Skin to Breathe.

SNhu " 6TSdtuSs
It must be remembered that we
rarely, II ever, give our skin the op.
portunity to breathe properly. Our
perverted condition in regard to
heavy, unventilated and very often re
stricted clothing has given US skin
that is constantly moist, clammy and
cold to the touch. Or else it Is dry
and dead and can be rubbed off by
the hand with little effort. Restrict.
ed clothing not only damages the
lungs and internal vital organs Of
the body, but causes the circulation
of the skin to become stagnant and
poor. A great many ills that we do
not understand are caused by the
unhygienic practice of smothering the
skin.
Give your body an air bath! Re
animate your skin! This is a splen.

LICE KILLER

The most perfect way to rid chick

too. Is to fill a number of small mar.
row mouthed bottles. with bisulphide
of carbon, leaving them uncorked; tie
one bottle to each perch, alternate Cd
each side of the house, and always to
the highest perches, If more than one
tier is in house. The fumes Of the
crabon always descend, and If the
house is reasonably tight, it will posi-
lively rid the, whole flock and prem
ises Of lice. We have thoroughly test
ed this remedy in the past three years.
l also use it in my wheat bins, and IL
exterminates every grain weevil,
worm or moth which infests the grain
in any way. 1t, Is also good to ex
terminate rats and mice, as all vermin
of every description loath the scent
of bisulphide of carbon, and will moi
stay where it is. It will not injure
the grain in the least, as l have used
1t for number of years.-C. w. Nor

GROWING PEAS

Peas may be sown as soon as the
ground permits. The dwarf kinds are
the earliest. the American Wonder be.
ing an excellent variety. AS dwarf
varieties seldom give more than one
picking. they should be sown in sue.
cession every week or two. One OF
the choice Favored peas Is the Cham
pion of England, but It does best when
supported with strings or. sticks, and
answers well as an intermediate va
riety. Peas may be had throughout
the entire season If sown at regular
intervals, and they should find place
in every garden. This is a matter
which should not be overlooked, as
many are fortunate in having peas
until the Summer is gone, and find il
no more troublesome than growing
them early. Peas are luxury at all
times, and by successive crops the gar
den can be made to yield much more
than it does under the system of gath
ering the seed and allowing the weeds
to appear.

New Zealand.

New Zealand is the interesting coun-
try to which economists refer when
they wish to prove any old thing.
1t is situated a good way from any,
where.
In New Zealand political corruption
is unknown, and yet it is unfair to
conclude from this that the people
there don't know much.
There are no very rich persons in
New Zealand. and while there are
newspapers, these necessarily contain
no society column in the true sense.
New Zealand has no submerged
tenth, no help problem and no trusts
But there is the weather, and stomach
troubles are beginning to come in. SO
that conversation can be kept up, after
fashion.

think imperialIy, but the masses still

Chamberlain and cling superstitiousl,

The failure Of the Chicago bond
syndicate to pay for the half million
dollar bond issue is beginning to
cause much uneasiness in educa-
tlonal circles. Unless the semi-an-

is made within the next few days
some of the country schools will find
it almost impossible to open, as
many of them now have depleted
treasures. If the bonds are not
