The men who are asking, "Af-
ter the dispenssry, what 2" and
then sitting down and lugubriously
answering their own question by
prophesies of barrooms, blind
tigers, ETC., remind one of the
young woman who was found sit
ting of In corner weeping copi>
ously and in great grief. One
who attempted to comfort her
asked the cause Of her great sor-
row, and received tho reply: "I
was just thinking that maybe
some day ] would get married,
and then l might have a baby and
the baby might die-and the
thought was so dreadful that !
just could not help crying" Dry
your tears, yo who weep over
imagined ills. The dreadful
things you conjurs up in your
minds may never happen. s.Suf-
ficient unto the day is the evil
thereof. "

DiI ector Bauer Tells of Condition
of Cotton IN South Car olina.

Colunbis, July 25. Following
is the weather crop repo for the
past week as complied by Section
Director Bauer: Cotton continued
to make rapid gro With generally
and has TOO large weed and too
little fruit over the greater por-
ton, while a number of reports
indicetc that growth has stopped
and that the plants are blooming
to the top. There are fewer re-
ports Of damage from insects, and
more of rest and spreaeing and of
plants turning yellow. Cotton is
beginning to open in lower Barn
we'll county. There is great
Improvement in both old and late
corn, although the former is too
near ripe to be greatly benefited
by the recent rains.

For Scientists to Learn.


The world has good deal to learn yet
about electricity. In fact, even scientists
really know nothing yet Of the ether or es-
sence itself, but are only acquainted with
some of Its effects. Their efforts are mainly
devoted to discovering new ways of de-
veloping it and to better methods of har-
Messing it for human use. They have ac-
complished wonders IN this line, and their
inventions and applications of the power
have wrought greater Transformation in the
word than the genie of Aladdins lamp
ever dreamed of. But some of them think
that only a beginning has been made of
such inventions, and another generation
will see even more remarkable develop
ments than this one has known. Possibly
they are right. At all events. they are
evidently still cropping in darkness. Look
at the varying results of the application of
electricity to the human system Men fall
dead every now and then through acct
dental contact with a Give" wire of small
voltage. At Sing Sing 1000 volts are con-
sidered more than sufficient to put a man
to death in the electric chair. And yet
other men have taken a much greater
amount of electricity into their bodies with
impunity. Lord Kelvin and Nfkola Tesla
have each taken over a million volts, and
now comes one Godinez, Brooklyn scien-
tst who asserts that he has discovered
a secret whereby his body is made a safe
conductor for 5000 600 volts. Yet even he
has not learned what electricity Is. Truly
there Is much yet to discover.

fear to use it because it has the reputation
of growing hair This danger can be avoided
| IL the skin food Is properly used. flrst,
| wash your face thoroughly, and dry it more
| than thoroughly. Leave not speek or
moisture upon it. Now apply the skin food
and massage we'll using upward and out
ward strokes. never downward Then wash
out the skin food with pure soap and water
and dry thoroughly. The reason a growth
of hair follows the use of skin food is that
the pores are damp and the oil sticks in the
pores The following is an excellent for
mula for skin food:
White wax / ounce: spermaceu, 1 ounce;

The suction cup is on sale at any first

rubber bulb. TO use this cup plant it firmly
on the face in the middle of the chin, press
the bulb, and the edges of the glass Will
attach themselves to the skin. Now work
the suction cup upward and outward, COW

ways clean the cup thoroughly after using.
A common cause of hollow, saggtng cheeks
tense to good looks can afford to have
one tooth missing from her mouth. Cos
metic dentistry has made 1t possible to
build up a new tooth on a mere fragment or
shell, and teeth are even planted in the
gums. Porcelain filings are now erred
to gold, which make the teeth look dark,
and porcelain false teeth are preferred to
the more conspicuous gold crowns Great
hollows in the jaws cause not only sagging
cheeks, but uncieanliness of the mouth, Of
fensive breath, indigestion and mainutri-
ton.
The girl who has a homely nose generally
thinks her case hopeless If the nose is
badly formed surgical operation Is some
times necessary, but these are defects that
can be remeded by patient efforts at home.
Many noses owe their unshapelinesS to too
vigorous use of a handkerchief This very
essential article of dress should be used
gently. It was not intended to wiring the
nose with, nor yet to rub the nose UP or
sidewise. One cause of the Dubious red
nose is the too strenuous use of the hand
kerChef, when it is twisted roughly around
the nostrils Sometimes nose becomes in
famed and swollen because the nasal pas
sages are not in q healthy condition. In
cases of chronic catarrh so simple treat
ment as shifting up tep,d salt water will not
only cure the catarrh, but reduce the swell

AS soon the nasal passages are cleared
and the nose is in healthy condition the
patient will stop breathing through the
mouth. Then by contracting the nostrils

Using Brains on the Farm.

The most productive farms of the country
are those of the northwest. This Is not be-
cause the natural conditions are more IA
vorable in that section than in others-the
south. for instance-but because the north
western farmer Is stickler for system in
his business. He does nothing by guesswork
He keeps books and takes a strict account
ing Of expenses and income. He knows
what 1t costs him to grow his crops, and
when he has marketed them he knows what
his profit or loss has been. He knows the
value of keeping up his machinery and his
stock and taking advantake OF newest
methods. He is a reader OF newspapers
and magazines and keeps abreast Of the
progress of the world. Year after year
brains with the Drawn and guano they put
on their fields with most satisfactory re-
suits.
