The superstitions referring to par

that will occur TO every one:

For forty days 1t will remain
St Swithin's day. If thou be tair
For forty days twill rain nas fnair.
st. Swithin, bishop of Winchester, ac-
cording to the author Of "The Popular
Antiquities" was "a man equally not

far did he carry the latter virtue that
on his deathbed he requested to be
buried not within the church, but out
side the churchyard on the north Of the

receive the caycsdroppings from the

And Commission
Men--Held Meet
ing at Topeka.
ADOPTED TWO PLANS FOR USE
In Fight---Will Cure Meats.
Employ Agents and Sell
Cattle.

Topeka Kans., Oct. 2l.-Plans for
opposing the packing companies and
fruit commission dealers were dis.
cnssed at a meeting of the Farmers
National Cooperative Congress last
night. Two schemes to be used to
break the force of the packing trust,
so-called, were decided upon and prob.
ably will be put into execution. One
is that the members of the Congress
will try to cure the majority OF the
meat which they use themselves and
they will cure meats for markets. The
other plan will be TO have an agent
in each county who will handle all the
stock of the members and ship TO
another agent at the market who will
sell direct TO the packing houses.
No Intention Of Operating Packing
Plants.
There is no intention to build up
cooperative packing houses. Another
grievance the farmers have is again .
the fruit commission dealers, and an
effort will be made to organize a union
in fruit growing sections.
Favored Government Ownership of
Railroads.
Today's session was devoted to a
general discussion of the cooperative
plans and much sentiment was mani
tested in favor Of government owner
ship of the railroads. resolution
urging Congress to take steps to
have the states as we'll as the nation
adopt more stringent pure food laws
was passed. A committee to deal with
this subject was named and includes
O. P, Pyle of Texas, and J. II. Bar
rup of New Mexico.
A committee was appointed this af
ternoon for the purpose of formulating
uniform system of organization of
the cooperative bodies. No merging
of cooperative societies is contemplat
ed, but it is proposed to have all
cooperative societies work nneer the
guidance of a strong central organiza.

the Hebrews.
New York, Oct. 24.--"President
Roosevelt's proposed appointment of
Straus to a place in his cabinet is
most gratifying" said Jacob H. Schiff
today. II take 1t that the Straus' ap.

shows the desire on the part of the
President to recognize the good citi.

TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and Limbs-An Old Soldier Declares:
 "Cuticura Is Q Blessing"

"At all times and to all people I am willing to testify to the merits of Gu ticura. It saved me from worse than the torture of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and aft erwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs. 1 then went to a Surgeon, whose treat ment did me no good, but rather aggra- vated the disease. 1 then told him would go and see a physician in Erie. The reply was that 1 could go anywhere, but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured that 1 was too old (SO). l went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had read of the Cuticura Remedies, and so 1 sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and con- tinued taking the Resolvent until I had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. l was now getting better. 1 took two baths day, and at night I let the father of the Soap dry on. I used the Ointment with great effect after wa-hng in warm water, to stop the itching at once. l am now cured. The Cuticura treatment is a blessing, and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. 1 can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such a curative. Wm. H.
