1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness

by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can

can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The

pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly ION the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the

HIS AUNT
HANNAH
By C.. b. LEWIS
By c. B. LEWIS
Copyright, 1905, bp e. C. Parcels

Aunt Hannah Burt was rich, and she
was also called eccentric. She was so
called perhaps because she had never
married and permitted her husband to
squander the fortune that came to her
Srom her father. There was nothing
afctc.lt".c about her adopting Ray
wheeler when he was fifteen years
old. because he was one of her nepb-
2ws.
Vt tie age of nineteen be entered
gollr T. and three years later he grad
sateJ =; Il lawyer He was taking a
est ana looking around previous to
setting up for himself when Aunt
Hannah discovered something that
made her shiver in horror. She had
heard no complaints of the young
mans conduct while he was at col
lege. and 10 policeman had ever ap-
peared at the house to warn her that
Ray was who0ping it up when away
from her motherly influence.
The young man had caller one
evening in the person Of an old class
mate. They smoked and talked They
talked about straight jabs, upper cuts,
right hand swings and other things be-
longing to the Greek language. The
door of the room was open, and Aunt
Hannah heard them. Later they as
frended to the garnet. She crept part
way up the narrow stairs and saw and
heard. She saw them don boxing
gloves and punch each other around
the big room in fiercest fashion and
also make use of terms she had never
heard before. not even in connection
with state prisons and ward caucuses.
When the visitor had departed Ray

of Aunt Hannah, who began:

Professional Women Thieves.

The ingenuity displayed by profess
sional women thieves in concealin@
stolen jewels on their persons makes
it Imperative that the women searchers
employed in police stations be alert and
Intelligent. An important duty of a
searcher Is to examine the mouth of a
prisoner. The other day, after this had
been done and the thief even made to
raise her tongue. valuable ring was
seen to drop from her lips while she
was asleep. Women who wear pom
padours frequently use them as hiding
places for jewelry, while the lining of
jackets and shoes is popular place
for cOncealment. Needless to say. the
position of searcher is not an altogether
agreeable one, and perhaps the duty
she dislikes most, owing to It's mo-
notony, is that of sitting up with pris-
Oners whom it is deemed expedient to
watch. Women prisoners when once in
side the station are said to be rarely
violent. For instance, the genuine pro-
fessional pickpocket seldom gives the
slightest trouble. She knows she is
caught and makes the best of q bad
job. But" observed one searcher, "a
drop Of drink do change some Of 'ern

She gets up and walks to the door and

Dairy Talk of Today

No matter how square the dealer
may be, he is but human, and the
buyer will find it dollars in his pocket
to be good judge of cows Veteran
dealers are past masters in the art of
making the cow put her best foot for
ward SO to speak.
Beware the Gentle Bull
This is poor time Of year for flu
nerals. Better not leave the care Of
the bull to grandpa and the kids
BY the Common Sense Route.
Ii the average farmer is to become
good dairyman he must learn the bust
ness by degrees. Let him take the
common cows he has on his farm, and
by careful breeding and selecting let
him build his herd and his knowledge
of the business up to point where he
can make a success Of real dairying,
says AhmbalPs Dairy Farmer.
Nothing Beats Cow Keeping.
For the young and energetic man
who wants to start out right, make
money. keep up the fertility of his
farm and win a reputation as sue
cessful farmer there is nothing that
beats COW keeping
Not an Easy Job,
Now, gloss it over as slick writer's
and persuasive takers may, the fact
remains that dairying is not business
of moderate demands. To succeed at
it, even with the very best Of special
tools and the most refined brand Of
dairy knowledge, requires that a man
shall put vast amount Of his life, his
energy and his individuality into it,

Two Pounds of Honest Butter.
Let me say as emphatically as posi-
BILE, any cow that in her prime will
make two pounds Of honest butter a
day for thirty days is a good COW, and
Jersey that will not make ten pounds
week or give over ten quarts of milk
day with her second calf at three
years old is not worth keeping, says
writer In American Agriculturist And
do not forget that fawn colors or solid
c0lOrs, with black tongue and switch,
do not make Jersey pure bred, nor
does COW with white-and lots Of it,
too-sometimes make cow a grade.
Vital Question.
With the advent of creameries, skim
ming stations and hand separators the
question Of successful and economically
raising Of calves en- skim milk Is ona1
OF growing Importance and vital con-
Germ to every creamery patron and
