scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-Suf.
fered 10 Years Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

Small sores appeared on each Of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that / could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that l would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After suffered
thus about ten years l made a renewed
effort to effect cure. Tho eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and l was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else. / thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes l was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least $50 or $50 in vain
ly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

Latest Kansas Events.
Agricultural College Extension.

4
While the Kansas State Agricultur-
al college has been making remark
| able advances in the last ten years
in all its usual departments, probably
the most interesting movement to the
general public is its extension work
the education of old and young in their
own homes. Although 1000 people
attended its regular sessions at Man
haitian, nearly $4,000 others have been
in rather close personal touch with
the college workers the past year.
For nearly 40 years the college has
been holding farmers institutes in
Kansas but sending its speakers only
on invitation. Two years ago the re-
gents began the experiment of organ
izing all the counties of the state
and holding meetings in every county
seat and also in many towns Since
October 1906 80 of the los coun-
ties have had farmers institutes or
ganized, most of them with an active
membership, constitution and bylaws,
officers and fees and have held one
or more meetings. These offices are
in sense the direct representatives
of the college in their counties. For
tunately these first officers have been
splendid representatives and have al
ready begun to exercise a good in
-fluence for improved agriculture be-
ing the spokesman of the college for
much demonstration work with crops
Ifr-D
general awakening on certain agricul-
tural lines brought about the rail
road agricultural meetings, Corn"
Wheat" and Alfalfa" trains, etc,
enabling the college to bring certain
questions to thousands of farmers in
short time and at the right time. AL
tobether the Kansas Agricultural col
lege men have spoken since October
1906 an corn" and wheat in insti-
tutes or from train to the farmers
of 1O2 counties of Kansas, missing on
ly the counties of Finney, Kearney
and Cheyenne. They have spoken to
nearly, if not quite, 100000 peo-
pie, not counting children The board
of regents have also been interested
in reaching the young people. Last
year boys corn growing contest was
authorized and nearly 5000 boys
were enlisted in this movement Con-
tests were held in 40 counties and an
aggregate of nearly 100000 in prizes
were distributed. Then the winners in
the county contests are eligible to en-
ter the state contest at the agricul-
tural college in December. This year
So counties have boys corn contests
with about 5000 boys and 80 of these
counties will send their prize winners
to the State Farmers Institute De
cember 26th for nine-day session.

aumanlna Birds in England.

Considerable interest is excited by
the humming birds now on view at
the geological garlens. Fifty-three of
these tiny, fragile birds were taken
on board from Venezuela; many died
on the voyage, but the fittest sur
vived. and 20 reached Regents park
alive. At the time of writing IL are
shown in two large glass cages fur
nished with Towering plants, and
placed in the insect-house, which can
be kept at high temperature. Moths
in cage near look bigger than these
small birds. 1t is to be hoped that
these dainty feathered gems may take
kindly to their new surroundings, and
live long to delight the eyes of many
dwellers in smoky London.-West-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

hibition is given for the benefit of
the Firemen's organization of this

The intelligence manifested by

to those who first observe what
these trained animals will do, under
the management. These ponies
can count, add, subtract and multi
ply. They go through varied evolu-

show should be we'll patronized.
