INvALID's SAD PLIGHT.
After lnfammatory Rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores DeveIoped-only cutl-
cura Proved Successful.

About four years ago l had a very
severe attack of infammatory rheuma-
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out in punches. 1 also
had three large bed sores on my back.
did not gain very rapidly, and my
appetite was very poor. I tried many
sure cures but they were Of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re
solvent l had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon l felt
better. The bed sores went very soon
after a few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when I used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
it began to regain its former glossy ap-
pearance. Mrs. Lavina j. Henderson.

HER DESTINATION IN DOUBT.
LittI, Girls Remark Not complimen
tsry to Grandma.

Ethel is of the mature age Of FIVE.
Recently her grandmother concluded
that It degolved on her to instruct the
child in religious matters.
"You must be good girl, Ethel, 4"
she said Then you will go to heaven
when you die"
Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with
this reward for exceptional conduct.
Don't you want to go to heaven"
asked grandma, with a look of re-
proach
ooh, 1 don't know" temporized
Ethel. 81 guess not"
"Why not?" demanded grandma
severely.
Because maybe couldn't get out"
answered Ethel.
you wouldn't want to get out" re-
piled grandma
ooh, yes, I should" returned Ethel,
with conviction.
''No," argued grandma, you would
not. Why should you want to get out
Of heayen?"
why" answered Ethel, 81 guess I'd
want to go and see you once in a
while, wouldn't I?"--Woman's Home

you CAN HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Black Loan Soil Not a Bar TO Hard
Roads, says H. n. Gross.

1t is often urged that hard roads
N the corn belt of the Mississippi val
icy are impracticable. first, for the
reason that stone or gravel roads can
cot be built on the heavy black loan
soil of that section, and, second. be-
cause there is no road material at
hand for this purpose.
The fact is there are no difficulties
there that cannot be overcome. Only
one precaution is necessary, and that
Is thorough drainage See that the
road is thoroughly drained, which may
be done either by side-ditching or by
thing sub-surface drains, and the task
will be an easy one The layer Of
road material serves as a roof over
the road to keep it dry.
AS to road material. though there
are no deposits of stone or gravel in
the corn belt, the land in that section
is exceedingly fertile and produces
large revenues, and its owners are
better able to pay road taxes than the
farmers in other parts where the road
material is at hand and the soil less
fertile. Furthermore, the railroads
are interested in the betterment of the
highways and will carry road mate
rial southwark into the corn belt at
the cost of the service or less. The
southern part of the state furnishes
the northern part with coal-the coal
cars go back empty-why not fill them
with stone or gravel?
The farmers of the corn belt have
still another advantage when it comes
to building hard roads. The land
is comparatively level, so no heavy
grading is necessary. 1t is true that
hard roads can be built in the Germ
belt with material shipped in for half
the cost of roads in Massachusetts,
where stone abounds, the difference
being that in Massachusetts the hills
must be cut down, the hollows filled.
and the streams bridged.-H H. Gross,

HINTS TO HELP.

Stop the danger of runaway by get
ting new harnesses or having the old
ones nicely fixed up.
There are some people so honest
that they never deviate from the truth,
except when the tax assessor calls.
If weeds begin TO show themselves
in the corn field before the hills show,
a weeder will help to subdue them
and bring the corn up faster, too.
Begin the season right by cutting on
the top of every weed that shows it,
self. At the same time. root out every
unkind word that comes to your lips.
1t costs % cents 10 raise bushel
of potatoes, and they seldom sell for
less than so cents. Doubling ones
money is considered pretty profitable
business.
When the mows are emptied. sweep
them thoroughly and let in all the air
and sunlight possible. We have seen
barns with ten.year-old Justified cob
webs hanging from ridgepole and
cross-beam.
When things go wrong on the
farm, just think that it might be
worse. Hurry around and make the
wrong thing right, and lie down to
rest at night feeling that every day
is a good day. no matter what hap
pens in it.

SOME FARMS TOO LARGE.
Farmers Make Mistake by Trying
to Handle Too Much Acreage.

The story is going the rounds Of the
press of a man that had a 1,200-acre
farm and had three daughters. As
each got married he gave her a quar-
ter of the farm, or 300 acres. and
put all his stock and all his energies
on the remainder. To his surprise he
found that he made just as much
money on the smaller portion as on
the larger portion. When he had but
800 acres left he found his profits IS
large as they had been on the 1900
acres. and he was being worried a
great deal less.
There are many farms that are too
large. They are too costly TO keep
up, and their owners cannot manage
to advantage. The larger the farm
the more skillful must the manage
ment be, for the greater will be the
proportion Of work that must be done
by others than by the owner. This
is the point at which the big farm
is put to a disadvantage. A hired
worker can never do the work that
the owner can, for he lacks interest.
There are great many large farms.
says the Farmers Review, that would
be more valuable to the community
if they were broken up into several
farms and were sold to different farm
ers that would live on them and be
contented with owning one farm and
no more. Intensive agriculture must
come more and more into vogue with
the increase of population. but this
should be under individual owners.
rather than under a system Of land
lordism in which the owners ore resid-
ing in the cities and working eE- land
by proxies.

oored through the post, a bolt drawn
through and the sides drawn tightly
together. This post will then last as

Once there was struggling young
author who was blest with many
friends. all Of whom told him that he
was the coming great writer Of the
country.
So one day bright thought struck
him. He said:
Il will publish my book, and all my
friends who admire 1t so much will buy
my book, and l viii be rich"
So he printed his book.
And all of his friends waited for
him to send them autographed copies
Of his book.
And so his books were sold as Junk.
And ever after he didn't have any
friends.-Success.
