If your boy leaves the table in a

get back to the school yard, don't get
the mistaken idea that he is rushing
to get back to his dear books.
1t isn't sign that he's getting the
studious fever; it's just a sign that in
these snowy times he wants to avoid

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed


Without Use of Injurious Drugs.
Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
.of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DR.. Decatur ID.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of
Chicago.
DR. Dennis, in his own office prac-
ttce, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
sure specific for eczema, psoriasis,
BARRIERS itch, salt rheum, and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
wintergreen alone was found ineffec-
tive. 1t required other mild ingredi-
ents such as glycerine and thymof
compounded with the wintergreen, to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compound D. D. D. prescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch at
once-the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs so long used
in an attempt to doctor the blood,
whereas modern science has deter
mined that eczema is first and all the
time skin disease.

merits of d. d. d. Prescription, call

LOST ALL IN BLIZZARD.
Jordan Family Renews Old Acquaint
ances in Norfolk,


Memories of the fierce blizzard that
brought death and disaster to north
west prairies on January IL, 1888,
were awakened Sunday at the home
of August Raasch, where Mr.. Raasch
had as his guests Jarvis and Gerome
Jordan, whom he had not seen for
twenty years.
The Jordan brothers lived near Nor
folk then. They lost virtually all that
they had in the big blizzard. Over
ninety head of cattle that they owned
died in the storm. They left Norfolk
after the blizzard.
The Jordans now live two miles from
Wakefield. Business brought them to
Norfolk and they took occasion to
drive out to the Raasch home to bridge
over the score of years that had inter.
Yened.
The friendship of twenty years ago
was renewed and stories of the great
storm recalled.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. Ex-senator
Burnham today introduced a measure
providing for parcels post service on
the rural free delivery routes of the
postoflce department.
1t was stated that the measure as
today introduced has the approval of
both President Roosevelt and Post
master General Meyer.
The provisions of the bill, however,
are not SO liberal as had been wished
by the promoters of the parcels post
Agitation leading up to todays bill
began last summer when the postmas-
ter general made 1t known that he
would favor the establishing of a par
cells post service In the United States,
increasing the quantity of matter
which could be transported in the
mails to eleven pounds at u low rate.
Opposition instantly sprang up from
the country merchants, who claimed
that such a measure would wipe out
the small villages altogether. Many
farmers are against such system,
believing that any measure which
causes one department of the govern
ment to operate at loss, is wrong in
theory

A Disease Which Is Apt to Appear In
the Herd in the Spring.

1t usually happens in the spring that
there is great deal of complaint frol,l
this trouble. The disease is one that
is quite common in almost every sec
ton OF the country and while it has
been noticed that it is more preva-
lent some seasons than others, we feel
Justified in quoting from Mr.. S. NJ
Shepard in his excellent book. "The
Hog in America on account of the
number of letters we have recently re-
ceived asking for information abous
this disease. Mr.. Shepard thinks it
is usually the result of unhealthful
milk from the SOW or from poison on
her teats obtained by contact with poi
soncXa vines or wet grass. He says:
The irst symptoms are Jumps on the
sows' udder, and sometimes sores:
next will be noticed blisters on the
lip, tongue ~ mouth of the pig; the
tongue and bs become swollen and
the roof and the sides of the mouth
inflamed and covered with deep red or
white blister spots Swab the pigs
mouth out thoroughly with solution
of carbolic acid and water sufficient
ly strong to make the flesh upon the
arm tingle. Apply with rag or small
piece of sponge tied on stick Strong
sage tea applied in the same way is
good and in addition blow powdered
sulphur through a straw into the
pigs mouth. Battle the sow's teats
and udder with a weak solution of
carbolic acid, and keep afflicted lit
tiers away from other pigs"

SLEEVES SAVE THE GOWN.
Change In Style Frequently Makes En-.
tireIy Original Model.

Much of the trouble in making a
gown look well lies in the sleeves.
Often one can change dress, which
is old style or which one thinks not
becoming, into an entirely different
style of dress by remodeling or putting
in entirely new sleeves. Luckily for
those who have to wear their evening
frocks two seasons. the sleeves can be
taken out and new ones put in. which
do not have to match the rest Of the
gown except for color. The sleeve can
be literally made of nothing: 1t is not
necessary in the least that 1t be like
the frock; 1t can be different. SO long
as 1t is more or less the same color as
the trimmings Of the gown.
A net, wolfe. silk, or cashmere dress
can be remodeled with sleeve made
entirely of lace and chiffon. The
foundation is cut smaller than the
usual dress sleeve at the top and this
upper portion is covered with eight
rows Of lace. about three-quarters or
an inch wide and the rows sewed
close on top of each ether, the edging
Of one just covering the top edge of
the row below it. The lower part Of
lhe sleeve is full circular piece which
is made of chiffon and is trimmed with
successive rows of the lace. The lace
in this case should be sewed on an
inch or an inch and a half apart.

EXPOSURE OF COWS.
Dairy Animals Need More Protection
Than Beef Animals.

Dairy COWS will not stand the ex-
posture that beef cows will stand.
This is one of the arguments put
forth by some of the advocates of
the use of beef cows for the produc-
ton of milk We have to acknowl-
edge it's force. If COWS are to be left
to hustle around wintry strawstacks
perhaps it is better to keep beef cows
than any other. This can be said
for them, that the fat that is laid up
from high feeding is distributed
through their flesh and forms also
layer under the skin, which serves as
Il non-conductor of heat. This prevents
the escape OF the heat from the body
and gives the COWS a certain amount
of protection when they are exposed.
The COW of a dairy breed makes all
this fat up into milk and does not
have it to use as wadding under her
skin. The cold air strikes her skin
and she shivers. Therefore the dairy
COW must not be exposed to the cold
rains of fall and spring or to the cold
winds of winter. A Holstein, Guern-
sey, Jersey. or Ayrshire COW of pure
breeding must be given fair
amount of protection in winter,
though not so much as was once
thought to be necessary.
Some years ago one of the prom
inent dairymen living in northern H.
lnois came out with a theory which
he promulgated that the dairy COW
needed no protection in winter. He
had made an experiment and found
that when his COWS were allowed to
fight their way through snow drifts
and suffer other hardships they did
as well as at any other time. He
preached his theory quite vigorously,
but did not obtain many followers.
His experiments may have been made
with cows that belonged to the beef
breeds or that We're grades having in
them a large per cent. of beef blood.
If there is one thing that seems to
have been fairly well demonstrated by
n large number of experiments, says
Farmers Review. it is that exposure
of cows belonging to the dairy breeds
lessons the milk supply and the fat
supply. In Holland and some other
countries the cows are frequently
blanketed in cold days in spring and
fall and are warmly housed in winter
Protection is given them against cold
and wet, and it is Il generally accepted
tenet that exposure reduces profits.
In winter it may be that some of the
protection given such cows is eX'
cessive, but we cannot afford to &C
far in the opposite direction.

Old horses with poor teeth need

It's good plan to have a veteri-
marian inspect the teeth before winter

THE GOAT IN AGRICULTURE.
No Better Helper Can Be Found to

The owner Of badly brier infested

an expensive and disagreeable task, If

Many millions of dollars have been en-
pended in this country in that kind
of work, and many millions more will

nothing and will pay for the privilege.

through this agency. He estimates
that the goat has increased the value
of this land at least ten dollars an
acre. and while the animal has been
making the owner money in that di-
rection it has been contributing to his
