When ready to go out, wet the hands
well with vinegar. Let 1t dry on, and

DOUBT FACTS OF HISTORY.


Persons So Fond of Miraculous That
Questions Are Easily Raised.
The love of the miraculous Is enough
to keep alive the belief that the ac-
cepted facts of history concerning a
person who has greatly interested the
world either by his life or his death
are all wrong, says the Boston Trans
cript. Within twenty years big book
has been published in this country to
shot in the garden of the Luxembourg,
Dec. 7, 1915, but escaped to America
and dwelt In North Carolina.
For some years there fiourished in
Germany man who declared himself
to be the son of the duke of Reichstadt
by secret marriage and therefore the
grandson and direct heir Of Napoleon.
This imposter was clumsy fellow who
did not know his book, for the date he
assigned as that Of his birth was fully
year subsequent to the death Of the
duke.
But we need not travel so far as Eu-
rope to find the credulous Of the incred-
ible. Only few years ago there died
In Kansas a man who was believed by
many of the vicinity to be Wilkes
Booth. A marked physical resemblance
to the assassin caused so much annoy
ance to well-known clergyman that
he took pains to demonstrate by proofs
Of his birth and education that he was
not Wilkes Booth.
The fact that Mrs. Fitzherbert made
solemn declaration that she never
! was a mother does not deter the "Fitz-
herbert heirs in this country from
bothering King Edward with letters
applying for permission to examine GER
tain papers which they believe contain
secret of vast money value to them.
The people who believe these incredi-
BILE legends in the face of proof posi-.
tive to the contrary, are not all Of one
kind, nor of the class of the English
man who said of the Tichborne claim
ant: Just because he was the son of
a Wrapping butcher they wouldn't give
him the estate"

Getting RIA of White Grub..

These suggestions regarding white
grubs were made by the Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station:
It is very difficult to do much in de-
stroying white grubs where they have
once gotten a good foothold. About
the only plan is to put out new patch
and pillow and cultivate thoroughly the
ground where the infested patch stands
These white grubs are the larvae of a
group of beetles known as May beetles
or June bugs. They feed for three
years as white grubs before changing
to adults. so that you will find various
sizes Of these grubs at the same time
In your patch. Some Of these will ma
ture one year, some the following year,
and so on. Cultivation Is about the
only rsknedy for these grubs.

Agriculture's Amazing Growth.
How can any country be hard up
whose farms in the last nine years
have produced fifty-three thousand mil
lions of dollars worth of cropsf
No wonder that the report OF the
Secretary of Agriculture Is full OF
thanksgiving flavor and that he Is IN
affected by causes for gloom that work
on other men. The value of the farm
products for 1907 Is nearly seven and
one-half billions Of dollars; 10 per
cent above that Of 1906, when all rec
ords Of crops were broken; 25 per cent
over 1908, and 81 per cent over 1899.
More than 100000 acres Of land
that used to be considered valueless,
"the home Of the cactus and the prai-
RE dog" are now producing $30,OOO,-
600 worth of crops every year; and
these crops are directly due to Sec
rotary Wilson, who imported the Med
iterranean durum wheats at a first
cost Of $4,000 and saw that they were
planted there. Irrigation farming, due
wholly to the department, will this year
sell crops for not less than $25O,OO0.-
600, which is not contemplate, in view
of the fact that the Department OF Ag-
riculture costs only about $15,0OO,OOO
year.
Yet the work Of the department Is by
no means on such q scale as the nat
ural resources Of the country warrant
and will one day make possible. Sur
veyors declare that not one-half the
farms of the country-420, 900, OOO
acres, to be exact-can be classed as
improved land, and only one-third, OF
29O,OOO,OOO acres, Is fruitful. Many
years will pass before all this ground
is put under cultivation, but the time
will come when 1t will be producing
