DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA
Could Lay SIate-PenclI In One-Hands
In Dreadful State-Permanent
Cure In Cutjcura

II had eczema on my hands for
about seven years and during that
time had used several so-called rem
edies. together with physicians and
druggists prescriptions. The disease
was SO bad on my hands that could
lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks
and rule placed across the hand
would not touch the pencil. 1 kept
using remedy after remedy, and while
some gave partial relief, none relieved
as much as did the first box of Cuti-
cura Ointment. l made a purchase of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my
hands were perfectly cured after two
boxes Of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of Cuticura Soap were used. w.

HAPPY OLD AGE
Mos. Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

AS cid age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found IN Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
In the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the bran-coat of the wheat, are in
cluded in Grape-Nuts, but left out of
white flour. They are necessary to
the building of brain and nerve cells.
Il have used Grape-Nuts," writes an
Iowa man. ''for s years and feel as good
and am stronger than was ten years
ago. / am over IA years old, and at
tend to my business every day.
Among my customers / meet a man
every day who is 80 years old and at
tributes his good health to the use of
Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has
used for the last years. He mixes
Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they
go fine together.
For many years before 1 began to
eat Grape-Nuts, / could not say that

as several persons have undoubtedly
been exposed it is considered advisa-

the further spread of the disease. We
understand that all persons who have
been in close contact with Monson
will be quarantined in the hotel and
guards provided, as well as regular at
tendants for the patient who is now

GOVERNMENT SEEDS
POULTRY RAiSERS
D-E-E-LlGHTED, SAYS WASH
iNGTON ADWcES

Washington, Jan. 7-American poul-
try raisers doubtless will be dee
lighted to learn that the USUAL amount
of government free seeds will be
forthcoming little late. perhaps,
but still in time toEbe of use. When,
last fall, the seed warehouse of the
department Of agriculture was visited
by a fire which destroyed some $50 900
worth of the seeds which had been
purchased and packeted for congress
sional distribution, the farmers re-
gretfully and even tearfully put aside
the thought of producing extra fine
poultry for the holiday trdde and took
other steps to secure suitable fatten-
ing food for the Thanksgiving and
Christmas birds, for they realized
that $4,000 worth of chicken feed
makes big pile. However, the Am
erican public can look forward to
frolicsome feasts on fat spring chic
ken, for, thanks to the foresight of
Secretary Wilson and his lieutenants,
no sooner had the clang of the fire
bells died out than provisional pur-
chase was made of seeds to replace
those destroyed, and these were de-
livered in Washington and held SUBJ
ject to the action of the sixtieth con-
gress on the departments request for
an emergency appropriation to refill
the bins OF the restored seedhouse.
The measure. as everyone knows,
went through, and this week it de-
veloped that the department is about
ready to inaugurate its annual dis.
tribution OF the seeds. as result OF
congressional suggestion.

PENSION PROPOSED
FOR EX-PRESIDENTS
GROVER cLEvELAND,s APPEAL
MEETS WITH GENERAL AP-
PRovAL

Washington, d. c., Jan. THE sur-
gestion made by ex-President Grover
Cleveland that the United States find
some method of taking care Of It's
presidents after they leave the execu-
tive office which will enable them to
maintain the standard Of living ex-
pected of them, has met with more
or less general approval Mr.. Cleye-
land last week called attention to the
fact that few of the twenty-four men.
who have been honored by their coun-S
trynen with the office of president.
have enjoyed sufficient income DUR
ing the remainder Of their lives to
enable them to maintain the social
standing expected of them He point
ed out that very few fields of in dus-
try are open to the man who has once
served the nation as its chief execu-
tive, and that still fewer will insure
an income sufficient for him to con-
tinue to live on the same social scale
as when he presided at the White
House. The American people, he de-
clared, thoughtlessly have demanded
that their former presidents shall
seek and follow a high calling upon
retiring, whether or not they possess
the means to do so. Awakened to the
truth of this, it is extremely probable
that congress will vote substantial
pension to the men who for four years
or more have steered the good ship
of state. Several senators and con-
gressmen already have expressed
themselves as being in sympathy with
such course. Incidentally, some To-
cal statistician has dug up figures
which show that the average life of
ex-presidents, after retirement, has
been IL years and ten months.

There is but one way of impartiag
knowledge to another, that is to Gre
ate desire for the information.
Nothing brings forth the realization
Of ones ignorance of subject so
distinctly as being asked question.
No one will put forth the effort to
think for himself original thought so
strongly as his effort ito answer a
question which will disclose his good
sense and knowledge or ignorance of
the subject In framing mis-, answer he
goes through his book of memory,
bringing forth as evidence all the life
long impressions stored there on
which he bases his decision. The
glazing errors he may admit TO his
hearers will never be forgotten. Thus
the author of these notes intends by
his questions and answers to cause
those readers interested in horticul-
ture to think, reason and decide for
themselves.
The answers to these questions are
not absolute They are the fruit of
a love, for the work and life's study,
thought, investigation and experience.
Horticulture is invading section of
our countryalmost devoid of trees.
There must be some conditions Claws
of nature) in this dry, cold and hot
climate which are against the natural
growth of trees or this would be a
wilderness. Our great coal fields
us that ages ago vast forests abound
ed. But for the great fires that have
swept our plains for ages, our prair-
les would now be covered with tim
Der. This fundamental cause of the
failure of trees to live is thing of
the past. Civilization has invaded
our country. The settlers homes are
scattered all over our state. Those
great, destructive fires are a thing of
the past. We can now grow fruit
and forest trees everywhere to our

thieves, the weeds of North Dakota.
Today the weeds that grow SO lux
uriously among our trees, so long as
there is an atom Of moisture IN our
soil, is the fundamental cause Of our
failure to successfully grow trees and
fruit. II we never will let them grow
larger than a houses ear. we soon will
be exporting as large and fine favored
fruits as are grown anywhere in the
world. We have the soil, the bright
sunshine, the pure dry atmosphere SO
essential for the leaves (lungs) Of

Color Blindness.

There are three distinct kinds Of
color blindness or three colors which
those with affected eyesight cannot
see. These are red. green and violet.
Red or green blindness is considered q
serious defect. Children should have
proper training in color study. All
OF the colors should be kept before the
eyes OF the pupils in the kindergarten
and up until the nerves of the eyes are
trained to distinguish to the slightest
shade any shade Of difference in color.
