Life Saved by Cutlcura.

Il have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off. At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee, my foot was like piece of raw
flesh, and had to walk on crutches.

ONE HUNDRED COWS
And the Dimensions of the SiIo Neces-
sary to Supply Them with Food.

A silo to feed hundred cows should
be 26 feet in diameter and 81 feet
deep. Two such silos will easily keep
200 cows and the calves in silage by
the year. In the larger silos the loss
is less from outside waste and there
is only one top layer to be thrown into
the manure pile. A 50-cow silo should
be 20 feet in diameter and 30 feet
deep. Two of this medium size are
often better for the 100-cow dairy than
having all the feed put into large
silo, for while there is the loss from
the greater surface, there are often
times when the crops are not large
enough to completely fill large silo,
that makes 1t worth while to have a
smaller one. TO make good silage the
mass must I've great enough to give
depth to produce pressure and raise
the heat and to exclude the air.

mings. But the girls carriage coat is
rarely so loose or so long as is that worn
by a matron, for if she has not an I'M
limited wardrobe she uses such q wrap
for variety of occasions.
The Omnipresent Waistcoat.
Even in motor coats the fashionable
waistcoat has gained a foothold.. This.
of course, applies only to the garments
of the semi-dressy order. such as are seen
at race meets. open-aiI horse shows and
polo matches, whittier the fashionable
world goes in automobiles. AS the women
in the gay throng move about constantly
between the parking spaces. the grand
stand and the tea pavilion, they are nat
urally careful to wear an outer garment
that it shall rather emphasize than con-
ceal the beauty of the gown worn be-
meath it. Such wraps are rarely Of full
length and they are usually on empire

of the vest is repeated in the rolling col
lar, turn-back cuffs. military chenille trim

Checked Coats Smart.
Checked motor coats have ever been a
fad of those women who go in strongly
for mannish effects in tailored garments.
Those coats designed especially for sum-
mer use are In variety of fabrics, such
as the rubberized. mercerized cottons. In

such as red, blue or green, used in lieu
of che black. OF the same class are the
rubberized silks. in black, brown. Ozark

coats are invariably made to as closely
as possible resemble the masculine effects
in that they are double breasted. clos

Sleeves and Trimmings.
It is a fact worthy Of note that the
best class of motor coats follow certain
hard-and-fast rules of design. When OF
the mannish cut trimmings are of the
simplest, but whenever one of them
shows a radical departure in the shape
of sleeves and their treatment rather
elaborate trimmings and widely contrast
ing tints appear elsewhere on the coat.
The semi-tailored checked garments show
this feature to marked extent. Some
of those having the sleeves whose uppers
are cut in one, with the body and the
under portion fitting smoothly into the
lower part of the japanese arm-siZe. are
most deliberately decorated with broad
bias bands of black satin Hercules or
fancy silk braids, pipings or Van Dykes
