paid for them. The enumerators will even
want TO know the number, weight, and
value OF all feeces of wool sold in 1909.
The government never has been able to
obtain an accurate statement Of dairy pro-
ducts. 1t seems that the great majority of
farmers, to whom the dairy is a compare
lively unlmportant feature OF the farm,
keep absolutely no account of the guam.
titles OF butter and milk produced or of
the quantities consumed at home. So it is
especially desirable, the director of the
census says, that there should be some
bookkeeping on dairy. products. The
enumerators when they show up will want
to know in a hurry the number, OF gallons
OF milk produced in 1909, gallons sold,
amount received from sales; the number of
pounds of butter produced, the value of
the product, pounds sold, and the amount
received from sales; the same information
with reference to cream will be demanded.
AS to poultry, the enumerator will insist
ON knowing the value of all poultry raised
during the year. the amount received from
the |, sales Of poultry, dozens Of eggs pro
ceved from sales of eggs. If a farmer hap
pens to be a bee keeper the enumeration
will want to know the number of pounds
of honey produced during 1909 and its
value.
The information with reference to live
STOCK which the government VIII insist on
having can hardly be supplied, it is pointed
out, unless farmers can be persuaded to
put their thinking caps'' on Immediately,
and start their bookkeeping The infor-
nation called for includes statement of
the number of calves, lambs, colts, mule
colts and pigs brought forth on the farm
during 1909 Every farmer will also be
expected to tell the enumerator how many
cows were regularly MIXED for more than
three months during 1909 In addition to
the detailed special information which the !,
farmer must be prepared to furnish, he
must supply the enumerator with the
amount of his mortgage Indebtedness, the |
number of acres Of irrigated land and the /
method of irrigation; and the number Of
acres of land leased to other farmers. 1t
will thus be seen that there is fine OPP I
portunity for the farmers of the land to
get some experience in bookkeeping if they
are to be prepared to supply the govern /
ment with accurate information.

WHY SALvES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog the Pores-Only a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old.fashioned theory of curing
eczema through the blood has been given
up by scientists. many different salves have
been tried for skin diseases. But 1T has
been found that these salves only clog the
pores and cannot penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the eczema
germs are lodged.
This-the quality of penetrating-pr
ably explains the tremendous success OF
the only standard liquid eczema cure, oil

The Servant in the House.

A remarkable play produced by an un1
usually well balanced company was OF
fered in the auditorium last Friday even
ing to discouragingly small audience
The attraction was Charles Ram Ken
uedv's The Servant in the House and the
company is known as Henry Millers AS
sociate Players.
Though running through five acts the
scene of the story does not change and all
the events are supposed to take place IN
one morning. The piece is satire on the
sham and hypocrisy that exist among
clergymen, bringing out in contrast the
fact that beauty, truth and bravery do
not necessarily mean fair features, smooth
words and show of struggle. Rev. VIII
liam Smythe, a country vicar, is planning
to entertain a long lost brother In the
person of the famous bishop OF Benares,
India. who makes his appearance disguised
as an Indian servant, meets mercenary
bishop of Lancaster and listens to his
SCREENINGS, discovers the third brother, a
drain cleaner, whose child the vicar has
brought up in ignorance of her parentage,
and eventually effects reconciliation OF
all concerned with the exception of the
wears wife's brother, the bishop of Ian.
caster, who apparently is beyond hope OF
redemption.
The most striking part was that Of the
dram man ana IL was portrayed duiHii
ably by Darrell Standing Physically well
cast, Mr.. Standing seemed wonderfully
conversant with the spirit of his role and
almost faultless in technique His mo-
tons, expressions and command of a cock
ney dialect We're unusually good. John S.
O'Brien as Manson, the butler and bishop
in disguise, played rather weird part
well. His voice had remarkable carry
ing quality and his information was good:

Try This In November.

Thousands upon thousands of fam.
flies who have not been regular eat
ers of Quaker Oats will begin on the
first OF November and eat Quaker
Oats once or twice every day for thirty
days of this month; the result in
good health and more strength and
vigor will mean that every other
month in the year will find them doing
the same thing.
Try it! Serve Quaker Oats plenti-
fully and frequently for the thirty
days of November and leave off cor
responding amount of meat and greasy
foods. You'll get more health, more
vigor and strength than you ever got
in thirty days of any other kind Of
eating.
While you are trying this see that
the children get full share.
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and large size family
packages. z
