particular phase Of agriculture and
would serve as a medium through
witch the interest OF the people IN
dairyinB could be reached and aroused.
Notwithstanding the profits Of dairy
farming, he says that n has been and
is being neglected. He gives It as his
opinion that tuily seven-tenths or the
milk consumed in st. Louis comes
from Illinois when It might be pro
duced In Missouri. "The Ozark and
Current river country visited recently
by Gov. Hadley. the members OF the
Board Of immigration and the Water
ways commission. offers a great field
for dairying," the doctor added The
climatic conditions are highly favor
able for the reason that there are
eight or nine months OF open weather
throughout the year. Every variety
OF grass can be grown successfully and
St Louis affords a certain and con.
y%enient market for dairy products.
While that section has been exploited
much for fruit growing and II has
shown wonderful possibilities In that

Providence in vain for an heir. After
fifteen years of marriage she was child

the birth of my boy must have been as
bitter for her to write as for me to re-
ceive. Neither of us, though, need have
troubled ourselves. My boy was years

Tootb-Bru.he. for Cows.

A Los Angeles physician named Tan.
ner has been spending a lot of time
lately looking into the mouths Of cows
and he finds that they are full Of
germs. These germs, he says, contain
mate the cows milk, and are q con-
tributing cause of illness in children.
In an article In a London paper he
recommends that the teeth Of cows be
cleaned twice a day, and that a law
be passed making this compulsory.
Whether the cows should have a vote
on the proposed law, or whether they
should be subjected to publication
without representation, DR.. Tanner
does not say.
No doubt 1t would be a fine thing II
cows could be made to pay more at
tention to their personal habits. They
should be taught In early calfhood that
cleanliness is next to Goodness. We
wonder, however, whether compelling
the farmer to brush his cows teeth
twice a day will not have a bad effect
upon the bovine character. VIII not
the COW become pampered, demanding
finer tooth brushes and tastler powders
as time goes on? Will she stop at the
brushing of teeth, or go further and
insist upon shampooing and manicur-
ing? We are opposed to any law that
will change the Iiberty-loving. indie

making four piles-best white in one,
second best white in the second, COM

half pals of hot water from the boiler
and then enough cold water to cover.
Turn the washer wheel from fifty to
a hundred times. Wiring out the
clothes and put into the boiler. If
needed, add more water to boiler. Let
clothes boil well. While the first

Plain women exist, and form a def
mite factor in our social economy
Not all of us are blessed with good
features, soft eyes, fine figure and
clear complexion. Some of us are
born with dull skins, wide mouths and
snub noses, and not all the arts of
dress and toilet can make us pretty,
or even presentable.
But all the same, plain women live
and thrive, and now and then make
brilliant marriages. says Mrs. Fitz-
roy Stewart in the Strand. In fact.
one has only to use ones eyes to see
that some ugly women have for men
quite a weird power of attraction.
History teaches us this: for we are
told, in several instances, of uncomely
women who have ruled the destinies
of men and nations.
Catherine of Russia and Nine. de
Maintenon had no looks; and Mary,
Queen of Scots, who has gone down to
fame as beauty, appears in her pic
lures as thin, small-eyed, and hard
featured. Indeed, only one portrait
is said to exist in which she is shown
as fair-haired and lovely. and this
hangs in Dalkeith palace. and belongs
to the Duke of Baccleuch.

For unbroken chilblains rubbing
