Mrs. Zelia Nuttall. the archaeologist,

earth some distance from the point of
excavation In the customary manner
that is, on a piece of coarse cloth tied
between two poles, stretcher fashion,
carried by two Indians. This method
seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut
tall, so she ordered several iron wheel.
barrows from the city, When they
arrived she turned them over to the
foreman after explaining to him what
they were for and how to use them.
Next day when she visited the work
the Indians had discarded their primi-
tive parihuelas and were using the
bright new wheelbarrows. AS each
barrow was filed with earth 1t was
picked up by two Indians. one using
the handles and the other the wheel.

earth was to be deposited. All efforts

will be in effect from Sept. Is to Oct.

This year the West looks more
promising than ever. Now is the time
to secure land at low prices, and, at
the same time, to visit the many inter
esting points in the West and North

cuTIcURA CURED HIM.
Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles
Could Not Wear Shoes Because
OF Bad Scaling and Itching.

II have been successfully cured of
dry eczema. I was inspecting the re-
moval of noxious weeds from the edge
of a river and was constantly in the
dust from the weeds. At night I
cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly
sensation. I paid no attention to it
for two years but noticed scum
on my legs like fish scales. I did not
attend to it until it came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and I could not wear
shoes. I had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. I got cake of
the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment. In less than ten days I
could put on my boots and in less than
three weeks I was free from the con-
founded itching. Capt. George P. Bliss.

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the In
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.

North Carolina says:
my mother since her early child

and had been troubled with her heart
for number of years, and COM

the coffee, and asked him concerning
it. He replied that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought a pack

wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked 1t so well, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very anx.

but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt sc
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with hel

headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as vel

SUGGESTIONS for Fall Work.

For some time past there have been
many letters from both old and young
asking for suggestions that will be
helpful in club, school and Sunday
school work. In most instances the
social side is emphasized with re-
quest that some scheme to make
money be combined with it. Until the
time comes when we all set aside a
proportion of our income for charit-
able work on the same business basis
that we regulate our other expenses
there will always be demands for
ideas with which to cajole the al
mighty dollar into empty treasures
and sugar-coat the. pill of getting
money to keep the wheels of great
charity organizations turning. True,
there is the social side that we all
need and is worthy of consideration.
Owing to lack of space i have con-
densed these schemes into as few
words as possible, leaving them to be
enlarged by those who try them.
For a Watermelon party" which
is to be given by church society,
the invitations had this unique fea-
ture: There was pen and ink sketch
of man, under which were these:
"Alone, admission Is cents;;" next a
sketch of a couple with ten, cents
each; third sketch showed a man
with two girls and the words five
cents EACH"
A novelty was Popcorn" social,
the admission was an ear of popcorn;
then there was hot buttered popcorn,
popcorn balls; the room was deco
rated with ears of popcorn i'm fes-
toons, and there was hot corn meal
mush served with cream and sugar
in quaint little blue bowls, which were
purchased at ten cents each as souve-
Mrs. Then there was regular old
fashioned corn-hulling bee, the com.
pany being divided into sides. The
corn was then put in bags, pound
to each and it was distributed to the
various charitable institutions where
there were children.
An easy way of saving money is
carried out by class of boys who are
in school; they save every penny bear
ing the year date of their birth. AS
these pennies are collected they are
turned into common treasury and
given at the end of the year to 9
charity that all decide on. AS mos
of them have enlisted the services Of
their family and friends in watching
for these special pennies, there is us
ually quite sum collected with very
little trouble.
Twelve young .matrons organized +;
magazine club in this way: Each on,
subscribed for periodical, the choic.
being made at a meeting in Novem
Der; these were exchanged and al
finally collected at one house. Whel
there were IL of each the member
met, tied them in piles and sent then
to various institutions, goodly shar
going to the Jail and settlements
where they were distributed wher
they would be most appreciated.
