ENLARGING ITS PLANT.
Topeka Pure Milk Company Will Build
Addition to Cost $4,000.

An addition to the plant of the Topeka
Pure Milk company is contemplated al
though the Improvement has as yet not
been formally authorized by the board
of directors of the company.
Due to the consolidation this fall with
the Heinz Ice Cream company and a gen.
eral growth in the business the present
quarters are not adequate to carry on the
business. The new building, as planned,
is a two story affair with ground space
or 50x6O feet, the idea being to utilize it
cost of the proposed building will be
$1,000. Definite action will be taken by
the board of directors the last of the
week

TEN YEARS OF
SCALP ERUPTION
Tiny Pinhead PimpIes Filled and
Hurt Tremendously Every
thing in Vain-His Daughters
Scalp was Crusted-Both Found
SIMPLY SURPRISING
CURE IN CUTICURA

1T is a great pleasure for me and 1
consider it a duty to inform you what
Cuticura has done for me- About
twelve years ago, l contracted an erup-
lion of the scalp consisting of small
pimples, about the size of a pinhead,
which filed after a few days with pus
and which hurt tremendously. 1 tried
everything, but in vain. Finally, 1
washed my head with sulphur and ap-
plied a carbolic ointment. After few
DAYS the pimples disappeared, only to
come back again in a week. This I
suffered for ten years and then l saw
an advertisement in the paper of the
wonderful cures by Cuticura. 1 bought
q cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment and bottle Of Cuticura
Pills and after three weeks 1 had used
only half the Soap and Ointment and
my head was as clean as ever before.
surprising how it improved.
my daughter used Cucicura Soap
and Ointment for scales on the scalp and
after having used them three times her
head was clear and the hair became as
soft and fine as silk. Since then she
uses nothing but Cuticura Soap for
shampooing.
In consequence of my having used
Cuticura Soap for shampooing, 1 no
ticed that my hands which almost al
ways were cracked from handling un-
dressed wood, lime and stone, became
white and velvety. Formerly 1 used
glycerine, but one nights treatment
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment does
more for my hands than weeks treat
ment with glycerine. 1 hope all suf-
fering people will at least try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. Herman Becker, Fl

Test Strength Of Concrete

The results of series of tests of the
strength of some of the common types
of columns used in concrete con-
struction have just been published by
the University of Wisconsin in bull
letin in the engineering series. The
monograph, which is entitled, "Tests
on Plain and Reinforced Concrete
Columns" was prepared by M. 0.
Whitney, assistant professor of mechan-
les, who conducted the investigation
in the laboratory for the testing of
materials in the University of Wiscon-
SIM
The big hydraulic testing machine,
which exerts a pressure of 300 tons,
was used in these Investigations Sew
eral forms of columns were tested.
Some were made of plain concrete,
some were reinforced with spiral
steel wire, and others with steel rods.
The effect of filling with concrete the
ordinary latticed steel columns was
also investigated. The way in which
these large pillars collapse is shown
by some eight full-page half-tone illus
trations.

"PIPE OF PEACE" RESTORED.
Graduates of Colby College Are This
Year Enabled to Continue Old
and Honored Practice.

When the class of 1852 left Colby
they introduced a custom which lasted
until 1903. with all the succeeding
classes, says the Lewistown Journal.
This custom was that of smoking on
commencement day pipe, which was
kept at the college for this purpose,
and on this eventful day in the lives
of the graduates they all took smoke
from the pipe whether they had
ever smoked before or not The So
called Pipe of Peace was an i'm
lnense pipe with stem two feet long
and a bowl with a human face en-
graved upon it in the front, while
around the sides were found many
other profiles This wonderful pipe
remained at the college for forty-odd
years and was smoked by every man
who graduated during that time, but
in 1903 it mysteriously disappeared,
and was not heard from until the
past week, when it was returned to
the college. With the disappearance
of the pipe the custom disappeared,
and thus the classes since 1903 have
not had the privilege of smoking a
pipe of peace" Now, however that
the pipe is safely back at the college,
and is being watched over by Dr. Hall
at the library, it is very probable that
the old custom will again be taken up
and that the class Of 1909 will on COM
mencement day of this year be seen
putting away at this valuable old relic

MAKING "ANTIQUEs" TO ORDER
Famous Old Pottery of England Ciev-
erly Initiated in Factories on
the Continent.

And still the manufacture OF an
tiques goes merrily on. An English
authority declares that there is not
a variety of famous old English pot
terry that is not initiated on large
scale for the English market. Contin-
entail factories are the sinners mostly.
A firm in Hungary sends out such ex-
cellent copies that many collector
is deceived This firm, it is said, has
initiated nearly all the important GER
amics of Europe and the east. An
other, a French firm, has simply flood
ed the market with clever limitations
of Worcester, Derby and the rest. Inc
beginner who pins his faith to the
mark is making a mistake. The gold
anchor is always found on spurious
Chelsea; only experts know that no
gold anchor at all is found on the
earliest and finest Chelsea. A case
in the courts brought out lately a
trick the German imitators had for
hiding these spurious marks from the
custom house officials. They simply
paste a label with the familiar MADE
in Germany printed on it over the
mark. The "old china" case tried in
London not long ago revealed the
extent of this imitation business, but
! it is doubtful whether people will not
go on being deceived just the same.

HOW TO DETECT THE SAILOR.
Seafaring Man Always Walks with
Palms of His Hands Turned
Backward.

A visitor who prides himself on his
knowledge of nautical affairs was
chatting with friend outside the Flat
iron building "See that man coming?'
he asked Can you tell what he is
by the way he walks?"
why, no." replied the New York
er who was with him.
He's a sailorman Of some sort
Look at his hands. No landsman ever
walked that way. A sailor always
walks with the palms of his hands
turned behind him and the backs
turned forward, the way he is walk
ing. Look at that landsman over there.
He swings his arms with the palms
of the hands turned toward his body
and the backs out. You can always
detect the man who is accustomed to
the sea that way"
Whats the explanations? inquired
the other.
why, there isn't any that | know
1t may be because the sailor gets the
habit of balancing himself in rough
weather by the use of his arms, but
don't believe that's the reason. It's
Just one of those things you can't &C
count for"
