SKIN ERUPTION CURED.

Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful
that Little Sufferer Could Not
Sleep-Scratched COnstantly-Cut.
icura's Eficacy Proven.
when about two and half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption.
1t began in October; the first I no.
ticed was a little red surface and q
constant desire on her part to scratch
her limbs. She could not sleep and
the eruptions got sore, and yellow wa
ter came out of them. 1 had two doc
tors treat her, but she grew worse un-
der their treatment. Then I bought
the Cuticura Remedies and only used
them two weeks when she was entire

SURPRISED HIM.



A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect of diff
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his con-
valescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and it's rather fascinating favour and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so I started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the
first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
"An old patient of mine, 73 years
old. came down with serious stomach
trouble and before l was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind OF
food for the sick without avail.
II Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just a
little pinch of sugar He exclaimed
when | came next day, Why, doctor,
| never ate anything SO good or that
made me feel so much stronger
Il am pleased to say that he got well
on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick
to it for two or three weeks, then he
began to branch out little with rice
or an egg or two. He got entirely
well in spite of his almost hopeless
condition. He gained % pounds in
two months, which at his age is re-
markable.
II could quote list of cases where
Grape-Nuts has worked wonders

Road to MELVILLE" in pkgs.

Short Suggestions.

A tasty addition to ham sandwiches
is a pickle or two minced with the
cold meat.
A cupful of ripe olives added to the
beef stew just before it is taken off
improves it wonderfully.
A dainty fruit salad is made of white
cherries, bits of orange and bananas,
served on lettuce, with French dress
ing.
The handles of knives should never
be immersed in water. or after time
they would become discolored and
loose.
For a change add to the scrambled
eggs half a dozen mushrooms cut into
bits and cooked in teaspoonful of
butter with half green pepper minced
fine.
A relish made of one can of pimen-
toes, mixed with finely chopped celery,
is we'll liked 1t is covered with
French dressing and served on lettuce
leaves.
in an oven that is too hot Set the
custard in pan of hot water, and see
that it does not boil during the bak-
ing.
Heat lemon thoroughly before
squeezing it; you will obtain nearly
double the Quantity of juice that
would be obtained if it were not
heated
When making pea soup, if the peas
are boiled little while, separately,
with pinch of common washing soda,
they will be found to cook much more
quickly. They do not need soaking.
Save one or two turkey wings. They
are the best brushes In the world to
use around a stove and they are splen-
did for sweeping closet shelves. Weight
the wing tip with an iron until it
dries.
BY sailing the water when poaching
eggs they are rendered whittier and
clearer than without this help. A GER
tain French cook adds half table
spoon Of vinegar to every two quarts
of water when poaching eggs.
When making gravy add a little
parsley To the grease before putting in
the four, remove it after it is thor
oughly cooked, add the -four, and see
what a delightful change it makes in
the ordinary beef gravy.

THE LAST HERON.
Destruction of Bird Life in Catering to
Millinery Fads.

The Technical World refers to the ex-
termination of the white heron in way
that ought to bring the blush of shame
to those who persist in adjoining them
selves at the expense of bird life, which
has been made precarious if not impossi-
BILE by the persistent onslaughts Of the
feather and plume hunter, and thus
speaks of the last survivor of beautiful
species:
High above the marshy wastes which
border the klamath lakes in southern
Oregon a lone white heron winged its
desolate fight a month ago, the sole
survivor of once numerous family.
But one is left, according to the officials
of the United States land Office and of
the National Association of Audubon so
cieties; just one white sample remaining
of myriad thousands of one of the most
beautiful of all native birds; the decree
of fashion having brought about such a
butchery that biological historians will
in future works record the fact that A.

stretches backward to the ages that are
gone.
The National Association of the Au-
dubon Societies of Wild Birds and Ami
mails is active iii the interest of the
wild heron. In April and May last the
customs officers at New York seized
pIOUO WOIIu u dlSIeIteS lTOm the VIII
heron, and in the ordinary course of
events the aigrettes would have been Of
fered at auction but the national society
protested and asked for their destruction.
Collector Loeb submitted the protest to
the solicitor of the treasury, who stated
that while the tariff laws cannot be af-
fected or controlled by the protest of the
Audubon society, or by the statutes of a
state, the act of Congress allows the con-
struction that plumage in question has
the same status as if the herons had
been taken and produced in New York.
Under this construction, the collector will
destroy the aigrettes.

When one of our Western farmers
goes down East he is impressed with
the fact that the truck patch, the
orchard, the poultry yard and the
dairy are relatively of vastly greater
Importance than in this country where
broad fields of grain, alfalfa, spuds
and sugar beets are in fashion and big
punches of beef cattle enliven the
landscape. The great cities. some of
them containing more people than the
entire State of Colorado, must be fed
from the farms. The products OF the
West are mainly such as may be
readily transported over long dis
tances. But milk, vegetables and
small fruits are better, as we'll as
cheaper, if produced near the place Of
consumption land this line of agricul-
ture has from the exigency of things
become the industry Of Eastern farm
ers.-Field and Farm.

Dairy Notes.

Butter methods are gradually gain
ing favor.
Working to the best advantage
means using brains.
Cold and overlooking will kill the
young calf more quickly than any
thing else.
Don't try to keep a cow for milk
and beef. She will disappoint you ev-
cry time.
The man with a dual purpose
dream usually wakes up to find that
he is in the beef business.
It's Just about as hard to get a good
heifer out of a scrub as 1t Is to make
water run up HILL
The creamery patron has his month
ly cream checks while the other fell
low has the store bill.
Every hand separator is built to
take care of certain amount of milk.
Don't feed it above capacity.
The best way to insure high prices
for dairy products is to make them so
good that the people can't help eating
them.
The ordinary man may be judged
by the company he keeps, but the
dairy farmer is judged by the cows
he keeps.
The manure spreader will help you
to better returns from your dairy herd
because it will make the manure more
valuable to the land.
Don't sell a good cow because the
other fellow offers p big price for her.
She is worth just as much to you as
she can possibly be to him.
There's a close relation between the
type of COW and her performance,
but it is no more marked than the re-
lation between the type of her owner
and what he does in the dairy bust
ness.

Thorough Cultivation.

If the ground is cultivated often
enough no weeds can grow, and if the
ground for crop is carefully pre-
pared before putting in the Seed, by
deep blowing and frequent narrowing,
the cultivation required after the
plants are up need not be more than
1 inch deep. If this is, done after
every rain there can be no weeds, and
they will become fewer every year,
while the cultivation will prevent loss
of moisture in the soil by affording
a loose covering of dry earth.

MEASURING NAIL GROWTH.
Fastest Up to 80, Diminishing as Old
Age Approaches.

Among psychologists. as in the public
at large, there are current a number OF
errors relative to the growth of the nails
For example, it is generally thought thai
the seasons influence the growth.
This subject has been studied very
closely of late, and it can be definitely
stated. says ILLUSTRATION, that the
growth of nails depends upon age. The
growth is greatest from to 30 years
old, then it diminishes.
This applies to the nails on the hand
But it's very different with the nail of
the big toe. The growth of this nail in
the young is only half or a third of
that of the finger nails. But in old peo-
pie it is equal.
This would seem to show that the low
err limbs retain more of their vigor than
the arms.

Feeding Manure to Plants.

Our people are perfectly satisfied
that they can put character into milk
and cream and butter by feeding the
dairy cow properly balanced ration
and all that she will properly stand.
The COW Is simply a machine, the soil
is simply machine, and the cabbage
head is a machine into which we can
put a certain amout of material and
turn out from it so many dollars. If
YOU feed this vegetable matter, with
high-grade heterogeneous manure you
can make it pay.
