From the Kansas CITY ]

FROM the Kansas city Journal.
This is the tallest corn story of the
season and is being told among the
travelling men over the state Ii is
said to have been in letter written
home by an eastern visitor:
Most of the Kansas streets are paved,
grains of corn being used for cobble-
stonea. while the cobs are followed
out for sewer pipe. The husks, when
taken off whole and stood on end,
make nice tent for the children to
play In. 1t sounds queer to hear the
feed man tell the driver to take dozen
grains of horse feed over to Jackson's
livery stable. If 1t We're not for soft
deep soil here l don't see how they
would ever harvest the corn, as the
stalks would grow up as high in the
air as a Methodist church steeple.
However. when the cars get too heavy
their weight presses the stalk down
in the ground on an average of 90 feet;
and this brings the ear near enough to
the ground to be chopped off with an

Pine Smokers, Jaws

There Is one question always ask
Il man who wants a job remarked the
business man who has to hire several
hundred men for different positions
each year
The question always ask them iA
Do you smoke a pipe much?' OF cours
the answers are various. Some of them
smoke a pipe great deal and others
not at all. Some smoke cigarets, all
though l seldom can get a man to adj
nit it. There seems to be general
guilty feeling when a man is a ci-
garet smoker. Some of them smoke
cigars. My business is such that 1t
makes very little difference to their
availability to me no matter what they
smoke.
Why do ask about the pipe? Well,
not that l have the least interest in
their habits. or that l have any preju-
dice one way or another in the matter.
The reason is that l want to know
whether the formation of their lower
jaws is natural or acquired.

My SIX year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it, BY
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore, but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine, but it did
not help her and tried several rene
dies. but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised, 1
thought would try them. gave her
hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura
Ointment. The first treatment relieved
the itching and in short time the dis
ease disappeared. Mrs G.. L. Fridhoff,

under the impression that spring time
is the only painting time. But the fall
of the year offers several advantages to
the painter. One of the most import

be dry, and there is no frost or inner
moisture to work out after the paint Is
