If there Is any one condition that a
dairy or meat animal should be spared
during the winter months it is a wet
and nasty place in which to rest at
night. Not only does such a condition
mean lack Of comfort for the animals,
but they are likely to produce or ag-
gravate tubercular tendencies and any
other ailment that is promoted by
dampness and filth.

The apple maggot is pest which af-
fects this fruit in some sections Of
Maine, and it is said to be infinitely
worse than the larvae Of the codling
moth, as many OF the maggots will in
fest single apple and often entirely
honeycomb it. One Of the worst fea-
lures in connection with the pest seems
to be that it cannot be readily reached
by the arsenical sprays which are so
effective in holding the codling moth

Indian Life and Customs.

The talk by L. B. Harris of Lyndon
vile before the North church Brother
hood, Friday night, was one of the most
interesting and instructive ever given be-
fore the men of that church. Mr.. Harris
who is member of the Acoma clan of
the Pueblo Indians, prefaced his address
with many incidents illustrating the Gus
toms of the American Indians and said
that the Indian race is not vanishing,
but that undoubtedly there are more red
men in this country today than at any
time in it's history.
The subject of his talk was ''The Moqui
Indian and their Snake Dance" and he
gave vivid description of this strange
religious ceremony which he has wit
messed many times. At the close of his
address he was kept busy answering
questions about this strange people of
the southwest. Light refreshments were
served after the address.

Opening at Staples.

The new ready-to-wear shop of Berton
Staples in Citizens Bank block was
opened to the public yesterday. The
effect of space and light given by the soft
and ash finish and the comparatively
small number of counters and show
cases is particularly pleasing. The cleo
trio fixtures are in verde, harmonizing
with the wall colorings. The windows
were simply but effectively decorated
with huge punches of deep red carna-
( tions giving touch of color. Within
the store were more flowers, white carna-
tons at the rear and in the centre great
basket of yellow jonquils, the gift of the
Brown Durrell Co. of Boston. The re-
mova1 of the old elevator shaft adds
for a fitting room.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

"My mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says. Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint'
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scald.ng of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
Of seventy-four.
my own case was an eczema In my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then | thought would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. did for four or
Eve winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun
