MISSISSIPPFS NEW ROAD LAW
Recent Legislation Enacted Measure
Destined to Materially Ad-
vance Cause.

The recent Mississippi legislature
enacted road law that, on its face.
appears destined to advance very ma.
terially the cause of good roads in
that state. While 1t does not inter-
fere with the established system, 1t
acts almost independently Of 1t. It
provides that upon petition of 20 per
cent Of the citizens Of a district, the
board Of supervisors shall advertise
the petition three weeks, and II no
opposing petition is presented, the
supervisors are authorized to issue
25-year bonds to an amoUpt not ex-
ceeding one-tenth OF the taxable prop
erty in the district. II 20 per cent. Of
Of the citizens at the end Of three
weeks present a counter petition. then
the board shall submit the issue to an
election. A tax Of one mill per dollar
Is authorized for a sinking fund and
interest, and the board appoints three
commissioners who shall have charge
Of the construction Of the road, acting
under the supervisors, and on the ad-
vice Of an expert civil engineer. And
the established road system is not dis
turbed, rather supplemented by the
new law.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. had a physi.
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then /
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end Of about q
year and half Of suffering he grew
SO bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap ant Cuticura Ointment. l
sent to drug store and got cake Of
Cuticura Soap and box Of the Oint-
ment end followed directions. At the
end Of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. l used only one cake Of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.

lilies and 1t is always a pleasure for
me to tell my story and recommend

THE season has brought in and In
i troduced successfully a number OF
hats very simply trimmed which are
nevertheless quite elaborate enough.
The bodies Of these hats are made OF
beautiful braids, of which there are
so many different patterns, combined
with folded maline, matching them in
color. The result is exquisitely soft
and light shapes which look better
when simply trimmed than otherwise.
The Napoleon shape at the bottom oil
the group is in silk braid, kings blue
in color. A close shirring OF maline
is let in about the brim, breaking Its
width and giving an airy touch that
is lovely. A shaded quill. blue to gray
and a double fan Of velvet ribbon, IN
the same colors. are mounted at the
front. A single fiat band OF the blue
velvet ribbon extends over the back
trimmed into the crown. This Is all
the trimming and nothing more Is

Selection Of Poultry.

In choosing poultry select those
that are soft. Perhaps the surest way
to determine whether they are young
is to try the skin under the leg OF
wing. If it is easily broken 1t Is
young; or turn the wing backwards
and If the Joint yields readily 1t Is
tender. When poultry is young the
skin is thin and tender, the legs
smooth, the feet moist and timber, and
the eyes full and bright. The body
should be thick and the breast fat. Old
turkeys have long hairs and the flesh
Is purplish where II shows under the
skin on the legs and back. About
March they deteriorate in quality.
Young ducks and geese are plump
with light semitransparent fat, soft
breast bones, tender flesh, leg joints
which will break with the weight of the
bird, fresh-colored and bristle beaks,
and the windpipes that break when
pressed between the thumb and fore.
finger. They are best in fall and
winter.

Navy Locks.

Even the straightest locks in the
world can be made wavy by the sim
pie process of wetting the hair with
alcohol and pinning it in little loops
tight down to the head. Do not put
the alcohol on your hands or brush
but use a little wad Of absorbent cot
ton and dab the alcohol lightly over
the hair. Then, taking a strand at
time, pinch it into loops about two
inches apart and pin each loop snuSly
down. This can be done across the
back of the head as we'll as on the
top and sides, and the hair will wave
and be perfectly dry in about half an
hour, especially If thin piece of veil
ing is tied all around the head as
tightly as possible.

MAKING THE BEST OF STEAK
Most Effective Way Of Dealing, for In.
stance With the Flank End
Of Porterhouse.

Before speaking Of the cooking Of
the cuts that lack tenderness through
out, It may be well to refer to the fact
that the flank end Of the porterhouse
Is to be classed with the toughest Of
cuts and with those which, when
cooked alone, are with difficulty made
tender even by long heating. Mock
duck, which Is commonly made out Of
flank steak. can be rendered tender
enough to be palatable only by long
steaming or cooking in water. and yet
people quite generally broil this part
Of the steak with the tenderloin and
expect It to be eaten. The fact is that
to broil this part Of the porterhouse
steak Is not good management. It IL
much more profitable to put 1t into
the soup kettle or to make 1t into
stew. In families where most of the
members are away during the day the
latter is a good plan, for the end Of
the steak makes good stew for two
or three people. This may be sea-
soned with vegetables left from din
ner, or two or three olives cut up in
gravy will give a very good flavor; or
few drops of some one Of the bottled
meat sauces, II the flavor Is relished,
or little Chilli sauce may be added to
the stew. But II the tough end Of a
porterhouse is needed with the rest, q
good plan il to put 1t through O meat
grinder. make 1t into balls, and brojl 1t
with the tender portions. Each men,
Der of the family can then be served
with a piece Of the tenderloin and
meat ball. II the chopped meat is
seasoned with a little onion Juice,
grated lemon rind, or chopped parsley,
a good flavor is impaired to the gravy.

Benefit In Outdoor Schools.

Speaking before the National Associ.
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis recently, DR.. Henry Far.
mum Stoll of Hartford, Conn. said:
Every city should have one or more
outdoor school," He recommended
such institutions for all delicate, 80
called scrofulous or anaemic children,
and those with tuberculosis Of the
bones, who are now In ordinary
schools. Doctor StoIl declared that
twenty or forty per cent. Of school
children In large cities are infected
with tuberculosis. BY the use Of tu-
berculin, 1t was ascertained that 70 per
cent. Of the children from tuberculous
homes were infected as against only 26
per cent of those from supposedly
healthy homes. It was also found that
30 per cent. of the frail children from
healthy homes had the germs Of the
disease, but that only IL per cent. Of
the robust children from similar homes
were thus affected.

That is usually the case when the bath

three minutes. Such bath is tonic.

A kernel or grain Of corn consists
Of nine parts:
1. Tip cap, which covers the tip or
base Of the kernel and comprises only
about 1.5 per cent Of the grain.
2. Embryo root.
3. Tip starch.
4. Germ. The germ occupies the
central part of the kernel toward the
tip end. It comprises about IL per
cent Of the kernel (more in high-oil
corn and less in lowell corn). The
germ contains from 35 to 40 per cent.
Of corn oil or from so to So per cent,
Of the total oil contained in the corn
kernel.
s. Embryo stem or stalk.
6. Horny gluten. The horny glu-
tenous part (aleurone layer) lies I'M
derneath the hull surrounding the ker-
mel. II comprises from to IA per
cent OF the grain (being more abun-
dant in high protein corn), and 1t con-
