CABINETS GRAND OLD MAN

Thus far all efforts to drag James Wilson of

linger-Pinchot fight have been unavaing. THE
grand old man of the cabinet" says nothing and

In his long years as cabinet officer, secre-
tary Wilson has many fights He should,
and does, know by this time how to conduct him
self in such matters If President Taft calls up
on Mr.. Wilson for information an explanation,

it. But the old newspaper correspondents OF

Has Senator Stephen B. Elkins of West Vir-

CumimnsLaFoette ranks? Has he decided to
fight the powers that be in the upper branch of

These are few of the questions being asked
since the West Virginian arose in the senate sew

reported a resolution introduced by Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, providing for an investigation
of the high cost of living, a substitute for one

Advice to Women
Message from a Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lack
ing in Energy and
Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly at
tempt to improve their compilations
and to remove blackheads, crows
feet and other blemishes. through the
use of cosmetics. This treatment
fails because the trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They are suf-
fering from impure and impoverished
blood. This condition is in many
cases due to a catarrhal condition of
the whole system which finds its ex-
preston in sallow, muddy complex
ion. dark-circled eyes, general weak
ness of the system and perhaps most
plainly in the weeping of mucous
membranes that is commonly called
catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, catarrh. Danish
this catarrh and the complexion will
clear as if by magic, eyes will bright
en-, faces become rosy and shoulders
erect. Perfect beauty goes only with
perfect health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
one certain treatment-that which
will cure catarrh
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that
the one positive and permanent re-
lief for catarrh is Rexall MucuTone.
Here is her letter:
q can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systematic catarrh. Its tonic eff
fects are remarkable. 1t builds up
the strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Rexall Mucu-Tone they will
praise as l do it's strengthening and
healing qualities.
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the mu
cous celis-the congestion and in
fammation of which causes local ca
tarrh. This remedy causes poison to
be expelled from the system and the
blood is purified and revitalized. Thu

New York, Feb. 9.-Before an audi
ence of 1000 in the Metropolitan opera
house, Peary last night was presented
a $4,000 check, in behalf of the citi-
zens of New York. Instead of retain
ing it, the commander announced i'm

by the National Geographic society.
In Race with British.
The check was presented by Cover
nor Hughes. Accepting the gift, Peary
advanced to the front of the stage, and
said:
Here is a check for $4,000. 1t will
be deposited tomorrow as the joint
contribution of the members of this
audience, the officers and the commit
tee of the Civic forum and myself to-
wards an American antarctic expedi-
ton for the purpose of exploration and
scientific investigation, and to enter
the stars and stripes in a splendid,
manly international race for the south
pole with our British cousins, than
whom there are no finer foemen in the
world"
The audience was representative and
enthusiastic.
Under Auspices of Civic Forum.
The gathering was held under the

said he sincerely hoped congress
would take some substantial notice of
Peary's great achievement"
A resolution petitioning congress to
make some special and appropriate
recognition of the polar achievement
was adopted.
Peary delivered his illustrated lee
ture showing his progress to the pole.
Expedition Assured.
Washington, Feb. 9.-America has
decided to seek south pole laurels
similar to those won for her by Com
mander Peary at the north pole. The
National Geographic society resolved
to send an expedition next fall in
search of the south pole, provided
the necessary funds can be raised.
1t is not believed there will be any
lack on this score.
Commander Peary is in New York,
where a testimonial in his behalf was
given last night at the metropolitan
opera house. He was notified immed-
lately that the geographic society was
ready to accept the Peary Arctic
clubs proposition to undertake the
south pole expedition Jointly with
that organization.
Captain Bartlett, who was in COM
mand of the ship Roosevelt, which
Peary used on his successful expedi-
ton. probably will be placed in charge
of the party into the antarctic. With
the exception of Commander Peary,

Are you the wife of machinist, rail-

Or is your husband in some such trade
that means getting his clothes full of oil,
grease, paint, bloodstains or dirt of other
kinds?
If SO, you will appreciate the expert
ence of these women:
Mrs Charles Slater 74O1 Alaska Avenue, st. Louis,
writes: my husband is fireman locomotive and
had the greatest trouble in getting his clothes clean until
learned that FesNapha would take out all the dirt and
grease in cold or lukewarm water. Now it is easy.

works find that Fels-Naptha easily removes the dirt
and grease from his clothing in cold or ukewarm water
Before learned that washday drudgery Now it is
a snap
Another woman, whose husband is painter, writes
us that could get his white suits clean until she
tried Fes-Naptha
Still another who is married to butcher, says she
has tried nearly all soaps and finds that FelsNaptha is
the only one that will take all bloodstains and dirt
from her husbands white aprons.
Whether you have some special prob

DAIRYING IN BRITAIN
Illinois College Men Find Excel
lent Lessons in Summer Tour
of Farms in England
and Scotland.

Illinois dairymen are not getting the
! profits they should from the money
and labor invested in the business Of
producing milk. 1t is important to
know what is wrong with our meth
| DDS, and how Europeans can dairy with
profit on land worth from five to ten
times as much as that in the central
west. The underlying principles of
dairying are the same the world over
and the high points of their success
| are uniformly good COWS, economical
| feeding and care, and sanitary meth
| DDS, resulting in dairy products of high
quality. Most of the milk of England
is produced by milking Shorthorns.
| Several excellent breeders are breed
ing for milk alone, paying no attention
to beef
Summer PasturaEe and Winter Feed.
Cows are not soiled; pasture grass
is generally depended upon for the en-
tire summer feed. requiring about two
| acres per COW. This will support the
cows until Aug. 1. They are then turn
ed on the aftermath in the meadow,
and later changed back and forth from
the pasture TO the meadow. Grain is
seldom fed to COWS on pasture, until
after the first of August, when a small
amount of cotton seed cake is fed to
many of the best mixers. Ordinarily.
the winter ration for dairy COWS con-
sists of 40 to 20 pounds of roots, Is
pounds Of straw, pounds of hay, and
s pounds mixed meal and cake The
best farmers have sheds under which
manure is kept to avoid waste. The
barn yards are paved with cobble
stones to keep the cows out of the
mud. The years milk prices average
$3.50 per 100 pounds, after the freight
is paid.
England has practically nc creamer-
les or cheese factories. Nearly all of
the milk not used for direct consump-
ton is made into butter or cheese on
the farm, by far the greater part being
converted into sweet cream butter.
An Englishman would not think of
serving butter of as poor quality as
much of that found on the American
markets. Ireland practices, in many
respects, the loosest kind of dairy
methods.
Why the Cows Are Good.
In southern Scotland dairying is al
most the sole occupation of the farm
ers. The COWS are practically all high
grade or pure bred Ayrshires, and as a
class are efficient and economic pro-
ducers. Heifer calves from the best
cows are raised On all the farms A
good registered Ayrshire COW brings
from $125 to $500 and a good grade
COW $50 to $100. The cows that are
good producers are kept as long as
they are healthy. The poor mixers
are disposed of while young AS a !
rule the sires used are from high pro- |
ducing dams, rather than show stock. |
The best dairymen expect to receive |
500 per COW per year when the milk |
is sold at an average price of ST. 10 |
per 100 pounds. The production on |
IS farms near Kilmarnock in 1907 |
reached the high average of $500 |
pounds of 3.9 per cent milk per COW,
including heifers with their first calf. |
Cows in Scotland are fed very little
grain.
American DaIrymen's Mistake.
There are two types of Ayrshires in |
Scotland; the show type, bred for |
beauty alone and the producing txpe |
