A Rernhardt Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who IS sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress. was recently called
upon in one Of her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role of sculptor,
and to model a certain bust in view of
the audiences This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath,

LEG A MASS OF HUMoR

About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
Just above my ankle It irritated me
SO that I began to scratch it, and 1t
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. / lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
/ would have to scratch it until had
the blood running down into my shoe.
/ simply cannot describe my suffer
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss Of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indie
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
perienee it to know what It is.
81 tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but / might as well have thrown
my money down sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad if not worse. I had given up
hope of ever being cured when was
induced by my wife to giye,the Cuti-
cura Remedies tTfat. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for little
while l began to see change, and
after taking a dozen bottles OF Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Outicura ONT
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day I was born. Now after lapse Of

From several investigations that

ton of tuberculosis it Is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the $4,000 prison,
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than $4,000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con.
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps
Similar conditions could be found In
almost every state, and in the major,
ity of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.

DANISH FARMER SECURES ALL
BY Means of Cooperation MiddIemen
Have Been Eliminated, Thus
Saving Profits.

The Danish farmer gets all that he
produces all. The state

farmer from exploitation. And he

Frederic c. Howe, in Outlook. The
cooperative movement began with
dairying. Up to about 1880 each. farm
eT made his own butter. It was very
costly and there was no uniformity
In the product About this time a
new device was invented for butter
making. A number of farmers got to-
gether and purchased one of the ma
chimes. It's success was immediate.
Other villages followed. Today there
are 1887 cooperative diaries, with a
membership of 1850 farmers. There
are also 200 other private dairies.
Nearly 95 per cent. of the farmers are
members of the cooperative dairies,
which ship nearly one million dollars
worth of butter. week to England.
Then the farmers began to use skim
milk for feeding their hogs. The ba-
con business became by-product.
Then they organized cooperative
slaughter houses, which are located
in districts. There are now "a of these
cooperative abattoirs, with a men,
bership of 10000 and an annual bust
ness Of 100000 hogs.
The Danish Cooperative Egg Ex-
port society was the next organization
It was organized in 1895. It now has
$1,000 members. The eggs are collect

circle Then they are sent to larger
circles for expert In 1908 the export

saves the profits which formerly went

bacon and eggs.
Thus the farmer gets all that his

"Old Boucher, for instance, the jan

old Boucher to lunch one day, and

coachman, who had not been in this
country long, had just been equipped
with a new uniform and a new silk
hat. Before they had gone far it be-
gan to sprinkle, and the old woman
told the coachman to fasten down the
side curtains of the wagonette.
He drove up to hitching post be-
side the road and, dismounttng, hung
his new hat on the post, and began to
fasten the curtains.
The old woman noticed his bare head
and asked him where his hat was.
"Oi took it off me head, mum, so as
1t wouldn't get wet" the coachman re-
piled.
