One OF the most remarkable proofs OF
the unusual laxative merit contained in
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is that it IS
effective not only in people in the prime
of life, but at the extremes OF ages. AS
many letters are received from mothers
regarding the cures OF children, as from
men and women of sixty, seventy and
eighty years of age. 1t must be truly a
wonderful laxative.
In the cure OF constipation and bowel

Country Teachers Training
Miss Coren Says Position
Normal Preparation and Asks

teacher, especially team work in
tistical ideas, to make himself unim-
portant and follow someone else. We
can never learn to lead except by being
led. The entertainments, plays and
sociables give many useful ideas and
much help. 1t is good education to
know other people; it is so much help
to one in later life.
The Country Teacher.
Miss Cordell urged longer normal
courses for country teachers. The teach
er needs most tho ability to lead and
be a social factor; the town teacher
takes the full 6 years course, gets all
that great help and goes into the town
school. But how many country teach
ers have taken a full normal course
Of five or six years and have gotten
this ability 70 lead? There are so
many chances to learn at the normal
school that l don't see how any one
could get along in a country school
without these helps"
cannot afford so long a time in normal
school. Have any of you ever heard of
a teacher forced to the town school
because the country school would not
take her and give the right sort of
salary? Some teachers who are getting
$40 and $40 in town could get $50 and
$50 in the country. There is no finan-
cial reason why the country teacher
should not invest in normal training
If the teachers viii fit themselves thor
oughly they will find a position in the
country waiting for them at a fairly
good salary"
Skill First, Money Afterwards.
But the country teacher may, say
she can't get hold of the money.
Would an unprepared doctor or dentist
say that If the people would let him
practice on their sick children he
would go away to school and learn how
to do the work skillfully?~- Are the
teeth and bodies of the children worth
so very much more than their minds
and mental abilities?
All the students who took teachers
near Macomb with Miss Carney say
it was such a help to them. Today
there is not such a school in Illinois.
Grade teachers would not think for a
minute of going to the country to teach
the grades. Then why should county
teacher get her practice for teaching
in the country by taking teacher train
ing in the grades?

The youngest person on the program
of the recent state country teachers
meeting at Normal, Ill, was Miss Eula
Cordell Of Macomb, a country teacher
who gave excellent ideas without
help of manuscript. She spoke of the
many benefits to a rural teacher from
attending normal school The literary
societies and practice on the
programs help one to be a
more efficient member Of society

education in meeting people who are
doing things in the world and hearing
them talk. They come very often to

Mrs. r. P: If your hair is getting so
thin that you have to wear false hair,
you should begin at once a treatment
to rid your scalp of dandruff which is
the direct cause Of all scalp and hair
troubles. If You will mix together an
ounce of quinzoin, one-haIf pint of al
cohol and one-half pint Of cold water,
you will have dependable remedy for
your hair troubles. Rub this gently in
to the roots of the hair twice a week,
and it will destroy the dandruff, stop
your falling hair and in time promote
a new growth Of hair This quinine
tonic applied regularly will make your
hair soft, lUstrous and keep it from
splitting at the ends.
Minnie H: AS you do not like the
idea of wearing glasses since they
make you look so much older, why
don't you try treating them first with
a good eye tonic? If you will get an
ounce of crystos, dissolve it in a pint
of water, you will have an eye remedy
that will prove very refreshing and
strengthening. Drop a few drops IN
each eye two or three times a day,
and 1 am sure 1t will do your eyes a
world of good. 1t Will not smart the
eyes. 1 find it excellent for dull. tired
watery eyes, and a great aid even to
those who have to wear glasses.
Victoria: AS long as your blood is
loaded with impurities, those impuri-
ties will be forced through your skin,
and the application of external rem
edies will do no lasting good, for they
do not reach the cause. Dissolve one
ounce Of kardene and one-half cup Of
sugar in one-half pint of alcohol; then
add hot water to make a full quart.
and you will have enough inexpensive
old-fashioned remedy to rid your blood
of impurities, stimulate your liver and
correct your digestion. Take a table
spoonful before each meal and your
salIow skin will again take on the
beautiful color nature intended you to
have. Your circulation and general
health will improve and the sores,
blotches, redness and other eruptions
will cease to trouble you. No better
general system tonic can be made than
by following this kardene recipe. Try
it, and get rid of that rundown" feel
ing.
Juliet: Yes, any one afflicted with
superfiuous flesh is always at a big
disadvantage, whether married or
single To get rid of that annoying
fat, stop at your druggists the next
time you are down town and get four
ounces of parnotis. Dissolve this in
~ pints hot water and take a table
spoonful three times a day Give min
utes before each meaD, and your bur
densome flesh will soon be cut down.
The effect of this harmless remedy is
generally noticeable within week,
and you will feel much better.

Health and Beauty Answers
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

Mrs. J. s.: Wrinkles and other marks
of approaching old age which now wor-
~ you are very common. However,
you will not have to worry il you will
follow this simple treatment. Apply
to your face every night a greaseless
cream jelly made by mixing two tea
spoonfuls glycerine and one ounce al
mozoin into one-ha1f pint cold water.
Stir and let stand several hours before
using. Massage frequently with this
cream. 1t will remove all dirt and ex-
cess oil from the skin pores and in
time you will not have a rough, wrin-
killed. face, but fresh, smooth, clean
looking skin of velvety texture. l also
find this preparation excellent for re-
moving tan, sunburn, blackheads.
freckles and large pores in the skin.
r. P. N: To whften and beautify
your face, neck and arms, dissolve four
ounces of spIrmax in half-pint hot
water, adding two teaspoonfuls glyCer-
ine. Apply this lotion freely and it
will tone up your skin wonderfully and
quickly. It makes the skin soft and
smooth, and will remove that shiny,
muddy look which is so annoying to
you You will find this lotion much bet
ter to use than face powder, as it does
not rub off easily like powder nor does
it give ones face that powdered
look" / find this spurmax lotion ex-
cellent for removing and preventing
freckles, chapping and roughness of
the skin.
J. o.: To remove those dishguring
hairs from your face and forearms mix
a little delatone with enough water to
make a paste, cover the surface of the
skin where the unsightly hairs are
growing, let it remain two or three
minutes, then wipe off and wash the
surface with warm water. Although
your druggist will charge you a dollar
for an ounce of delatone, this safe
treatment for superfuous hair is pre-
ferred to the electric needle, for della
tone is painless, less expensive and
can be applied in the privacy of your
own home. Should the hairs return,
they will be light, thin and straggly.
A second or third treatment with della
tone will remove them forever.
Josephine: In treating your scalp for
dandruff, it is necessary to keep the
scalp as clean as possible. Shampoo
freely and as often as you need it, but
never use soap or a soap jelly, as the
alkali will make your hair dull life
less and your scalp harsh. Shampoo
with a teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup of hot water; then
rinse IN clear water. You will find this
a wonderful shampoo; it will put new
life into your hair and cleanse your
scalp as no other shampoo will. 1t

WHERE DIVORCE is EASY

Though one marriage out of three
in Japan ends in a divorce, the lower
class is, to an overwhelming degree,
responsible for this state of affairs.
In the upper a man only divorces his
wife after relatives and family coun-
ellis have done their best to avert the
catastrophe. In the lower class it is
different. A man marries lightly, and
divorces lightly, and women not in
frequently divorce their husbands-a
thing unheard of among the gentlefolk.
The woman of the people, being accus-
toned to live by her own labor, has
only the loss of her children to con-
sider In Japan the father has always
the custody, because heredity is only
supposed to be transmitted through
males. The wife has to salute her
husband first on every occasion. She
walks, sits, eats, sleeps, all after him,
and addresses him as "danna sama."

PRACTICAL DAIRYING IN IMPE-
RIAL VALLEY
BY f. II. SHERMAN

n HE dairy industry of Imperial val
ley began soon after the first
II crops were grown, some five years
ago.
The first churning made at cream
ery was the small amount of 32 pounds
of butter, this in the autumn of 1903,
when there were two dairymen to pro-
duce those 80 pounds Now there are
nearly 200 dairymen producing over
1000 pounds of butter a day. Why this
wonderful growth? Feed grows every
day in the year, so that the dairyman
is not compelled to store in summer
his winter supply of feed, at large ex-
pense, which would necessarily greatly
reduce his net income. The actual net
income to dairymen of the valley dur
ing the past six months has averaged
about $1,000 a day. Still the majority
of the people of the valley even do not
realize this fact and that the dairying
is the quiet steadygoing industry that
has brought the surest and most money
to the valley.
LuXuriant feed does not alone make
dairying in this valley so profitable.
The market we reach is not over
supplied and the prices are the best.
There is brisk competition in buying,
there being four creameries manufac-
turing the cream received in butter
here. There are besides four concerns
geles manufacturers, thus making buy
ir g very active and insurirg the pro-
ducer the best of prices and treatment.
That dalrying is not carried on in
an Indifferent way is evidenced by the
class of people engaged. There are
men of wealth and long years of ex-
perience in the business, those with
dairy school training, the university
man; men from the professional walks
of life and those who were virtually
born in and have grown up with the
dairy. That they may better carry on
this business these men have organized
the Imperial County Dairymen's asso-
citation for the purpose of enlarging
and bettering the industry and study
ing conditions peculiar to our valley
and climate.
The thorOughbreds are taking their
place in the development of the indus
try as noted by a recent test of one of
Mr.. Beldens Holsteins By adding to
her ration of pasture for four hours
and alfalfa hay for the remainder of
the day, rolled barley, valley prod
uct, her milk flow of $50 pounds car
rying 1.95 pounds of butter fat was
increased in ten days to 91.4 pounds
of milk, carrying 2.99 pounds of butter
fat. While this test was unofficial it
is valuable to the dairyman already
here in indicating to him the possibili-

what may be accomplished by scien-
