Knight of the Roadv Sub
 stantial Meal.

A clever little bit of human nature vas used by knight of the road" re- gently on matron living in suburb of Pittsburg, and as result he slept with full stomach that night.
 The suburb is quite small, and when he tramp dropped off a freight and mbled up the main street he was quite lungry. There were about ten houses which gave fair chance of meals, and he tramp lost no time. He was not surprised when the first housewife slammed the door in his face, nor the second, for that was natural and the proper thing to do. But when he cached the ninth house, or rather was lelped away, he was thoroughly dis gusted. The town certainly had him loodooed.
 After short rest and a deep think he hungry one knocked at the door )f the tenth house.
 Madam, can you let hungry man have bite to eat? I don't think you ,an, though" he said. The woman opened her ears.
 Why cant r" she inquired
 The woman next door said you didn't have enough for yourself"
 He got his meal.

The white ash is one of the stateliest representatives of it's genus and IS found throughout the eastern states ani Canada, although the supply of this valuable wood is rapidly being depleted. In the forests of the rich bottom lands of the lower Ohio basin it has been known to attain height of 120 feet and five to six feet diam eter of trunk, but these dimensions are exceptional, says Forest Leaves. When growing apart from other trees it develops an ovoid or somewhat pycamidal top, with long slender lateral branches, and is popular as an ornamental shade tree. The wood of the white ash is heavy, cubic foot weighing 407S pounds, hard and strong, and is used extensively in the manufacture of tool handles. agricul- tural implements, cars, furniture, etc. The inner bark is used in medicine.

16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE


 For sixteen long years have been suffering with a bad case of skin dis ease. While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague both cred me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints it made 1t impossible for me to walk, and was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recov- cry were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life all unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills] and I did not need more than trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was differ ent man entirely. I am now the hap piest man that there is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A.

A Horse Lover.

James R. Keene, who is noted no less as a horseman than as financier, said at luncheon at his Cedarhurst residence:
 My love of horses has been great comfort to me all my life. l have al ways kept my horses in their place, though. I haven't allowed them to in- terfere with my business.
 Some men carry their love of horses altogether too far. Such one was a young father who stood, with his fair wife, before the crib of their first born.

KEEPING MILK
 SEPARATIONS CLEAN
Sweet Cream Should Keep With out Deteriorationf for at Least Twenty-four HourS-Theu
 It Can Be Mixed.
(By E. w. HARRINGTON.


 There is no better way Of holding cream from one day to another than to run it over a cooler immediately as it comes from the separator, cooling it thereby to some 50 degrees Fahren- heit.
 It will be we'll to skim the first lot of cream very rich, about 40 per cent. fat. Then cool this to low tempera- ture and hold it cold until the second day The cream separated on the sec ond day may be somewhat thinner, containing from 25 to 30 per cent rat. This may be run directly into the cold, rich cream of the previous day ana the two lots thoroughly mixed
 After the mixture has stood an hour or so it ought to be tested both TOT Tat and acidity. If it has slow acldlty near BIO per cent, starter may De used After mixing the starter witn the cream ripen it at 65 to 70 degrees until the acidity reached about 5-10 per cent.
 The cream ought then to be cooled to about 50 degrees and held at this temperature until it is churned
 Sweet cream from clean mix ought to keep without deterioration TOT twenty-four hours, and If this IS mixed with cream fresh from the separator the mixture should stand rom SIX .o ten hours, with an occasional stirriIs so as to ripen uniformly
 Ii you do not do this the older cream may churn before the fresh cream

This Beautiful Plant Grows Its Tropical Home. Climbing TendriIs
 

Tn early days, when human intelli- gence was in its infancy, there four ished a primitive form of religion, known as plant and tree worship. and. though centuries have intervened, curious traces of this old phase still remain in the folk lore of plants.
 This old-time veneration which our ancestors cherished for forest giants and exquisite blossoms can be readily appreciated in view of the emotion and admiration which they call forth in ourselves today
 With the passing of the centuries and the progress of civilization these primitive ideas were modified and changed to meet the changed condi- tions of life and mind, so that under the shadow of Christ's life and cruel fixion some members of the plant world became source of veneration,
