HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR

81 think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard Of. My mother had a child
who had "a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine. but 1t
did no good. In a few days the head
was a solid mass; a running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching he
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got a dollar bottle Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and q bar OF Cuticura Soap.
We gave the ResOlvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and it has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head of hair.
l think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. 1t makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"

CHIEF DELIGHT OF PARIS
Its Magnificent BouIevards the Ad-
miration Alike of the Resident
and the Visitor.

In every great capital there is some
corner, some spot-a something's
promenade, perhaps, where it gathers
and concentrates itself. as it were;
which is the center of it's moral activ-
ity, and, as we say nowadays, it's
characteristic. With us, that corner
that spot is the boulevard. | do not
exactly mean that the boulevard is
Paris, but surely, without the boule-
ward We should not understand Paris.
| shall always remember one of the
keenest emotions of my youth. l had
been obliged, owing to my duties at
the time, to Danish myself to the
provinces, where | had remained al
most 1tWo years, confined within a
small town. The hour came at last
for me to return to Paris and once
more to enter into it's possession.
Hardly had l deposited my trunk at
the hotel, when l ran to the Made
leine and clambered on top OF one of
the OmnlbuSeS that ply along the line
Of the bOulevards to the Bastille. I
had no business at the Bastille, but l
was almost crazy with joy at breath
ing during the drive that perfume of

HOMETOWN
TEACH BOYS TO LOVE FARMS
Systematic Campaign Against the
Lure of the City" Has Been
Started in Iowa.

Dubuque, Iowa, has instituted an
active fight against the lure of the
city which is drawing boys from
the farms and small towns to the
large centers of population. A
school has been established where
youngsters from twelve. to sixteen
years old can live out of doors, learn
the practical lessons of the farm and
at the same time follow the same
course of book study" pursued in
other schools. This institute is called
years ago by Prof. B. J. Horchem of
Dubuque as an experiment. The plan
is to train young boys along useful,
interesting and healthful lines, to
keep them busy throughout the year
and to instill in them a rea owe for
outdoor life. and, above all, for pro-
ductive occupations.
All the Work of the school centers
about the farm" where the boys are
taught the simple elements Of scfen-
tific farming, how to raise the differ
ent varieties of garden truck n how
and when to plant the staple crops,
such as wheat, corn, rye and barley.
h boys also are taught about cattle,
sheep and poultry.
In addition to this, the school
grounds must be kept up and the
youthful farmers get experience in
agricultural engineering, UGH as
ditch and well digging, road build
ing and irrigation.

HUNTING WITH A STEER

Farmers IN a nuInber of counties ly-
Ing on both sides of the Sacramento
river. in the central portion OF all
f0rnia. are frequently much harassed
during the winter by the depredations
OF countless f1ocks Of wild geese that
swarm over the broad grain fields and
destroy the young, sprOuting grain
stalks. So serious are these annual
invasions that many Of the farms
have employees who regularly patrol
the fields and do nothing else but
keep the ~feathered pests on the wing.
One of the most novel blinds or
stalkers ever used in that section. or
and other, for the purpose OF Destroy
ing the geese. is that Of an ingenious
farmer Of COluSa, who lives on the
bank of the Sacramento. He employs
a big red steer trained to stalk geese.
The steer walks round a flock of geese
n an ever-decreasing circle, his mas
ter, armed with a repeating shotgun,
walking beside him, but on the FUR
Their side from the flock. The geese
nave become used to seeing animals
grazing near that they pay no atten-
ton to them, so that the farmer Is en-
abled to get within shotgun distance
and pour a broadside into the flock
while it is feeding on the ground and
two more shots before the birds are
out of range when they rise.

TRAGEDY OF A BIG DRINK

Prince vladimir T~erepakoff, a pen
niless nobleman, sacrificed his life at
Moscow the other week in an attempt
to win a strange wager. Count Wal

with him that he would not drink a
gallon of liquor at a draught. The
princes reward if ne accomplished the
feat was to be the title deeds Of a val
cable estate.
The prince ate nothing all day with
the exception of a salt herring, and
in the evening. in the presence Of the
count and four Witnesses. he raised
a gallon jar to his lips and drank
steadily until he set it down empty.
The title-deeds OF the estate were

ceived them when he sunk to the
ground and died in a few moments.

ROQUEFORT AND ITS CHEESE

The village OF R~oquefort. France,
has only 900 inhabitants, but its indus
try is probably the oldest in the world.
1t was mentioned by Plineus 1000
years ago. The cheese is ripened in
natural stone grottos, artiicially
widened and prepared, which grot-
tos are forever agitated by a
moist wind from the rock below
Roquefort cheese was highly esteemed
in ancient Rome and has eel export
ed for centuries. At the end Of the
seventeenth century 100000 pounds
per year were made. In the year 1866,
5000, 900 pounds were made and sold.
Nowadays the village earns 80, O00,O 900
francs per year by supplying the
world with cheese.

Starting School Gardens,

1t is no necessary, though it is ad-
visable, that teachers should have
some knowledge of plants, soils, etc.
The prime necessity is the proper
spirit. The inexperienced teacher
should not hesitate to inaugurate the
work, but should say to the pupils: Il
don't know much about plants or gar
dens, but We'll start our garden and
all learn as the work progresses" A
teacher with that kind of a spirit
never made a failure OF anything.

The bill also confers on health Of
icials the power to report to county
boards persons who are afflicted with
tuberculosis and are considered to be
e menace to their families and to-
others. After thorough examina-
ton the fact that such a person is
within, the grip of the disease, he can
be compelled to go to sanatorium
and kept there at county expense.
Another provision of the Sunberg
measure is that no school teacher
having consumption shall teach I'M.
less she has a certificate from rep-
utable physician stating there issno
danger of communicating the disease
The same certificates. shall be re-
quired from children in whose
homes consumption is known to exist
Senator Sunberg explains that it
is his purpose to not only put up,
strong barriers against a spread of
the disease, but to equip the health
officers with that information which
will place them in proper position
to combat cases already contracted.
No one is so much interested in,
this measure as the self-sacrificing
persons who have devoted their ener-
gies in an effort to blot out the tuber-
ular curse. They realize that, at
best, slow progress will be made, and
that telling results only can be ac-
complished by direct attention to
specific cases.
While some of the provisions of
the Sunberg bill might indicate
hardship to victims of the disease, it
must be remembered that the pro-
posed action of the state would be
taken in the interests of the larger
number and that, although to be
torn away from home might seem un-
just, the life of the patient himself
often demands just such action.
Senator Sunberg's untiring efforts
in behalf of the people contain no
culosis measure.

omission of dot over an "i'' or the
