BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six

with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it. spread all ovcr

his head vas scaly all over. Then his

and it kept spreading until it "a OF

boxes of ointment, gave him blood

him, but he got worse all the time. He

told me about Cuticura. | ser and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began Il improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles OF Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound aud well. and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over

The Saloon b

The overwhelming magnitude of
this (the saloon) problem is such that
it demands the best thought of every
citizen who has at heart the welfare
and perpetuity of our republic. To be
Indifferent to this problem is as un-
wise and suicidal as it would be to
slumber on the brink of an active vol
cano. A study of our past and pres
ent history proves the truth of the
above statement. The vast foreign
immigration TO this country, the un-
deniable tendency of the population
to gravitate to cities, the large ex.
cess of foreigners owe Americans in
our cities, the rapid increase of the
manufacture and consumption of al
'coholic beverages, the growing polit.
ical power of the saloon, are among
the serious and threatening facts con-
nected with the maintenance of our
national life. Surely the time has

Alcoholics in Cooking.

In these days when total abstinence
Is becoming more popular, there is a

he dances down the chimney and sets

their most delicate dishes incomplete

PARALLEL STUDY IN HEREDITY
Most ForcefuI Presentment of Conse-

Prof. William E. Ashcraft, in an
Times, entitled THE Saloon" all of
which is well worth reading, gives the
following bit of interesting history:
%he most forceful p~resentmers of
the consequences of drink and the
blessings of a temperate life that l
have seen came to my desk a few
months ago in the shape. of a little
book giving a parallel study in heredi-
ty. Its title is "Jukes-Edwards," and
the author is DR.. A. E. Winship of
Boston. The story is that of two fam
lilies the n notorious and the other
noted The n is the family of Jukes,
a name given to a Hollander who came
to this country and settled in the state
of New York something like two GEN.
turtles ago, while the other is the fam
lily of Jonathan Edwards, the great
New England theologian and preacher
of colonial days.
Jukes was one of those fellows such
as is usually conspicuous about sa-
looms, yho got drunk on any occasion,
would swear innocently and tell a
dirty story in a way to make the boys
laugh. He was not regarded as a
good example, of course; and being
thought worse to himself than to any
/ n else, he was held as "good-heart-
ed" whatever that may lean. Jukes
married and became the first progeni-
tor of q family of about 1000 persons,
most of whom figured in the criminal
records of New York. Some of them
became thieves, some murderers,
many of them paupers. and many of
the women became prostitutes. The
family has cost the state of New York
In court trials, and for maintaining
them in poorhouses, asylums, jails and
penitentiaries. ~$1,250.O00. or over
$1,000 each.
The Edwards family. on the other
hand. reached the number of about
1,400 persons. They became famous
as college presidents, governors of
states. judges Of courts, congressman,
members of legislatures, railroad pres

rated as such. was Aaron Burr, jurist,

dency by only one electoral vote. The

&NAl&

Sorghum is an excellent Iced for
dairy cows.
A sorghum dairy ration will In
crease the flow of milk.
1t will pay any farmer or dairyman
having more than three good cows to
buy a good hand separator.
The ideal ration for the dairy COW
should include a mixture of grains,
or alfalfa hay and cut silage.
The cows ration must be governed
by her ability to eat, digest and as.
simulate her food and convert it into
milk.
II conditions in and ABOUT your COW
| stable are bad, look out for a visit
from some member of the dairy and
food commission.
You cannot expect to get good fla
yored milk or butter If COWS are kept
I'm a filthy stable and fed on poor, UNI
wholesome feed.
Heifers with their first calves are
nervous and can be induced to give
down their milk only by careful and
iudicious treatment.
1t Is not advisable TO return the calf
TO a heifer after it has been weaned.
BY doing so a habit is formed that
will remain with the COW through life.
Ropy or stringy milk is a fermenta.
ton and should not be confused with
garget. 1t develops after milk is
drawn and Is caused by bacterial
growth.
Have a regular stall for each COW.
put the mixed feed in the trough be-
fore opening the stable door; each one
will then go into her own stall and
can be battered without confusion.
SKINNED milk, used pure, fresh and
warm from the separator can be
turned to almost as much profit as the
cream from the milk, which will great.
ly increase the net profits In dairy.

SOME HISTORY OF HOLSTEINS
Cattle in America Are All Descend.
ants of or Direct Importations
From Holland.

The cattle called Holsteins in Amer
lea are all descendants of or direct i'm.
portations from Holland and nearly all
of them are from the provinces of
North Holland and Friesland, where
are found the types most pleasing to
Americans. writes Stanley Milward in
the Farmers Review. The antiquity of
the breed is so good. that history re-
cords no period when the shores of
the North sea and its inflowing rivers
were not noted for their great black
and white cattle. The Netherland
herd-book states that the pedigree of
these cattle dates back over 1000
