Along the line of planting seed Mr..
Dodds gave US a few pointers which
would be valuable TO every man who
is planting cotton. He claims that
the seed is the most important part
about starting a cotton crop and We
believe he is correct He says plant
ing seed should be procured from the
very first cotton that opens, not
waiting until the small bolls in the
top of the cotton is open, many of
them being frost bitten and not ma
tured. thereby getting a seed from
the Wen matured and very earliest
cotton. He says he has known peo-
pie at the time he was operating the
gins to bring in cotton that had been
picked after the freezes or old frost

cotton however, he thinks that next
season after this seed has acclimated

his other early vrieties. Mr.. Dodds
has made a speciality of early maturing
cotton for several years and is ex-
pertinent with all the different
early varieties that he can hear of.

The Secret Of Keeping
The Skin Wrinkle Free
From American Family Journal.l

The great secret of keeping the face
smooth, wrinkle-free and refined in tex
ture is to use an effective astringent
when the skin shows a tendency to be-
come loose or the pores to enlarge. The
best thing of the kind Is simple solution
made by dissolving an ounce Of powdered
saxoIite in a half-pint witch-hazeL Used
as a wash lotion, this promptly tightens
the skin, which, Of course, smooths out
the lines and wrinkles and reduces too
large pores.
Large pores, by the way, are respon-
sible for blackheads, being so easily
clogged with dirt and CRIME. The lotion
referred to Is therefore an effectual black
head preventive. It Is also valuable In
cases of sagging cheeks and chin. the
astringent action, Of course, serving to
draw in'' the folds and obliterate the
creases. Saxolite now being sold by drug
gists generally in this country. any Wom-
ap can make this lotion hsrsslt
