Constable Jim Casey Is very much
peeved because he is unable TO find a
justice OF the peace who will let him use
his court room for an office. There are
six justices and as many constables in
Omaha. Five Omaha constables and one
from Dundee just fill up the six offices
and leaves Casey out in the cold.
Casey says he Is going TO revive the
Judge Scott decision which prohibits out
side constabies from acting any place but
where they are elected II this is put
into effect II will put Constable King Of
Dundee out and leave vacancy where
Casey can step In. If Casey don't sue

Holland a Land of Flowers.

There are two Hollands, one Of tho
likes and windmills, and one of the
flowers, that is seen by comparatively
few, says Country Life in America.
Ehe Holland of the flowers Is a thing
Of the past each year by the time the
average traveller gets around that way,
which, as rule, is July or August.
So early as February the annual
flower pageant gets a start with the
rare Tulipa haufmanniana, winter
aconite and snowdrops, until 1t makes
its first grand demonstration with
scilla and crocus in March. Then in
the glory of the tulip and hyacinth
comes the greatest burst of color, fol-
lowed by the Spanish iris, early gladio-
lus and lily to provide an anti-climax
that runs over into June. But for
sheer gorgeousness, nothing can match
the heydey of the tulip, the banner
bulb of Holland.

l y HELPS III
WINDOW BOXES IN euAYERE
How They Brighten Up the Town In
Switzerland Where the Cheese
Comes From.

Those who think all the delights OF
Switzerland lie among the high Alpine
peaks or in the Joy of winter sports
will find upon visiting it that much
of its strong appeal lies in the pic
turesque charm of its farm and viii
lage scenes.
Famous for its chocolate and
cheese works, the town of La Guayere
still clings to its ancient customs and
surroundings. Many of the houses
date back to the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries, while the chateau Of
the Counts of La Guayere is of an
even earlier period.
Ancient buildings, however, soon be-
come commonplace to the European
traveller, says Country Life in Amer
lea, and SO probably the first thing
one notices in this interesting vii
lage is the prevalence of window
boxes.
They are everywhere No matter
how old or tumbledown the house may
be, there are always Towering plants
in the window, and they brighten up
the whole town wonderfully Gay col
ors are the rule; pink and red ge-
raniums are most common, although
one sees a few nasturtiums and car
nations, with an occasional hydrangea.
Unlike American window boxes,
which are boxes in actually contain
ing a considerable quantity of soil,
these usually found in Switzerland are
sort of grated box, with sides much
like picket fence, in which potted
plants are placed. These boxes are
either set upon the broad window sill
itself or just outside upon brackets
secured to the wall of the house.
When there are very heavy storms
which might do damage to the plants
the blinds may be closed to afford pro-
lection in the former case or the pots
may be taken indoors by one in the
latter.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced 1t chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever Four weeks
after We began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured don't believe anyone could
lave eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
Cdies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
luss until 7 would treat him thew
seemed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
eura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
Ommendation" (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept.
20 X, Boston.

MAKE THE SUBURBS PRETTY
.UnsIghtIness In Development Usually
Due to Greed of Spectators
and Promoters.

The unattractiveness of most su-
burban development lies, first, in the
fact that the land is hopelessly sub
divided into uniform and mDnotonous
units admitting of little or no variety,
excepting by an expenditure of money
which the investment does not justify;
hence the attempt to obtain variety by
stunts and detail, much of which Is
tawdry, John M. Carrere writes in
Country Life in America.
Secondly, the designing of these
houses, which has been mostly in the
hands Of spectators and promoters,
has not usually been intrusted to archi-
tects Of skill, and has not been devel-
oped with the idea of elevating and
developing public taste, but rather OF
catering to passing fancies.
Assuming four lots, each 80 feet
wide, If, instead Of building, as usual,
four houses with a narrow frontage
and extending back into the lot-all
in a row, with small garden in front,
contracted space separating them,
and ugly yards in the back-it were
planned to place the two end houses
with narrow fronts and extending
back, and the two middle houses set
back and designed with broad fronts,
thus forming a court, composition
would Immediately be possible, and
better distribution Of light, air and
grounds-whether for ornamental or
merely back yard purposes-would
Immediately result without any inter-
ference Of property lines or Of light
easements.

WRONG SORT
Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and
Bread May Be Against You
for a Time.

A change to the right kind of food
in Weldon, ILL.,, says:
Last spring l became bed-fast with
severe stomach troubles accompanied
by sick headache. l got worse and
worse until l became so low 1 could
scarcely retain any food at all, al
though l tried about every kind.
Il had become completely discour-
aged, and given up all hope, and
thought l was doomed to starve to
death, until one day my husband, try
ing to find something l could retain,
brought home some Grape-Nuts.
ITO my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress. l began to gain strength
at once. My flesh (Which had been
habby), grew firmer, my health i'm
proved in every way and every day,
and in a very few weeks l gained 20
pounds in weight.
II liked Grape-Nuts so we'll that for
four months l ate no other food, and
always felt as well satisfied after eat
ing as if l had sat down TO a fine ban
quet.
81 had no return of the miserable
sick stomach nor of the headaches,
that l used to have when l ate other
food. l am now a well woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that
life is worth living.
