Unreliable Physioqnomy.

am a profound disbeliever in phys
iognomy. Features are false wit
nesses. Stupidity frequently wears a
mask of intelligence. l know bust
ness men who look like poets and
poets who look like business men.
Men Of genius invariably look like
idiots, and If you pick out the man
who looks most eminent in a party
you are sure to find he is a nobody.
l always distrust men who look mag
niicent. Nature is a stingy creature.
She seldom gives a man the double
gift of being great and looking great.
She took care to lame Byron and de-
form Pope and distlgure Johnson. But
the crowning example of her jealous
parsimony is Shakespeare. I have al
ways been disappointed with Shakes
peare's face. It does o live up to
his poetry. 1t is dull. heavy and com.
monplace in London.

MAKES TRAY SERVICE EASY
Meals Are Served In a
Room.

Where many meals are served in a
room it is well to hunt up some of
the novelties that make such service
easy.
Very new is a tray of white porce-
lain with silver or nickel trimmings.
This is fitted with grooves of the
metal in which are set two cups and
s%aucers, a tea pot, cream jug, butter
plate, toast rack, marmalade jar and
small breakfast plate.
Smaller but equally convenient is
a combination salt and pepper shaker
set in a little stand, which holds a
glass butter plate and knife. The
stand has a curved handle, which
makes it easy to lift from the main
tray when not in use.
Another convenience is the tea
spoon with perforations that make it
possible to send up a jug Of boil
ing water and have tea just the right
strength.

DON'T EXERCISE OUR TEETH
Reason Americans Have Such Poor
Grinders, According to a Dental
Authority.

The reason Americans have such
bad teeth is that they don't exercise
them enough, according to DR.. Her
bert L. Wheeler, president of the
American Dental Hygiene council,
who is delivering a course of lectures
at Columbia university. I'VE Amer
leans are living in the lap of luxury"
said DR.. Wheeler, in his opening lee
ture, "and our food is so we'll pre-
pared for us that we don't use our
mouths enough. Regular exercise for
the teeth is as beneficial as any other
kind of gymnastics"
He found from an examination Of
several hundred savages' teeth that
the increased work which their teeth
had been made to do had resulted ben.
eficially for their teeth. 1t was also
a fact that the front teeth of savages
were more worn than those of civil.
lied people, being that the savage cuts
his food with his teeth.

VIRGINIA CHICKEN SALAD
Correct Recipe for Dish That Is Pop.
uIar at Christmas and on Spe-
cial Occasions.

Here is the correct recipe for the
Genuine Virginia chicken salad. 1t is
served at Christmas and on other spe-
cial occasions: For making the dress
ing for this salad the chicken oil, skim
med from the water in which the
chickens are boiled, is used in place
of the olive oil. The chickens, which
must be plump, are simmered tender
in lightly sailed water. When cold
the skin and bones are removed and
the meat cut, not chopped, into small
bits. Mix with double the quantity of
celery cut from tender, well-bleached
stalks that have been crisped in ice
water, then dried in a clean towel,
minced and added to the mixture,
which is then dressed with a good
salad dressing, preferably m~ayonnaise,
md set On the ice to chill and ripen

ITCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

II suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first 1
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, etc., I found no relief what
ever. After that l diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of it's dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
of my scalp became so intense that 1
thought l should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching Of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials of cures by the C~uticura
Remedies, l decided to purchase a box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days l recognized a marked
change in my condition. l bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
n five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
n after a few days I was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter i will never
be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. 1 highly recommend
the Cuticura Remedies to anyone suf-
fering from similar skin eruptions and
hope you will publish my letter so
that others may learn of Cuticura
Remedies and be cured" (Signed)

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States n
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, 1t
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agr1-
cultural situation is n that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which 1t is we'll to face, that
on the American side of the border,
there is a vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with u somewhat de-
creasing proportion of food products.
This article is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become or
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, fax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards Of 10000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority Of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which 1t will within a few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring Is opening up well,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but 1t is
still away below it's earning capacity.
The immigration branch Of the Domin-
ion Government has just published its
1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may
be secured on application to the De.
partment Of the Interior, Ottawa,
Canada, or any of the agents of the
Dominion Government, whose adver-
tisement may appear elsewhere in this
paper.

Assessors Consider The Veterans
peal Can be Taken Board of Relief-Test Case Coming

The members of the board of as ssssors are busy at the present time
 ting their lists into proper shape
 nd viewing land and buildings about Ia town for the purpose of fixing the -oper valuation.
 Colonel John F. Murphy president of the board of assessors. stated on tuesday that the board is obliged to keep within the law, and in this con- nection he said that the board has been obliged to place the regular valu- alton on the property of soldiers. This was made necessary by the law pass cd by the last legislature. giving the veterans a pension of $30 instead of the abatement of $1, 900 on their prop, ernor Baldwin declared the law to be unconstitutional. and vetoed 1t, but it was passed over his veto. The matter Of tie payment of the S30 to veterans has since been declared unconstitu- tional by the attorney general, ard the comptroIler's office has been prevented from paying the pensions, though there were many applicants.
 Will Follow Hartford.
 Colonel Murphy was of the opinion that the local board would act along similar lines to what the Hartford as- eessors are doing. The assessors there said:
 We have consulted the corporation wholly and entirely by him. Our sym it is possible to accord them any ben ef1ts legally we will do it. But we are informed by the corporation counsel that the assessors have option in the matter but to omit the $1,000 ex- enIption. as that was repealed by the

assembly and is now the law of the state. The fact that the governor has said or the attorney general has said that the pension law is unconstitution- does the opinion of any man or men as individuals We are not permitted under the law to grant. the rebate of $1,000. but We will take measures to protect the old soldiers
 WiII Give Due Notice.
 In this connection we have thought of this plan When our lists are com pleted we will send a special notice to every old soldier or widow who has benefited under the law in the past, so peal to the board of relief. This will insure the rights of the petitioner when the law is changed. if in the meantime a reversal of the opinion of the attorney general has been secured from the supreme court. What we should like to see done is to have some prominent and public spirited individual take an appeal from the lave the validity of the pension law tested by the supreme court. We would like this done by the January term so that the decision might be ob- tained before the boards of relief of the state complete their sittings in February This would safeguard the rights of the soldiers. At any rate we will protect the rights to the best of OOE dD4ilSs Ol luS peISOI1S III our Ju- risdiction who were intended 10 be the beneficiaries of the law in this state-"
 A Test Case.
 It Is probable that there will be a test case brought to determine the matter. There was 8 meeting in New Haven about week ago of veterans from different parts of the state. A committee vas appointed to take charge of the plans and within week or two the first gun in the friendly battle will be fired.
 One veteran Tn New Haven is going to be the goat" His name has not been given out yet, but it is common talk among the old soldiers that he courts the publicity which the contest will cause, and is willing to sue the state of Connecticut The plan is for this individual to make formal de- mand upon the controller, of the state for payment Of his $30 claim. The state controller, naturally, will refuse to pay 1t, or refuse to take steps to see that it is paid when the proper time shall come for it's payment under the new law Then the suit will be brought.
