COSTUME OF FISH SKINS.

The dress is composed of several
layers of fish skin, the undermost rep
resenting the skin of the garment
proper, the uppermost showing the
ornaments in their cut-Out forms. Be
tween these TWO layers is inserted a
middle layer, which serves as a back
ground, throwing out distinctly all
parts Of the ornaments. The pieces

DECOY HIVES FOR BUSY BEE
Where Timber Is Small and Scarce
Box Will Prove Paying PROPOSE
tion-Easy to Arrange.

In a country where big timber is
plenty decoy hives will stand a poor
chance Of catching anything, but
where timber is small and scarce and
bees are consequently hard up for a
place to locate, decoy hives will prove
a paying proposition, says a writer in
the Michigan Farmer. AS there is
nothing about them but what any
farmer can easily arrange, there is no
reason why the man living in such a
place should not be supplied with
bees. All there is to do is to get some
hives fitted up with frames Of founda-
ton and one frame of old comb and
fasten 1t up in a tree in the edge of
the woods. The bees do the rest. OF
course you cannot expect that every
hive so put up will catch a swarm,

INFERIOR COTTON SEED MEAL
Low Grade, Containing Less Than 6.5
Per Cent of Nitrogen Should
Not Be Sold.

Cotton seed meal that contains less
than 6.5 per cent. of nitrogen or 50
per cent. Of protein should not be sold
in the south. The law in every south
ern state ought to prevent the sale
of low grade cotton seed meal. There
is no necessity for low grade meal
for feed or fertilizer.
It is true that the laws in the differ
erent states require that the guaran-
teed analysis of the meal be placed on
the sack. This information is sup
posed to give the farmer the neces-
sary information to protect him from
fraud. However, If the farmer is not
posted on the analysis Of cotton seed
meal, he will likely pay the price for
a number one meal and get a low
grade meal. The law is to protect the
farmer. If it fails to protect him, it
ought to be amended. There is no
necessity for low-grade meal and the
law ought to prevent the sale of such
meal.

brush down on the pasture land and
pay we'll for the privilege. If there is
plenty of bushes and briars in the
pasture, it will not be necessary to
feed them, but a little cotton seed
may be given them in bad weather.
The common goat is very profitable,
but the Angora is far superior to
them. The best and cheapest way to
obtain a herd Of Angoras is to buy a
lot Of common does, taking care to
select white ones as much as posi-
BILE. Then buy one thoroughbred An
CORA buck for every fifty does. You
will be surprised to see how quick you
can breed them into a herd of An
goras. The fifth cross from the COM
mon goat is considered full-blood, and
this can be reached in a very short
time. Get nothing but the best bucks
and the result will be mOhair that will
sell for from twenty to fifty cents per
pound and the best goat flesh. This
will also enable the farmers to supply
the markets with mutton" of an ex-
cellent quality.

MADE CITY OF TENEMENTS
How San Francisco Missed G~IorIoug
Opportunity In Rebuilding
After Fire.

In every city the cry Of regret fOk
the mistakes OF the past is heard.
says the Survey. But what OF a city
built on the hills-a city Of sunshine
and s~ea-given breezes, swept clean by
fire, to be built anew in this Twentieth
century? Surely the builders would
grasp their unrivaled opportunity.
What is San Francisco's reply-a city
Of small homes, a city of gardens?
Nc. A city Of tenements.
Looking back to April II, 1906, n
sees whole districts covered with
small houses, vine clad, fragrant with
flowers. On April IS the fire swept
the city, and before a month had
passed the builders were at work. Fast
they built. Shelter was needed. ex-
pediency and desire for gain were
paramount, and the smoking ruins
were covered with poorly constructed
buildings, several families crowding
into a space adequate for one.
In less han a year Thoughtful men
and women realized that San Fran
cisco was face to face with a housing
problem and that no law existed to
check the increasing abuses
Inflated LAND values based on the
earning capacity Of a small lot covered
by a three-family building in place OF
the former cottage have induced much
OF the rapid rebuilding of San Fran
cisco. For not alone in the poorer
districts, but in every quarter Of the
city, apartment houses, flats, multiple
buildings of every type have super
seded the single family house.

The gift to London by Mr.. Barrie of

in 1925 in the woo near Hamelin,
about % miles from Hanover. In the
words of contemporary pamphleteers
he was observed walking on his
hands and feet, climbing trees like a
squirrel, and feeding on grass and
moss" In November, 1925, he was
deposited in the hOuse of correction
at Zell, and in the same month he was
presented to George l.. who happened
to be on a visit to Hanover, The kings
interest and curiosity were excited,
but the wild boy was not favOrably
impressed and escaped to his wood
and tOok refuge in a lofty tree, which
had TO be cut down before he was re-
captured. In the spring of 1726 by the
kings command he was brought to
England and exhibited to the nobil-
ity." The boy, who appeared to be
about fourteen years old, was baptized
and committed to the care of DR.. Ar
buthnot, but he soon proved to be an
1mbecile and could not be taught to
articulate more than a few monosyl-
tables. He became a strong, muscular
man. but his intellect always remained
dormant.

TWO HAIRDRESsINGS YEARLY

In Abyssinia the dressing of a young
woman's hair is effected in the follow
ing manner: The girl seats herself
upon the ground; another woman,
armed with a wooden comb, squats be-
fore her. With this weapon she at
tacks the knots, pulling and Juggling
at them until they are Strengthened
out in some light degree. Then a por-
ton of the hair is caught up at the
nape of the neck; the remainder is
permitted to remain loose upon the
shoulders. This couture Is supposed
to remain in order for some time, as
the process is repeated only once or
twice a year.

and arrested three drivers, declaring
that the horses were in no fit condi-

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Should Never Be Removed With
Poisonous, Pasty Compounds Be-
cause They Are Dangerous
and Increase the Growth.

The preparations above referred to
are invariably in the form Of creamy
pastes. These are easily recognized
by their pale grayish- h-greenish color.
They are to be spread upon the skin
to remain until they are dry. These
contain Sulphido of Barium, an in
soluble chemical, which cannot be
dissolved, therefore cannot be alb
sorbed by the skin The very fact
that you are told to leave these pasty
compounds on the skin until they dry
and cake and then lift off with a knife
is proof positive that they are not alb
sorbed. If they are why do they still
remain on the skin? The most they
can possibly do is to remove the sur
face hair, which in consequence will
reappear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
There is only one logical and scien-
tific way to remove hair and that is
by means of a liquid containing
soluble ingredients which can be abb
sorbed by the skin. De Miracle,
known all the World over as the only
real superfuous hair remover, is just
such preparation. II is easily
and quickly absorbed, and after you
have used It you will note there is
nothing left on the skin IL leaves
the skin free from irritation, and what
is more TO the point, It is absolutely
non-poisonous, therefore il will not
produce eczema or blood poisoning
/ Remember, no matter what claims
are made to the contrary, no poison
Gus, pasty compound or so-called
"liquid cure" ever did or ever will
! destroy a single hair root, and we
can prove it.
The extravagant claims recently
made by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
Of hair removers in sensational ad-
vertisements unquestionably justify
physicians in cautioning the public
against the use of this class Of depila-
tories. How many people have been
enticed into using these dangerous
preparations with consequent injury
| to themselves cannot be estimated,
| but only guessed at, therefore beware
Of fake free advertisers and others,
who by wording OF their advertise
ments, try to give the impression that
newspapers and other reputable
publications endorse their worthless
/ preparations. Don't be deceived by
them. De Miracle is the only pre-
paration which is so endorsed.
De Miracle is sold at all good stores,
/ including Miller Drug Co.
No honest dealer will offer you a
substitute on which he makes more
profit.
We will send you a 52-page booklet
containing full information concern
ing this remarkable treatment, as well
as testimonials of prominent physi-
clans. surgeons, dermatologists. medi-
