]. Harry Young, Commissioner

Mr.. J. Harry Young, prominent
business man of Pocomoke City, has
been appointed to the vacancy in the
Board of County Commissioners caused
by the death of John l.. Robins, Esq.
Governor Crothers has commissioned
Mr.. Young, and he came to Snow Hill
last Tuesday, qualified before the Clerk
of the Circuit Court, and took his seat
with the other members of the Board.
Mr.. Young was congratulated upon his
appointment and given the right hand
of fellowship by the other Commission
ers.
1t was generally conceded that POGO
moke ought to have member of the
Board of County Commissioners, and the
appointment of Mr.. Young is the out
come of the desire to see representation
therefrom. Mr.. Young is engaged in the
milling business, and has been quite sue
cessful. He is member of the Pocomoke
City Council. and is recognized as one
of the progressive men of the commu-
nifty. He is staunch Democrat and
has our best wishes that the duties OF
his Office may prove to his liking. We
feel sure he will serve the county well
and faithfully.

Asking For Additional Train
Service.

BY appointment, a delegation repre-.
senting the several towns south of
Georgetown, waited on General Passen-
ger Traffic Manager j. r. Wood, of the
Pennsylvania X. r., in his Office at
Broad Street Station on Friday after
noon, April l4th. The delegation pre-
scented petitions signed by several hun
dred patrons of the d. M. & v. Branch
of the road requesting additional pas
senger service, and consisted Of Joseph
H. Rowley, Chincoteague ]. T. Sharp
ley, Franklin City, representing the
towns in Virginia; George l.. Barnes,
Girdletree, VIM. ID. Corddry, Jr., and
VIM. c. Powell, Snow Hill, representing
the towns in Maryland Charles Moore,
Georgetown, Littleton Bishop, Dagsboro,
representing the towns in Delaware.
The Company was requested to put on
train to leave Franklin City between
5 and 6 o'clock p. M, and in addition to
this train to leave Harrington, south
bOhius uPou diiNat VI TRAM lCdNhik
Philadelphia at 10 o'clock A. NJ, for
points South between Harrington and
Franklin City.
1t was argued that the towns below
Georgetown were very much handi-
capped by not having late afternoon
train going north, not only for local
service, but as an additional train for the
large cities.
The committee was very courteously
received, and told that the matter would
be given due consideration, after which
it would be informed whether or not it
was possible for the Company to grant
the request.
If this arrangement asked for is con-
summated it will give Snow Hill train
arriving here at 8 o'clock, southbound.
and one leaving about o'clock in the
evening, going north, in addition to the
present service.

PlMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS

q was troubled with acne for three long years. My face was the only part affected, but it caused great disfigure- ment, also suffering and loss of sleep. At first there appeared red, hard pimples which later contained white matter. I suffered a great deal caused by the itching. I was in a state of perplexity when walking the streets or anywhere before the public.
 q used pills and other remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told me to try the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment I sent for Cuticura Booklet which I read care fully. Then I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and by following days. l used Cuticura Soap for wash ing my face, and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. This treatment brought marvellous results so I continued with it for few weeks and was cured completely. I can truthfully say that the Cuticura Rem- edies are not only all, but more than they claim to be-" (Signed) G. Bau- mel, 1915 w. 20th Place, Chicago, H., May 2S, 1911.

EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH?
They Are as Good for the Soul, Holmes Says, as Water for
 the Body.

One must be educated. no doubt, to understand the more complex and diff fcult kinds of musical composition. Go to the concerts where you know that the music is good, and that you ought to like it whether you do or not. Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body. I wouldn't trouble myself about the affeetations of people who go to this or that series of concerts chiefly because it is fashionable. Some of these people whom We think so silly will perhaps find, sooner or later, that they have a dormant faculty which is at last waking up, and that they who came because others came, and began by staring at the audience, are listening to a newly found de- light. Everyone of us has harp un- der the bodice or waistcoat, and if it can only once get properly strung and tuned it will respond to all outside harmonies.-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

butter made from a cows milk is not always an accurate indicator of her production. If the butter-maker leaves 20 per cent of water in his butter the cows record will show up much bet ter than if he keeps the water down to 15 per cent. If we give cows rec ords in terms of butter the amount of moisture in the butter must also be stated, whereas if given in terms of butter fat the record is absolute, and no analysis to determine moisture in butter is necessary The COW pro duces butter fat; man makes butter out of it. It is the cows product and not what somebody makes out of it that should be credited to the COW But our correspondent wants to know how much butter COW gives. If the butter is properly made the amount of fat will be about fve-sixths of the quantity of butter. Some calculate that the fat is four-fifths of the butter, but butter only so per cent fat cannot be legally sold.-National Stockman and Farmer

Carinu for Cream.

The dairy bureau of the department of agriculture at Washington recently received letters from nearly 300 creameries, located in 27 states, in which they report the amount of sour or off-favored cream received to be from 2 to 100 per cent. of the total re. ceipts, and the average shows 60 per cent. of the cream to be of inferior quality
 In order to overcome the great loss necessarily sustained from the sale of the butter made from poor cream a large number of creameries are now buying cream and paying for 1t ac- cording to quality. and they are re- ceiving premium for the finest but ter.

It is well known that milk absorbs impurities.
 Don't shut the cows from the stable or shed too early
 Don't breed heifers too young unless ycu wish a dwarfed breed
 Mixers should wash their hands thoroughly before milking.
 Never let cans of milk stand in the sun awaiting transportation.
 Milk should be left in the bottle in which 1t has been delivered, unti, used.
 COW that is a small eater will bear watching She is pretty sure to be a small producer
 The warmer the milk the quicker the bacteria multiply and the quicker the milk will sour.
 A herd of good dairy COWS is the best insurance against hard times or slump in prosperity.

 It is quite customary among dairy men to quit feeding calves skim milk when they attain the age of eight to nine months.

PROPER CARE OF CREAM
Excellent Plan Is to Have Shotgun Can for Each Milking and deliver
 Good, Clean Product.

It is useless to ask your butter maker to turn out first class product with cream that has been abused be fore it is delivered
 Of course, the cream must be kept cool all the time. You cannot make a good product by keeping it in a warm room.
 A better way to take care of the cream is to have shotgun can for each milking Just before going to the factory, empty all this into the shipping can and deliver a good, clean product.
 If you must keep the separator in the barn. have good, tight partition making a clean. sanitary separator room
 Harmful bacteria may be harbored in the filth upon the walls and floor of the separator room. See that there is no filth there.

NEW TREATMENT OF SCOURS
Mysterious Disease Among Calves Successfully Treated by Prof. Will
 son of Canadian College.

A somewhat important step in vet erinary medicine has been made by Professor Wilson of the Harper-Ad- ans Agricultural college, says the Canadian Farm. Some farmers in Salop had suffered heavy loss by mysterious disease among their calves which was so deadly that not one es- capped. They showed signs of illness at about two days old and got worse until they died about a week later. The farmer who appealed to the college for assistance had never been able to rear a single calf of his own breeding. Those bought at fortnight old did quite well. Professor Wilson after post-mortem examinations diagnosed 1t as form of septicaemia or blood poisoning, and after an intellectual attempt to shut out the malignant germs by igation and disinfection of the naval cords, hit upon the idea of giving tactic acid bacilli in skinned milk during the first day and gradual ly introducing the dams milk but still continuing the tactic acid bacilli until the ninth day, when ordinary rations were reached This treatment has been singularly successful and not a single calf has been lost since. What Is of more general importance. however, Is that this treatment is proving effective in the much more prevalent disease. white SCOUTS in calves. and the principle may not stop here. Setting bacilli to kill bacilli may yet prove a fundamental principle in animal medicine and it Is possible that great developments may arise out Of investigations along these lines,

 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med ieine we know of has such a record of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing woman's ills such as indamma- ton, alteration, fibroid tumors, irreg- charities, periodic pains and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life.
