A Pretty Table.

Take a round piece of wood twice
the size of the mouth of a coffee cup,
piece of the stout limb Of poplar
that has been Topped would be nice;
saw It about the height you would like
your table. allowing for the thickness
OF two barrel ends. one for the top,
one for the foot, which may be small
er, which would be much better.
Fasten each Of them securely with
two clamps of wood. leaving room be-
tween to nail them on to the large
log. Nail on each end Of the chunk
with few stout wire nails, leaving
the clamps on the side that goes onto
the leg. One barrel end will be for
a foot, the other for a top. Take a
piece of cretonne or furniture cotton;
pleat 1t very fully and tack II on
around the top with preventive tacks
and any old brand of binding: catch
II in half way between the top and
bottom with piece Of old bright rib
bon, tying a bow on the front side;
then tuck under every three pleats to
the foot: cover the top with any old
discarded piece of goods you have
and cover with a center piece.

MARcUsE, CALIFORNIA,
LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING.

Marcuse Colony, located in Suffer
County, which is in the heart OF the
Sacramento Valley, IL fast coming TO
the front as a farming community in
which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil is a dark, sandy loan,
sedimentary In character, level and
well drained. 1t has the advantage
over other soils in that It is loose in
character and superior to heavy soils.
With this wealth of soil, abundance
OF water, unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means, the worn out pro-
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for a small farm In healthful
climate.
The proximity of Marcuse Colony to
Sacramento, furnishes a ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vegetables,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall Ia
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced. but
crop failures in other sections of the
United States will bring new settlers
in rapidly. This. together with the
holding of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco during 1915,
is bound to raise the price, and wheth'
er for home, or for an investment,
now is the time to purchase. Land
may be had in tracts suitable to the
means of all and the results obtained
are almost beyond belief. Further In
formation will be gladly furnished by

Sunday Dinner Market.

This seemed such capital idea foi
making money that give the outline,
hoping some Ladies Aid or guild
will be benefited thereby. The
scheme was carried out in a suburb
and the sales lasted every Saturday
during the month of August. Booths
were erected upon the lawn and the
committees were formed by taking
the names alphabetically. Sai-
ads, cold meats. rolls, bread. cakes.
cookies. jams and jellies. mayon-
naise. candies and cheese crackers
were always made and orders taken
for anything In the home cooking line.
Young housekeepers found the sales
a great help and strangers at nearby
boarding houses and hotels patronized
them for cup of tea and sandwich
or dish of homemade sherbet. There
were young girls to serve and the ar
rangements were so perfected that
the burden was not heavy upon any
one. A goodly sum was added to the
treasury. all made by a little extra
effort during the summer.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then 1t would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until 1t was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes Of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out In little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and nave
never known them to fail to cure what
/ put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Slgned) Mrs. F. e. Har-
mon. R. F. ID. 2, Atoka. Tenn. Sept.

Ointment are sold everywhere, sam

The other girl was not aware OF

Richeson's previous career and have
found that in some ways he was n

Richeson is tall. slender, dark and
Apollo-like in appearance. His Is the
fascinating suavity Of the typical
southe -ner. He has a voice of a
well trained actor He is Of poetic
