1T is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, SO essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only matter of little
thoughtful care in the selection OF
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do SO much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. "a L, Bos-
ton, will secure liberal sample of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

Our little town o. Biueberryville Is
right up to date an about as progress
sive an public-speerited as any town
in the state,' said Zedekiah Brush. as
he drove over the hills with the sum-
mer bcarder.
Fact is, some OF us think the Sc
lec'men use the tax money little too
freely keepin' nace with the speerit
of progress that seems to be in the
air nowadays. Here, in the last year,
the town hall has had a new roof. an
new boss shed has been built around
the church, an a new handle put in
the town pump, an bridge costin'
most 5000. has been built over Plum
Crick The town clock has been put
in repair at cost of $3.50. an
they've put three dozen new books in
the town liberty. an now they are
talkin' of offerin' a firm a bonus O.
$500 to start a pickle factory in the
town. Once lot o. selec'men git
the progressive fever, an the tax

in our town."-Jndge.

Young calves need whole milk for
che first few days. The calf should
always have the first or colostrum
milk of the COW and be allowed to
nurse the COW until the eighth or
ninth ,milking, when the milk is
suitable for human food Feed often
with small amounts to avoid over
feeding. Teach the calf to drink and
feed whole milk for at least three
weeks. changing to a skim milk diet
gradually. ~
The amount of milk fed should be
carefully regulated. A good plan
with the normal calf is to give four
pounds 1.-TWO quarts) of whole milk
three times per day, fed sweet and at
blood temperature. In the state of
nature the calf gets milk containing
about three per cent. fat. Our domes-
ticated cows have been bred in some
instances to give nearly twice this

and in feeding such milk care should
be exercised to give limited amounts

tinued for about three or four weeks,

Kid gloves that are too tight should
be folded for a short time in a piece
of wooden cloth that has been dipped

warm and damp, they can easily be
drawn on the hands. Gloves that have
shrunk in cleaning respond readily to
this treatment.

PROOF OF THE MAN.

Unthinking and self-engrossed
young womanhood is apt to plume
itself on a lovers devotion so COM
plete that it leaves no room for even
common courtesy to the rest Of the
world.
This type of girl rather prides
herself on the passion she has in
spired, when her lover brushes care
lessly past any woman to get to her,
and all the time if she knew men,
she might feel a pang Of fear az
to her own future.
Once the fever of his love dream
is over, just with the careless dis
courtesy with which he treats other
women will her lover treat her after
marriage.
The best proof that a man will
prove as kind and considerate hus-
band as he is in his unfailing cour-
tesy and consideration to all women.
Because he loves one does not
make q gentleman less gentle but
more.
