RESULTS WITHOUT STONE.
Good Roads Being Built by Using
Draos and Concrete Cuiverts.

There isn't perch of surface stone
in Scotland county, Mo-. but its i'll
habitants do not despair of getting
good roads Not only have the county
commissioners voted for poll tax Of
Sc this year, but many farmers have
volunteered to drag the roads.
In the county are 1000 miles of dirt
roads. Concrete culverts are replac-
ing the plank bridges which have
been In use since the county first was
organized. Big crops have been raised
in the county this year, and many
farmers have paid their poll tax in
cash rather than work on the roads
Nearly all of the money which has
been received from this source is be-
ing spent by the county commissioners
in building modern concrete culverts.
More than half Of the roads in the
county lie flat The roads have been
built with good drainage and are in
condition that is good compared with
what they were before they were grad
ed. 1t has been estimated by mer-
chants Of Memphis. the county seat
that the new effort for good roads has
added SIS to the value of every farm
which adjoins the improved roads.

SUBSTITUTES FOR SOAP.
How to Protect Tender Skins When
BATHING In Cold Weather.

Persons whose skins are irritated in
cold weather by the use of soap should
try substituting various cleansing mix
lures which may be put into the BATH
water.
One mixture which is liked by MANI
women who possess delicate skins is
made from one pound of transformations
flowers, one-quarter of Il pound OF
hyssop herb and four pounds of bran
-four. The ingredients should be thor
oughly mixed dry in basin, and then
about two heaping tablespoonfuls
should be put into bag.
The bags to hold this compound
should be made from cheesecloth. They
may be about six inches square. They
need not be filed with the mixture, for
a smaller quantity will be sufficient to
soften the water, and the mixture II
too much is used will be lost, as Il bag
can be employed only twice.
To get the best results the BAG
should be in the tub at least half an
hour before the bath. and while bath
ing the little sack should be used rs Il
piece Of soap.
For this purpose oatmeal is excel
lent, but if it Is to be a soap s,ibsti-
tute the grains must be cooked for fiji
teen or twenty minutes to allow the
starch to come out more quickly. The
meal should be cold before being com
bined. with the other ingredients.
One such oatmeal bath formula re-
quires to five pounds Of grain one
pound each of powdered Florentine or
ris root and almond meal and one-half
pound Of CASTLE soap reduced to a
powder. The almond meal may be
omitted if desired. It's presence great
ly increases the cost of the mixture.
Camphor is excellent for the skin,
being softening and whitening One
way of employing it is to put one-half
ounce of tincture of benzoin and two
ounces Of alcohol with one ounce OF
tincture of camphor.
Enough of this must be used In the
bath to make the water slightly
cloudy. Soap may be employed with
this compound.
