HAD NO FEARS.

At the height of Washington's fame
there were those who carped and crit
icised to some extent. warning him
that being a celebrity was a precari-
Gus thing and that he should be most
careful, lest he do or say something
that would turn the tide of popular
favor against hin. To these admoni
tons Washington merely smiled.
There is Just one thing that might
be done" he said, land that is some
thing that will not be done until long
after am dead. By that time my
fame will be so solidified that nothing

Endive Not Hard to Grow.

Endive may be sown early in cold
frames or in the open ground like let
tuce. Sowing may also be made at
any time during the summer although
plants grown In the heat of midsum-
mer have not the best quality. Fall
grown plants may be taken up with
good supply of adhering earth and
stored in a dry cellar for winter use.
There are several distinct varieties of
endive, those having smoothe leaves
being the larger and coarser The
finely cut and curled varieties, and
more particularly those with natural
ly whitened leaves, are most attrac-
tive and usually most tender.

Pieplant Easy to Grow.

Pieplant is easily produced In a
commercial way, yields immensely.
and is easily gathered and put into
shape for the market. 1t can be
shipped almost any distance. Then.
too, the demand for it on the market
makes 1t one of the two best vege.

is usually set in rows four feet apart
and two and one-heif feet in the rows.

BABYS 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 it 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 it kept spreading until it was on

boxes Of ointment, gave him blood

got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
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 Cuticura
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put

The scarcity of help is preventing
the agricultural development Of the
country, and is especially against the
extension of the dairy industry. There
seems to be no remedy unless women
and girls of the cities and towns will
take to farm anu field work. at least
through the summer. The few who
are doing it confess to making good
money easily and with the gain in
health and strength. and without loss
of independence. position or dignity.

Manufacturers Are
Planning Boost for
Omaha Made Goods
Discussion of Project is Held at the
Friday Noon Luncheon Of the
Organization.

Members OF the Omaha Manufacturers
association are warming up in fine shape
to the proposition Of exhibiting homemade
pI oducts some time next fall. Enthusiastic
discussions followed at Friday moons
luncheon and several good suggestions
We're made.
A scheme originating with Roy T. Byrne
and dwelt upon at considerable length is
TO secure display windows in the down
town stores for the exploitation of Omaha
made goods, and IT was further suggested
that these exhibits should be made during
Ak-Sar-Ben week.
Henry Gering presented his views and
some information he had CLEANED relative
to giving a big manufacturers parade dur
ing this same week. He said that the
Ak-Sar-Ben management is willing to fur
nish all the music and the advertising, and
set aside a special day for the parade.
This idea met with the hearty approval OF
all present, and more than two-thirds of
the membership has expressed willingness
to furnish floats for the parade
F. F. Sanborn laid special stress on the
Importance OF such an undertaking, and he
said that the parade should be made big
and good. T. b. Coleman also expressed
his hearty approval Of both the parade and
the display scheme.
] ON motion of Secretary Gering all the
suggestions shall go to the executive com
mittee, which will be instructed to make
full report in two weeks.
