some sections that all the roads of a
township can be dragged within three
hours time. The farmers are called up
by telephone and all turn out at one
time, soon making an end Of the Job.
There are now hundreds of com
munities where all of the farmers turn
out en- masse to harrow and drag the
roads without any direct money COM
%pensation. In some places they are
allowed SO cents a mile for the work.
1t Is easy to stimulate active interest

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

81 have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a NURSE
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance,
I always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case in llrttcular
was that Of a lady friend Of MS who,
when a child, was afflicted with &C.
zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter-
walls with severer torture. She could
not go to school as the Disagreement
looked terrible. 1 told her to get at
once a set of the Cuticura Remedies.
After the S Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and l used the Cuticura Ointment.
1t made his arm as timber and nice,
whereas it was quite stiff before I
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May 1 had IN ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right down
in the side of my toe. 1 cut the nail
out of the cavity it made, and Of
course applied the Cuticura Ointment
to the part affected. 1t soothed it and
in less than ten nights it was all
healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago, 1 had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is recover
ing nicely. 1 will gladly furnish the

LOG DRAG is VERY USEFUL
Greatest Invention of the Age and Has
Great Value In Its Power to

The log drag, simple as 1t is. Is the
greatest invention of the age, counting
the amount of good that al be done
with it at SO small a cost. Probably
the next best tool to the drag for dirt
roads is the common field harrow.
The great value Of the road drag,
especially the one with a cutting
blade, is in it's power Of moving dirt
and grading as well as surfacing and
compacting the road. Either with dry
dirt or with mud. two teams to a good
drag can push more dirt to the center
of a road than can possibly be done
with any other tool. When nee
graded a perfect road grade can easily
be maintained with the use Of the

FASHIONS TO CHANGE
If DESIGNERS AND DRESSMAk.
Frs CAN DO 1T.
What Is to Come Is Hard to Pre-
dIct-Present Styles Are Popular
With Wearers, at Least-Re-
vival Of Taffeta.

The Paris season has run its gay
course, winding up in the whirl of its
great week; in London the corona
ton and its attendant social functions
are past, and on this side of the wa
ter broiling hot weather has brought
forth all the midsummer chiffons and
set things humming at the various
summer resorts.
For the folk vitality Interested ir
the modes the last word has been said
regarding summer fashions, and al
ready they are concerned with the
early Paris openings and projected
novelties for the autumn, yet they
study the summer frocks closely, fol
in the latest of these lie hints of au
tumn probabilities, and if one is buy
er or designer or maker one must not
be caught mapping.
Nothing Is certain concerning rad.
ical changes. The prophet who says
otherwise is bluffing, but 1t seems like
ly that those leaders in the dress
making world who have most to do
with launching new modes will make
a desperate effort to effect very con
siderable changes this fall.
The prosperity of the trade demands

seasons past for a woman to wear an
old frock without appearing actually
out of the fashion, and that is a thing
painful to manufacturers, merchants
ool Irorcp,oEaro Onponfhfno really
must be done to relegate all last win
ter's frocks to outer darkness, and
the only effective way of accomplish
ing this is to bring about a decided
change in the silhouette. Mere change
of detail will not be enough.
But this change of silhouette can
not be brought about, too abruptly.
The women who wear the clothes do
have something to say about them,
and the women have chung rather
tenaciously to the straight, narrow
silhouette, with its scant skirt and
simple bodice and close clipped
shoulders and high waist line.
To win them from their allegiance
will be a work of diplomacy and the
designers have been experimenting
gently for some months past. Here
and there one has seen a skirt with a
trife more amplitude than the major
ity, a ~noticeably smart frock with
natural waist line defined. Flounces
and plaitings have crept into use,
though SO fiat and limp are they that
they do not seem aggressive.
The Marie Antoinette fichu has been
used upon the narrow, scant. high
wasted models of 1911, but perhaps
it may be al entering wedge for the
long waist and skirt amplitude of it's
own period. The revival of taffeta and
the trimmings of the early Victorian
period-ruchings, shirred cords, puff
fling, etc.-may be another opening
wedge, though now all this Is set in
tune with the silhouette of last spring
1t will be interesting to see the re-
suits, but for the moment the modes
are amusingly eclectic, and where ul-
tra-smart folk congregate one is likely
to see frocks limiting at many periods,

MAKING PROFIT IN PEANUTS

Used In Rotation.

Any soil that will raise good corn
Will raise peanuts. but the best results
are obtained from light, sandy soils.
II planted In heavy soils the nuts are
sometimes stunted. Peanuts should
not be planted on the same soil year
after year.. but should be used In ro-
tation.
1t Is better to manure the land in
the fall and pillow 1t with a disk and
harrow thoroughly the next spring.
Mako the seed bed as fine as a garden
bed. Plant the seeds In rows about
two and one-half feet apart.
The crop is harvested by near OF
forks, the plants being lifted out OF
the ground and the dirt taken from
the COOLERS and the vines thrown In
a heap. Five or six rows can be
placed In one winrow. The vines are
then shocked around a pole thrust into
the ground and cross pieces should be
nailed to the poles and the vines piled
up lightly to provide circulation OF
air. Boards or straw should be laid on
the ground SO that the vines should
not touch the soil.
The nuts must be allowed to sit In
the shock until thoroughly cured.
They can her be taken to the barn
where the nuts arc picked by hand or
they can be picked in the field If the
weather Is fine. There are machines
for threshing peanuts, but these are
not used except when large crops are
grown.
Peanuts are easy to grow and make
a profitable crop. They are sold
mostly to roasters who prepare them
for eating, although a large amount OF
peanut oil is made every year as a
substitute for olive oil. Peanut butter
Is also coming into favor and large
quantities of nuts are sold for this
purpose.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a 1u
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out In the Sunfiowel
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grapefruit:
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuti
has been a prominent feature in oul
bill of fare.
1.-THE crisp food with the delicious
nutty flavor has become an indis
pensable necessity In my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive OF
disease it is beyond value. l have been
particularly impressed by the bench
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin e%ruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
p~erience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
isles the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue. while its
Use involves none Of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow
