WHERE THEY DRAW THE LINE.
Naturally Men Disapprove Of Extrava-
gance When Their Own Purse
Is Concerned.

Mrs. William B. Leeds, who took
Mrs. George Keppel's house in Lon
don for the coronation season, came
from New York with 40rhuge trunks,
all the same size, all mounted with
shining brass, all claret-colored, and
all as lustrous as the body of a motor
car.
Mrs. Leeds. as her 40 trunks imply,
dresses very beautifully. She spends
a large amount on her wardrobe, and
discussing the fact that woman's
dress is SO much more expensive and
so much less durable than mems, she
once said:
we women dress foolishly, and we
will continue to do so till men disap-
prove; but she smiled on the men
at the table"no man in the world
ever disapproved of dress extrava-
gance In a woman unless she hap
pened to be his wife. = Detroit Free

DIFFICULT HABIT TO REMEDY
Only Way to Stop Calves Of Sucking
Each Others Ears 10 to Keep
Them Separated.
(By R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
One of the most difficult habits to
overcome in bunch of young calves
IS that Of ear sucking When we feed
calves milk from a pail they eat SO
eapidly that they fail to relieve the
mouth of the saliva which naturally
mixes with its mothers milk while 1t
Is sucking.
In order to relieve their mouths of
this secretion which their organs of
digestion demand they will seek some
thing to suck which will relieve their
mouths of the saliva which has been
retained to large extent and their
favorite object is the ear of the calf
next to them
Unless this is prevented the calf is
likely to grow up with the habit of
sucking itself when it comes to be a
milk-producer or sucking the other
cows in the herd.
The only way to prevent this vicious
habit is to tie each calf by itself until
digestive organ. have developed suf-
ficiently to enable it to digest grain
food, such as ground oats and wheat
bran.
Then they win eat dry bran and
ground oats and in that way relieve
their mouths of this saliva. After
this they may be turned together and
there is little danger of their acquiring
the habit

BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

break out again and it spread all over

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

him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend

got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a

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

the homes of the rich. Since 1867 the

against tearing down the tower. They
were unanimous in the sentiment that

this landmark should be preserved
and made one of the show places of
Chicago.
When Chicago began to burn, the
evening of October 8. . 1871, terror
stricken citizens fed north to the
tower in the belief that the fire would
be confined to narrow district. The
following day the fire reached the
tower and roared about its base. de-
stroying the machine shop and ada
cent buildings. The pumping engines
were stopped and the walls of the en-
CINE house began to crumble. The
roof and floors of the other buildings
gave way, but the tower stood firm
while the flames raced northward.
The great pile Of masonry was pre-
served when repairs were made, and
since that day has been rich in tradi-
ton and romance.
Many stories of the tower deal with
the romances of some of the richest
sons and daughters of Millionaires'
row. An clipping couple is said to
have been married at the top of the
tower. In the days of old thousands
Of young men and maidens wandered
up the stairway to the summit to
plight their troth
The doors of the tower were locked
long ago The only magic key that
will unlock the door is in the keeping
of the city authorities.
The city authorities hold now that
disintegration has begun and that the
tower must go. This theory Is denied
by members of the Chicago Historical
society. who declare that the tower
was built to stand 10000 years and
that there is no danger of its crum-
bling for generations. Hundreds of
visitors gaze in awe at the old tower
every day.
