A stranger Took Them In.

II is claimed that one F. H. Gardner,
clairvoyant, who had been located in
Clarksburg, w. Va. took with him 81 600
when he departed suddenly last Friday
night. He located in Clarksburg about a
month ago, and conducted an extensive
advertising campaign. One woman, the
police state, was defrauded of $1,000 in
money and diamonds. She was led to
believe that the amount would be return
ed TO her manifold. The landlady at
whose house Gardner boarded was in
duced to part with $3.50. She states
Gardner told her to put $3.50 in package
and place il over her heart and that with
in a certain number of days she would
find buried in a secluded spot many
thousands of dollars. When she looked
into the package Saturday morning she
found nothing but paper.
Intelligent people who visited Gardner
say that he possessed manner so clever
that he gained complete control over
them. A business man says he went to
see Gardner and that after the latter had
obtained $50 of his money he had so
much confidence in him that he went out
and borrowed $50 more, which Gardner
also captured. After they heard OF his
departure victims flocked to the house
where Gardner lived. About 60 victims
have been reported to date. Gardner in
vaded Clarksburg homes and almost
caused separations in some cases.
A detective from Cincinnati arrived al
Clarksburg Monday and is now trying to
locate the clairvoyant. Gardner is about
go years of age, weighs 100 pounds and is
almost six feet tall. His hair is Slightly

Historically, sheep scab is one Of
the Oldest diseases Of sheep. but Its
cause was not discovered until about
the middle OF the nineteentb-cen injury
1885, when the agent producing the
disease was found to be very small
mite. This mite is light gray In color
and the female is one-fortieth and the
male one-sixtieth of an inch In length.
In general appearance the mite re-
sembles a tiny spider It has four
pairs of legs, the last being very
small, and the third pair having long
thread-like appendages which are
longer In the female than In the male.
The mite crawls very slowly, showing
that Its power OF locomotion Is weak.
A female win lay from ten to twenty
eggs during her lifetime. These eggs
are SO small that they cannot be dis
tinguished with the naked eye. The
period of incubation is from four to
ten days, depending mainly upon tenn
perature. Gerlach, noted authority,
estimates the descendants Of single
female to be 100000 females and
100000 males at the end of 80 days.
He estimates the average number of
eggs from single female to be Is,
ten OF which hatch females and Ave
males, and allows Is days for each
generation.
The first symptom that attracts
ones attention tol the affected animal
is rubbing certain parts OF its back,

Clover is the greatest pasture for
hogs provided 1t is not allowed to
make pigs thrive at top notch.
The clover blossom is very pretty
flower but it is about as much out Of
place in the hog pasture as rose
bush IN the corn field.
While most farmers recognize that
red clover Is an admirable food for
swine, few Of them, comparatively. un-
derstand how to utilize q clover pas
ture for hogs. We make this asser-
ton In view Of the fact that clover
Is. in many instances, allowed to bios

saying and it indicates what we have

What we are after in pasturing hogs

plant is reduced.
If. on the other hand, the plants
can be prevented from bloss0ming to
any great degree, they keep trying to
blossom right along. provided sufn-
cient rains descend and in doing so
the hogs are fed.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

Il wish to let you know of couple
of recent cures which l have made

Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my ONCE, troubled with q
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in it's worst form. It started with
slight eruption and would affect most
parts OF his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen land would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try.
ing to get relief. recommended all,
the various treatments / could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try.
ing different prescriptions and meth.
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them fair trial.
But as did not know much about
Cut1cura at that time / was doubtful
whether it would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications OF Cuticura
Ointment she saw decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM.
pletely cured.
II lost no time In recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. --,
and this was two months ago. I told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he Is completely
cured through their use. have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and

them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.
