HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

II can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema About four years
ago ! noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving 1t any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
II l would have them in water for q
long time. they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves 1 could think of, / went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur.
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll, one set being all l used"

dressed a letter to Mr.. j. ). .Allgood, ask

garding conditions here, pro~ductivcre,s

Replying to the communication, Mr..

duced, as | did not begin keeping .
record on January 1st, as I should have
done, but l will cheerfully give you the
benefit of our records as they appear.
OUR cabbage made about 1000 heads per
acre, or 225 crates per acre. tomatoes,
o2o crates; Irish potatoes, 1926 bushels:
English peas, $50 bushels; sweet pota-
toes, 200 bushels. l canont arrive at
such crops as turnips, radishcs, mustard,
lettuce, egg plants, bell peppers, etc,
out we nave grown as many as five
crops on the same land this year. We
grew sweet potatoes after the early crops
very successfully. These yields were
produced on what is termed poor hill
land and under adverse circumstances.
Il would add that l have some land
that has produced $50 bushels of Irish
potatoes this year, and the same amount
of sweet potatoes. This yield is not IN
usual in. this country, and it may b.
reasonably expected where land is prop
erly prepared and cultivated"

Secretjve Family Bible.

Tommy was a venturesome lad, but
nobody had ever credited him with
sufficient courage to shake his head in
contradiction when the Sunday school
visitor, who wished to show off his
knwledge Of Biblical history asserted
that Sarah, Abraham's wife, was the
only woman whose age was recorded
in the Bible. Seeing the disappearing
motion of the little head in the front
row the visitor reiterated: Sarah
was the only woman whose age is re-
corded In the Bible" Then Tommy
spoke right up: There are three
more that l know Of" said he. "Who?'
asked the astonished visitor. Mother,
grandmother and Aunt Lucy" said
Tommy.

AUDITOR SMITH FEELS DISCUSSED
OVER STATUTES.

Jacksonville banking laws of Missis-
sippi are a farce, and might as well not
be on the statute books, according to
State Auditor E. j. Smith, who>is also
ex-officio banking commissions of the
commonwealth.
Statutes without the means of enforc-
ing them, and statements from banks
without any method of veritication pro-
vided, in the opinion of Mr.. Smith,
might as we'll not have been written,
and he is SO thoroughly Disguised with
the failure of former legislatures to
frame adequate laws on the subject that
he does not intend to mention the mat
ter in his Forthcoming biennial report
to the legislature.
ut is useless to make recommenda.
tions when they are persistently ignored
by the legislature, and no intelligent
effort is made to study the subject
says Mr.. Smith. Expressing it very
mildly, my present duties as ex-offcic
banking commissioner could just as cas-
lily be performed by one of the state
house messengers. I am required to cal
for financial statements from the bank
four times per year, and left without
any means of ascertaining whether thes,
statements, when filed, are correct
About all l can do is to see that re
sources and liabilities are balanced"
Auditor Smith is of the opinion thai
the next legislature should provide 1

ton, but he entertains very little hop
that the lawmakers will take action OF
the subject.

FOOD AGAIN

A Boston lady talks entertainingly
of food and the changes that can be
made in health by some knowledge on
that line. She says:
IAN injury to my spine in early wom-
anhood left me subject to severe sick
headaches which would last three or
four days at a time, and a violent
course of drugging brought on consti-
patton with all the ills that follow.

uncertain and many kinds of food dis

tions that are working for the preserva-
ton of the historic old State house, are
much encouraged over the progress of
their campaign, and confidence is being
expressed that the next legislature will
not order the sale of the property, or
the demolition of the ancient building
that has been the scene of 80 many stir
ring events in Mississippis history.
The plan that these organizations have
in view is to secure an appropriation Of
from $4,000 to 100000 to put the
building in a thorough state of repair,
brace up the walls where they appear
weak, and use the structure for certain
departments Of State government and
as a museum of State history.
Despite the fact that the new State
house cost $3.50, 600, and Is one Of the
most imposing structures in the South,
it is a melancholy fact that it is ever
now too small for all the purposes of
government and some of the officials are
badly cramped for quarters.

Runway for Chicks.

When a large box Is used for a sum-.
mer coop for chicks, after they have
left the brooder or are weaned from
the ben, it should be provided with a
small inclosed run. This run is made
by mailing a wooden frame to the
open side of the box and covering It

have all the fresh air they need at

dense in many places as to prevent the
hot air and sunshine getting to the bolls
to open them.
