BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell of. and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before | could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors. too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"

cura Soap and Ointment are sold by

BREADS.

For those living In the country or
small towns. where fresh compressed
yeast cake Is not obtainable. the fol-
lowing method of making bread will
be found most satisfying, In fact II Is
used by many city households. who
prefer it to any other:
Cook six medium sized potatoes in
water TO cover; mash and strain the
potato and water in which II was
cooked over four tablespoonfuls OF
-four. four tablespoonfuls of sugar.
tablespoonful OF salt. Steep a packed
tablespoonful OF hops In a cup Of
water: pour this water over the other
ingredients. add a quart of water. and
when the mixture Is luke warm add a
yeast cake that has been softened In
little water. The yeast Is now ready
for bread.
About two hours before the bread Is
needed. prepare the sponge. use cup
or cup and half of the yeast mixture,
adding more salt and some shorten
fng. with -four enough to knead as soft
as it can be handled. Knead ten min
utes. make into loaves or buns and
when light bake without further knead-
ing
This bread Is so simple to make. so
good in flavor and one can prepare 1t
on short notice. that every housewife
should keep some of the yeast on
hand.
Graham Bread.-Take three cups of
graham -four. two cups Of sour milk.
two teaspoonfuls of soda. two-thirds
of a cup of dark brown sugar, a pinch
of salt. Mix all together and bake one
hour In a slow oven
Brown 6read.-Three cups OF gra-
ham -four. two OF white -four and one
of cornmeal. half cup Of sugar. a
teaspoonful OF soda. two teaspoonfuls
of salt. two cups each OF warmed
sweet milk and two OF water; add
compressed yeast cake. beat well. put
In tins at night. cover air tight. Bake
In the morning one hour. This makes
two loaves.

WAYS OF PREPARING FISH.

According to good authorities. fish
loses from ten to fifty per cent of its
weight in their preparation for cook
ing. They should in all cases be killed
Immediately upon catching. both for
humane reasons and for their food
value.
Fish Hash.-Melt tablespoonful OF
butter In a saucepan, add cup OF
milk and two cups of any kind OF
cooked fresh fish. freed from bones and
skin and picked into small pieces.
Season to taste, simmer five minutes.
and serve on slices OF dipped toast.
ANY fish sauce left over from previ-
Gus meal may be used In place OF the
milk In the hash.

DROUTH CUTS YIELD
OF POTATOES
DRY WEATHER HAS ALSO HAD
SERIOUS EFFECT UPON THE
PASTURES.

Much damage has been done to the
second crop of Irish potatoes in the
county by the long continued dry
weather. 1t has been nearly month
since there was any rain in the coun-
ty and the potato crop will be serious
ly affected. The yield has been prob
ably cut more than half by the
drouth. 1t is feared now that dain
will be followed by cold spell in
which event disaster almost COM
plete would overtake the crop. The
pastures have suffered greatly from
the drouth with the result that there
is less grass in the county now than
there has been since last winter. Al
though rain has been predicted by
the weather man almost every day
for more than week the indications
are none too favorable for change.

MAURY HORSES TO
THE.FRONT AS WORLD
REcORDPERFORMERS
TWO OF THE THREE FROM THIS
COUNTY AND ANOTHER
FROM STATE.
MANITOBA BRED IN WILSON
sires of the Winners Owned In Co.
iumbia-EveIyn w. Made All Marks
In Races, Never Racing With a
Wind Shield Against Time.

At the close of the racing season
for 1912, both trotting and pacing
Tennessee FORCES to the front with
Three performers holding worlds re-
cords for the year, and Maury county
lays claim to two of the three. Ev-
elyn w. and Jones Gentry.
In the five year old class Jones
Gentry by John R. Gentry, 2o01a,
holds the records for the geldings,
with a mark of 2:05A. This horse
was bred in Maury county and Is out
Of Maud Webster by Tom Webster,
and was owned by the late T. N.
Jones, %of Columbia, and as three
year old ! bid for $1,000. This horse
is in the list with only three others
as having made the honor roll in the
Horseman and Spirit of the Times.
A mare that all of Tennessee is
proud of and more especially raury
county, is Evelyn w. by The Spy.
This game little mare was bred by
John Sowell, but shortly after the
breeding the maR was given to
james Dobbins, Jr., nephew of Mr..
Sowell. Three times this year has
she set a new worlds record and is
good for several more next year II
she happens to no accidents. Evelyn
w. is out of Bessie c. by Gov. Mich
OILS and her last mile Of 2:00h shows
that she has not yet reached her re-
NTH. All of her records have been
made in races, and never has she had
the chance of going against time
with the wind shield in front of her.
This is a decided advantage over
those horses who have made fast
time with the shield. Give her a
chance and she will lower all past
records against time, is the belief of
many horsemen.
Manitoba is the third performer
that has done the old Volunteer State
proud. This horse was bred by A.
R. Gholston, of Lebanon, who sold
him for $4,000 as three year old az
ter pacing sensational mile at the
Memphis Tri-State Fair last year.
Manitoba is by Walter Direct, 2:05A,
and his dam is by Wedgewood, 2:1s.
Manitoba took the mark of 2:05 in
race and proved that ne is worthy
son of worthy sire.
Another feature or this story is
that two of the sires of two of the
winners were owned by one firm in
Columbia. The Spy was owned by
Chaff1n Bros, and Walter Direc. is
still owned b. these splendid hocse-
men and is one of the greatest sires
in the world today.
The horseman of Oct. 8th, has the |
following to say of Manitoba: "At
the California State Fair at Sacra- |
mento, Manitoba, formerly known as
Harry Direct, won his race and re-
duced his mark to 2:05. He is owned |
by A. G. Mckenzie and was driven
by George Spencer. He has started |
IA times this year and has never been |
behind the money. lie is a son of |,
Walter Direct"
