Dynamite in Reno.

Farming with dynamite isn't
exactly what is being done by a
number of farmers and fruit
growers in Reno County, but soil
preparation by blowing it up is
being done this fall. Several
fruit growers, who lost trees in
the dry weather last summer,
are saving time and labor by us
ing the explosive. Several apple
growers have ''hoisted" the big
trees out of the grounds and
found it far more satisfactory
than the old>fashioned way OF
digging them up. The force OF
the explosion, when used with
gunpowder, not only rips the
trees, roots and all, out OF the
ground, but the downward force
of the dynamite breaks up the
subsoil. 1t is likewise much
cheaper, one-half pound stick Of
dynamite that cost 16 cents be-
ing sufficient to uproot the lar
gest apple tree. Besides tearing
up the trees, the ground is put
in fine condition for replanting
or other cultivation.
It is estimated that it would
cost Sig per acre to tear loose the
most refractory gumbo. 1t would
loosen up the soil so that i
would take up water and not le
it all run into the streams
Scientific farming will soon in
clude soil shaking, as we'll a
blowing, and the productivenes'
of many fields will be greatly in
creased after the subsoil is forcet
to yield to the roots of the plant
its substance.

Are Microbes in
Your Scalp!
II Has Been Proved That Mi
crobes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg,
Germany, and DR.. Sabourand,
the leading French dermatolo'
gist, discovered that a microbe
causes badness. Their theory
has time and again been amply
verified through research expert
ments carried on under the OBJ
servation of eminent scientists
This microbe lodges in the Sc
bum, which is the natural hail
soil, and Rhen permitted tc
flourish it destroys the hair fol
licles and in time the pores en-
tirely close, and the scalp grad
ually takes on a shiny appear
auce. When this happens there
is no hope of the growth OF hail
being revived.
We have a remedy which will,
we honestly believe, remove dan
druff, exterminate the microbe,
promote good circulation in the
scalp and around the hair roots,
tighten and revitalize the hair
roots, and overcome badness, SC
long as there is any life left IL

A Leakage that Can
be Easily Stopped.

How many people who read
this article, realize the weighty
influence of one little necessity
of life-baking powder-on the
cost of living.
Yet it is a leakage that can
easily be stopped if the house
wife will only pay a little atten-
ton to the choice of her baking
powder. Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap
big Can" Baking Powders.
These Baking Powders are not
always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures in the baking,
and the result is that more is
lost in one or two spoiled bak'
ings than you spend on baking
powder in the whole year. The
cheap big Can" Baking Pow
der should be avoided.
On the other hand, many
housewives feel that a baking
powder is of no value unless they
pay so cents a pound for 1.-THE
price charged for the high priced
Trust" brands. This is a mis-
take, as the best baking powder
that can be made-can be sold fol
25c. per pound if the manufac'
turer is satisfied with a reason
able profit. There is one brand
on the market that meets these
requirements. 1t is CALUMET
BAKING POWDER, recommen
ded by leading physicians an'
chemists; used in millions o
homes; and given the Highes
Award at the Worlds Pure FooC
Exposition.
