CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of tuberculosis and Other Pre-
VentabIe Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find method for
reducing the cost of life insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policyholder OF $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 a year on his premiums II
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such policy holder Of from
$3.50 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age Of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis says that the combined
effort of every man, woman and child
is necessary to bring about radical
reduction in life Insurance rates such
as Professor Glover has indicated.

READY RESULTS
FROM A DAIRY
Cow Is Constant Quantity as Far
as Her Production Is Con.
cerned - Regular
Money Crop.

The great value of dairying in con
nection with mixed or diversified
farming is that the COW is constant
quantity, so far as her production OF
milk is concerned. She can be banked
on more than poultry, hogs or field
crops to yield constant amount OF
salable products every week, If she
is given a variety of good feeds and
general good care.
This cash coming in at regular and
frequent intervals from dairying en-
ables the farmer of moderate means
to use the money to good advantage
as it is needed, for general running
expenses and making things go. For
this reason the average dairyman
should become prosperous and have
a well-improved farm.
The only regular money crop for
the farm is that which comes from
the dairy house. Every week the milk
and butter goes out and the money
comes back.
The modern dairyman seldom has
to go to the bank to borrow money to
tide him over till he sells his crops,
because he is selling lis crops everT
week.

1T IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause Of pain. Think of the pleasure
Of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, 80 essen.
tial to happiness and even success In
life, are often only matter Of little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do SO much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, Q
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

MAKE THE CROP
FIT THE SOIL
Farmer Needs to Study Require.
ments of Various Crops He
Grows and Plan for
Rotation.
By W. NJ. kelley

There is no use in trying to achieve
success with soil not fitted to the
crop. We must make more intelll-
gent study Of the selection Of crops
that are better adapted to our soils
and that can be made to return larger
and more certain profits. There is
something that is very interesting
about the preference Of crops for GER
tain soils and climates.
One of the first things for farmers
to learn is to find out which crops are
best adapted to his soil and grow
them on his farm. He needs to study
the requirements of the various crops
that he grows and plan his rotation
of crops so that each crop may be
grown under the most favorable con-
ditions.
While l am a staunch friend Of sta
BILE manure and constantly urging the
keeping Of more and better farm
stock, yet l can see the necessity OF
facing the situation in practical man
ner.
The average farmer has reached a
point where stable manure will not
supply the adequate amount Of plant
food to produce the maximum yield of
grain and other farm crops, and the
only sensible thing to do is to supply
the deficient elements.
The generality of soils on our stock
