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 a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only'a 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 it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a.
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

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

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost Of life insurance,
Prof. James W. Glover of the Uni
versity Of Michigan demonstrates that
every pollcy-holder Of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 a year on his premiums if
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated tuberculosis alone causes
loss to such policy holder of from
s16.70 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty. with the.
present high death rate from tubercu-.
Iosis, this one disaase 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 Tuber-
culosis says that the combined effort
OF every man, woman and child is nee
essary to bring about radical reduc-
ton in life insurance rates such as

"PM ONLY A LITTLE GIRL"
Failing Eyesight Responsible for an
Old Mans Mistake-Rebuke
Hardly Effective.

A certain group of youngsters in an
exclusive West Side residential section
had been very noisy throughout the
forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate a bedlam,, when a
very angry old man appeared at the
door OF a nearby apartment house. He
was quite old, and it was evident that
MS eyesight was not the best, but he
finally succeeded in picking out q
youngster who was aiding very strenu-
ously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't You know it's against the
law to make SO much noise?"
Yes, SIR was the meek reply.
We'll, don't you know that youth

There is considerable cOntractiO
and expansion due to heat and cold,
so fence stretched in midsummer is
more likely to remain tight. In
stretching the wire, always fasten
the stretcher to the end or corner
post, and not to some object beyond
Just because it is more convenient
[ have tried this and know that
unless the end-posts receive the ten
sion when stretching, they will give
as soon as the stretcher is removed.
\ stretCher with two levers, one at
the top and another at the bottom,
is the best type, since on uneven
ground the wire may be stretched
to conform to the surface.
The most important thing in the
construction Of a fence is having
posts we'll set. for without this it is
| impossible to stretch heavy woven
wire. Never try to stretch more than
40 rods at once, and if this is four
foot wire. it will require enormous
tension.
A part OF the crimp should be
drawn out Of the wires. Nail to every
post. but not to every wire. Staple q
part OF them to one post and the
| alternate ones to the next post.
Make substantial gates. light
| though strong. Our gates are 1x4
lumber. and usually 10 or IL feet
| wide. In order to save waste, get Is
| foot lumber.
Seven pieces OF that length, and one

| waste. There should also be another
| piece foot wide and 10 feet long
which may be sawed in two and
nailed. one piece on either side where
the hinges are bolted on.

BUILDING THE FARM FENCE

Any farm is worth $40 per acre
more when it is we'll fenced, and di-
yided into convenient fields and lots.
AS there Is more or less work and ex-
pense entailed in getting a good hog
tight fence in place, one should get
only the best material, and spend
more time in setting and stretching
than when the common barbed wire
is used.
Woven wire. even Of the 26-inch
width, exerts several times the strain
as that of the three-strand barbed
wire, and the corner posts must be Of
good size and we'll braced.
posts cut in the winter and allowed
TO season till the summer before being
set, will be more satisfactory, but this
Plan is not always practicable.
We have used posts rod apart on
our farm, but l have learned from ex-
rerience that that is too far and now
1 am putting them twelve feet apart.
Set the corner or end posts first.
then drive the others in line between,
them BY stretching wire on the
ground. This wire must be stretched
tight; and in driving do not let the
post touch the wire, as it would push
it out of line.

most important item in making Mis

For a yard fence where appear

places the brace may be hidden A
hole is dug to the desired depth, be-
ing as long as the distance between
the posts, the stay-post being set in
one end and the corner post ia the
other
"A brace is fitted in tight between
them in the bottom of the hole. and
the dirt filled in, then another is put
in the same way at the surface of
the ground.
A modificat ton Of the anchor brace
| Is made by running the wire from
the top Of the second or stay post
to the bottom Of the corner post,
then setting horizontal brace between
the posts near the top.
For good fence. [ prefer to have
the posts set in the early spring and
stretch the wire a month later. after
the posts have settled and the
