are already in the face cannot be
Removed except by local treat
ment. A camePs hair face brush,
used with plenty of pure soap, and
the face. scrubbed nightly for
week will usually clear up ones

You seldom see blackheads in a

,ezs it well when he shaves.
If you find that blackheads do,
not come out using the ordinary
toilet soap, make liquid lather of
green soap, which is not green,
but soap which has not ripened.
After scrubbing well, rinse with
very hot water and then with cold
and apply healing cream.
In the morning spray your face
with cold water; apply cream
again, rus off as much as possible
and dust with a light rice pow
der. If you follow this regime
faithfully, regulate your diet to
very little meat, no pastry and
plenty of fruit and vegetables,
and drink at least two quarts of
water day, you will find that
you will not be troubled with ugly
little comedones.
You must be sure, however, to

PROTECTING HAY IN STACKS
Shed or Other Place for storing
Rough Forage Should Be Part
Of Farm Equipment.

Southern farmers are VIGOROUSLY
bad stackers. Not being expert in
stack building. and possibly also on
account of the effects Of moist cir
mate, they stack their hay in small
stacks. This, says Progressive Farm
err means that a large proportion OF
the hay is exposed to weathering. and
the loss is large
For these reasons. hay sheds should
and must become more numerous. 1t
would appear that the further North
we go the less objection there ought
to be to stacks, but. as a matter Of
fact. while the Canadians. for in
stance. are better stackers. and have
less rainfall, they put much more Of
their hay and other crops under shell.
ter
4 hay shed or a proper place for
storing rough forage should be a part
of the equipment Of every farm.

Curious Nocturnal Prank. Played BY
Victims o. Somnambuiism.


"Somnambulism. sleepwalking.
said medical man to an lndianap-
oils News reporter. rs more com
mon than most persons think. 1t
prevails among children ara to a
much less extent among Young
adults. 4 case over thirty is rare
and over forty pure somnambulism,

Three cases come to nv mind
now. One was that of a Young fell
low. about twenty wears old. who
would get out of bed little after
midnight and make his way to a
stream a quarter Of a mile from his
home There he would crawl out
on a tree, large branch of which
leaned over the stream, and there
he would swing five minutes or
more. after which he would make
his way home and get into bed. He
never had any recollection of these
nocturnal journeys. of which he
made several. The members of the
family knew Of them and got tired
of watching him SO one evening
they sawed this swinging limb near
ly through and when the somnanl-
bulist came to do his usual trapeze
act it broke and dropped him into
the water. The shock he received
BY this rude awakening cured him.
He gave up sleepwalking.
"The next case was that of a
young attorney. One night he gave
the police wagon run. He arose
from his bed. dressed and stepped
out Of his window on the roof of
porch. There in the light of the
moon he was observed bv two vigi-
liant policemen. When he stepped
back through the window they were
certain of their prey. Burglar. of
course. The police wagon was call
ed. the place was guarded. the house
searched. They found the burglar
IN his bed fast asleep. when proper
explanations were made by the fam
lily.
THE third case is that of a vouns
physician. Il married man His wife
knew OF his sleepwalking. which WAS
not of frequent occurrence. and
kept a light in the room. One night
she was awakened by noise in an
adjoining room. She went To the
door. There stood the husband in
the middle Of the room. dreadful

SLAUGHTER o. the Buffalo.


In 1881 the hide hunters shipped
$4,000 buffalo hides to the east.
The next year the number was 2OO,-
900 and in 1888, 10000. Only 500
we're reported in 1884, and after
that there were none at all. In
1883 Sitting Bull and his band, with
some white hunters, killed the last
10000 of the northern herd. The
last survivors. twenty-eight in num-
Der, were killed on the Big Porcu-
pine in 1856 and were mounted for
the National museum. With that
the wild buffalo Of North America
