To allay itching and irritation Of the

beauty of the hair, the following sps-
cial treatment is most effective, agree

ment into the parting with bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the

pose being to get the Cuticura oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. II is well to place q light
covering over the hair to protect the

morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap

be used as often as agreeable, but

USE AND ABUSE OF STORAGE
Enormous Quantities Of Food Wasted
In Order to Secure Higher Prices
How u Works.

Few things are more useful or more
abused than the cold storage OF food
products. In the producing season Of
various edibles, there is usually sur
plus which must be wasted unless
there is some provision for preserving
II for use during the lean season. In
the true economy Of existence this
preservation is the purpose Of cold
storage. But, in the economy OF dollar
chasing. cold storage has been used to
increase prices during the season OF
plenty. and to make them still high
er during the season Of scarcity. One
of the effects of this has been to waste
enormous quantities of food. In some
instances 1t has been found to be more
profitable to let some Of such food
rot because the increased price of
that which was saved more than Offset
the loss by waste. II Is true that this
has not always been the case, as was
shown by the loss of the egg packers
two years ago. But the important
thing is that the people should not be
robbed of food by the cupidity of the
spectators. Waste never made peo-
pie rich, no matter how some individu-
ais have profited by it, and the avoid
ance of such waste would have served
to give men and women strength and
ability to do the work that the nation
needs. We have too many people who
are struggling-and failing-to make
both ends meet In this land Of plenty.

COOPERATION REALLY PAYS
Farmers Of Central Kansas Form Or
aanization for Purpose Of Buying
and Selling Crops.

Ten cars of seed wheat, sold at a
long advance over Kansas City prices.
were shipped by the Lost Springs
(Kansas) farmers union this year. In
addition large quantity of seed was
sold in smaller lots. This extensive
marketing of high priced seed wheat
was made possible by cooperative
growing and selling.
Lost Springs is small town in cen
trail Kansas. It is in rich farming
region. The farmers grow good crops
and they determined to get the best
prices for them. So they organized
union and now they do their own
buying and selling in large lots. When
the union was organized the number
of it's members could easily have been
counted on the fingers OF two hands.
Cooperation might be a good thing,
but most of the farmers in the coun-
try near Lost Springs desired to be
shown before they joined. They soon
were converted, writes Floyd B. Mich
OILS, in the Orange Judd Farmer. Now
the membership has increased to over
80. Almost all of the farmers within
ten miles of Lost Springs belong to the
union.
So far this year the union has
shipped 81 cars of wheat to be sold
for milling purposes. The wheat
that was shipped to the central mar
kets brought an average of Eve cents
a bushel, after the freight and other
expenses we're paid, more than the
local buyers offered. They have
shipped q cars Of corn and nine
cars of oats, which we're sold at two
to six cents advance over the prices
offered by the local buyers.
The union also has handled soc
bushels of kafir corn. 500 bushels cane
seed. 225 gallons OF kerosene and 40
gallons Of gasoline so far this year.
Thus, by the system Of distribution
which the Lost Springs farmers have
worked out the middleman is elimi
mated. The producer and consumer
can divide his profits.
Seed wheat is one of the special
ties of the members OF this associa
ton. Every farmer grows pure Khark
of wheat-wheat that was reported
as excellent by a representative Of
the milling department of the Kan
sas agricultural college last June
The original seed was purchased in
carload lots two years ago. All the
wheat in the neighborhood is uni
formly pure Kharkof.

WENT AWAY WITH THE BOOTY

Lord Spencer, when viceroy Of Ire

Not contented with eating and drink

to make predatory raids on the tables
and carry OF eatables Of all sorts. On
one occasion the comptroller saw a
stout, elderly lady take a whole fowl
and stuff 1t with considerable dizziness
into a somewhat capacious silk and
embroidered bag. He at once went
up to her and. pointing with his finger
at the bag, said:
Madam. won't you take some ham
with that?"
The good lady was not in the least
abashed, but replied:
"Ah, captain, sure it's joker you
