GONE ARE DAYS OF CHIVALRY
Imagine This Situation in the Times
When Knights Died for the Love
of a Ladye!"

Miss Italia Garibaldi, granddaughter
of the famous "liberator," complained
in Chicago about the way Italian wom-
Ell are treated there.
When l see,' she said. the male
employer, with all his Wanted chiv-
airy to women, taking such an unfair
advantage of his female employees,
don't wonder that woman is beginning
to sheer at mans chivalry.
1t reminds me of an Italian wash
erwoman, very Industrious and sue
cessful, to whom young man offered
himself in matrimony.
You love me-? the washerwoman
asked
'Devotedly,' the young man re-
piled
Are you sure?'
~ swear it,
She gave him a searching look.
Are you out of work. she said"

nailed on perpendicular as indicated,
writes Fred O. Sibley in the Farm and
Home.
The front, which is to face toward
the south, has a good-sized window,
and at each corner are two openings,
12x16 inches, for the hens to pass. In
the end opposite the door there IS a
wooden shutt2c about two feet square
for air and ventilation, and this, as
well as the window, should have
strong, fine meshed wire nailed On the
outside.
The roosts are located in the rear,
up under the roof with a platform
below to catch the droppings, 31a feet
wide, extending the whole length OF
the house Beneath this is another
platform, three feet wide. for the
nests. For hens on the range such a
house is just the thing, and needs no
floor if the location is well drained
and dry. It will shelter from so to 60
fowls comfortably. The interior ought
to be kept well whitewashed, and if
the house is set in the shade of large
tree it will be all the more pleasant
for the hens to go into on a hot day.
The cost of building this kid of
summer cottage" will be from $12
to SIS 1t pays to use good lumbep,
and two or three good coats of paint
should be applied.

THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
o. the Trio, Probably Representative
RedfieId Had the Best Occa-
sion to Smile.

The talk in one of the cloak rooms
Of congress turned to the thought of
the happiest moments in ones life
Senator Bailey said his came the Gay
he wore his first pair of trousers. And
Paul Rowland of Ohio declared his
big moment of joy was when he was
permitted once to drive chariot IN
a pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfield, who is
wise chap, even if he does hail from
Brooklyn, said it was when he was
going to school and trying to master
long division. Three or four aisles
over from where he sat boy yawned.
1t was not an ordinary yawn, but one
of such genuine expression Of feeling
toward things in general that it at
tracted Redfields attention. He was
fortunate in having paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
and he aimed this at the boys caver-
nous mouth. The wad went right
square into the goal and-well, Fourth
Of July fireworks are tame to the
stunts that boy did in the next few
minutes.
He says he almost smiled once on
Bhipboard when the vessel gave a
!urch and threw a platter full of
beefsteak, gravy and all, over the
open-faced shirt front of pompous
passenger across the table.

BEDBUGS In CHICKEN HOUSE
Roots and Nests Should Be Removed
From Building and Whitewash
Spray Thoroughly Applied.

Many poultry houses are infested
with bed bugs and it is not an easy
matter to dislodge them.
Some people say that turning the
sheep into the poultry houses will in
duce the bugs to attack the sheep
where they will be lost in the wool,
but this is a poor remedy.
Remove all the roosts and nests
from the house and spray with boiling
hot whitewash to which has been
added a pint of turpentine to a pail
full.
Another good remedy is to burn the
interior Of the house with taroline
mixture which can be bought at any
drug store Another effective remedy
is half a pint each of turpentine,
ammonia and kerosene to which add
about four ounces of gum camphor.
If more is needed double the quantity.
Apply with brush.
The nests should be burned out over
/ a blazing fire and the roosts should
also be held over the fire and all
should be thoroughly whitewashed and
painted before putting them back.

ECZEMA DlSFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb.,
Oct &c, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"
