.PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
foot. He could not have a stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality. nevertheless.
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until I commenced using Cutl-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, rs we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura REM
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until 1 would treat him. they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.

Work and play teach men what they
do when they are awake. but most Of
us know little about what we do in
those seven or eight hours when we
sleep and dream. Some people con-
slider dreams as truthful oracles re-
vealing happenings that are sure to
follow. Others say that dreaming
means one Of two things. either a
bad case of indigestion or a worse
conscience.
Scientific men do not accept any Of
thees explanations as satisfactory.
though there may be a grain Of truth
in all. They find sleeping and dream
ing interesting, but a most complex
state Of being. The most advanced
students say that people think and
live as much when they sleep as when
they are awake. and that dreaming is
one manifestation Of this fact.
Dreams Play Important Part. ,
Havelock Ellis. in "The World of
Dreams" states that sleeping and
dreaming play a more important part
in our lives than most Of US imagine.
The Importance Of sleep and dreaming
is unappreciated because It Is difficult
to catch dream and therefore to an
alyze 1t. The dream realized Is only
a fringe Of the experience We have
known and never embraces the whole
consciousness we get in sleep. Dreams
are irrelevant, for SO much Is forgot
ten and omitted. and then the logic Of
the mind tries to patch 1t together
after we awake.
As he explains: I'VE never catch a
dream in course Of formation. AS 1t
presents itself to consciousness there
may be doubtful points or missing
links. but the dream is once for all
completed. and II there are doubtful
points or missing links we recognize
them as such. l believe that there Is
always a gap between sleeping con-
sciousness and waking consciousness,
The change from the one kind Of con-
scIousness to the other seems to be
effected by slight shock and the per-
ception Of the already completed
dream is the first effort Of waking
consciousness. The existence Of such
a shock is indicated by the fact that
even at the first movement Of waking
consciousness we never realize that a
moment ago we were asleep"
He goes further. accepting the view
Of such scientists as Foucault Nocke
and SIR Arthur Mitchell. and holds
that the mind Is active while the body
sleeps-dreaming Is only one Of its
processes. The dream the mind real
ly experiences Is different from what
It records when the body becomes con-
scious. Even in somnambulism it is
unusual for men and women to have
any recollection on awakening. This

PROFIT MADE IN SUNFL0WERS
Seed Is Used Mainly for Poultry Feed
PLANT May Be Grown on
81 Any Corn Land.

Sunflower seed is used mainly for
tive of Kansas and the far western
country.
Suntiowers can be grown in any
good corn land, but it takes the nitro
gen out of the soil in great quantities
and therefore the crop should not be
repeated on the same sod.
Plant with drill or corn planter
as you would corn in rows about 81
feet apart. The seeds should be three
or four inches apart in drills and
thinned later on to about Is inches.
1t requires from six to IL pounds
of seed per acre and 1t should be
planted a little shallower than corn.
The cultivation must be very shallow
so as not to disturb the roots. After
the plants are in bloom pinch off all
but three or four heads. Harvest be-
fore the seeds are fully ripe. as they
begin to shatter early, and it is also
difficult to protect them from the
birds which fall upon them in great
fOcks.
1t is not easy to harvest the sun
flower, as they shatter so easily.
Sometimes they are threshed by
running them through an ordinary
separator, while some farmers con-
str'lct a wooden wheel hanging on
supports like a grindstone. On the
sides of the wheel nails are driven
quite thickly and as the wheel turns
round the heads of the sunf1owers are
held against them and the seeds are
thus removed.
The seeds must be thoroughly dry
before being stored. They can be
saved in sacks or small bins and must
be kept perfectly dry or they will
quickly spoil.
An acre of good land will produce
about 1000 to 1900 pounds of seed.
If ground and mixed with other
grains it adds to the palatability and
flavor of other stock foods.
The large seeded variety is best for
poultry and stock, while the small
seeded varieties are used more for
the table and also for candle making.
Manufacturers of poultry and stock
feed are the buyers.

Cooperation Among Farmers.

There is no doubt about the fact
that cooperation among farmers Is
becoming more extensive and more
profitable. Examples like that of the
Ozark Dairy Association, with nearly
700 members, and the Fruit Selling
Associations of the southeastern part
of Missouri, prove the value of band
ing together. The standard OF the
product is raised, and extra charges
are cut out, to the benefit OF both
producer and consumer.

Exterminate the Weeds.

Weeds are worse than waste on the
farm. A weed uses soil fertility that
belongs to useful plants. 1t shades q

should grow. It smothers out crops.

foothold. Before they 60 to seed
they should be moved. After few

TRACTION ENGINES
CAN GO AS PLEASE
Law Requiring Planking of
Bridges Is Repealed No
Substitute Provided

Des Moines, Ia, July @
Whether it intended to do so OF
not, the Thirty. third general
assembly slipped a nice little
joker into the laws governing
the running of traction engines
on country roads and city
streets that is now being heard
from in more ways than one by
the attorney generals office.
Section 2 of chapter 1902 Of
the Thirty third general Assem-
bly, says that until the first
day of November, 1910, no
traction engine shall cross any
bridge. crossing or culvert in a
public highway or street unless
strong planks be put under the
wheels
On November /, 1910, there
fore, the law expired and trac
ton engines could be moved
without going to the labor and
expense Of putting two inch
pianks over every bridge and
cuivert in the roadway. The
evident intent of the law was
to have all the counties
and all the boards of sup
ervisors of the counties
see to it that their culverls
we're made of concrete and
their bridges strong enough to
carry traction engines.
But it is evident from the
complaints which the attorney
general is getting that the sup
ervisors failed to read the in
tent in the law The traction
men evidently know the law,
and re not plankipg the cross
ings as they formerly We're re-
quired to do.
The officials of one county
wrote to the attorney general
asking him if they could re.
cover damages for broken Gull
verts caused by threshing ma
chimes and traction engines.
The reply to this was that no
damages could be collected be-
cause Of the expiration of the
law as per chapter lO2, and
there was nothing said about
penalties.

Tenderness and Restore
Comfort
Are your feet weary? Rex
all Foot Powder will help to
make them rested and comfort
able.
Your feet become tender
from numerous tight
shoes, excessive perspiration,
long standing, rough or long
walks, changing from pave
ment to the ground and vice
versa, clothing them too warm
ly in winter, imperfectly tan
ned leather, tight shoes.
Whatever the cause, the re-
suit is a tender skin and a con.
slant irritation of the nerves,
sometimes becoming almost I'M
bearable and often extending
to the knees or hips, perhaps
leading you to believe that your
trouble is something far more
serious than tender feet. The
pain spreads through the
nerves, but the trouble is with
the feet; that remedied, the
pain disappears. Antiseptic,
