ITCHING TERRIBLE ON LIMB

r. F. d. No. 5, Clarkfeld, Mimi
my trouble was of long standing. 1t
started with some small red and yell
low spots about the size of a pin head
on my leg and every morning there
was dry scale on top covering the
affected part and when those scales
were falling off the itching was more
than | could stand at times The first
year | did not mind 1t so much as ii
was only itching very badly at times,
but the second year it advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. l had to be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose At night time often
happened to scratch the sore in my
sleep. Then had to stand up, get out
of bed and walk the floor till the spell
was over
Il bought lots of salves and tried
many different kinds of medicine but
without any success. 1 got a cake OF
Cuticura Soap and fifty-cent box of
CuticuTa Ointment and when | had
used them | was nearly over the itch
ing. But 1 kept on with the Cuticura
Soap for six weeks and the cure was
complete" (Signed) S. o. Gordon,

HERE'S GARB FOR MEMS TEAS
Oriental Slippers Go With Soft, FiImy,
Silk "Rest Suit" Is Fashion
Dictum.

London.-Fashion in male wear is,
we are told, in a transition state.
The gaudy sock, the spat, white or col
ored; the broad shoe lace, are as
though they never were. They are
taboo. We now revel in unobtrusive
socks and our shoes are spatless and
fastened with stringlike laces.
The latest craze is the rest suit, to
be worn on quiet evening after din
ner or for bachelor tea parties Here
is a full description of one, worn. it
is said, by a we'll known peer. 1t is of
dark green watered silk, with revers
of old gold, the coat being edged with
olive green silk braid The suit is
loosely cut with wide trousers and is
worn with a colored silk shirt. soft
turn down silk collar and bow tie.
socks of silk and gorgeous Oriental
slippers.

London Borough Council Has Scheme
to Supply Factory With
Its Fuel.

London.-Hammersmith Borough
council, which has a municipal cleo
tricity undertaking and has to arrange
for the storage and delivery of large
quantities of coal, reports in favor Of
scheme to bring the coal from the
wharf to the electricity works by
blowing it through a pipe. To enable
the coal to pass through the pipe
water would also have to be blown
through and the report declares that
the mixture of coal and water could
be forced through at a velocity of
about seven feet per second, about
five miles an hour.
Upon delivery at the electricity
works the coal would be allowed to
settle down in the tanks, when the
surplus water would be drawn off
and returned to the river. The cost
of the scheme is estimated at $50 900.

Breeding Draft Horses.

The breeding of heavy draft horses
is one of the most profitable branches
OF live stock farming. Few farmers
realize the importance of size in a
draft horse, when put on the market.
either in public or private sale. A
horse that weighs less than 1900
pounds is not considered draft
horse in any of the horse markets OF
the country, yet the mares kept on
the ordinary farms are usually light
er than that. This accounts for the
small. scrubby lot of horses that are
constantly being put on the market
at a loss TO the breeder.

way of getting rid of small patch of
Canada thistles is to go over it every
week and cut off all leaves below the
surface of the ground. If a conscien-
tious job of this is done for the sum-
mer, the thistles will not bother much
the next year, although it is best to
keep an eye open for them and cut
them off regularly. A careful job
must be done, for If the leaves are

KILL OUT CANADA THISTLES
Most Practical Wsy of Getting Rid
Of Patch Is to Cut Off All Leaves
Below Surface.

In response to query as to the
best way of getting rid of a patch of
Canada thistles the Wallace's Farmer
makes the following reply:
Anything which keeps Canada this
tie leaves from getting to the sun
light for two or three months during
the growing season will give them a
severe setback, and in some cases
kill them. Putting a heavy coating OF
straw on the patch has in some cases
proved successful, but in other cases
the straw has become disarranged
and the thistles have grown up

the carp has poor reputation as ts.-

all wrong. "The trouble with mosl
people," Mr.. Blalock says, 'fs that they
do not know how to prepare the carp
for cooking Or even how to cook him
after he has been prepared. They con-
tent themselves with scraping off the
scales as in the case Of most other
fish, and letting 1t go at that AS a
result, they have an unpleasant flavor
to contend with. What you want to
do after scraping off the scales Is to
put your fish in hot water, and loosen
up that dark coating on the skin. This
should be scraped Off until the fish Is
white Then put the fish in cooking
oil that has already been heated to
the right temperature and soon you
will have something to eat worth

the strength Of the Federal statute un-

statute provides that there shall be no

non taxable bonds we are unable to
figure out. We are not taking issue
with the comptroller. We just don't
understand. y
|: It will be observed also that while
the county board declares positively
that government bonds held as basis

open the question as to whether such

whether non-taxable bonds should be

very much like the court Of common
pleas, might fall through without the
getting up of a jury case, the getting
up Of the first case saved the situa-
ton and after that the proceedings
went on slowly and steadily through

In the case of Edna White VS.. the

the plaintiff in the sum Of $1,000.
In the case Of Texanna Stewart vs..

pany, the verdict was for the defen-
dant.
The first case taken up yesterday
was that Of ]. B. and r. E. Fewell vs..
the Catawba Power company, the
plaintiffs claiming damages from the
defendant because Of the allegation that
the tail waters from the defendants
power dam was making impossible a
ford which the plaintiffs use to get to
an island that they own and cultivate
in the river. This Is the last case to
be taken up and may not be concluded
before tomorrow.
