Ring worm is fungus and is caused
by germ. Children sometimes get
one by playing with pets that are
affected. They are durable, but I'M
less one is watchful, the trouble will
appear after it has seemed to be
cured. Two months time, at least,
should be given to effect cure, but,
it will never get we'll if left alone
The fungus enters the shaft of the
hair, which breaks off near the scalp,
and scaley patches form. The hair
should not be brushed, as that scat
ters the germ, neither should the
comb and brush be used by any other
member of the family. Let the
affected one wear a cap. The hair
should be cut off at least an inch
around the spot. II your druggist
can't give you something for it, you
can have ten grains of bichlorid of
mercury dissolved in alcohol then
mixed with two and one-half ounces
each of olive oil and kerosene. Some
of this should be rubbed into the scalp
thoroughly every day. This is irritat
ing and if, at the end of four or five
days, it seems too severe, wait a
while, in the mean time using an
ointment composed of three parts
lanoline (which is the fat from lambs
wool) and one part olive oil.

CANNING.

Since our last issue we have been
told by a woman that she can ego us
one better on the canning deal. .
Last year she put up raspberries by a
more simple method still. She filed
the jars with fresh berries, poured
over the boiling syrup, put on covers
and set in kettle of boiling water.
When the water cooled she took jars
out wiped them and set away. She
did not loose a single can and is put
ting them all up this year the same
way.

BUTTERMILK AND SOUR CREAM.

Butter milk is being held in favor
not only as healthful drink, but for
it's value in food. The Tactic acid,
which it contains, dissolves the earthly
deposits in the blood vessels and
keeps them so supple and free run
ming, that they can not clog up. 1t
stimulates the liver, kidneys and skin.

sity of Missouri and the Missouri State
Poultry Board, has been running, with
the assistance OF various railroads.
what is probably the largest poultry
and ,egg-handling extension work ever
before carried on. in this country.
From July IS to August 26 twenty

two demonstration cars. These towns
We're located on the lines of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Kansas City Southern,

in Central and Southwest Missouri and
Northern Arkansas.
This work was planned to assist the
farmers and poultry dealers to obtain
better knowledge of their business,
s~increase their profits and increase
the supply of poultry, and eggs for use
as food for the consuming public. and
to prevent the large waste now exist
ing, due to faulty methods of handling
these products. To- this end two dem
onstration cars were equipped, one by
the Missouri State Poultry Board, under
the direction of Il. L. Quissenberry, di-
rector OF the Missouri State Poultry
Experiment Station; the other by the
Hooo iNeoedrSIl- lIdOOratOry or the Bu-

THE PROBLEM OF RURAL
AND SUBURBAN HOUSING.
Differs From Tenement Refornn-Num
ber of Families No Criterion.

1t is very unfortunate that in the
public mind housing reform has been
identified with tenement house reform.
There is a housing problem wherever
there are houses, whether they are oc-
cupied by one family or more, says FL
mer S. Forbes of the Massachusetts
Civic league. 1t should be clearly un-
derstood that for the most part the ten
ement house problem does not enter
into the question.
Outside of New England and certain
metropolitan districts, so far as my
own observation goes, the tenement
house in country and suburban dis
tricts is practically negligible guam
tity
More or less bad housing Is to be
found in the country all over the Unit
ed States, but in some respects it is not
so bad nor does it have the same
causes as in the cities. The dwellings
in question may be fairly well built or
be miserable shacks or anything be-
tween the two. Dirt usually reigns su-
preme within doors; they may be
crowded to the limit water is apt to be
scarce and sanitary conditions to be
unspeakably vile.

SUFFRAGETTES USE BOMBS.
One Sent to Judge Who Sentenced
MiIitants-Three on Train.


London, May Is. The suffragette
bomb campaign has reached it's height.
The militant women who are fighting
for the vote planted a can Of powder
in Westminster abbey, placed three
bombs in a commuters train near Lon
don and sent another bomb through
the mail to Magistrate Curtis Bennett,
who has presided at most of the recent
trials of suffragettes in the Bow
street police court and sentenced many
of the militants to Jail.
Fortunately none of the bombs ex-
ploded, so no one was hurt and no
property was destroyed.
The Westminster abbey bomb con-
sisted of a canister of powder with a
fuse attached. The fuse was not light
ed when it was found, however, and
some of the police were inclined to
think that the thing was a hoax.
This bomb, as well as all the others
discovered, was labeled "Votes for
Women" and wrapped in suffragette
pamphlets and other militant litera-
ture.
The lives of many men and women
would have been in danger if the
bombs on the commuters train had ex-
ploded. The train runs from Kingston
on-Thames to London on the London
and Southwestern railway. The bombs
were almost exactly like the one found
in the abbey-canisters Of powder
with fuses attached. A guard discov-
