Prior to the year 25S, which witness ed it's invasion by the Scott, a tribe who inhabited the northern portions of the country now known as Ireland, Scotland bore the name of Caledonia, literally the hilly country of the Caels, or GaeIs. The word cael, or gael, is corruption of Gadhel, signifytng in the native tongue "a hidden rover," while Scot, derived from the native scuite, means practically the same thing|i. G., a wanderer. The Caledonians were the inha bitants of the highlands, the pre- fix dun expressing the Celtic for hill, fort, stronghold, etc. The Scots were the invaders from Scotia, whe- appro-

Red Cedar For PeneIia-

Missouri, particularly the Ozark h4Ils, furnishes the greater part of the wood used in making lead pencils. Though many other varieties have been tried, none has proved as satisfactory as the red cedar. The cedars grow on the rocky hilisides all through the White r1veF district of Missouri. They are small, stunted trees, seldom reaching a diameter of more than a foot at the bSa&t- The logs are either hauled to the railroad and sent to the mill or hoRbed in rafts down the Ktver. At the mill the logs are first cut lengthwtse by cir cular saws into blanks. These are cut into right lengths for lead pencils, and those chunks go into the hands of men who with circular saws rip them up into what are called "slats." O&y the red heart of the log 1s used. The white aapwood is thrown away. The slats are bound in bundles and sent to New York, where the greater part ire work cd up into lead pencils, and the remain der goes to lead pencil factories in Ger many and other European countries.- Exchange

Throat Wrinkles Are Easily Banished.

Is your neck beginning to look a wee bit elderly? Is the cuticle STOW ing flabby? DO the muscles persist in dropping? Is it impossible for you to wear a low-cut gown or V-shap- ed blouse?
 If your neck confesses to all these beauty ills. then 1t is evident that 1t is far from being perfect. DO not de- spair, however as in this day and age a flabhy. wrinl<led neck holds no ter TOTS for the wise woman. Why is this? Because she knows that sci- entific massage with an astringent cream will efface the ugly lines and tighten flabby muscles.
 Since some of you are doubtless in ignorance of exactly how to give this come amisS, if I devote a few para graphs to telling you the how of it.
 You will find 1t will strengthen the chin muscles if you will press upon them with the backs of the hands. Press with all your trength, and mas sage backward and up to the ears with the tips of your fingers.
 Now you must work on the tendons at the side of the neck, that grow more and more ropy as the years speed by, unless they are attended to. Try lifting the tendons with the thumb and the forefinger, even though this lifting process is somewhat pain full Do not continue pulling up on the tendons for more than a minute two, as this is one of the cases where enough Is as good as a feast.''
 The large muscles back of the neck should also be pulled up, but this lift ing treatment should be followed by an invigorating kneading of these muscles.
 Now draw the palms of your hands, which should be filled with the fol- lowing astringent cream, slowly to and fro across the front of the neck. When you feel enough attention has been given to this portion of the neck, shift your hands to the nape of the neck and draw them over the flesh

Even a chemist surrounded by all
 his scientific laboratory equipment, can not distinguish beet sugar from the cane product. Although derived from different species of plants, the refined product from the juice of the cane and beet is the same in composition, in, sweetentng power, fin d1etet1c effect, in chemical reaction, An all other respects
 Furthermore, if maple sugar WeEs re- boiled and passed through the process of refining 1t would lose tEs aroma and flavor, which are wholly in the ip1puri-i ties, and the white crystals would be identical with those derived from sugar cane and sugar beets.

IS POULTRY DAY
Kansas Farmers Hear Prof.
LippincOtt's Talk.
He Would Raise the Standard
of Kansas Chickens.

The happiness and contentment of
the Kansas Rooster hangs in the bal
ance. If the recommendation of VIM.
A. Lippincott, professor of poultry
husbandry at the State Agricultural
college is adopted. by the Kansas legis-
lators it will be a misdemeanor for a
Kansas rooster to run at large.
Prof. Lippincott was one of the
speakers before the State Board of
Agriculture this morning. when this
law is proposed" he said, lit will
cause much merriment. 1t will be
dubbed the rooster law and provoke
laughter-but it will be passed.
And when it is it will save the far
mers of Kansas at "a conservative esti-
mate a million dollars in cash. And
let me call your attention to the fact
that this cash comes into the state
from outside sources, because our
eggs are mostly marketed outside the
state.
The question of the neighbor' 8
rooster in this connection IS a very po-
tent one, and / hope and expect to see
within the next few years a law on
the statute books of this state that
makes a misdemeanor for anyone to
allow a male bird Of any description to
run at large in the open country or in
the town.
The speaker stated that Kansas
eggs are not up to the standard in
size. He said that more care should
be used in the selection of proper
breeding stock.
One of the important papers of the
morning session was read by James
w. Wilson, director of the agricultural
experiment station of Broolings, S. D.,
and a son of the secretary of agricul-
ture, James Wilson. 1t was on TYPE

There is no best breed of livestock
