GOOD USE FOR WASTE
Conservation of All the Products
Raised on Farm.
Department Of Agriculture Devotes
Much Time Toward Solving Prob
lem of Much Importance for
Farmer and Fruit Grower.

For several years the United States
department of agriculture has been
devoting a great deal Of time toward
solving one of the most important
questions before the American farmer
and fruit grower today. This is the
conservation Of all products on the
farm, letting nothing go to waste.
Special trains with leading govern
ment experts in charge have been sent
out through the country to demon
strate and lecture on the various ways
by which the enormous waste Of this
country can be turned into profit
While many subjects Of great interest
were discussed there was, perhaps,
nothing of greater Importance than
the subject of caring for the millions
Of dollars worth of fruits and vege-
tables that go to waste every year, by
the canning process.
The advisability Of canning the sur
plus at home or on the farm, where
produced. was explained by these ex-
perts and steam canning outfits were
shown so that the farmers and their
wives could see how easily this work
can be done. AS the heat of boiling
water is not sufficient to properly
sterilize such foods as vegetables,

In letter to Nature, A. A. Camp

found an iron bedstead with wire mat

In London to be quite effective as an

admiralty signals loudly, and others
quite audibly. including the time sig

Fine Remedy
For Eczema
Also for Salt Rheun, Tet-

Affections.

All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood circula.

plished with S. S. s., the best known and
most highly recommended blood purifier
ever discovered. Its action is very rapid.
It's vegetable nature is such that 1t nat.
urally goes right into the blood, saturates
the entire circulation, bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the skin
TO heal quickly. The action of s, 8, 8. is
tnat OF an antidote, and this fact has
been demonstrated time and time again
IN the most severe forms of weeping
eczema.
Its influence in the tissues where the
tiny arteries transfer the red blood for
the worn out blood to the veins is quite
remarkable and goes on constantly with
every tick of the clock-the beat of the
heart.
And new skin Is thus caused to form
while the germs Of irritating influences
that cause eczema are scattered and their
harmful nature entirely suspended.

EVIDENTLY JOHNNY WAS NOT
Barbers Customer Took Somewhat
Astonishing Question Literally
and There Was Trouble.

Port Jervis had a big revival meet
Ing, and among the converted was q
barber, who had been bad actor in
his day. Once he put some homemade
sea foam on young mans hair which
turned the hair red, and the color
didn't come out for year.
The barber confessed to this and
other crimes. 1t was hard-won con,
version. and the evangelist was elat-
ed. He saw chance for passing re-
i1gion on to host of Port Jervis citi-
zens, utilizing the barber shop as a
gateway.
Over in a corner of the revival hall
he talked to the knight Of the striped
pole.
Now, Mr.. Scissors" said the evan
gelist, you have it in your power to
do great good in the world. You're a
man OF impressive personality, and by
reason OF your position you meet men
In all walks of life.
Instead Of discussing baseball or
nsh1ng with patron, why not say
few words calculated to turn him into
cleaner paths? Remind each, as you
have been reminded, that while he is
large In life he must get ready for
the end, which comes to all men,"
The barber thought that was fine
Idea, and pledged himself. Then he
went back to his shop.
Little old Johnny Looseleaf came in
from his days work at the perfume
factory. Johnny was afraid Of ghosts
and green horses and his wife. He
wanted his whiskers taken off.
The barber got through with the
lathertng and half of the shave with
brief remarks about the fog and the
movement to fill UP the abandoned
canal. He was just poising the razor
over the patrons throat when 1t oc-
Cured to him to address few words
OF inquiry to Looseleaf concerning the
state of his soul.
Johnny" said the barber slowly,
ARE you prepared to die?"
The man in the chair opened his
eyes and saw the razor, then the high
light in the eye Of the other.
What's that?" he shouted.
With which he did lightning leap
from the chair, wrested the razor
from the barber and threw that gen.
tleman through his own plate-glass
window.

unanimously endorsed by experts in

Many parts of the country are or

Being Convinced.

It is said that Andrew Carnegie'i
use of simple spelling has "irritated"
some people on the other side of the
water, who have read his published
speeches on certain subjects. "The
effect on the reader" says one man,
"is irritating, rather than convinc.

this comment, says that if a person
cannot be convinced by reason and
sense, irritation is the next best
thing. Now, whether or not one be,
