MASSAGE FOR THE ELBOWS
General Rule That If Persevered in
Will Shortly Produce a Most De-
sirable Improvement.

In using any sort of cold cream on
the elbows fill the palm of one hand
with little, place the opposite elbow
in it and rub around and around; this
will bring about softening and
smoothing of the skin, especially if
first the process recommended for the
skin of the face is carried out; soft
cloths wrung out of warm water; ap-
piled until the skin feels warm and is
pink; then the scrubbing with a me-
d.um brush, which is good for the ell
bows, if not always right for the face,
and then the rinsing and drying, fol-
lowed by the cold cream we'll rubbed
in.
A fortnight would show improve
ment; month decided change for
the better and so on until the tough,
red. bony elbows are rounded. dim
pied, white and great beauty.
If cocoa butter must be used to
make them plumper, use that in
place of the cold cream, but always
finish with spray of cologne or toi-
let vinegar which prevents the growth
of the superfluous hair. But the mas
sage is just the same, no matter
which emollient is used. The rubbing
If the arms are too thin, should be
from the wrists upwards to the shoul-
ders, never downward, and while
about it, begin at the tips of the fin
gers and rub clear to the shoulder, 60
ing around and around with plenty of
cocoa butter which should be slightly
warmed on the palms of the hands.
Such measures should always be ta-
ken at night; the oil, whatever is
used, should be allowed to remain on;
it will soon be entirely absorbed by
the dry. thirsty pores.

HELPS THE TAX ROLLS.
value Of Accretion Land in Barton
County Amounts to Large Sum.

The value Of a few acres Of ac-
cretion land on a single farm along
the river is generally considered to
Oe a trifling amount, but taken in
the aggregate for an entire county it
It amounts to a sum of considerable
magnitude.
According to the report of County
Clerk Younkin, 1884 acres of accre-
ton land along the Arkansas river
mas been plated and placed on the
tax rolls this summer and fall the to-
tai value of which amounts to $685.
O2O.OO, and is divided among the town
Ships through which the river runs
as follows:
Pawnee Rock Twp.-45 acres, val
ue $780,
Liberty Twp 40 acres value
S23, 900.
South Bend Twp.-371 acres, value
$500.
Great Bend Fwp.-95.4 acres, value
$3,76O.
Lakin Twp.-262 acres, value $1O,-
600.
Comanche Twp.-S41 acres, value
,$18,O6O.
This means a big difference in the
TAX rolls for the county for this
year. Mr.. Younkin says there is
still a considerable amount of the
'accretion land to be surveyed and
plated in the county, which would
bring the total amount up to about
$4,000.

GOING TO SAVE SEED.
Many Farmers Report Fine Stands
Of Volunteer Wheat.

Reports have reached this office Of
farmers IN all parts Of the county
who have such fine stands of volun.
teer wheat that they are going to
let the same stand and believe 1t
will make a good crop next year.
It is not generally considered that
the volunteer wheat has much Of a
show to make a crop in this country,
but conditions are so different this
fall that the farmers believe it will
turn out all right. The main objec-
tion to the volunteer crop is that it
starts too early in the fall, and the
stand Is generally bunchy and un-
even, but that crop this year, on ac-
count Of the dry weather did not be-
gin to show up until the recent rains,
and the stand seems to be very even
on most Of the fields.
Dave Ewing, who was in from the
west side Saturday, reported that
he had started drilling 175 acre
field, but after working for a couple
of days had made up his mind that
he was wasting good seed, and will
let the rest of the field go as it is.
He says the stand as fine and
even a person could desire, and
he believes it will make fully as good
a crop as if drilled in. Dan Bird,
Charley Archer and a number of his
other neighbors have fields in the
same condition and are going to pur.
sue the same policy. Frank Komar-
elk, John Doherty and a large num-
Der of the farmers north and east Of
Ellinwood, have fields with an ex-
cellent stand OF volunteer growth and
it is reported that much of this will
be left without sowing. Mr.. Komar-.
ek has one field of thirty acers now
large enough to pasture and it is
said the stand Is as even and pref
ty as was ever seen. If the wheat
will turn out all right it is going to
save the farmers OF this county sew,
eral thousand dollars worth Of seed
wheat, and will also save them many
thousands of dollars which would be
spent for feed, as it is said that the
volunteer wheat should be pastured
heavily to make a good crop.
