WHY NOT SOME WHEAT?
While we are not much farmer

While we are not much farmer
and probably not eligible to give
advice. still we cannot refrain
from suggesting that a good
acreage of wheat would not be a
bad idea this fall. There is now
a fine season in the ground, and
at this season of the year, will
remain there for a long time even
with no more moisture. but the
winter months always bring more
or less snow or ram, which viii
keep a good season going the
entire time that the wheat is in
the making.
1t would make good winter
pasture at least. and that alone
will probably be worth much tc
the man with a few hundred
head OF cattle.

Sunshine, PIants-and Girls,

Sunlight is SO important to life that
1t is little wonder that sun worshipers
prevailed in primitive days. Plant a
potato in your cellar, and If there is a
little light the potato will sprout and
try to grow. Surround 1t with the best
fertilizer, water it, and do the best you
a. for it except that you keep it in the
dark, and 1t cannot digest and grow.
See how slender and pale it is. The
process OF digestion, the great function
OF assimilation, cannot go on without
sunshine. Natures laws are the same
in the animal world. 1t is just as true
that the only girls with red cheeks
and sweet breaths, the only girls who
become fully ripe and sweet, are those
who baptize themselves fully in glori-
Gus sunshine. The many pale girls who
are to be seer with q ~bloodless, half
baked sort Of face, whose walk, whose
voice and whose whole expression Is
devoid of spirit, are not half ripe.

Acoustics Of Halls.

DR.. CasteX read "a paper recently on
the relation between the acoustic
(sound) properties of public halls and
hearing and phonation, that is, voice
production. He said that the acous-
tics of many halls were excellent, but
in other cases they We're bad. There
were yet others in which the acoustic
properties were satisfactory for the
audience, but deplorable for the speak
er, on account Of the strain imposed
on him. The reason Of these differ.
ences he could not explain. Halls
might be bad by eason of ~dea["a5s,
of OverreSOnance, or on ccOun of
echo. The materials of construction
undoubtedly exercised an influence.
Wood, glasswork and marble afforded
good resonance, draperies bad. Stone
and plaster were regarded as neutral.
In course OF time the drying Of the
material improved its sonorousness,
Cupolas created u~nfavorable condl
tons. which exaggerated resonance
Speaking generally. good halls were
those in which one OF the dimensions
exceeded the other. Round and square
halls were less satisfactory.

Edison J.. Chamberlin, president Of the
Grand Trunk railway. who now shares
with Charles S. Mellen a certain jeop-

Chamberlin was a division superin-
tendent on a smaller New England
railroad and sometimes used a special
car. A general superintendent, in in
specting the road, spied Chamberlin's
car attached to a train.
The division superintendent" he
was told.
Cut it off. Cut it OFF," was the or
der in a gruff voice.
Later Chamberlin became president
of the road on which his former SUI
perior was general manager. One day
Chamberlin came upon a special car.
Whose car is that?' he asked.

STAG ALMOST HELD ITS OWN
Animal Running on English Track
Kept Fairly Ahead Of Train for
Some Miles.

A stag, appropriately named Light
ming, after being hunted for an hour
by the Essex staghounds, jumped on
the railroad line near Felsted, In
front of a passenger train, and a
race ensued, in which the stag kept
the lead for -four miles.
The description famous" applied
to the stag by a local correspondent.
suggests that it had been hunted by
the hounds on many previous occa-
sionG. 1t was brought up to Smiths
farm in a cart and liberated, the
hounds being then put on its trial.
They were quite close to the stag
when it sought refuge on the rail
way. Finally the stag. with foam
dropping from it's mouth, turned
through a fence at Rayne. 1t was
much exhausted, but it's four-mile
chase by the train had saved it from
its natural enemies for the time being,
at least.
The driver of the train says he blew
his whistle several times in the hope
that the stag would turn aside, but II
never left the track till Rayne vas
reached. He had to slacken speed
several times to avoid running into
it.-London Chronicle.

The Railroad and the Auto.

When the electric light first began
to be used commercially, something
less than 40 years ago. those who
we're interested In a plants and gas
securities thought their business and
investments were ruined, but in due
time the increased use of gas for pur-
poses other than light made a demand
that permitted properly capitalized
and we'll managed gas plants to sue
coed as we'll as they did before the
electric light entered the field. And SO
it will be with the automobile. It's
use will take away for the time being
something from the railroads, but in
the long run the introduction Of the
automobile will add more than it takes
away.
There is a curious economic fact de
veloped by the use of the automobile
in passenger business. People who OBJ
ject to the standard railroad fare OF
three cents a mile and clamor loudly
for a reduction to two cents a mile
will pay 10, % or ever so cents a mile
for being carried in IN automobile

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
I began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until it formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights l could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching 1t
would burn SO dreadfully that I
thought l could not stand it. For near
ly a year l tried all kinds of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
"One day I saw an advertisement OF
Cuticura Remedies. l got a sample OF
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment and began by washing the sores
with the Cuticura Soap, then applying
the Cuticura Ointment twice a day.
I noticed a change and got more Cuti-
ura Soap and Ointment and in a few
weeks I was cured. It has healed 80
