London BUS Vanishinn.

In view of the inquiry now in prog
ress In London in connection with the
city's motor traffic, including the ques-
ton of the motor bus, it is of inter
est to note that while in 1908 there
were $500 horse buses plying the
streets of the metropolis this number
has now been reduced to 100, and it is
expected that by the beginning OF 1914
the horse bus will have finally van
ished. Richard Tilling, whose we'll
known firm started the famous Till
ing buses in the year of the great
exhibition with single one-horse ON
nibus, recently stated that there will
not be single omnibus horse seen in
London by the end of this year" Old
horse buses are now used as bunga-
lows and cricket pavilions, and though
the average original cost of each was
$500, they are now sold for about SIS
piece.

ITCHING TERRIBLE ON LIMB

r.. F. D. No. 8, Clarkfeld, Mimi
my trouble was of long standing. 1t

low spots about the size of a pin head
on my leg and every morning there
was a dry scale on top covering the
affected part and when those scales
were falling off the itching was more
than / could stand at times. The first
year 1 did not mind it so much as it
was only itching very badly at times,
but the second year 1t advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. / had to be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose. At night time often
happened to scratch the sore in my
sleep. Then had to stand up, get out
of bed and walk the floor till the spell
was over.

many different kinds of medicine but
without any success. l got cake of

William C. Redfield, the new secre-
tary of commerce, began making his
way in the world at fifteen. At that
age he was employed as a clerk in the
Pittsfield (Mass.) postoffiee at three
dollars week. His next step was as
salesman for a paper company. From
Pittsfeld he went to New York, secur-
ing a similar place with a paper
house. Some time later he became an
accountant for a tool manufacturing
company rose to the presidency Of the

GOATS MILK is EXCELLENT
iothinq Better for Children, as 1t ls
Almost Entirely Free From
Dreaded tuberculosis.

The common milk goat can be kept
~ the families who cannot afford to
reep a COW and as the milk of the goat
S highly nutritious it is an excellent
substitute for the cows milk. For
children there is nothing better and it
g well-known fact that it is almost
entirely free from tuberculosis.
But, answering a question of a cor
respondent as to whether it is profit
able to keep common goats on the
farm for the milking purposes, we
should say that as a general rule it is
aot
Goats require the proper feed just
the same as other animals if they are
expected to give large quantities of
milk and unless one lives near large
city where goats milk can be sold to
hospitals and rich private patients OF
physicians, it cannot be disposed of to
advantage.
Common goats are cheap to begin
with; they cost little If small flock
is kept on large farm, as they can
pick up a pretty FAIR living by brows-
inc on the place.
On the other hand, the odor from
the bucks is intolerable to most people.
Goats are difficult to conf1ne within
bounds as they will climb fences of
almost any height, and their favorite
summing place is the top of the barn
roof. Altogether, we should say that
the common milk goat is entirely out
of place on the average farm. Used
to supply milk, for special purposes
or by people who are unable to keep a
COW, they are more or less valuable.

is often due to borers or the scale
insects or beetles, the presence of

pected, but which injuries might have
been prevented if the facts had been
known in time. More sudden losses
are caused by overwhelming attacks
of leaf-eating insects, which, although
conspicuous, are not dealt with be-

But, of late years, a great work has
been accomplished along this line
through proper experiments and OBJ
servations. Careful examinations are
being made of the affected trees and
shrubs and the life history of the
insects causing the injuries is being
studied deeply. This is in order that
authorities in control of parks, boule
wards and streets, and owners OF
lawns and other private premises may
become posted on the habits and char
acteristics of the pests, and know
how to combat them.

The spraying of large elms is, of
course, a difficult and expensive oper-
alton, and the canker-worms, which
cause great injury to these trees, are
less susceptible to arsenical poisons
than many other insects. A cheap
and efficient method of protecting the
tree is the preparation of adhesive
preparations, for trapping the insects
which creep up or down the trunks
of the trees.
When the elm caterpillars are full
grown they leave the tree to pupate
in the earth. and the female moth
emerging, being wholly without wings,
can only reach the tree to lay her
eggs by climbing up the trunk. II
this is encircled at the proper time by
a sticky band impossible by her or
by young worms just emerging from
the egg, the tree is virtually secure
against cankerWorm injury.
Tho sticky substance may be ap-
piled directly to the bark as deter
rent against the attack of borers, or
may be used on bands of paper, tin,
or strawboard. For the elm leaf

VANITY CASES OF ODD DESIGN
Manufacturers Have Devised Many
New Ideas for This Indispens-
able Appendage.

The vanity case has become so
much a part of a woman's outfit that
the manufacturers are discovering
many odd ways for her to carry 1t.
To take ones powder puff and lip
rouge from ones handbag has become
commonplace; now woman can tuck
these in her bracelet. One of the new
kind has flexible links of gold wire,
with the vanity box on top in the
shape of an oval medallion with
handsome monogram.
Or she can wear it around her neck
as sautoir. Fascinating vanity pend
ants are shown of all styles and
prices, from tiny ones of French jew
elry to diamond studded boxes no
bigger than a child's locket. Among
the most popular of the vanity cases
for the neck are those of colored Rus
sian enamel on a linked chain to
match.
Again, one may carry vanity box
ON the end of the parasol or as the
head of big hatpin, disguised as a
charm for her chatelaine, or even set
in one of the big buttons that orna-
ment her corsage draperies. One
girl, who wore a watch on the back
Of one riding glove, had set in the
other a small vanity case ready for
instant use when she dismounted. An
other girl has a similar case in the end
of her crop.

sewed to the interior of them.

with a little salt and sulphur, should
be kept in a trough under cover where
the pigs can get it when wanted. This

Use for Gull Potatoes.

When potatoes come in, use the
small ones that are of the size of
marbles for the hens and chicks. Cook
them and throw them into the poultry
yard, and no preparation will be nee
essary, as the chicks can easily pick
them to pieces. 1t is economical to
use potatoes in this manner, those that
are usually unstable can be converted
into eggs and assist in adding to the
