Scarcely Worth Qualifying For.

In all other callings in life, men and
women generally realize that they
must have certain qualifications for
success, but in that world-old institu-
ton Of matrimony. they often hope
TO enter happily, forgetting that it is
most essential TO have eduable quail
ties, and this fact brings forth an in
cident.
\ young man of very meager cul-
ture fell in love with a young woman
of decidedly superior character and
intellectual attachments. He watched
her career with great pride. yet never
awakening TO the fact that he might
improve himself in many ways. One
day he said TO her. ardently: Dear
est, I have waited for you all these
years and | shall keep on waiting I'M
til you marry me. You are the only
girl ever met who qualified"
She looked him over with a studied
gaze and said, Qualified? What do
you mean? Qualified for what?"

MORE PLEASANT IN COUNTRY
Thousands Of People In Cities Who
Would Be Far Better or Ma
king Living on Farm.

The modern farm house, with its
labor saving appliances, its piano, its
books and magazines, it's compare
lively short hours of toll, and its mani
fold interests, is an unknown quantity
to the city woman, who thinks she is
in a small fat. where she
is under the dominion of the cook and
the janitor.
The average city dweller is afraid.
perhaps, OF the drudgery and long
hours which undoubtedly prevail on
the farm. But the drudgery on the
farm Is not like the drudgery Of the
city, which has twin suffering. It is
a mistake to think that the farmer
works longer hours at harder work
than the man in the city. There are
thousands of people in our large cities
who would be infinitely better of,
morally, physically and financially,
making a living in the country by no
harder work and without the misery
involved in cheap living in the cities,
where good. healthful foods are well
nigh beyond the meager allowance of
the workingman's scanty purse.

KNOWLEDGE for the Poor.

For the we'll man, or woman. diet
etc knowledge is primarily a question
Of dollars and cents, but for the poor
man. particularly with a family of
growing children. this aspect of the
case may have a very powerful effect
upon health. AS DR.. Graham Lusk
has very we'll said, the laboring mans
efficiency depends upon his stocking,
and every man. or his wife, should be
a competent fireman at this sort of
stocking. No one. for example, having
trouble to make both ends meet should
spend money for a can of tomatoes,
or any one of dozens of other So
called foods, which have, comparative
ly speaking, no food value whatever.
1t is ordinarily estimated that hard
working man requires about three
thousand calories a day, an office
man about two thousand five hundred.

PAINFUL ECZEMA ON HANDS

Bienville, La was troubled with
eczema In my hands for several years
The skin would break and look like
it had been cut with a knife and my
hands were so sore I could hardly
bear to put them in water and could
hardly use them. When l used them
the blood would run out. They would
heal little and then they would get
worse than ever again. They were
very painful. The eczema got to
breaking out on my arms in pimples
which itched and burned very badly.
Il used different remedies, also used
all kinds Of facial creams and
on my hands and arms and did not
get any relief until I used Cuticura

After Dinner.

Once there were twin brothers who
were as like each other as two peas.
They sailed away to the South seas
and went ashore upon certain island.
Cannibals caught one of them and ate
him. The other managed to hide in
the breadfruft fields till nightfall. Then
he, too, was discovered and dragged
into the middle Of the village, where
the men of the tribe sat around
large pot still making after-dinner
speeches. The cannibals stared at the
newcomer in blank amazement. Then
the chief rose and said:
Gentlemen. let him go. He is alb
solutely indigestible."

LIMESTONE ON STICKY SOIL
Warns and loosens Clay Land, I'm
proves Ventilation and Makes
Drainage More Effective.

A new use for limestone that has
not yet become very general, but
which. in some places, would be q
valuable aid on the soil. Lime has
a way of focculating the soil into par
ticles, so that IT Is less adhesive and
has a looser structure. On a sticky
piece of clay on Frank L Mann's ILL
nois farm 20 tons Of ground limestone
to the acre has been applied. 1t loos-
ened the ground amazingly. and there
is now no trace Of the former sticki-
ness. While the water stood in this
spot because the ground was so tight
before. it now drains out quickly and
is easy to keep in good condition.
Limestone applied heavily on clays
will warm and loosen them, will i'm
prove the soil ventilation and make
drainage easier and more effective.

LIQUOR MEN Stirred
BY Double TAX TALK
Threaten RepriSals Upon
Administration Leaders
in Congress
FEAR 1T WOULD STAY
UP AS PERMANENT TAX

WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.-Adminis-
tration leaders in Congress are perturb-
ed over the threats OF reprisal made by
the liquor interests If the burden Of a
war tax is placed on them.
When it became apparent last week
that a war tax of some sort must be
levied. the suggestion was promptly pro-
poscd bv treasury officials and approved
bv the administration, that the inter-
nal revenues on beer and whisky be
doubled. The treasury statisticians fig
ured that this, combined with a stamp
tax on legal instruments and an m
creased tax on tobacco, would make up
the necessary revenue.
Now. however, the liquor men have
come forward in strength with a de-
mana that the war tax be distributed
equally. The reason for their demand
is their belief that after the war is
over. no steps will be taken TO reduce
the excise taxes if it is found the con-
eumine public will stand for them.
Already the effects Of the war on the
tariff are being figured In connection
with future revenue measures. Con
rressmen believe that European hostil-
itios will necessitate reduction OF the
tariff on all articles Of food, clothing
and shelter to a free trade basis after
The war is over. To make up for the
revenue now obtained from the customs
duties on the importations Of these
articles some sort Of internal taxation
must be proposed. The obvious oblec.
five for that taxation is the liqur and
tobacco business.

FELL FROM STEAMER,
browns IN RIVER
William M. Larkin, Aged 20,
ToppIed From Wilson Liner
While Handling Rope
SEEK HIS RELATIVES
IN PHILADELPHIA

Within view Of a large number of
passengers who we're unable to aid
him, William Miller Larkin, % years
OF age, whose home is at No. 1914
Mount Vernon street, Philadelphia.
fell from the Wilson liner City of
Philadelphia, in the Christiana river
off LObdell's canal and sank to death
shortly after o'clock yesterday af-
ternoOn.
Larkin was a lookout of the boat
and was outside Of the railing OF the
first deck preparing TO throw a rope
when he lost his balance and fell
into the water. Passengers say he did
not come up and IT, is believed he was
struck by the vessels hull and made
unconscious When the cry of "man
overheard" was heard the liner was
stopped and a boat lowered. Search
for Larkin proved unsuccessful at
that time.
After the steamboat had docked,
several men with graphing irons
went to the scene of the drowning in
a small boat but have not recovered
the body as yet.
After being notified OF the drown
ing Captain Horace Wilson issued in
structions TO Philadelphia representa-
tives of the company to go to No.
1914 Mount Vernon street and inform
occupants of the house that Larkin
was dead. This was done, but it was
said at the Philadelphia address that
no one there was acquainted with the
man.
Captain Wilson then sent the fol-
lowing telegram to r. w. Larkin,
1904 Diamond street, Pittsburgh,
Pa:
william NJ Larkins drowned today
near Wilmington. Have not recovered
body. Using every effort Understand
he was your son. If so, advise your
desires"
The telegraph company returned
the message with the announcement
that il was impossible to locate a
person named r. w. Larkin. Cap
tain Wilson was much surprised at
the rejection Of the telegram and at
news received from Philadelphia. He
hopes something will develop which
will bring some one of Larkin's rela-
tives the information that Larkin is
dead Meanwhile the body is being
searched for.
