DIsFIGURED WITH PIMPLEs

R. F. D. No. 2, Box 46, Matthews.
Ga.-"For three years or more was
troubled with pimples and blackheads.
At first my face would itch and burn
and then the pimples would break out.
They looked almost as if had meas
les, causing great Disagreement. They
would make my face very red and
sore. Then they festered and came to
a head and large boils would come on
my chin and nose.
Il also had dandruff which caused
my scalp to itch and burn. 1t itched
and burned so that I had to scratch 1t
until 1t was irritated. The dandruf
scaled of and showed plainly in my
hair. 1t also caused my hair to
break of and become very thin. l

cure and gave but little relief. After

lncorporators Meet and Accept lts
Charter.
Incorporators of the Maryland State
University, created by the late Gen
eral Assembly for the purpose Of
securing afiliation or a better CO
ordination Of work between the vari-
GUS State-aided colleges and institu-
tions, held a meeting in the offices Of
State Senator william Mines Maloy,
in the Fidelity Building. Senator
Maloy was the author Of the bill Great
ing the new institution and fought it
through the Legislature, in connection
with his bill for an educational survey
of the State.
The principal action taken was the
acceptance of the charter by the in
corporators, and motion passed au-
thorizing Senator Maloy to consult
with the Governor as to when the
Board of Regents should hold its first
meeting, and suggesting June Is as the
date.
Thirty-fve incorporators are named
in the law, and Of these II were pres
ent at the meeting.
DR.. Heatwole read the charter, and
it was accepted on motion of Mr..

Seven institutions of learning are af-
fected by the new law, and each has
two representatives on the Board Of
Regents.
In addition to these the Governor
has under the law appointed six more
members of the Board Of Regents, one
from every Congressional district.
The object Of the law is to bring
about unity Of action between the
State institutions of learning and
resulting economy of effort and of
money by co-ordinating and not duph-
eating their efforts. This work will
be done more or less in conjunction
with the work and according to the
recommendations of the educational
survey which was authorized by the
Legislature through the work Of Sen
ator Maloy.
The Governor has, it is understood,
about determined upon his selections
for the board which is expected to see
that the survey is made, and is await
ing the acceptances before announc-
ing it. 1t is said that some of the
most prominent men in the State have
been asked to serve on the board. 1t

POSSIBILITIES OF DAIRYINe
No Line Of General Agriculture VIII

By WILBER ]. FRASER, Professor Of
Dairy Farming. University Of nlinois)
The population Of the United States
has practically doubled In the last 26
years. If this rate of increase con-
tinues for the next rs years we will
have nearly two hundred million peO-
pie to feed Since milk Is one Of the
cheapest animal foods, rightly con-
Quoted dairying is certain to be profit
able.
There is no line Of general agricul-
ture in which well-directed effort will
pay 30 large profit as in dairy farm
Ing, yet its possibilities are little
realized, even by the best men en-
gagged In that occupation. The profits
on most dairy farms might easily be
doubled. Like any other business, it
is made up Of an infinite number Of
small details. and unless all of these
operations are conducted on business
principles, the best results will not
be obtained. The COW is the most
economical producer of human food
of any of our domestic animals, and
as she is the machine for converting
crops into dairy products, the surest
profit and wisest economy is in Sc
curing the best machines obtainable.
One COW may not pay for her board,
while another, with the same amount
of feed and care, may yield a profit

CONSUL SILLIMAN
NOW At VERA CRUZ
Stay at SaItiIlO Due to a Slight
Illness.
WIFE LEFT IN MEXICAN CITY
Stories OF Facing Firing Squads and
OF Other Indlgnities He Was Re-
ported To Have Suffered
Were oVerdraWn.

Vera Cruz.-John R. Silliman, the
American vice consul at Saltillo,
whose arrest there by Federal Off
GERS and detention for many days
brought vigorous protests from the
State Department at Washington ar
rived at Vera Cruz from Mexico City
bearing passports issued by the Brazil
ian minister The vice consul made
the journey from the capital without
an escort, and was not molested.
Mr.. Silliman declined to tell of his
arrest or of the treatment he had re-
ceived at the hands of the Federal au-
thorities. He intimated, however,
that the tales of facing firing squads
and of other indignities he was report
ed to have suffered were much over
drawn.
Mr.. SiIliman said he felt that it was
his duty to report fully to the Depart
ment of State at Washington before
making public a detailed account of
his arrest and his release through the
activity of the British vice consul at
Saltillo. The vice consul personally
conducted the American official to
Mexico City after his release, taking
him to the British legation at the capi-
tai.
The trip to Mexico City from Sal
tillo was interrupted several times by
Bkirmishes between small detachments
Of Constitutionalists and Federal gar
risons at points along the route. The
train on which the Consul travelled
was preceded by a troop train, which
was fired upon repeatedly, and which
was delayed by torn-up sections of the
track.
Mr. Silliman left SaltillO on May
IA and reached the capital three days
later While he would not go into de-
tails as to his experiences there, it is
understood that his protracted stay
was due to slight illness.
Mrs. Silliman is still in Saltillo un-
der the protection of the British con-
sulate. Her husband apparently feels
no anxiety regarding her safety He
expressed satisfaction that he had not
attempted to take his wife to Mexico
City with him, thus subjecting her to
the perils of that trip.
When shown copy of a statement
of his own experiences at Saltillo,
credited to his consular clerk, Joseph
A. Marchani, Mr.. Silliman smiled and
said:
at is evident I shall have to go
over and edit this. l have no wish
to be accommodating but l feel
that my duty requires me to make the
fullest report to the Department of
State before making public whatever
may have to tell"
Mr.. Silliman's attention was then
drawn to Marchani's reported state
ment that the Federals had seized Mr..
Silliman's State Department code and
had accused him of transmitting to
Washington and possibly to the Con-
stitutionalists the dispositions of the
Federal garrison of Saltillo. He said:
my lips must remain sealed on all
these points until 1 have conferred
with my superiors."

GIRL GAMERS IN CONVENTION.
Daughters Of the Farmers Are En-

Daughters Of the Farmers Are En-
couraged.
Denton.-Monday evening there as
sembled in Denton a convention Of
unusual interest and from which there
has come the assurance that the Girls
Canning Clubs and farm demonstra-
ton in this State are permanent fac
tors. The representatives of each of
the six counties where the work has
been organized this year were pres
ent, the Western Shore counties being
Charles, St. Mary's and Anne Arun-
del; the three Eastern Shore, Wico-
mico, Queen Anne's and Caroline.
About 275 girls have been enrolled.
They are cultivating their tenth acre
of tomatoes and goodly number of
housekeepers are interested in canning
all of the surplus on the farm, for
home consumption. All high grade
material that is not needed at home
may, on approval, be disposed of
through the channels established for
the club girls.
Maryland is now one of the Is
Southern States in which work has
been conducted for three or four years,
and the demonstrators are included
among the 300 women agents in those
States.
The keynote sounded throughout the
entire meeting was that of "fel-
low-helping." Wherever the agent
finds any woman or girl doing anything
well, it is the business of that demon
strator to help make greater success
and broaden her opportunities.
DR.. M. Bates Stephens, of whose
system of public instruction this WORK
is part, presided at the meeting, and
said that he was glad to see a return
of movement to enlist the greater
efforts of the homes in the education
of children.
The sessions were visited by the
superintendents of county schools
from Wicomico and Queen Anne's
counties, and E. NJ Noble, superin-
tendent in Caroline county, gave freely
of his time.
The agents returned to their re-
spective territories delighted with
their stay in Denton and convinced
that this work means to get a girl to
do something that is worth while, have
it approved by those she loves and
have it progress.

COW breeds. He says there is an ad-
vantage in having but one breed rep
resented in private dairy herds; that
no two breeds of COWS have the same
kind of milk. The speed Of a sepa-
rator that will skim Jersey milk clean,
will waste butter fat in a Holstein
cows milk. And the temperature of
cream in churning Holstein cream, If
applied to Jersey cream, would keep
the churn on the go for an unreason-
able time, while the same temperature
of Jersey cream, if applied to Holstein
cream, would result in great loss Of
butter fat and soft butter, lacking
grain. There is no difference in churn
ability Of all breeds Of cows, and also
in the separation Of butter fat from
the milk Choose your breed and stick
to It.

RESULTS FROM GOOD SIRES
Decided Contrast Shown to Those Die
tricts Where Scrub or Beef Bulls
Are Still Used.

One county in Iowa where the use
of pure-bred dairy sires was intro
duced 20 years ago now produces
7,4OO pounds Of creamery butter per
square mile each year. This is a de-
cided contrast to those districts
where scrub bulls are still in use, or
where beef bulls are used in dairy
herds. Because the result of using a
well-bred sire cannot be seen for a
year or two, beginners are inclined to
become discouraged. One case is
known where a Hereford sire was be-
ing used in a herd Of high-grade
Guernseys because the man who had
the Hereford bull for sale said they
were pretty good mixers. Such
changes and mixing Of blood never
improve, but invariably weaken the
stock. The first cost of a good dairy
bull calf seems heavy to man not
familiar with them.

Way to salt Rutter.

Placing fresh butter into strong
brine and allowing It to remain until
it has absorbed sufficient salt to pre-
serve it, is one of the best ways to
salt butter. In this way there is no
danger that the butter will not be
salted evenly and thoroughly without
leaving any hard, gritty pieces of salt
in It to disgust the consumer.
