scrub the scalp and what kind of soap
you use, you will never be able to re-
move dandrUff. A teaspOOnful of eggOl

culiar chemical action, in that it dis

dandruff scales. AS a head wash and
shampoo it simply has no equal The
lather is wonderfully rich and it leaves
the hair easy to do up; Enough eggol
for about a dozen of these splendid
hcad-washes can be secured at any
drug store at a moderate price.

Dieting will do no good. It is also
impossible to pinch out all the tiny
blackheads, but you may remove them
all in a few moments, much to your

find that the blaCkheads have entirely

ONE BED FOR THE COURT.
II Was Big One, Though, and Held
All It's Numerous Members.


The first courthouse OF Henry
county. ILL.,. was frame structure,
eight feet by fourteen. set In the
midst Uf an uninhabited prairie. But
as little villages began to spring up in
the county lively contention for the
honor of being the county seat began.
Cambridge finally won, for it was
nearest the center of the county.
This was in the forties of the last
century. The first session Of circuit
court was at hand and Cambridge was
on its mettle to entertain the court
suitably. The difficulties to anything
but pioneer courage and resourcefuI-
ness would have seemed insuperable.
The village cOusisted~of eight or ten
little dwellings. tiny general store, a
blacksmith shop. and carpenter shop.
The new courthouse was unfinished,
but would be used. as the session for
tunately fell In the summer.
Now the housewives laid their heads
together to contrive how the court

almost nothing that could be bought,
except sugar. molasses. tea. coffee and

ply of yellow legged chickens. home
cured hams. milk. eggs, butter and
cream, as well as their vegetable gar
dens to draw on. There was no fresh
fruit. but they brought out their cher
iShed stores of wild plum marmalade
and wild crabapple preserves. Both
were made with molasses, and after
they had sufficient time to season were
really delicious. Besides. the hillsides
We're pink with the beautiful wildwood
sOrrel. the leaves of which make de-
licious pies in skillful hands.
The village boasted one group OF
forest trees, small grove of sugar
naples, half mile away, and in their
shade Mr. Atwater built long table
with sawhOrses and boards. With the
combined stock OF table linen, crockery
and cutlery possessed by the house
wives the table was laid with suffi-
cient elegance, according to pioneer
standards. 1t was felt that the 9.
would be properly feasted, but
about lodging? That was the real diff.
fculty. The tiny houses and their
beds were full to overflowing with
their proper inmates.
But there was the loft OF the car
penter shop. The store had a whole
bolt Of unbleached muslin. 1t was
torn into lengths equal to the length
OF the loft and sewed together by
hand, Of course.
Then the loft floor was covered deep
with nice clean shavings. the immense
sheet laid over them and tackled to the
walls all the way round. On this
Brobdingnagian bed the court lay in
two rows. From the extra supply re-
quired for winter enough quilts were
mustered to cover the sleepers. AS for
pillows no one gave thought to those
eneminate luxuries. The lawyers
might lay their heads on their saddle
bags or their rolled up coats and be
thankful.
Thus was the circuit court sumptu-
Ously fed and sufficiently lodged,
thanks to the ingenious women Of
Henry county.-Youth's Companion.

Cost Of Fertilizing Alfalfa
Reduced Many Per Cent

During the last three years the ex-
pertinent station has been conducting
extensive fertilizer experiments on
fruit trees and alfalfa in this valley.
These experiments have been con-
Quoted in various orchards and on
various farms in all sections of the
valley.
During this time very valuable and
interesting results have been obtained
from the use of commercial fertilizers
on alfalfa. 1t has been found that
on some types of soil the yield of al
falfa can be increased from 25 to
500 per cent by the use of either SUI
perphosphate or gypsum. 1t has also
been found that no increase in yield
OF alfalfa has been obtained on these
soils by the use of potash, nitrogen
or lime when used as fertilizers.
Since superphosphate and gypsum
have such marked increases in the
yield of alfalfa the writer decided to
determine why this was true. 1t is
well known that superphosphate is a
compound OF phosphorus, sulphur,
calcium, oxygen and hydrogen. Oxy-
gen and hydrogen are worthless in
any fertilizer, and for this valley cal
cium is also worthless in fertilizers,
as our soils are naturally so well
supplied with lime. Phosphorus is a
valuable plant food, and many soils
throughout the world are deficient in
this element. The beneficial results
from the use of superphosphate have
always been attributed by chemists to
the element phosphorus Sulphur has
generally been regarded as a worth
less element in commercial fertilizers.
Gypsum or land plaster contains
only calcium, sulphur and oxygen. 1t
has already been stated that calcium
in fertilizers is worthless for our
soils, and oxygen is of no value in
any fertilizer.
We have noted that superphosphate
and gypsum produce similar results
in increasing the yield of alfalfa, but
gypsum contains absolutely no phos-
phorus, potash or nitrogen-the three
chief plant foods contained in COM
mercial fertilizers. Chemists have
therefore concluded that gypsum is
only of indirect value-serving a
chemical function in making availa-

JOHN LEGe's PLAIN TALK.

the Paper In 1897.

the Paper In 1897.
Advertising in the Sun three-uuarterS
or century ago was worded more pic
turesquely than it is now in some re.
spects. No big type was used, but the
advertisements hit the mark without
lts>aid. 1t is to be doubted il some Of
the advertisements which appeared
then could get into print now, for they
We're outspoken to degree which
would offend modern susceptibilities.
For example, here is an advertisement
which appeared in the Sun OF May o6.
1887:
To Shoemakers-10 Kackmen Wanted. -
The subscriber gives the highest CITY
wages for good work and begs those
worthless who would fitch him OF his stuffs
not 10 visit him. 1t would be an agree
able surprise to him il John Kemp, Thom-
as Pringle. Isaac Morgan and a few 9TH
ers would bring in the work they have so
long forgotten to return.
JOHN LEGG, 1854 Sth avenue.
The trade supplied cheap and good.
"Kackmen" seems to have gone out
OF use completely. 1t is not given in
any of the modern dictionaries. but one
of them has "cack, baby's shoe"
which 1t calls shoemakers' cant.
In the same number of the Sun r.
Baxter of 8 Fulton street advertised
that he wanted broken bottles, but he
did not state his use for them. There

GOOD ADVICE.

The Salisbury Post gives the fol-
lowing timely advice to the farmers
of the South:
1T is quite evident that the South
mas raised another bumper" cotton
crop. This would be Wonderfully
inspiring news were the staple bring
ing price to put money into the
growers pocket and urge him on TO
another crop.
But cotton is not bringing n sat
lstactory price, by any means. and
,here seems little prospect of it's
bringing satisfactory price any
time soon. Might we not lust as
well realize this and make plans ac-
cordingly?
lf we have fifteen million bales
and the American spinners use six
million are we not at sea with a
great portion of the other nine mill
lion bales?
suppose anything we like about
the European war. that it will soon
be over, will last three years or ten,
can we find anything to urge us on
10 growing another fifteen million
pale crop In the immediate future?
What would be the result-ard
the price-if the South would plant
a large acreage and grow a big crop
OF cotton in 1915? What would be
the prospects for a legitimate, cost
producing price?
If these be true conditions ought
we not turn our attention to other
things-to grain, fruit, truck, poul-
try and stock? We do not feel like
advising the farmers what to put
his land to. 1t is for him to look
conditions squarely in the face and
work out his own problems-notf for
us to advise him. But one thing is
ceftaln- we nave all got TO JnlnK
and think hard. The day is upon
us Tor mixing Dralns-more DralnS
with our work whatever that work
may be, and adjusting ourselves to
a changing cunuILIOn-a new uav.
In the meanwhile let's pay our
bills. put all the money in the bank
possible and with an abiding faith
in our neighbor and our glorious
country go forward with all conf
dence ana unalrald or nounIng the
future may have in store for us.

TIME TO SPEAK OUT.

We repeat again the question, we
have propounded to tie citizens of
this community, what are you going
to do about the illicit sale of liquor
going on in our midst? 1t is possi-
BILE that our people, especially the
moral, religious and law-abiding
portion OF them, will continue to sit
with folded hands and allow things
to go on as they have been? Where
are the ardent prohibitionists who
fought so hard to have the dispen-
series run out of the county? We've
they not told by the dispensarites
that If the county voted for prohi-
bition, thereby doing away with the
dispensaries, we would have the
evil of liquor still and would get no
revenue from its sale? There seems
to be force in the argument, judging
from present conditions. If these
conditions go on how will the force
of this argument be met by state
wide prohibitionists when the issue
comes before the people to be pass
people to be considering these and
other questions. So far as we are
concerned, if what we are having
now in our community is prohibition.
We are frank to say we don't relish
it, The News has suggested that
the opponents of the Illicit huuor
traffic speak out in no uncertain way
and has offered its columns in this
behalf to the public. After all no
law, however rigid is worth much
unless it has strong moral support
behind it. We were told by a promi-
nent citizen a few days since that
the reason the blind tigers were be-
ing run out of kershaw was because
there was, and always had been.
such a sentiment in that community.
We believe that the sentiment in the
town of Lancaster is against pres-
ent conditions end all that is neces-
sary is for it to crystalize and some
'hing VIII be doing and that right
early. But SO long as the moral
forces in the community are inactive
the present disgraceful conditions
VIII continue. We call for a public
expression OF opinion on the part OF
our people. Don't be afraid to ex-
press yourself for we feel warrant
ed IN saying the majority of the
people are with you.

Whenever possible buy goods made
In Anderson. We have one @. the
largest outing flannel and fancy cot
ton dress goods mills I'm the South
and It's products are sold all over the
country, yet it is seldom that a local
purchaser calls for the goods made
right here. Our mills turn out the
best grades OF sheeting, drills ETC..
yet nobody has thought to demand
Ire local product. We help along
foreign industries and neglect our
own.
The holiday season is coming on.
More than the usual quantity of
goods will be purchased. There
should be enough thought for the
welfare of this community to keep
every dollar at home. The buy at
home movement should be kent up
as a matter of loyalty to local busi-
ness and as our aid to local pros-
perity.-Anderso Mail.

PRACTICE ECONOMY.

Now is the time for the practic-
ing OF the strictest economy on the
part of everybody. All will agree
that times now are hard" but no
one can tell how much harder thev
VIII become. Those who have little
should make it go as far as possible
and those who have much should
economize so that they will be in a
position to help those who may not
be able to help themselves. 1t is a
matter of uncertainty as to how long
the war in Europe may last. AS
long as 1t does last, however, there
VIII be little relief from the present
depressed conditions, so that it be-
hooves everybody to curtail their
expenditures wherever possible.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The recent fire st West Orange.
| n. j., which destroyed whole
block of concrete buildings belong
ing to Thomas A. Edison, the great
est mechanical and inventive genius
of this, or any other age, caused the
great Wizard" loss of several
million dollars, outside of what
little insurance he had These
buildings were erected some years
ago to house his machinery and other
things connected with, his work end
were supposed to indestructible by
fire. This must have been great
blow to Mr.. Edison, who Is now
! sfxty-six years old, his loss rep
resenting the work OF almost l'fe
time. but the great man, like a true
philosopher, instead of crying. over
SPILLED milk on the day after the
fire, commenced the work of clear
ing away the debris. preparatory to
erecting new buildings. To some,
reporters who interviewed hffn
shortly after the fire he said:
"Im pretty well burpsSbAoHt lust
now, boys. but I'll start all over to-
morrow. Therell be some rapid mo-
bolizing here when the debris cools
off and is cleared away. III go right
to work to build the plant over again
1t is just temporary setback, don't
forget that"
Such spirit should animate the
people of the South in these times
of depression. y great many can
only talk of the hard times and the
hard blow that has been dealt them.
If they had the grit of Mr.. Edison
they would redouble their enc gies
and learning the lesson which the
present teaches they would face the
future with undaunted courage and
turn what seems against them into
veritable blessings.
