asset in the rural home; the rural
free delivery brings the worlds daily

delivers ten million packages per an
mum to half million homes and the
automobile annihilates distance, max
ing isolation a myth. The building of
public highways has brought commun-
tiles and farm homes closer together.

How To Remove Fruit Stains

In the Exchange" department of the July Weman's Home Companion-a department devoted to household sug- gestions made by contributions out of their practical experience appear the following suggestions as to the best ways of removing fruit stains. The first is contributed by New York wo- man and the second by an Iowa wo- man:
 Whenever 1 find a fruit stain on tablecloths or napkins, I wet it with a little champion If this is done be- fore the stain has been wet with water the stain will entirely disappear when the articles are laundred
 ''To remove fruit stains from table linen eaisly and surely, simply mois- ten the stain with pure glycern be- fore sending clothes to the laundry. Twenty-Five cents worth of glycerin will probably last theordinary family year or more at least"

GettinQ Rid of Bot Flies.

The United States department of az riculture has recently thoroughly test ed very unusual cure for the disease of horses called bots. Bots are the larvae of the. horse bot fly, and live in the stCmachs of the horses. They interfere with digestive processes to such an extent as to cause loss of flesh, generally poor condition, and often death Dislodging them is ex- tremely difficult
 In the treatment tested the horse was fed a little hay and oats in the morning, and allowed to go without food the rest of the day. In the eve ming a purgative was given Next morning the horse was given three drams of carbon bisulphid in a gelatin capsule three times at intervals of an hour When the capsule reached the horses stomach it dissolved; and the carbon bisulphtd, liquid that is ex- tremely volatile at the temperature of horses body, evaporated rapidly. The gas sutfocated the bots and other parasites in the horses stomach with out injuring the horse in the least. The remedy was tried with complete success on large number of affected animals.

Wanted a Little Praise Himself.

Following disastrous fire in a vest ern city, many men and women gath cred to look at the ruins Some of the men, seeing that wall near which they were standing was toppling, made haste to get out of the way, and mar rowly escaped being crushed
 Johnny Brabison, a good Irish citi- zen, was so near the wall that he could not escape with the others. So, whirl- ing about, he made for a door in the wall, burst through it, and came out on the other side safe, and evidently very proud of his exploit Women who had shut their eyes and shrieked when they saw his danger now gath cred round him in great joy, and cried out:
 Praise heaven, Johnny Brabison Gown on your knees, and thank heaven!"

THE STORY OF ExOGYRA
An Extinct Oyster-Iike AEoilusk Which Enables Ge0IogistS to Identify Rock Formations.


 Many thousands ofyears ago, before the birth Of the Rocky Mountains and when the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico fay far inland from their present position when, indeed, the North ,Ameriean continent was relatively very small there lived in the seas and estuar7 ies, together with various species of oysters, vast numbers of a closely related mollusk with a twisted shell which is now known to science as Exogyra- As the years passed, the colonies of Exogyra- flourished, and the places of those that died were taken by younger members, while the old shells became entombed within the slowly accommodating deposits of sand, mud and sIimy ooze. Tn the veIoped in the shape and ornamenta- that were sufficiently pronounced to only to distinguish the shells of mem
 bers of the original colonies from those of their descendants but also to recognize several distinct varieties among the later shells.
 Tn the course of time-a very long time. for we are speaking geological 1y-the stresses which had aecumu- lated within the earth during an ex l tended period of quiesence found re- lief in movements of the outer crust which brought about the upiift oi the Rocky Mountains and materially altered the shape and size of the ocean basins.

 Raymond Hitchcock. one of the very few comedians capable of convey ing his sense of humor across the foot lights with never falling artistic sue cess is announced for the Park Thea. Ire next Monday night
 Yankee to the core, Raymond Hitch : cock is skilled in turning the audi ence into seas of laughter with every line he speaks. which is one way of saying that he has the satIrical knack developed to a remarkable degree. Hitchcoek is buoyant incorrigible ing the special expression of his marked individ ua1it Added to this he has enor1n ous spirits and great relish for his own fun. so that it is little wonder that any play to which he lends these unusual qualities should succeed.
 As matter Of fact few Of them have failed to score, and score heav- fly. so heavily thai Raymond Hitch cock has become one of the foremost fun makers the American stage has ever known and is one of the few act- ors whose name alone attracts box of 7ceward.
 The Beauty Shop is the play Ray nlond Hitchcock is lending his 'exuber- ance to this season Itls a musical comedy from the pens of C.hanning g Pollock, RennoId Wolf and Charles J. Gebest, the first two gentlemen having contributed the book and lyrics while the latter supplied the musical score Tn 1t MT. Hftchcock appears as a first aid to ladies whose faces and figures do not measure up to the stan ward of Lillian Russell and Maxine Elliott 1oveliness. With this as the cr1x of their story the authors are said to have turned out stage gar ment that is partIc uIarly suited to the Hitchcock requirements, and to add to it's effectiveness Conan & Harris have surrounded their star with a large east and chorus whose indiyid- ual and collective efforts contribute materially to the success that is cred ited to Raymond Hitehcock's account.
