WAR WILL CREATE
DEMAND FOR HORSES

The war in Europe is sure to create
a demand for horses a larger de-
mand than usual several years
to come, thinks ]. S. Montgomery
Assistant Animal Husbandman in
charge of horses at University Farm,
ST. Paul. As result Mr.. Mont
gomers urges the breeding Of horses.
He urges, also, the fall foaling OF
colts, rather than spring foaling- the
customary method. There are he
says, many advantages in having
colts foaled in the fall rather than in
the spring. The mares are in bet
ter condition to work through the
rush. Of seeding and harvesting. Colts
foaled in the fall are not molested BY
mosquitoes and flies. The mare is
better able to nourish the colt during
the winter months, as she will have
little hard work to do then The far
n1er will have more time to look af..
tee, the little animal. The colt will

Then he stole a. look over his shout

Thank you, yes; good-day," said
the wag, and bowed himself gracefully
away from the door, turning as he did
so to look at the chauffeur and say
"Home!"

BEAUTY AND SICK HEADACHES
These Are Sworn Enemies and Few
Women May Keep Both--Some
Simple Remedies.

II you are subject" to sick head
aches, then you may be pretty sure
the marks do not disappear with the
attacks, but remain 10 mar the beau
ty of your face. That drawn look,
those circles under the eyes, the sal.
lowness of the skin--they are all
traces left of the headaches
In nine cases out of ten perhaps
this may be effected by exercising q
little common sense, for whatever the
primary cause, secondarily headaches
are due to disordered nerves. The
first suggestion, then, is control your
nerves. Shut off the tension Let
yourself down. Close your eyes and
shut out thoughts. Remain thus for
five minutes, and tomorrow at noon
repeat the performance, and then the
next day and next and forever Then
put watch over yourself and every
time during the day when you catch
yourself and your nerves getting
frightened into knots 'let down." A
few weeks attention, and you will
find that you have those nerves pref
ty well under control, and if the head
aches haven't stopped annoying alto
gether you are at least now in condi-
ton to deal with them.
Perhaps your system is in weak
ened condition and you need a tonic
which the doctor will prescribe; but
ordinarily camomile tea may be just
what you need, and certainly 1t is
harmless. The less medicine the bet
ter, and never, no matter how dis
turbing the headaches, be persuaded
to try" powders or sleeping draughts.
Better let the headaches take their
course than commence that habit.
Eat simply, avoiding rich foods, and
eat regularly and often rather than
too greedily at time. Drink plenty
of water, including glass of hot wa
ter with half teaspoonful of baking
soda in it once a week and a glass
of water with half q teaspoonful each
of soda and cream of tartar half an
hour before breakfast one morning
out of the SIX.
Take plenty Of rest, snatching a nap
If for only five minutes, in the middle
Of the day. Beware Of eye strain.
Keep the eyes in condition by dous-
ing them with water with salt in it
every night, and keep clear of colds.
In fact, use common sense to elm,
mate the recurrent headache.-Ex-

ADJUSTMENTS
At The Gem Thcater.

An act, the class of which has not
been seen in Cairo for great
while, is presented by William Ba-
ker, the man who mystiIies. Magic,
some call ii, but Mr.. Baker admits
that he is able to accomplish appar-
ent wonders only because the hand
is quicker than the eye, but no mat
ter what he admits, there is an air
OF mystery about his act During
the entire performance he keeps up
steady stream OF conversation
which is very entertaining. Taking
a one dollar bill furnished by a
member of the audience, which has
been concealed in handkerchief,
from the center of a lemon, may
not seem easy, but Mr. Baker says
it is. Pad he says If he could get
the audience TO part with more
money, he would extract large
bank roll from the lemon. He also
performs Tricks with cards and with
solid steel rings which he links to
gether and separates with ease.
Gertrude Dudley and company
are classy entertainers and during
their pianoIogue sing several new
songs, the high treble and tenor
pleasantly blending. The act is
above the average singing act, both
performers having excellent voices
Their dialogue is full Of wit and

CRAFTS PIGSKIN ON MEN

Kansas City, MoA number of he
roes are apt to be thrown out Of jobs
according to DR.. G. S. Venable Of San
Antonio, Tex, who spoke on .The Usa
Of PigsIxin in Grating" before the
Medical Association Of the Southwest
recently In session here.
Doctor Venable, an authority On
skin grating, said the skin Of the
young pig Is the best material avail
able for such operations. He said:
1T is even better than human skim
Records show that only about fifty per-
cent. OF the skin grated from a person
other than the patient takes. The
percentages OF takes from other ani-
mails, including the rabbit, frog, cat.
dog, chicken and guinea pig. all Of
which have been used, is only about
thirty-two per cent. Their organisms
are too frail to stand the strain. To-
experiments covering three years
have shown that seventy-five to one
hundred per cent of the pigskln
grated to human beings takes.

"Cell conditions, especially with ref

that when a pig is injured, even

'HE POSSESSED A

FACULTY
FIELDS WAS BETTER IN HANDL.
ING FIGURES THAN AN AD-
DING MACHINE

"Rube" Fields, widely known, par
ticularly in western Missouri, as a
mathematical prodigy, died recently
ON the e'county farm at Little Blue. He
suffered apoplexy and did not regain
consciousness. He was admitted TO
the farm by the county court in 1907.
When i'll health started his extraor-
binary power began to fail. "Rube's'
birthplace was in Bath county, Ken
lucky, and his family lived for many
years near Fayetteville, Johnson coun-
ty, Missouri.
If you gave Rube the distance by
rail between two cities and the di-
mensions of a car wheel he would tell
you almost as soon as the statement
left your lips how many revolutions
of the wheel would be necessary to
travel from one place to the other.
If you called any number of columns
OF figures down a page he would tell

him again the next day what time it
was, he would tell you first the correct
time and then the time by your watch.
How the time feat was performed
is as much Of a mystery as the process
of Fields mathematical calculations.
1t is probable that he did not know
himself how he did it. He either
would not or could not answer ques-
tions about it. Rapid calculators, men
of study who by close application and
short methods had become experts,
sought to probe the mysteries, but
without results.
About the only use to which his
mathematical ability ever was put was
by merchants in making invoices.
"Rube" could neither read nor
write. All his calculations we're made
lin his head"
Field led a hand-to-mouth exist
enoe If he had only used his gift as
most men would he might have been
immensely wealthy Though not re-
Iigious in the ordinary sense, he re
garded his great mathematical power
as direct gift from Cod and, for
fear of losing it, he would not use it
for mere money making, except for
his own actual necessities. He liked
to couple his own name with that of
Samson, and seemed to think their
cases parallel, but with one important
exception. Samson weakly confided
the secret of his great power to a
woman and lost it. "Rube" never
married. He said he never would un-
less the Lord commanded him to-.
Even then it is doubtful if any sane
woman would have had him for a
husband.
The boyhood Of Field was that of
an overgrown country lout with boor-
ish manners and silly mind. He did
not and would not go to school, and
he said in recent years that if he had
done so he would have become as
big fool as other people"
Field was swarthy of face, with
high cheek bones, thin, unkept beard
high, bulging forehead, small eyes
and Iarge head. d.-Kansas City Star.
