FACE FULL OF PIMPLES

Of pimples and blackheads, and

The pimples would tester and there

The trouble lasted me three long
years without anything doing me any
good until friend told me about Cuti-

decided to try them. After the first
application l could see some improve

NOT MUCH OF A PROBLEM
Observing Boy Had Sure Way Of Do
termining the Breed of Chicken
Served for Dinner.

At a recent dinner in a suburban
district, where all the guests were
amateur chicken raisers, after a dis
cussiou of the egg problem the con-
versation turned to the best breed Of
hens. After the good points of Orp-
ingtons, Minorcas, Leghorns and 9th
ers had all been brought forth the
host said:
Well, the ultimate end OF every
chicken is the pot, and you can't tell
the difference when 1t is on the table.
Let's see how many can tell what
kind Of a hen We have just eaten"
All agreed it was a very good kind.
but there were many guesses as to the
breed. The only child at the table,
twelye-yearold boy, was the one who
guessed correctly.
The host beamed on him and said:

of insect life thrive in the crevices and

great numbers under these wood

or six stalks bound firmly about the
young trees with Irvine will consti-.

country. 1t seems a sensible way to
build house. From the foundation
to the comb of the roof it is symme-
trioal and it is sensible. 1t is charac-
teristic of good thrifty American
ideas. 1t is a plan that suggests com
fort and STABILITY, and it probably pro-
vides more of both than most plans.
The size of this house is twenty-six
feet in width by twenty eight feet six
inches in length; rather small some
builders would say for six rooms, but
after looking the plan over most peo-
pie will agree that the rooms are large
enough and that they are airy, well
lighted, easily heated and properly
connected with each other. When you
have said this you have encompassed
the most essential features of a good
residence.
A great many houses Of this design
are being built of cement Sometimes
a wooden frame is erected in the usual
way and an outside coating of cement
used instead of wood siding. The ce-
ment coating is plastered into ex-
banded metal lath, or common wooden
lath furreG out with inch strips placed
foot apart to give the cement a solid
backing with plenty of clineh room.

The old saying mo use to lock the
stable door after the horse has been
stolen" is quite applicable in the mat
ter of protecting young and no-longer-
young fruit trees against rodents.
Don't wait until some of your trees
are ruined before you adopt proven
tive measures.
The soil or cinder mound as a pro-
lection against tree injury by rodents,
Is very effective. Mice rarely injure
trees except where grass, strawy
manure, boards or trash of some kind
about the base of the tree provide a
hiding place; they will not come out
in the open, but perform their depre-
datiOns under cover. In mOunding
trees, first, clear away the grass or
mulch from the base of the tree for a
foot or more in all directions. Second,
with a post tamper," thoroughly
firm the surface of the soil about the
base of the tree. Third, with few
shovelfuls of fresh soil or cinders form
a small mound (12 or Il inches in
diameter at the base and from four to
six inches high about the stem of the
tree, firming the soil well. The tops
of these small mounds are usually kept
quite bare by the winds and the mice
will not venture out on these exposures
to feed on the bark of the tree These
mounds may be left all the year. but
should be repaired and tamped hard

The wire screen is an ideal and com
plete all-round protector. True, it is
more expensive than some others,
but it is lasting and more effective
against all kinds of rodents which
prey upon young trees. Being light
and open, it presents the least obstruc-
ton to strong winds; the air and sun
light are freely admitted; no dark
places of concealment, such as invite
woody aphis and other forms of insect
life. 1t is made of galvanized wire
cloth of one-quarter-inCh mesh flour
22-gaUge wires to the inch) which may
be purchased from any large supply
house in rolls of 100 lineal feet and in
any width from "a 10 SO inches. In ad-
justing to the tree allow the edges to
lap about one inch.
Small meshed poultry netting pro.
tectors are made OF ordinary weight
mesh. This is effective against rab-
bits, but will not keep the mice out.
In combination with a mound of soil
about the base Of the tree, mice will
rarely prove troublesome.
1t often happens that the farmer
has a quantity of old poultry netting
of standard mesh which he could use.
Rabbits and woodchucks will not be
able to seriously injure trees protected
with this and if a mound is made at
the tree base, mice may also be baf-
fed.
Spiral protectors of heavy wire,
while effective against rabbits, are of
no avail against mice except as the
trees are mounded.

OF WoOQCnuckS,
while the wire cloth completely battles
the mice even in badly infested
orchards.
When trees have attained the age of
six or seven years they are usually be-
yond the period of injury by rabbits.
We then have to protect only against
mice. The short, galvanized wire cloth
cylinder, we'll imbedded in the soil
about the tree base, is quite sufficient
even in badly infected orchards.
In combination with soil or cinder

rarily effective against rabbits, but
these protectors must be removed in
summer because OF the fact that they
afford excellent hiding places for many
insect pests. A simple paper (even
newspaper wrapper will serve well
for a single winter.
A high grade OF building or Sheath
ing" paper is, of course, preferable to
newspapers for tree protection. A
combination Of building paper and
wire cloth is trustworthy protector
under all conditions. The paper may
be removed and the screen retained
during the growing season. The wire
discourages the mice and the paper in
winter is accepted by rabbits as an
invitation to look elsewhere for shell
ter and forage.

His Turn for the Feather.

Two motorists having almost ruined
their tempers-and their tires-in d
vain attempt to find a hotel with a
vacant bed, were at last forced to
make the best OF a small inn.
Even then they had to share a bed,
which was-and Oh this the landlord
laid great stress-a feather bed.
They turned in, and one of the pair
was soon fast asleep; the other was
not. He could not manage to dodge
the bumps and heard hour after hour
strike on the church clock until a.
m. when he also struck.
He did this by violently shaking his
snoring friend

basis of the ration.
7. There is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder Good
silage properly fed is all consumed.
s. Silage is very palatable.
8. Silage, like other succulent feeds,
has a beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form in which a succulent feed can be
provided for winter use.
II. Silage can be used for supple
menting pastures more economically
than can soiling crops, because it re-
quires less labor and silage is more
palatable.
IL. Converting the corn crop into
silage clears the land and leaves 1t

The study of stairways and the
proper placing of them in dwelling
houses is responsible for more suicides
among architects than any other fea-
ture Of the business.
Ever since two story houses were
nrst built stairs have occupied promi-
nent positions, usually in front in full
view of the street door where floor
space is more valuable than in any
other part of the house The front
stair not only takes up valuable space
on both floors but 1t often spoils the
living room or parlor down stairs and
curtails two of the best bedrooms up
stairs.
Now, the stairway in this plan
solves the problem in a new way. It
not only fills a new felt want. but it
fills the neighbors with envy and the
contractor with malice. because the
workmanship must be so exact to
please the owner that he can never
get out Of it with profit.
However. this stairway seems to
overcome many difficulties 1t occu.
pies the least valuable corner in the
house. which is right because nobody
stays in the stairway any longer than
he can help. You sit in dining room
long enough to enjoy good meal. you
lounge in the living room until neces-
city drives you to work or sleepiness
drives you to bed, and you stay in a
nice front bedroom all night and mart
