Farmers Wanted.

J,nclc Sam is looking for several
hundred practical farmers to take
up homes on the irrigation projects

The lxnd is free, but the law requires
settlers to pay their share of build
ing the irrigation system, and for
this reason nuderatc capital Is nee
-cssary. A practical farmer with from
St, 500 SIS, e00stould have no trouble
in acquiring one of these farms and
putting i. in successful cultivation.
Under the new Extension Act the
settlers are allowed twenty years in
which TO pay for their water right,
and no intcrcs, is required on defer
red payments. Details concerning
opportunities and terms will be fur

The f.trn,S are located IN ldaho,

opportunities for citizens to establish

.iaccnt farms are under cultivation,
railroads have been built. schools
aud churches established, telephone
and rural free delivery are available,
and most of the lurdships OF pioneer
ing already have been overcome.
Alfalfa is the big crop, although
grain, and sugar beets 'trc profitable

pays well. Livestock and dairyipg

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Hot water has more medical virtues
than many believe or know. Because
it is so easily procured, thousands
think it valueless. The uses of hot
water, however are many.
For example, there is nothing that
so promptly cuts short congestion of
the lungs, sore throat, or rheumatism
as hot water when applied promptly
and thoroughly.
Headache almost always yields to
the simultaneous application of hot
water to the feet and back of the neck.
A towel folded several times and
dipped in hot water, and quickly
wrung out and applied over the pain
full part in toothache or neuralgia will
generally afford prompt relief.
A strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthways and dipped in hot water
and wrung out and then applied
around the neck of child that has
the Group will sometimes bring relief
in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bedtime is helpful in the case of
constipation, while it has most soth
ing effect upon the stomach and bow
els.
A goblet of hot water taken just
after rising, before breakfast, has cur
ed thousands of Indigestion, and no
simple remedy is more widely rec
commended by physicians to dyspeptics.
Very hot water will stop dangerous
bleeding.

DR.. Herbert M. Rich, children's
physician at Harper hospital, told the
Wayne County Medical society in a
recent session at Detroit how this was
done and showed that many of fash
ions fair devotees were having it done
DR.. c. P. McCord, of the Parke. Davis

Use Sleeps Glands.
1t is done through the throid, or
the pituritarian gland, different pa
tients requiring sometimes the use of
the thyroid, sometimes the use of the
pitultarin. Those glands control not
only heighth, but thickness and cir
cumference. If anything goes wrong
with them dwarfs or giants, living
skeletons or superlatively fat people
may develope. But these glands can
be regulated, stimulated or stared,
almost at will, by the use of the cor
responding glands of sheep.

False Economy

There is a marked tendency among
women to believe they are exercising
proper economy by getting along with
poor or without proper tools with
which to do their work.
The sooner a woman learns that
makeshifts which only wear out her
strength are not economies, the better
for her and her family. Many house
wives worry on from year to year
with sadly inefficient housekeeping
tools, and reduce themselves to mere
wrecks after few years. Their fam
lilies gain nothing by it, but lose much.
Labor-saving appliances are cheap in
the end, and a woman should insist
upon having them, so that she may
preserve her temper and health for
her family's sake as well as her own.
The farmers wife who did large
family ironing for years with two
irons is not a model of economy, but
simpleton. 1t is pitiful, almost
heartbreaking, to think of such a
waste of time and strength on the part
of human being. Some women will
spend a whole day at the washtub in
stead of buying wringer that would
save their wrists and backs, and be
less injurious to the clothes than hand
wringing. After all, a woman is not
drudge, and no housewife whose
kitchen is properly supplied with good
tools will find the housework beyond
her strength. On the contrary, it be-
comes a pleasure, and the properly
constituted woman will take keen
pride in keeping her home, and par
ticularly her kitchen, in spick and span
order. Beginners in housekeeping
should remember to begin well. If
they begin with makeshifts, they will
probably continue with them to the
bitter end!
Household utensils were never so
cheap and really efficient as now, and
with care will last nearly lifetime,
so there can be no excuse for muddling
along with clumsy or poor tools. A
good workman, however poor, will
have good tools. He stints himself in
someway to buy them; and so, too
would women if they took proper
pride in their calling.

New Years Eve and the Jour de
IAN are the great days in Paris. Pres.
ents, les etrennes, are exchanged on
that day, of course. On the first OF
January, all the young men call on
their friends, bringing each family a
sac, or box, of delicious marrons
glaces.
Many persons do not call until the
last minute, and one day a poor
young man came rushing in and said !:
What Oh earth shall l do? I've just
discovered that l have two hundred
calls to pay!" So he called for an au-
tomobile, and. with his cards ready,
sped from one part of the city to an
other, leaving them with every Sec
ond concierge.
On this day the concierges also ex-
pect a present. The less one says
about these potentates the better, for
one feels as some one said of Richie
lieu: These people do too much
good to be spoken badly Of. and too
much evil to be spoken well Of"
Suffice 1t to say that, If their pres.
ents are not up to the mark, they will
be disagreeable for the whole of the
coming year. They will tell people
you are out when you are in. and that
you can receive, them when you are
tired. They will keep your letters for
days, and annoy in the thousand and
one ways they know about. So New
Years Day is no light matter.
Butchers. bakers, and grocers come
with their presents. too. The baker
sends you nice cake. and wishes
you Happy New Year" Instructive
ly you put your hand in your pocket
as you wish him the same. The groc-
er gives you an extra orange, and the
milkman offers you an apple, all with
the best greetings.
Long before New Years the letter
carrier gets his dues. Sometimes he
calls more than a month ahead. He
brings the eternal "Calendrier des
Postes ct Telegraphes" with the days
of the week and the month, and the
corresponding saints. Perhaps won.
an on bicycle Is pictured on 1t, as
are also the rates of postage. The
postman Is an important person. He
delights In bringing you registered
letters because then he knows he will
get Tip" even II you are hard up
and have Just received the picture of
your second aunt instead of the ex-
pected check.
The stores In Paris have q mania
for advertising useful presents. Can
anything be more horrid? Presents
should be things one would not get
under ordinary circumstances. Isn't
it wretched to receive pair OF rub
bers or an everyday umbrella on such
occasions? But one French mother
found something still more useful for
her little boy. 1t was a big bottle Of
cod. liver oil. For every spoonful he
took she gave him two sous to put in
his bank. At the end of the year,
when the bottle was empty she broke
the bank, and, with the money, bought
him a new bottle of cod liver oil. And
that was the only gift he received
from one year to another.-C. D. c.,

Laughter as a Tonic.


The act of laughing developes a
large number of muscles, including
those of the face, neck, chest and alb
domen. But much more than this
laughter accomplishes. 1t has high
ly beneficial influence on the heart and
lungs.
In what may be called aft" of
laughter the lungs may be almost
completely emptied of their contained
air. Fresh air is then drawn in to
the full extent of their capacity, in
flating those little air cells which con-
tanned previously only stagnant air or
bacilli-for in the shallow breathing
that we ordinarily practice, compar-
atively large tracts of air cells are but
little used. While this process is
going on the general circulation is
accelerated, impure and fresh air hur-
ried in, and with the forcible ascent
and descent of the diaphragm during
inspiration and expiration, the liver
and other abdominal organs undergo
a kind of kneading not unlike that
undergone during massage, which is
of great benefit in rousing from that
torpor to which they are liable. If
"you can let yourself co." and laugh
with will, you can even bring al
most all the principal muscles of the
body into play. Remember, "a good
laugh is good thing"

I at is the same stuff the anti-fat
people use," explained DR.. Rich, "but
to get results without danger each
case must be watched and treated
individually. To take stock doses of
the stuff is very likely to bring about
a serious illness.
"But it is a fact that many women
of fashion are using this means of
becoming fat or thin as the mode re-
quires. When carefully administered
the use brings about no i'll effects. 1t
has not yet reached the point where
it can be localized; where certain
portions of the anatomy can be made
fat or thin without affecting the rest.
That is done by massage or other
methods.
Experiments Help Children
"The primary purpose of the eX-
periments with the height and weight
controlling glands was to help infants
who are stunted. Ricketts, causes
dwarfery very often, but if the pit
uitary gland is treated and fed or cor
rected before actual dwarfery sets in
the child may be made normal. Rick
cts is caused by illnourishment. 1
have classified different varieties of
dwarfery into those that can be help
ed and those that cannot"
DR.. Rich showed pictures of the
varieties of dwarfery and showed one
girl of II years whose weight had
been increased six pounds in 8 months
by treatment. of the glands.
