SUFFERING BABY
RELIEVED AT ONCE

Mr.. H. ]. Lamar, Macon, Ca, writes:
1--WE used Hancock Sulphur Compound,
on our one-year-old baby who was
suffering intensely from prickly heat
and half dozen applications, in the
course OF 2 days, entirely relieved her.
When we first applied it, she was
broken out almost over her entire
body, causing fretfulness and loss Of
sleep, but she has not suffered since.
You should recommend the Sulphur
Compound strongly to mothers as
many children suffer SO much from
heat. We also used a tablespoonful
in her bath for 8 days and it proved
very soothing"

and the matingS are not changed from
year to year unless they prove unsat-
isfactory. When mated, they are al
lowed to run together in hocks. Tou-
louise and Emden geese will breed
when about two years old. The females
are usually kept until they are from
twelve to fourteen years old, or as
long as they lay well. Sex is difficult
to distinguish, especially in young
geese. The gander is usually some
what larger and coarser than the goose
and has a leaner, longer neck, and a
larger head. The sex is sometimes de-
termined by a critical examination or
by the action Of the geese at mating
time.
Large boxes, barrels, or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
are allowed to make nests on the floor
of the house. The eggs should be col
lected daily and kept in a cool place.
The first eggs are usually set under
hens, while the last ones which the
goose lays may be Matched either un-
der hens or under the goose If she
'.goes broody." If the eggs are not
removed from the nest where the
goose is laying, she will usually stop
laying sooner than if they are taken
away. The period Of incubation of
goose eggs varies from % to 80 dafs.
Moisture may be added after the first
week by sprinkling the eggs or the
nests with warm water. Goose eggs
hatch slowly, especially under hens.
and the goslings are usually removed
as. soon as hatched and kept in a warm
place until the Matching is completed.

scuIptor,s Prophecy.

Suddenly, in the midst OF his work,
Arnold ROnnebeck. who was designing
the decorations for municipal bridges
in Berlin, was overwhelmed by a
strange and unaccountable feeling of
sadness. 1t was not like mood, but
rather like a deep shadow cast over
him and his work. He was under con-
tract to do the work, but he could not
keep at 1t. Finally he yielded to what
was for him a mysterious impulse, and
let his feelings have their way with
him. No one was more astonished
than he VII, n he had finished, roughly
but with simple power, figure of the
crucified Christ and the mourning
women.
He could not explain it. He wrote
to friend: 81 felt I had to do it. l
could find no other symbol to express
my sense of tragedy. But as soon as
it was done 1 felt relief, and / am
working again"
Did the war fling the shadow of the
cross over the sensitive soul of the
artist, and was his mood born of the
Inner knowledge that there was to be
another crucifixion. and that again
throughout the world there would be

cross upon which humanity was bleed

IREkTMENT OF IRE WOUNDS
Use Of White Lead, Zinc, yellow ochre
and Other Materials Said 70
Be Detrimental.

Recent experiments conducted by the
New York station tend to contradict
the generally accepted opinion Of fruit
growers regarding the advisability of
treating wounds caused by the removal
OF branches from trees.
From the results of this work 1t IS
concluded that the use Of white lead,
white zinc. yellow ochre, coal tar, and
shelIac for wounds under five inches
in diameter is not only useless but u.s.
ually detrimental to the tree. This is
particularly true of peaches and per-
haps of other stone fruits.
The substances mentioned retarded
the healing of the wounds; white lead
proved the best, but 1t is not thought
worth while to use even white lead
ON wounds two OF. three inches or less
in diameter, though it may be adyis-
able to use it on wounds where very
large branches have been removed.
On the larger wounds, where much
surface~is exposed, the white lead
helps to keep out moisture and organ
isms which cause decay. The smaller
wounds heal so quickly that the evil
effects of covering may more than Off
set the benefits derived from its use.

Great Names DE out.

IT is curious how rarely our military
and naval supermen leave direct pos
telity in the male line. In the three
cases of Lord Roberts, Lord Wolseley
and Lord Kitchener the succession has
passed out of the usual direct male
line. Lord Nelson was succeeded by
his brother. for whom in fact the earl
dom was created in recognition of the
hero's last and greatest exploit. Lord
Howe, victor of the GLORIOUS First of
june" left no son, and the barony
of Howe descended to his daughter.
The title conferred on Lord Strath-
nairn is extinct, and there is no long
er Lord Clyde. Lord Anson, the
great sailor who girdled the world, left
no children, and the title was recre-
ated for his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SUCCESS WITH GEESE
Toulouse and Emden Are the
Most Popular Breeds.
Low, Rough Pasture Land, Containing
Natural Water Supply Will Prove
Satisfactory Demand and
Prices Are Good.

The Toulouse and Emden are the
most popular breeds of geese in this
country. The Toulouse is the largest
breed, the adult gander and goose
weighing 20 and 20 pounds, respective
iy, while the standard weights Of the
Emden are 20 and Is pounds.
Geese can be raised in small num-
bers successfully and at profit on
many farms where there is low, rough
pasture land containing natural sup
ply. of water. The market for geese is
not SO general as for chickens, but the
demand and prices are especially good
in sections where goose fattening is
conducted.
Geese need only house during cold
or stormy weather, when an open shed
should be provided. One gander is
mated with from one to three geese,

Mr.. Norman Wilkinson tells this
story in his book, .'The Dardanelles."
T had the story from naval officer
whose duties lay on shore. He was
outside his dugout one afternoon

passed. Their gait and the fact that
both wore navy fiannels told him at
once that they were bluejackets. Anx

WHEN SUN WAS W0RSHIPED
5aaIbec, Now IN Ruins, Was the Cen
ter of Religion That Once Had
Many Adherents.

BaaIbec is the city of the sun. Here
tho sun god was wOrshiped thousands
of years age, here the ruins of his
great temple still stand, monstrous
and majestic, wonder and a mystery
to another age and another race. Here,
too, the sun today still seems to smile
with particular warmth and fervor, as
though regarding his faithful capital
now that his place in the hierarchy of
deities is gone.
In the ruins of Baalbec you can
trace the rise and fall Of almost every
creed that the near East, rich in
creeds, has known. The very stones
still lie about that were raised by the
worshipers of Baal, whom the Isrnel-
ties overthrow. Then came the Greeks
and the Romans, with temples to Apol-
10 and Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus.
The warlike Arabs left their mark in
a circle of fortifications, temples to
religion Of the sword. Today the Turk
holds dominion, and his modern mos
ques raise their frail daIned heads,
like the transient structures of chill
dren, beside the mighty monuments OF
the past.
In plain terms of the guidebooks,
Baalbec is little Turkish village Of
5000 people situated near some of the
most remarkable ruins on earth. So
there are two Baalbecs-the city of
yesterday and the city of today. Mod
crn Baalbec has its mosques and its
cruits to the sultan's armies, and
makes picnics to the temple of Bac-
chus, where it's young men and maidens
hold hands in the twilight. Ancient
Baaibec is confused colossus, a heap
of mighty blocks of cunningly carved
stone, earthquake tossed and time eat
en-, piled haphaZard and buried In
sand, with here and there some frieze,
some wall, some shrine or altar still
raising it's head through the tide of
destruction to hold aloft the symbol of
the sun or the Roman eagle.
The old stones have taken on a PEE
culiarIy rich and golden color with the
years. Fragments that archeologists
unearth from underground are pale
and colorless. but the sunlight of CEN
turies has touched what it could reach
with its-own sunset hues. Few sights
are so beautiful as Baalbec ON clear
spring evening. The five great coll
ulnns of the sun rear their slender
height heavenward like the trunks of
giant palms. The tumbled temple
stones glow golden in the level rays,
while below stretches the tender green
of young grain. the delicate bloom OF
wide orchards. The rock of the coll
umns crumbles with the passing of
ages, but the bloom of growing life
that blights ut a frosty breath returns
ever fresh and new, spring after
spring, eternally.

SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY WORM
Look Out When Hog Apparently suf.
fers Paralysis of HinG Parts and
Inability to Rise.

Symptoms of kidney worms in hogs
are the imperfect use of the hind legs,
inclination to lie down, seeming par
alysis Of the hind parts and inability
to rise on the hind feet. According
to some authorities the kidney worm
is not common among hogs though oc-
casionally one or two hogs in herd
may suffer from it's presence. 1t is not
found in the substance of the kidney
but in the hollow portion, in which
the secretion of urine takes place.
What is said to be certain cure is TO
pour tablespoonful of turpentine
across the loins or small of the back,
daily for several days. Another rem
edy is to mix and feed In the nights
meal for three days one teaspoonful Of
sulphate of iron {copperas) and one
teaspoonful of sulphur. Sometimes
longer treatment is necessary. Corn.
soaked in lye made from wood ashes
has been used with success at the
first appearance of the complaint.

Some 1900 acres Of the Salt River
