By ROBERT SPARKS WALKER.

From close observation covering q
period of more than ten years, | have
been thoroughly convinced that every
city in the country should take some
immediate steps for the protection of
the useful and harmless toads. 1t is a
matter of much Importance that these
little animals be encouraged to live
and multiply on city lots, Just the
same as they do on the farms. They
have their place in the city and fill a
great mission. They are very reliable
and efficient patrolmen of the lawn,
flower and vegetable gardens at night
time.
They also prey upon many small
insects which are a menace to the
health of the inhabitants of the city.
1t is almost inconceivable-the very
great number of insects which a single
toad will devour in one evening. As
an experiment, in less than half hour
| caught and fed thirty freflies to one
toad. Apparently he relished the last
fly swallowed as well as he did the
first. A FREELY is of good size COM
pared to some of the smaller insects
which a toad devours.
The ebb and flow of the toads in the
city. barring their own enemies and
accidents, is governed entirely by the
supply of insects which he is capable
of catching. If the supply is short,
the toads perish until the number is
reduced to a ratio in proportion to
their food supply. This is the same
result of the struggle for existence
throughout nature, including both
plant and animal life.
Now this brings me to the ultimate
object of this article. By close obser-
walton, l have noted that in the cities
there is a sufficient supply of food to
maintain many toads. In the years
1908 and 1909, on an average city lot,
by careful attention, l was able to
maintain thirteen toads. Apparently,
they received an ample supply of in
sects. Doubtless one reason for these
little fellows remaining so faithful to
our premises was the kind treatment
accorded them. The children were
even taught the art of feeding them,

CARE OF THE SKIN is VERY
IMPORTANT TO ONES HEALTH
Preventive Medicine Authority Gives
Hints on Bathing and Maintaining
Good Blood Circulation.

"The skin is very important to the
welfare of the human body, and there
fore should be kept in the best condi-
ton in order to carry out its functions
properly" says Prof. NJ. 2. Ravenel
of the department of preventive medi-
cine of the University of Missouri.
Professor Ravenel says that in the
care Of the skin cleanliness is of first
importance. For ordinary purposes
tepid water may be used in bathing,
but the last rinsing should be in cold
water. A bland soap should be used
at least once a day with a certain
amount of friction. Highly perfumed
soaps should be avoided, and medi-
Gated soaps should be used only on
the advice of physician.
In addition to bathing with water,
the air bath is very important, and
preferably should be taken upon rising
and again on going to bed. During
the air bath it is advisable to rub the
body with the open hand, which in
creases the circulation and gives a
healthy glow to the skin, enabling it
to resist cold.
Use of cosmetics should be avoided.
Most so-ralled skin foods contain
grease as their principle ingredient.
Grease tends to overload the sweat
glands and to clog the pores of the
skin. There is no such thing as skin
food applicable on the outside. The
skin is nourished only by circulation
as are other parts of the body.
Generally speaking, greasy and in
digestible foods must be avoided, and
nourishing, easily digestible foods are
to be sought. The care of the diges-
tive tract is most important. Consti
patton is especially to be avoided.
This can be done best by regulation of
the diet and not taking medicine.
To sum up, the hygiene of the skin
depends on cleanliness and r2ainte-
nance of good circulation.

OUT WHERE THE WEST BEGINS
by Arthur Chapman

Out where the handclasp's a little
stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little
longer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the sun is a little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are trife
winter,
Where the bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trifie bluer,
Out where friendships a little truer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where a fresher breeze is
blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
stream flowing,
Where there's more or reaping and
less of sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the
making,
Where fewer hearts in despair are
aching,
That's where the West begins.
Where there's more of singing and
less of signing,
Where there's more of giving and
less of buying,
And a man makes friends without
half trying,
That's where the West begins.

DAILY FUNERAL IS
TO Be AT 9 A. M.
To Snig Requiem Mass At Jack
son Church-Burial In
City Cemetery.

A requiem mass will be sung at
o'clock this morning when funera
services for Michael Daily, pioneer
locomotive engineer of Jackson, vii
be held at the Immaculate Conception
Catholic church in Jackson.
The services will be conducted by

Members of the choir at st. Vim
cents church in the Cape, also will
make the trip to Jackson to attend the
services and furnish the music.
Mr.. DAILY died shortly before noon

position as engineer on the Iron
Mountain branch leading into Jackson.
He is survived by ten children:
Rosemond, Florence, Sherman and
Charles Daily who live at home; Mrs.
Ben Messmer of the Cape; Mrs. Clara

The Value of the Toad Frog.

so almost every evening during the
summer months the toads were as
sisted in their evening expeditions in
search for food. To this kindness they
gave immediate response, and did not
abandon our small lot. Cruel treat
ment will always drive them in search
of more pleasant quarters.
Three years later, after the above
experience, | observed that our toads
were venturing underneath the street
lights below our house. At night hur-
dreds of flying insects collide with the
bright lights and fall to the ground.
! Naturally the toads will leave the
lawns and gardens to venture to such
great food markets. Thus the middle
of the street becomes a mecca for city
toads. Automobile and delivery va
CONS driving rapidly and some reck-
lessly under these lights, snuff out the
lives of thousands of toads annually
From my own experience our number
was reduced from thirteen to not more
than two. | ascribe the loss to the
death toll taken by automobiles and
other vehicles. l know that the food
supply is the same now as it WIS
when we had them in such great num-
berS, and | know that the usual
amount of kindness has not dimin-
ished. This may appear to some as a
trivial matter, but as q whole, it is Il
thought which merits serious consid-
Grafton. A cheap wire screen can be
suspended underneath street lights,
which will catch and hold the unfor-
tunate insects and thus remove the
temptation for the toad to venture to
the dangerous street. Any city can
well afford to provide such devices ut
nominal cost.
might suggest here to those who
are sufficiently interested in the wei
fare of the toad, that an electric light
arranged near the ground N the back
yard will attract thousands of insects,
and the toads will soon learn to go to
such 4 place for food. To look at it
from one point of view, it might be
truthfully said that you cannot be kind
to one particular sort of carnivOrous
or insectivorous animal without being
unkind to others, because to favor
one, You must kill the Other

COME TO JAPAN TO BUY, But
SELL u. S. GOODS INSTEAD

Toxic, June 26.-F. W. Barnes and
F. F. Foote, department heads in the
firm of Carson, Pirie & Scott, of Chi
cago, have been in Japan for the last
five weeks trying to buy goods for
their firm but being unable to buy,
they turned their attention to selling
instead, and have filed a number Of
good orders.
Both were in Europe just before
coming here, but found that the war
interfered with supplies. 1t occurred
to Mr.. Prize that Japan might be able
to sell hosiery, underwear and the like,
but nowhere could they find any large
quantities of the goods they wanted.
Most manufacturers were staggered
at the size of the orders offered. When
the buyers mentioned $4,000 dozens Of
hosiery they would get the abacus and
calculate that it would take five years
to turn out this amount. In most
cases the prices quoted were far in
excess of American manufacturers
prices, and in fact, they found that
they could afford to pay freightage
and tariff dues and sell in Japan at a
fair profit. So they have taken quite
number of orders and will make
enough to recoup their firm for the
expense of the trip.

w. Ramsey of Jackson rural route No.
2, yesterday morning miracuously es-

Mrs. Ramsey was driving to Jack
son when she endeavored to drive past
COW that was grazing at the road
side. Her horse lodged to the oppo-
site side of the road and his move

FRISCO RAILROAD
TO Be SOLD SOON
Advertisement Asks For Bids On
July &c. G. n. To Go
With Frisco.

The Frisco Railroad will be sold at
public auction in st. Louis July 10,
according to an advertisement pub
lished in the newspapers of that city.
The sale will take place at II o'clock
noon.
All of the property to be included
in the sale is listed in the advertise
ment, and in this schedule is the rail-
road owned by Louis Houck and which
the Frisco guaranteed to take over.
Since the Frisco entered into this
agreement with Mr.. Houck, the road
went into bankruptcy, and years of
litigation has resulted.
The special master, who heard all
of the legal problems connected with
the reorganization of the Frisco as
we'll as recommending that it be sold,
passed on the legality of the HOuck
claim. He held the Frisco's agree
ment to be binding, .nd the Houck in
terests are therefore listed as a part
of the legitimate claims against the
Frisco proper
When the Frisco is transferred to
its new owner the C. G.. & n. Railroad
will pass out from under Mr.. Houck' S
control. The C. G. & n. runs from
limo, through the Cape, to Perryville,
Mo-, a distance by rail of approx
mately fifty miles.
