4 CAMPFIRE GARDEN.

Last summer my chum and 1, who belong to the Campfire Girls" made a garden, and called it Arikara, which is the name of our camp. Our or ganization teaches us to live out-of- doors as much as possible and love everything that grows, and we earned several honors from our garden work.
 Mother gave us corner of her garden, a square of about twenty feet, and made a wager with us that We would not raise enough to pay for our seed. Campfire girls never lose wager, and we girls worked hard to win ours. We arranged the garden in beds and rows, planting radishes lettuce, peas, string beans, onion sets and seeds, beets, spinach, carrots and parsley. We also set out four to- mato plants. Around the entire plot we planted a border of flowers-nas- turtiums, pinks, phlox, zinnias, candy tuft and sweet tlyssum.
 We worked in our garden, weeding and hoeing, in the evenings and on Saturdays till school was out. After every rain we cultivated it, and it was so much fun to work together. For our seeds we expended seventy five cents and ten cents for a market basket, and when our vegetables were ready we arranged them in punches, and sold them to our friends. Mother was our first customer. Altogether, we sold five dollars worth of vege- tables, and had the enjoyment out of our flowers besides.-From The Peo- ple's Home Journal for March.

JIM CROWS, A FAMOUS DIS
 FILLER.
By John Tweezer.

Jim Grove, who figured in the early history of Kentucky, was fam ous distiller His name went down in history, while his liquor went down the threats of some of our greatest statesmen. He was a pioneer dis tiller. He lived before the days of blind tigers and bootleggers. The whiskey he made was free from barbed wire and concentrated lye. It was pure and clear No red liquor was ever seen before the days of Jim Grove, and no doubt we would have been drinking "white mule" until this good day, had not the art of coloring whiskey been discovered through the carelessness of woman. Like most all great discoveries, it was by acci- dent, and from this accident Jim Grove found that he could change the color of whiskey as easily as whis- key could change the color of the "bibbers" cheeks. Not only could this discovery change the color of whis- key, but it could give it age and free it of it's fusil oils. This accidental discovery came about one day by Jim Grove putting his wife to the task of drying out barrel, preparatory to make run" All receptacles for holding whiskey, as you know, must be dry. l have experienced this fact. However, this barrel was wet and had to be dried out, so Jim Crowe's wife crammed it full of dry shavings, and touched it off. Presently there was an alarm of fire. Jim responded to the call promptly. But when he ar rived upon the scene there was just enough salvage left to hold about twenty gallons of whiskey. There was only one good head left in the barrel; usually that is more than Is in some of our legslatives. Now Jim rolled the remains of the barrel down the hill. and placed it under the worm of the still, and made run" that made Jim famous, and put Kentucky on the map.
 Jim's fame as a distiller soon spread far and near, his red liquor had made a Init" At first his GUS toners were little dubious of its color, no doubt thinking it was blind for old Satan" and his imps to hide behind. But they soon lost their mind wandering and took to the red as naturally as Keeley gradu- ate.
 1 Little did Jim Grove think of the fame and fortune that was in store for him when his wife charred that whiskey barrel. It was not intention al on her part, it was purely an accl- dent. But there and then this secret of rectifying whiskey by means of charcoal had leaked out. It was through the mistake of woman, and when women make blunders, men fall down. Everything has been falling since Eve set the example. Some folks fall from grace, some by the wayside, and some from "jags."

CRYING BABIES AND THE CAUSE

The mother is usually responsible for baby's collie, and the causes are many, such as lack of exercise in the fresh air, constipation, extreme ner- vousness, worry, fright, shock, or out breaks of violent temper. Any of these will affect the mothers milk so as to cause collie in the baby. Cold hands and feet also cause collie. If the child's extremities are cold it in- terferes with good digestion, and collie results.
 Few women in these days can sue cessfully nurse their babies past the eighth or tenth month Later than this children rarely thrive on breast milk. To make weaning easy l would advise. within the first week or two. to give one bottle feeding in the twenty-four hours. During the second month a second bottle feeding, and about the fifth or sixth, third. By adopting this method the baby's stomach. almost from birth, IS trained to digest two kinds of milk the cows milk as easily as breast milk. This makes weaning an easy task and does not affect the baby un- pleasantly as does the sudden change from breast milk to cows milk or other variety of infant food. Take the gradual method with a baby Marianna Wheeler, in The Peoples Home Journal for March.

Two Stories Told.

According to the story the state
affairs board has, McCutcheon went
to Hogan to speak about a young
negro teacher for Hogan's depart
ment, history. Hogan became peeved
at what he thought was an encroach-
ment on his own preserves, and open
ed up with a revolver. Another story
is that the shots were fired through
a window, as McCutcheon sat in his
study.
The friction that has been present
in the Langston school since McCut-
cheon succeeded Page last summer
has well-nigh disrupted the school, it
is said. Hogan, however is said to
be unfriendly to Page, although he
was a follower of the former school
head before his resignation.
Page, it is reported, has continued
in Langston, his daughter running a
rooming house, and drawing students

Old English Lotteries.

On October IS, 1926, the last state
lottery" was drawn in England. From
the time of Queen Elizabeth lotteries
had been common in this country, and
at the close of the eighteenth century
they had become established by sue
cessive acts of parliament and were
considered by chancellors of the ex-
chequer as perfectly Legitimate means
of increasing the revenue. Indeed, at
the time they were abolished lotteries
were contributing to the state a sum
amounting to 100000 per annum.
But it was felt that the government
should no longer participate in an un-
dertaking which had such demoraliz-
ing effect on the people, for this legal
lied gambling impoverished many and
diverted attention from the less eXcit-
ing pursuit of making an honest liv-
ing.-London Chronicle.

formation of the solar system. To
Herschel it seemed that he was able

condensed down into stars, as one can
study the growth of the trees in the
forest, but, to quote the Encyclopaedia

Catarrhal Deafness canno. Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result. Unless the inflam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure acts through the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
