Pin,ples Disappear

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to clear away all pimples, blotches and
other skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, PIN
pies, rashes, black heads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $l00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

Echoes of CALI Curci Concert.

Galll-Curci came, she sang, and she
captivated Omaha. (See critique Of
Henrietta NJ. Rees, musical editor OF
The Bee. A mere society editors
supply of superiatives is inadequate.)
Society, attending in full force, sat
under her spell from the first flute
like Caro- MIC benz" Numbered its
applause for the brilliant Bell song
from Lakme and called for curtain
after curtain at the close of the final
number, the mad scene from Lucia.
For many years l treasured the
memory Of The Last Rose of Sum-
mer,' as sung by Nordica. CALI
Curci's surpassed even that" spoke
critical music lover. Her wonder
full voice, her winning personality and
her charming old-world appearance
are indeed the chief topic Of CONVEX
sation today.
Madame Galli-Curci appeared in a
rose-colored gown with rose-colored
draperies, which enhanced the effect
of her dark, aquiline features. She
wore but few jewels, an emerald
necklace and diamond ear pendants.
The gracious manner in which she
bowed her way off the stage with an
extra smile for those who sat on the
stage, and playfully waved her hand
kerchief at the audience when the ap-
plause was especially insistent, are
all characteristic of her own person
atty
When Berenguer, the futist, at
tempted TO draw the hesitant pianist,
Homer Samuels. to respond to cur
tain call, Madame Cali Curci made
as if to pull off her brocaded silver
slipper with which to chastise the
backward young musician. To Mrs.
c. 7. Samuels, the musicians mother,
who came from Minneapolis for the
concert to be the guest of an Omaha
friend, Mrs. Louis Kuyl, formerly
Helen Sadilek, Madame Galli-Curci
started to say in her broken English
some words of praise, but was halted
for want of words to express herself.
"Say it in German" begged the
mother, whereupon the gracious
singer complied. 81 compliment you
Tor your SplenQlu SOH anu tlC Hllc a.
companist he is to me-" said she.
Galli-Curci loves to sing. 81 could
sing two, three, four hours" she said.
But oh, these trips, l cannot stand
them," speaking of the tedious travel
ing on her tours. She is only 81,
quite young to have reached the top
rung of the ladder of fame.
After her husband had thrown her
wrap about her shoulders, a wonder
full American Beauty colored wrap,
embroidered with a huge butterfly of
colored stones, the like of which has
not been worn in Omaha before, she
made some dubious little remark
about her insufficient head-covering,
which was only a chiffon scarf wound
madonnalike about her head. With
a laughing gesture, her husband set
his own silk hat on her dark hair,
both of them enioying this playful
interlude immensely.
Her husband, who is a portrait
painter of note. distinctly looks the

as she and wears a beard which sets

GETTING AHEAD OF
THE BOIL WEEWL
Cotton Must Have An Early Start ana
Rapid Growth-How This May
Be Obtained.

The main points in growing cotton
in Louisiana since the advent OF the
boil weevil are quick, early growth
and rapid maturity. These adVan'
{ages can best be obtained by llb'
eral use of quickly available fertilla'
er on moderately fertile piece OK
land. The land should be perfectly
drained and the soil not too poor nor
too rich. Poor soil is, of course, not
good for any crop; and when cotton
is grown on very rich soil 1t pro-
duces so much stalk and foliage that
in case of wet weather great INJURY
is likely to be the result
Preparation of Land.
Cotton never grows off rapidly on
very loose soil. For that reason
the land should be prepared for TWO
weeks to month before planting 30
that it will become settled. The fer'
t,lIzer should be put on top OF the
bed after the land is prepared. Plow'
ing should never be done when tne
land is too wet; it Is better to wait
until it has time to dry even though
this may delay planting for a few
days. II preparation is unavoldaply
DELAYED until almost planting time' a
center furrow should not be run be-
fore bedding, as the soil would not
have time to become settled before
the cotton comes up.
Tho Use Of Fertilizers.
The fertilizers used should be OF
the kind that are quickly available
and that tend to produce early ma
turity 1t should be applied and we'll
covered several weeks before plant
ing, when this is possible. Without
knowledge Of the particular spots OF
land that will be planted to cotton,
we would suggest as fertilizer for
the average soils and the cut-over pine
lands or the hills of North louisa.
ana, 200 pounds Of acid phosphate
and 100 pounds Of tankage per acre.
Cotton seed meal may be used in place
Of tankage, but its action is not as
quick as that Of tankage or blood. II
homemade fertilizers are used, they
should be put down in the furrow be-
fore bedding and mixed with the soil
by running furror through.
The Time To Plant.
Cotton should be planted only when
the land is in good condition and
when the weather is such that 1t will
come up promptly. Any time from
April 1 to 20 is a good date to plant
cotton In Louisiana. Onehalf bushel
Of seed is ample for an acre If the
land is in good condition and good
planter Is used. Unless conditions
are good plant a bushel to the acre.
Cotton planted the first of April
should be covered very shallow. Later
in the month it should have an inch
or more Of dirt on it.

MATCHING CHICKS BY
NATURAL INCUBATION
Suggestions That Will Help In Get
ting Good Results.

Suggestions mat VIII Help IN Get'
ting Good Results.
The three essentials to success with
natural incubation are good eggs, good
hens and good care. Good eggs are
those of uniform color. size and shape,
free from wrinkles or weak spots in
the shell, not more than ten days or
two weeks old, that have been turned
frequently, and that were produced BY
healthy stock selected for vigor and
good breeding characteristics. Good
hens are healthy hens of medium size,
free from lice, and with the brooding
tendency we'll developed. Yearling
and two-year-old hens are more de-
pendable than pullets. Good care
means constant attention to details.
Good eggs and good hens are neces-
snry, but without good care even
these will rarely produce good results.
A roomy nest, at least fourteen to
sixteen inches square, should be pro-
vided. It should be so arranged that
the hen can enter the nest without
having to jump down on the eggs. Put
two or three shovels full of moist soil
into the bottom Of the nest, following
1t slightly at the center and filling
the corners. Place an inch or two
of fine straw or other soft nesting MA
terial directly on this soil, shaping
the nest with the hands.
The hen should be carefully treated
to free her from lice. This can be
done by applying a good louise powder
thoroughly just before placing her on
the nest. The application should be
repeated on the sixth, twelfth and
seventeenth days Of the incubation
period. She should not be given more
eggs than she can properly cover.
The hen should have good feed and
water daily. See that she leaves the
nest daily, removing her If necessary.
Feed only whole grains, chiefly corn,
and provide fresh water. Plenty Of
grit and little charcoal should be
provided. A good busting place, to
which the hen has daily access, Ia a
great help. II an egg becomes brok.
en- in the nest, wash the soiled eggs
carefully and provide clean nest ma
terial.
The eggs should be tested on tho
seventh day and on the fourteenth
day, and all eggs which are infertile
or contain dead germs removed.
The hen should not be allowed to
leave the nest from the time the eggs
start to pip until the hatch is com.
pleted and the young chicks are thor.
oughly dried off.
