Conserving Tn Cans.

AM over the world many uses are found for used f1ve-gallon tin cans. In the Orient, Africa, Latin-America, the West and East Indies, the natives pur- chase them for innumerable purposes. There are men engaged solely in buy ing and selling these containers. The tinsmith coverts the containers into all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cook stoves, pots, baking pans, sprink- iers, small pumps, plates, measures, drinking cups, rat-traps and buckets With one face removed and glass sub- stituted therefor the can becomes dis. play box for grocery stores, or a rice container. Cut diagonally in two 1t serves as a dust pan. In Latin-Amer. lcan cities 1t is used by peons to cut grass in parks, being formed into sort of knife. Used entire 1t is good for shipping caMphor, lime, aIcohol and molasses It makes an excellent dower-pot.

Unusual Request.

A startling request was made to two Cardiff ladieerecently. They were walking along as8oad when a man. be- hind them asked "Wduld you mind carrying my leg for me?' They quick. ened their pace until one of them ven- tured to turn round and saw how mat ters stood. The stranger was one- legged man, carrying in one hand a brand-new artificial leg, which was in imminent danger of dropping to the ground, for the man had to look after q pair of crutches in addition to the limb. But his request for aid was eagerly complied with, and it was not long before he was safely deposited with his precious freight in q corner seat of a corporation tramcar Lon. don Mail.

LITTLE ROCK IS
 STRUGGLING WITH
 THE PRICE OF MILK

Little Rock, Nov. 10.-E. J. Bod man, chairman of the Arkansas Prof itable Farming bureau, appealed to on account of the high prices of milk in this city, and in answer to protests from dairy men in the HaEen district, who complained that they were being forced out of business, said today that the small dealer would be better off out of business than in 1t.
 "If the !dairymen expect to con duct their business upon the basis of the past" said MT. Bodman, they ought to go out of business. There is no place in any line of human compe- tition where the slow one succeeds, and the dairyman who goes on in the old slip-shod way is stacker of the worst sort.
 Tt is impossible for any man to make money on COWS averaging one gallon of milk day. It is impossi- ble for a man to succeed in the bus mess who does not make it as much of business as merchandising, bank ing or any other mercantile pursuit. Modern methods must be adopted, when that is done, dairying will be- come one of the most remunerative occupations in this section.
 ''The small producer who milks a dozen or less unproductive cows a day delivers his milk, works from in the morning until late at night, and clears a few dollars day, ought to get> out, because the same efforts produced in other directions will yield SO much better financial re- turns"
 On the other hand w. H. Hall, chairman of the board of control of the state charitable institutions. says that the state produces milk at 22.22 cents per gallon and that, too. without the aid of pasturage. Citi- zens are decidedly wrought up over prices charged and investigations are going on daily.

Woodcocks in London,

Woodcocks, which during the past few days have been flushed within 300 yards of the Marble arch" are by no meaus such rare visitants to Lon don as some ornithologists seem to in,agin,, says the London Chronicle. They have from time to time been no- ticed in almost every park or "open space" that contains sheltering shrubs. md occasionally during very hard win ters or their periods of migration they have found temporary refuge even in the little derelict churchyards of the city. At the beginning of the last century the boys of Westminster school used to get good woodcock shooting among the wil,is of Chelsea and Bsttersea. Most of those young spostsulcn took preliminary lessons from learned professor who lived near Deans yard and styled himself Instructor of young gentlemen in the new art Of shooting flying"

M. E. CONGREGATION GIVES TO Y. M. c. A.
 BUILDING FUND

Little Rock, Nov. 10.-Sometimes there are traditions of suchi things, but they occur rarely in real life Ev- cry normal human being some time in life makes some great sacrifice for others, and often supreme sacrifices for home, for country, or for princi- pie that sets him apart as a hero. Sometimes a monetary sacrifice seems hardest, for money properly used; representes Our comfort and well-being.
 A remarkable instance of financial sacrifice came to light last week that should be an inspiration to many oth- CTS in these days of persistent giving. The war work council of the Y. M. c. A. is asking Arkansas to give $20O,- 900 next week for it's work among the soldiers in camp and trench at home and overseas. One of the district secretaries, the Rev. H. c. Hoy, pas tor of the M. B. church, South, at Hol- ly Grove, attended Y. M. c. A. con ference at Little Rock, and became en- unused over the prospect for actual service. Returning home, he called a meeting of the board of stewards, and proposed that they turn over to the association the $6,000 in cash the congregation had accumulated for the building of new church.
 "Brethren," said he, 'the need is urgent. We have worshipped accept ably in the old church for long time, and I think we can get along with our clothes for a while longer, when there are so many brave men fight ing for us in Europe who need this money much more than we do."
 And the board unanimously agreed with him,

"See Them Crinkle Up and Vanish, Leave Skin Gl0rOusly Clean" Says the Screen Fav0rite,
 Valeska Surratt.
(By vALESKA SURRATT.)

I want to tell you new way 0f getting rid of superfluous hairs. With your fingers or a cloth you can rub off with one stroke every superfluous hair as easily as you can wipe off little spot of dirt. You should first moisten the hairs with sulfo solution for a few moments, then every hair, heavy and light, and no matter where, will come loose, and ease right off the skin. It's simply wonderful. Try it. lit does not harm the skin in any way whatever, and leaves no mark. It Is ideal. For one dollar you can get from any drug store enough sulfo solution to last for quite while.
 Every woman should have this splendid article on her dressing ta- ble, because it is simple to use, is ab- solutely safe and never fails. It is certainly remarkable what differ. ence is produced on the average face by removal of even the light down" which many people do not think of removing at all. Just try It yourself and you will see I am entirely right. Miss "A. B. C."-I've seen bald spots fill out in two weeks with new hair by using this formula. It makes hair grow almost like a weed, just glorious. Mako this yourself at home, and you'll have the best hair grower ever known. Get an ounce of betauuinol from your druggist. for fifty cents and mix with a pint of bay rum Cor with half pint each of water and alcoloD. Use this frel quently, and you will have head of hair to be proud of.
 Hazel X.-The deep wrinkles on both cheeks can be as easily remov- ed as wrinkles on any other part of the face. Unfortunately, few people realize how very easily 1t may be done. They spend money for all kinds of creams, and treatments, when a simple. mixture, made at home, of two ounEes of eptol and two table spoonfuls of glycerine in half a pint of water will do marvels. It has a wonderful rejuvenating effect on the skin and one can look years younger in short time. Get the eptol at any drug store for fifty cents.

"holiest" Spot in World.

The temple of Buddh-Gaya, in north. eastern India. has strong claims to be- ing considered the haliest spot in the world-at least it would be so adjudged If the question were submitted to a universal suffrage. For Buddh Gaya is the .holy of holies of the Buddhist creed, whose believers outnumber those of any other. This is the very spot where Buddha received enlightenment of his heavenly mission 2,4O0 years ago. When he arose after the miracle and paced back and forth lotus flow. CT sprang up and bloomed wherever he placed his foot. Caived lotus blossoms N stone mark the footprints today.

as lily, and the only thing that did it was mixture, made at home, of one ounce of zintone and two table spoonfuls of glycerine in a pint of water. This formula is my own, and I can assure you of quick and splendid results by its use, in fact, the results are astounding in most cases. The zintone can be secured from your druggist. This formula will make over a pint of the quick working complexion beautifier.
 Mrs. T. O. M.-After this, if it should again occur to you that you can rot get the neroxin for black heads or the zintone for the complex ion, send the price, which is 50 cents for either one, to my secretary, ad- dressing Secretary to Valeska Sur ratt, Thompson building, Chicago, Ill.," and you will be supplied by mail at once.
 Annoyed-One of the ingredients of eggs is known to have delight full result on hair. It's use as a shampoo cannot be equalled. You can get even better results for a thorough head-wash by dissolving a teaspoonful of eggol in half cup of water. For twenty-five cents enough eggol can be secured to last for dozen or more shampoos.
 Roamer-Your face powder is evi- dently not fine enough, Athis is the trouble with great manly of them. want you to try a powdeA made af- ter my own formula, of extraordinary fineness, softer than down, "Valeska Surratt Face Powder" now sold by all druggists in flesh, white and bru- nette at fifty cents box. All my friends rave over it.,
 Mrs. F. A. Blackaeads can be removed in a few minutes. Hard. to believe, perhaps, but it is true.

GE ERMANS DRIVEN
FROM STRONGLY
. DEFENDED POST
Historic Castle Is Blown UpI
and Hundreds of Acres of
Fruit Trees Are WantonIyI
Cut Down.

With the French Armies on the
French Front, Thursday, March ~
GO D. M, via Paris, March 30, From
a Staff Correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press 1.-The progress of the
French advance in the vicinity OF
Coucy- e-Chateau, now firmly in
French hands, continued methodically
today. Both cavalry and infantry are
keeping in the closest touch with the
Germans and forcing them to hasten
their retreat.
From the strength and thorough
preparation of the German defensive
works it was evident that a longer
stand was intended. The castle of
Coucy- lie Chateau, unique historical
monument which ten days ago, al
though dismantled, was intact as
constructed in the thirteenth century,
was found by the Associated Press
correspondent when he visited it to-
day to be mere heap OF stones. The
French officer who was the first to
enter the fortress told the story of its
capture on Tuesday. ....
The French pursuing column, it
appears. first sighted the castle from
long distance on March 2l. While
the French were approaching, the
castle seemed to rise in the air and
then, after an awe-inspiring explosion,
resolved into dust which covered the
trees and grass all around with a
white limestone deposit. The French
patrols came nearer and found the
Notifications still held by the Ger
mans and the surrounding glacis and
lowlying lands swept by many ma
chine guns. The French eventually
carried the castle by assault.
The entire surrounding country has
been laid waste. The correspondent
passed over the sites of what had once
been the flourishing villages of Fo-
lembray, Guny. TroslyLoire, st. Au.
bin, Blerancourt and Cuts, and over
hundreds of acres of sawn-down or
chards, while at the waters edge OH
the Oise-Aisne canal he saw num-
ber of bridges burned to the waters
edge
