uedE EtOuStNolN-
l have been thinking for some time
that 1 would write from sunny Florida,
After living for more than twenty
years i'm Iowa, one of the coolest states
Then twenty years in Texas. near r.
Paso. where il is so dry. | am delight
ed with this beautiful climate. We
have 4 fine supply of vegetables now
and the most delicious sugar peas. You
string them like beans and cook poo
and all. and my flowers are beautiful
We have had roses all winter and
dianthus. pinks, pansies. bcgonias
ferns verbenas and many other kinds
But / must say that people must adapt
themselves to the farming ways OF the
country to succeed. They must not eN'
pect to come here from the north and
west and make great crops using Sht
method they did there for the soil as
entirely different. But by changing
ones methods il is an easy country
TO live in, but not without work on
no, to succeed We must work. j am
very much interested in Mr.. Warren's
letters from Amarillo, Tex. Although
we like Florida best we are always
glad to hear from dear old Texas, my
children's home state.
1 want to give a little information To
the many readers: One of the finest
remedies Tor a rising or LOT dia Gu SOAe
Is mutton tallow and camphor.. Melt
10 cents worth of camphOr gum in one
pint of mutton tallcw, wash the ris-
ing or sore twice a day in warm water
then amply the tallow and camphor
have il warm and rub il in thorough
IL. l accidently discovered this IN
treating a COW for a rising. She got
cut on barbwire and had a rising and
in less than three weeks was entirely
we'll. In less than two weeks the rls-
ing had bursted, and then 1t healed
very rapidly. Since then we have used
the same remedy for man and beast
with fine results. If a person should
uSa il for an old sore they must use
some good blood purifier at the same
time.
It is with pleasure that l always
turn TO the Our Household" and The
Country Home" page of The Journal
The nrst thing 1 do ! always take a
Tool, AT dear Mrs. FELTON, and Mrs.

much and have thought of writing TO

Sure! High Heels
Cause CornS But
Who Cares Now

Because style DEGREES that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes

corns. then they cut and trim at these
,ainful pests. which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw, and women are
warned to stop il.
4 few drops OF a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezoue which
costs very little, but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet
This drug is an ether compound and
dries in a moment and simply shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Clip this out and pin on your

The Extinct Billy Goat.

Strange is the march of time. The Billy and Nanny goat were once a dominating feature in every American community. A snapshot could not have been taken without q goat somewhere in the picture, but the goat was not de.,med fit insect to hobnob in swell society. It's product might be admitted across the threshold of the rich, but not it's savory self. The highest stand ard the goat has ever attained is the mascotship of a volunteer fire com pany, or q similar office in the U. s navy, which was practically the low est rank of any living thing abroad In his palmy days vivid posters were often seen of him ill the act cf jug sling with a glass of fresh book, and now the American Billy goat is doomed to pass down the line of has-bcens.-- Exchange.

Shark Fishing Arabian Industry,

Shark fishing is quite an industry among the Arab fishermen of Alden The best grounds are between Alden and Shulra, an Arabian port about eleven miles east of Alden, writes Con sul Southard from Alden, Arabia. There are also good shark fishing grounds at Makalla, another Arabian pori some distance beyond Shulzra. Shark fisher. men also have good luck at most riaces along the British Somaliland coast The usual fishing vessel is the typical Arab sailing dhow. Both nets and hooks are used ill fishing. The nets are very strongly woven, the best ones coming from the Persian Gulf, and are from 100 to 150 feet in length and about p feet wide. Sharks from to z feet in length are usually caught in the nets, while hooks are used for the capture of larger sizes. Fishing with hooks is often Gone from small boats and requires considerable courage, as Q large fish will sometimes overturn the boat and throw the occupants into the water, where they have more than an even chance of being attacked by other sharks.

aea 9torehouse Of Treasure.

Perhaps everything that is lost finds Its way to the sea, the. great swallower Of valuable things, which certainly has 6 capacity equal to hiding from human sight every movable object on earth Among the strangest stories of the sea are those relating to treasures fished from its depths. The incident of fish being caught, and having in its stom- ach ring, has occurred so frequently that 1t has lost its strangeness. The fish of the sea are voracious and not at all discriminating, so that it Is a'' most impossible to say what has no' been found in their stomaclls. Sharks have been made to disgorge pipes boots, books, money, clothing and hard ware, and other fish are but little less voracious. Vast as it is, the sea, in course of ages, has received SC many wrecks that it's bottom is a storehc1:' of treasure.

Proper illustration.

It is mistake. ayers the nluminat- Ing Engineer Society, to use bright light against dark background, and while an artistic fixture is well enough as $ decoration, yet lamps which in themselves are good and suitable will not be satisfactory from a hygienic standpoint unless the fixtures are in the right position. In planning the Il. lumination of Q room 1t Is only com mon sense to determine just what you are going to use that room for, anS then to arrange the lighting. By do Ing this it should be possible for peo. pie of middle age to add years of ex- cellent eyesight which otherwise would soon diminish. Where childreE of various ages are in a family the matter of artificial light is of great i'm. portance. The general health of a growing boy or girl may be seriously affected by careless lighting, especial. ly in rooms where they read or study their lessons.

Turkish Towels.

Turkey exports more towels than any other country, which is largely be- cause the average Turk has no use for towel himself. When the first Turk made towel he couldn't imagine what to do with 1t, so he sold it to tourist and in this way the Turkish towel in- dustry arose. A Turk has no patience with a towel. As soon as he makes one le wants to have it out of his sight. He doesn't mind Turkish rugs, and he will even smoke q Turkish cigarette, but Turkish towel gets him going. The lending feature of Turk lsh towel is that you can dry yourself on both sides, which makes it of spe cial value. Operating Turkish towel Is quite knack and most people de- velop their own style of play. A man can get more vigorous exercise after morning bath in drying his back with a Turkish towel than in hustling trunks. The only objection to Turkish towels as an exercise is that it doesn't get you out in the open air.--Illinois State Register.

Leoend of Hanqman's 3toner

Numerous large powders in Eng land as we'll as in this country have received the name Of the hangman's stone, as a result of legend which attaches much the same story to eoc There were two fends in the parish of Toremark, in Dcrbyshire, called the Great and the Little Hangman's Stone, from the boulders which they con- tained. The for,ner was five or six feet high, with an inden :ation running across the top. This peculiar mark was explained by tradition, as follows Once upon q time a thief, having stolen sheep, placed his booty on the top of the stone while he rested, but 1t slipped off and strangled the man with the rope which tied the sheep to his back. the indentation being made by the friction of the rope passing back and forth in the struggles of the dying man 10 extricate himself.

Historic Little Island.

On the little, misty, storm-swep' Island of Iona, in the Hebrides to the west of Scotland, lie the ruins of the monastery whence came the men who Christianized the British Isles. The island has changed but little from what it must have been in those remote times. The same dense fogs still veil it, rising from the warm gulf stream, the same westerly gales howl over it. And in the little sheltered grassy hol- lows the simple people live and till the soil, as they did in the days of St. Columbia, who founded the monastery. Their implements may be more mod ern, but they are the same silent, kind- ly Celts.

Mere Money Gettlnu,

As I approach the end, I am more than a little puzzled to account for the instances I have seen of business success-money getting. It comes from a rather low instinct. Certainly, so far as my observation goes, it is rarely met with in connection with the finer or more investing traits of character. I have known, and known tolerably well, good many success full men," -"big" fnancially-men fa- nous during the last half century, and a less interesting crowd do not care to encounter. Not one that l have ever known would care to meet again, either in this world or the next; nor is one of them associated in my mind with the idea of humor, thought or refinement. A set of mere money getters and traders, they were essentially unattractive and uninter- esting.-Charles Francis Adams.
