FRECKLES
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots.


There's no longer the slightest
need of feeling ashamed of your
freckles, as Othine-double strength
is guaranteed to remove these
homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning and you should soon see
that even the worst freclles have
begun to disappear, while the lighter
ones have vanished entirely. 1t is
seldom that more than an ounce is
needed to completely clear the skin
and gain a beautiful, clear COM
pleXion.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength Othine as this is sold under
guarantee of money back if it fails
to remove freckles.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
AT BARN WARMING

In spite of the downpour of rain all
Saturday morning, more than one-hun-
bred farmers came out to see the mod
cl beef cattle barn recently construct.
ed by the Bonnie Terre Farming ans
Cattle Co., and, also, their excellent
herd of Polled Herefords. Mr.. B. o.
Cannon, from Des Moines, Iowa
Secretary of the American Polled
Hereford Breeders Association, was
present and talked to the men gathered
at the barn, on the status of the pure
bred beef cattle business. He praised
the herd and equipment of the Bonnie
Terre Company very highly. He said
that since the beginning of the year
he had travelled more than $4,000 miles
and had visited hundreds Of farms but
had found very few better equipped
than the Bonnie Terre company. He
also said that the company had q
number of animals which would be
priced very highly on the farms of the
very best Polled Hereford breeders.
Mr.. S. 7. Simpson, from the College
of Agriculture, was also present and
made a short talk. Mr.. Simpson said
that it was hard to realize the rapid
growth of the cattle industry in ST.
Francois county during the last ten
years. He said that his first visit 10
st. Francois county was made almost
ten years ago and at that time there
was no County Agent in this county,
no Hereford Association, only q few
purebred Hereford breeders and no
farm equipment for beef cattle pro-
duction as can be found at Bonne
Terre today. During the last ten
years, st. Francois county has stepped
out ahead of her neighboring counties,
first employing a County Agent, and
next, organizing a Hereford Breeders
Association, which has built up the
Hereford cattle industry to where it
now stands. Mr.. Cannon and Mr..
Simpson left on an early train and
many of the farmers did not reach the
barn until they had left.
The new barn built by the company
has concrete floors and managers
throughout, will accommodate more
than 100 head of cattle, has feed and
litter carriers to all stalls, and has an
English system of lighting and ven-
tilating which provides plenty of sun
light and fresh air. A special barn
is built near the main one which will
accommodate five males. They also
have an office and set of platform
scales near the main barn. The herds
mans cottage is built conveniently
near to the other buildings and Is
modern throughout. One of the strong
features Of their equipment is the per-
manent way in which it has been con-
structcd. All material used has been
of the very strongest and best.

MARRIAGE in BULGARIA,

Since Bulgaria's unconditional sur
render to the allies the men Of her
armies have been struggling homeward
and many weddings are being cele-
brated in consequence.
Bulgarian methods Of entertaining
before the wedding do not differ ma.
terially from those of other nations
except that the bride instead of hav-
ing her rousseau carefully put away
in the "hope chest" from which she
only takes it for the privileged few,
hangs it up on cords which are stretch
ed across the main room of the
house. Here it is viewed on the
Friday before the wedding by all
the matrons of the town, while the
bride and the maidens dance before
the door and remain there until the
matrons have given their full criticism
Of each garment, and If they disap-
prove of them the girls must help
the bride make them over until "suit-
able"
Instead Of rice, corn as an emblem
of plenty, is showered over the bride
and groom, who are escorted to their
home with many ceremonies and they
are virtually imprisoned within its
doors.

GREAT EVENT FOR MOSLEMS
Gala Day When the PROCESSION of the
Holy Carpet" Leaves Cairo for
City of Mecca.

Always picturesque, Cairo Is never
more fascinating titan during the "Pro-
cession of the Holy Carpet In the
baZaars we watch the barefooted
workmen embroidering, holding the
cloth in their toes, which appear to
be prehensle, or watch them go to
the nearest mosque to battle five times
a day. AS many times q day also
from the minarets of mosques the
ruezzins are reminding the natives of
the approaching festival, and that GOD
is great, there is no God but God, and
Mohammed is his prophet. Come to
Prayer"
Howling dervishes are dancing in
the mosque near the Square Of Sutten
Hasan, while devout MOslems are en-
gagged in eventide prayer on their
housetops. Water carriers are on the
way to the yellow Nile for water, or
are bearing wine in their goatsilns the
same as in Biblical times, while aged
men in the mosques are appareled ex-
actly as in Abraham's day.
Inc streets are IilICu WIFI S''llSiS,
while thousands of civilians attend the
ceremonial held in the sacred prophet
ic Enclosure in the great square near
the citadel. The enclosure is a pyra-
midal wooden structure covered with
embroidered stuffs emblazoned with
gold embroidery and quotations from
the Koran. Here the people receive the
blessings of the prophet, together with
special dispensations and sacred tails
mans.
The khcdive and his dignitares are
all present to formally start the cara
van and its military escort toward
Mecca, in far-off Arabia. The people
press forward to touch the sacred In
closure kissing it with fervor. Wom-
en- let down their shawls and face wells
from the windows, as the procession
at last starts. Following it are the
pilgrims who will accompany the car
pet to the sanctuary in the mosque at
Mecca, and who will return later with
the same caravan to Cairo, bearing the
carpet of the previous year.

New Uses Of Raw Products.

The Weltmarket directs attention to
new uses of some raw products. In
Holland a useful gum or paste is being
made from garlic. The bulbs are
pressed and the juice or fluid matter
so obtained is thickened by inspissa-
ton. A good substitute for cork is OBJ
tanned from certain fungi, which are
dried and ground, mixed with cement
and consolidated by pressure. In Nor
way a process has been patented to
enable carbide to be used for driving
motors. In Denmark q company has
been floated to make briquettes from
heather. These have a higher heat
value than peat. Experiments are be-
ing made to use chalk mari, especially
that which comes from the Limburg
mines, as manure.

Typhoon Hurt coconut Trees.

The Christmas typhoon which swept
over the southern Philippine islands
did considerable damage to the coco
nut plantations. Trees, especially those
along the seashore and places most
open to the wind We're either blown
down or weakened to such a degree
that unless the affected groves are
cleaned up and taken care of, the trees
still standing are doomed, but for an.
other reason. says the bureau of agri-
culture. The fallen trunks will be-
come breeding places of all manner Of
beetles, borers and other coconut de.
stroying pests and diseases. The
weakened trees, unable to fight these
odds. will sooner or later succumb and
thus the farmers will suffer moro
losses.
