Sure Way to Regain
Robust Bloom of Youth

A smooth, velvety-soft skin, with a
delicate, peach-like bloom, is one of the
Creators most exquisite works. When
the first blush of youth Is over, this
beautiful tint and satiny lustre are
rarely seen. How to preserve them
that's the question. Famous beauty
experts abroad long have known that
ordinary mereolized wax works wonders
in this direction. 1t actually gives a
new surface to the skin, restoring that
marvellous girlish color and softness in
a remarkable manner. An ounce Of this
wax, procurable at any drug store, will
convert a faded, WORKOUT, discolored,
freekled or pimply complexion into one
OF captivating loneliness in less than
two weeks
No special skill Is necessary in apply
ing mercolized wax, 1t being smeared on
at night like cold cream and washed
off in the morning. adv.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

A couple of years ago state agri-
cultural secretary sent out question
naire to several hundred wives OF
farmers Of his state, and among the
questions was this:
'If you could have only one of the
modern Improvements In your home,
which one would you select?"
Two-thirds of the answers received
declared for "some system of running
water"
This illustrates the demand in rural
districts for homes planned to contain
the same conveniences that are in
stalled In practically all city and town
houses. And the architects, who spe-
ciallze In farm buildings, are taking
their cue and are planning just such
homes. The bath room, which a few
years ago was built into compara-
lively small percentage of farm homes
now is In every design. Also, the
plans call for wiring for electric lights
and the many home conveniences that
electricity makes possible.
Herewith Is illustrated modern
farm home that Is economical to build
but has embodied in 1t the features
that the present-day builder wants and
demands. The house is slightly rect

There Is no best breed Of swine.
Some breeds are superior to others in
certain respects and one breed may
be better adapted than another to GER
tain local conditions. The essential
point is that after the farmer has once
decided upon the kind Of hog to raise
he should stick to this decision and
develop the chosen breed to Its highest
possible standard. 1t is not feasible
for one individual to raise several diff
ferent breeds and bring them to per-
lection. In making his choice, too, the
farmer should be guided by the kind
of breeds already established in his
locality. If he selects one Of these
he is not likely to make mistake.
Two Types Of Swine.
There are two distinct types OF
swine, namely, the lard and the bacon
types. Swine of the lard type far out
number those of the bacon type in the
United States. The lard type Is pre-
ferred by the people of this country
consequently the majority of feeders
produce rapid-fattening, heavy
fieshed lard type. The bacon type Is
not raised extensively in the United
States. The production Of choice ba'
con is more general in those sections

'In January, 1918, we were raided.
The raiders were Carranzista soldiers

ran the house, made all the plantation
hands quit and told US they would run
every American out of the country.
