prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agricultural
When circumstances are favorable
as in the case of farmers who hniId
up their herds by raising the proganv
the horns may be prevented from
growing by simple and practically
painless method, and the custom OF
preventing the growth Of the horns 10
becoming more popular and more gen.
orally practiCed under all conditions
except In the case Of calves dropned
on the open range. The calf sbouId
be treated not later than one week az.
ter its BIRTH preferably when It is
from three to FIVE days old. The agent
to be used may be either caustic soda
or caustic potash, both of which NAV
De procured in the drug stores in the
form of sticks about the thickness of
an ordinary lead pencil and : inches
long. These caustics must be handled
with care, as they dissolve the cuticle
and may make the hands or fingers
sore. The preparation Of the calf con-
sists in first clipping the hair from the
parts, washing clean with soap and
warm water, and thoroughly drying
with a cloth or towel. The stick of
caustlc should be wrapped In a piece
OF paper to protect the hands and fin
gers, leaving one end of the stick I'M
covered
Moisten the uncovered end slightly
and rub 1t on the horn buttons or little
points which may be felt on the Calls
head, first on one and then the other,
alternately, two or three times on
each, allowing the caustic to dry after
each application. Be very careful to
apply the caustic to the horn button
only. If 1t is brought in contact with
the surrounding skin it will cause pain.
Be very careful also not to have too
much moisture on the stick of caustic,
as 1t will remove the skin If allowed
to run down over the face. After treat
ment, keep the calf protected from
rain, as water on the head after the
application Of Caustic will cause IL to
run down over the face. This must
be carefully avoided.
Either caustic soda or caustic pot
ash alone, without the admIxture Of
other substances, answers the purpose
satisfactorily. Some years ago, how
ever, certain preparations or "dehorn-
ing compounds" composed largely of
one or the other Of these caustics,
were generally used, and as inquiries
are still occasionally received concern
ing such preparations, the following
formula Is given: Combine in an
emulsion so per cent of caustic soda,

Up to that time she was elected superintendent of schools in Chica go. in 1909, the holding of such an office by a woman was un- known in history. As Professor of Education in the University of Chi cago, she fostered the social side of the university life to an extent. even, of serving tea and cake during the classes. As Superintendent of Schools in Chicago she also fostered the so- cial independence of pupils. In charge of property worth about forty-three million dollars, and of children num- bering about three hundred thousand, she met with such opposition that in 1918 she felt forced to resign, but was reelected, and served until 1915.

FINE MUSICAL
 PROGRAM DRAWS MANY TO BAZAAR
Commentaries 25th Anniv. ersary of Church and
 Society of St. Ladislas.
PLAN DANCE FOR
 THURSDAY NIGHT
Proceeds to Be Given to the Strikers of the City-Ex-
 pect Large Attendance.

Even though the weather was a
 bit unsettled last night, it did not make one bit of difference with the fine time which was enjoyed at the usual Sunday night bazaar held at St. Stephens Hungarian church on Spruce street and Bostwick avenue. Probably the unconcern as to the weather was due to the delightful mu- sical program which was arranged for the entertainment.
 The first number was a dance en- titled Hobby Horses" performed by the small boys of the parish The dance was directed by Sister Frances of the Order of Divine Charity and music by John Feher. A real western atmosphere was thrown on the stage by the appearance of another group
 of boys in an Indian war dance and Indian club drills. Miss Jennie San
 dor, a talented director was respon- sfble for the excellent manner with
 which this act was produced. Miss Elizabeth Kosa and Miss Jennie San
 dor trained the little ladies who made their appearance in washing day at tire in the next number. A pretty and effective Spanish Dance was per formed by the members of the West End Educational Alliance. Miss Hel- en Clarke of the Recreation Board | taught the dance to the young la dies.
 The bazaar last night besides com memorating the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the parish and twentieth an
 niversary of the church building also marked the twentieth anniversary of l the society of Saint Ladislas.
 Thursday night the usual dance | T Ng,,- committee in charge look forward to | an unusually large attendance as half of the profits on that evening will be given over to the striking people i of Bridgeport. This night will be 1 known as Strikers Night

 When to Can Peaches.
 If the housewife was unable to pro cure early fruits for canning she should not be disappointed in procur- ing peaches. Dealers are expecting several thousand baskets of the fla nous Fylberta peaches from Connecti- cut and New York state which should arrive on the market during the first two weeks in September.
 The EIberta peach may not be as low in price as the early varieties Of native peaches which are now on the market but the quality should be far superior, making up the difference iH price. Housewives wishing quality peaches for canning will probably find this fruit at its best beginning about the first of September and tn ? season lasting two or three weeks.
