FARM BUREAU
HONOR WON BY
29 TOWNSHIPS
Winners Announced as First
Year for Project
Closes.

Twenty-nine townships in Indiana
have received awards of honor for
having attained standard of per-
lection set up by the social and
educational department of the In
diana Farm Bureau this year. It
was the first year for the project,
and although the requirements are
high, a sufficient number attained
them to give assurance to the pop
ularity Of the movement throughout
the state, bureau officials state.
The principal requirement for a
township unit to attain a standard
of perfection is to obtain a go per
cent enrolment of the eligible farm
families in the township. Other re-
quirements consist of the develop
ing of a certain number of farm
bureau services and cooperating
with the county agricultural agent
in the promotion of his program
during the year.
1t is expected that large num-
Der of townships will reach the goal
required for awards of honor in
1882, according to Mrs. Charles w.
Sewell, Otterbein, chairman of the
social and educational department.
Campaign Opens
The campaign for the 1882 farm
bureau membership is now under
way in several counties of the state.
A majority of the county units have
completed their drives and report
increased membership lists. Many
township leaders are making an
effort to obtain so per cent enroll
ment of the eligible farm families
in their respective units as a basis
on which to work in reaching a
standard of perfection by the close
of the coming year." states Mrs.
Sewell
The drive for new members will
reach every county of the state by
winter and officials of the state
bureau are expecting the total en-
rollment for next year to surpass
the record of this year by several
thousands.

For the girl who has to teach for a

IN most instances the proper hygiene
of the skin of the face involves
merely washing with good, pure, nom
irritating soap and with warm water.
Occasional changes from hot to cold
water serve to stimulate the circulation
below the surface of the skin and thus
to aid the handling of any lowered
resistance or disease that may develop
in the skin itself
If your skin is dry, light greasing
with cold cream serves to aid flexibility
and to prevent irritation. For women,
powdering with a simple powder, of
which hundreds of satisfactory varie-
ties are now available, serves both as
protection and TO satisfy the demands
of modern fashion. Smearing with
irritating rouges or similar preparations
may be the basis Of acne.
The skin is an organ of the body just
the same as are the brain, the heart
and the liver Anything which in
fluences the body in general unfavora-
bly, will also influence the skin unfa-
ances of digestion, anenia, poor cfrcu-
lation Of the blood. diabetes, Bright's
disease or any of the conditions which
interfere with proper nutrition of the
tissues Of the body will be promptly
reflected in the skin.
Furthermore, a bad diet with an in
Eufhciency of the vitamins that are
necessary to proper growth and devel-
opment. diet which contains an ex-
cess of starch, such as is had by too
much potatoes or pastry or sugar, a
diet which contains too much fat, or
one which contains too much protein
in the form of meats or eggs or high
protein vegetables, will reveal itself
promptly with the skin.
Then, too, you must watch your diet
for the presence of too many acid
forming foods; this will also interfere
with the formation Of proper nutri-
ment material in the blood, and will
lead TO a reaction on the part of the
skin by lowered resistance
Blackheads are usually definitely as
ISOLATED with acne or the formation Of
pimples. IF there are not too many
of the blackheads, it is customary to
remove them b. squeezing either with
the edge Of the thumbnails after thor
ough washing of the face and special
cleansing of the hands and nails, OF
with little device called a cornedo eX-
tractor. This is merely a ring Of meta

infectious matter or pus is formed. In
fact, if the infection goes deep, boil
may result, from the sequence Of black
head and pimple. The basis Of the dis
order is, of course, the excessive action
of the oil glands in the skin.
The first thing advised for most peo-
pie with acne in the way of care of
the skin is to get rid of any infection
that may be active locally. This may
be done by bathing the face in water
as hot as can be comfortably borne and
then by extracting the easily apparent
blackheads and pimples.,
If done expertly, the results are good
If done inexpertly. the irritation result
ing from awkward attempts and from
permitting infectious material to spread
around may make the material worse
After the removal, therefore, it is Gus
tomary to recommend more bathing OF
the skin in hot water, followed by the
use of mild antiseptic solutions. Use
a mild soap so as not TO irTitate the
skin.

was this particular cellar door that

1t Is unwise to threaten a child in

to set punishment for an unspecifed

SPRINCTIME
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

There are the first Spring days when
bird song is rarity. when one robins
chirruping is as thrilling as the one
potted hyacinth you carry home proudly
from the florists through the chilly
sunshine Of Sunday morning. And
then suddenly the woods and the fields
are as lively with music as city street
when barrel organ bursts out and
draws up children, as it seems, out OF
the pavement. Even in the city, wner-
ever there are elmS overcast now with
the elfin green gold of very young leaf
age, a bird may take his station and
pour out faith and delight into April
tWilights.
1t is still too early to look for the
tanagers, and the orioles are still far
behind in the procession, while birds
like the warblers and the flycatchers
and kinglet are ornithologiStS birds,
scarcely noticed by us humber mortals.
Now is the season of that troubadour
the catbird; in quiet neighborhoods the
thrushes sing, and wherever the SUM-
light lies on the meadows the white
throat song sparrow drops wistful rap
ture into the silences of the hour before
noon, the towhee twangs out sweet
monotony in the brushwood near my
house, and early every morning the
redstart gives concert. If I wait till
after breakfast to go out looking for
him in the NAPLES, he will already have
fallen silent. The cardinal bird Is SO
vociferous that even on misty mornings
he whistles from the ravines where the
bloodroot blows.
The time to hear bird music, of
course, is between 4 and o'clock in
the morning. Seven o'clock Is not tJQ
late, but by o'clock the fine rapture
Is over, due, suspect, to the content
ment that comes with good break
fast.
Poetry, says a friend of mine, Is the
expression of discomfort. And 1 notice
that when it Is almost dinner time the
birds once more lift up their beloved
voices. though not perhaps with the in
nocent ardor of the first morning
hunger.
Now it stands to reason that not
everybody can listen in on the best of
the chorus, since 1t begins at such I'M
handy hours, if you have to go far
afield to hear the birds in the country.
But even in Washington itself at this
time Of year there is mighty chorus
Of bird song from the street trees, while
everybody who lives near Rock Greek
Park is well situated for any sort of
ornithology, be it the most unrestricted
admiration or the serious quest of the
true scientist with his binoculars. Be-

The double curtains are much more
convenient than two sets, as they call
for only one set of fixtures. The only
object in having two sets is that you
may sometimes wish to have shades

when the double ones are used. The

Dinner and lunch were not 50 bad, but
breakfast was a meal which she never
seemed to want these days. She had
talked to the doctor about it. He sug-

a cracker in bed before she got up.
Then after she had her shower and
was in a comfortable neglige she could
have her breakfast brought to her
room. She tried this scheme and
found it worked fairly we'll.
Joan would come in each morning
in a most friendly and important fash

down to the maid and then came

The omelet was not such a success, for
it usually fell before the tray was
brought to her and she was ready to
eat. Occasionally she liked crisp bacon,
which she took up or her fingers.
Soft cooked eggs in the shell were
not bad. She wanted coffee and asked
the doctor what he thought. He told
her to continue drinking it. especially
since she used the drip coffee method
in making it, She drank a glass Of
milk in the middle of the morning
and ate at least two raw green vege-
tables as salads each day.

she took downstairs was usually some

to put a flower on Nancys tray, but
Nancy told her that bud vase which
holds but one flower is not very secure
on a tray. So then Joan brought the
flower up and made Nancy guess what
kind she was hiding.
Nancy usually chose strained orange
juice. chilled but not iced. This was
followed by dish of oatmeal, cooked
