HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BLACKHEADS
For pimples and blackheads the fol-
lowing Is a most effective and eco-
nomical treatment: Gently smear the
affected parts with Cuticura Oint-
ment, on the end of the finger, but
do not rub. Wash off the Cuticura
Ointment in five minutes with Cuti-
cura Soap and hot water and continue
bathing for some minutes. This treat-
ment is best on rising and retiring.
At other times use Cuticura Soap
freely for the toilet and bath, to as-
sist in preventing inflammation, irri-
tation and clogging of the pores, the
common cause of pimples, blackheads,
redness and roughness, yellow, oily,
mothy and other unwholesome condi-
tions of the skin.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address
post-card “Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston.”
Meeting Emergencies.
Senator Dixon wub condemning a
piece of political deception.
"The thing was as flagrant,” he said,
“as the railway case.
“Two men, one of thorn very short,
were passing through a station toward ,
the train gates when the bigger one
was heard to say:
" ‘I've got a half ticket fur ye,
George. Yer so little, ye’ll pass, all
right.’
“‘But,’ protested George,‘how about I
my beard?’ And he twiddled his chin J
beard nervously.
“ ‘Oh,’ rejoined the other, “tell ’em i
it’s a mole.’ ”
OR the average man, as the Business Almanac points out, all
investment starts with the savings bank. A few men make money
suddenly or inherit a considerable amount and become sudden
investors. The rule is that a man must be a saver of money for
a considerable time before he becomes a buyer of securities. So the first
and most vital question is, “What shall I do with my small savings?”
t There are more than forty forms of co-operative, mutual benefit, sav- |
ings and other similar associations in the United States. They arc organ- .
ized to take care of savings in any amount from the smallest to the great- !
est sums. Many of them are excellently managed, honest in intent and
are worthy of encouragement. Some arc* properly looked upon with sus-
picion.
Most generally used, of course, are the savings banks. They have ;
been tried, by fire. Speaking generally, they are the most secure financial I
institutions we have. Our states have wisely regulated their operations— j
most of them have. Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York have done !
beat. Ohio has a good law. Less protection for the savings bank depos- j
itor is offered in the south and west than is judged wise to furnish in the ;
east. Here are some of the prohibitions the New York law puts upon its 1
savings institutions:
They cannot loan money on notes, drafts, bills of exchange or any
personal securities whatever.
They cannot buy stocks.
They cannot buy bonds or other forms of security issued by any |
industrial, manufacturing or street railway company.
They cannot buy or loan money on farm lands nor on mortgages '
outside of New York state.
They cannot buy bonds which are not, at least in part, first mortgages I
on the property bonded.
They cannot buy real estate bonds or mortgages until after a commit- i
tee of the bank’s trustees makes a thorough examination of the property I
on which the bonds or mortgages are to be placed.
All of these restrictions are salutary. They indicate some of the 1
safeguards a prudent man ought to throw around his savings and also
the tests he ought to make of his investment selections.

SAVED FROM
AN OPERATION
How Mrs. Reed of Peoria, 111.,
Escaped The Sur-
geon’s Knife.
Upon the authority of a Chicago phy-
sician it was recently asserted that to de-
prive the human race of salt for even a few
months would have a disastrous effect upon
the health of the people. This, I believe,
has always been the teaching of our text-
books, and I am not prepared to dispute its
truth, in so far as civilized man is con-
cerned.
There are, however, upon this earth
many animals, wild or domestic, which get
little or no salt and yet are healthy. True,
they have a craving for it, as is shown by
the fact that when given the opportunity
they devour it in astonishing quantities, and hunters have long taken ad-
vantage of the fact that wild animals will return to the salt lick. But
when there is no such spot known to them they live their whole lives
without it.
Of the use of salt for seasoning and preserving their food the North
American Indians knew absolutely nothing, yet all authorities agree they
were a particularly healthy people, until they were afflicted by the white
man’s vices and the white man’s diseases.
It is true there are some accounts to the effect that their medicine
men had noted the action of animals above referred to and administered
salt to their patients, and they may thus have benefited individual cases.
But as a race they were a meat-eating people, without salt, and yet a
healthy people.
Furthermore, white men who went among them and lived as they
lived scarcely missed the salt after they became used to its absence.
pork at any profit.
The ordinary stock pasture is only
a very little better than no pasture
at all for the hog that you are trying
to put fat upon. I notice that while It
undoubtedly keeps my hogs healthy
and vigorous, yet the amount of exer-
cise they get on such pasture takes
some fat off them.
Rape is the most satisfactory hog
pasture that I have been able to find,
says a writer In Farm Progress. It
grows quickly, and can be scftvn
rather late in the season. The hogs
like It better than any slops or spe-
cials feeds you can prepare for them.
It should be sown by Itself, and the
hog raiser who has a patch now grow-
ing considers himself fortunate.
Last year I sowed an old orchard
with rape late In April, and was sur-
prised to see It renew Itself two or
three Umes during the summer In spite
of the dry season. I kept the hogs
out of it till it was high enough to
hide a rabbit, and they were unable
to keep it down. If the hogs are full
grown, It is good policy to keep them
out of the rape patch till it is a foot
in height. In case they eat it down
the hogs should be taken out of the
field till the rape gets another
growth.
Cowpeas Sown at this time in the
year should furnish very good late
pasture for the hogs. Peas are not of
so very much value to the hog till the
pods are formed, and are beginning
to ripen Just a little. Then they are
best possible condition for the heavy
corn feeding that comes a little later
in the year.
It la not too late yet for the nortL-
ern farmer to plant pumpkins to be
used as hog feed in the fall. This Is a
feed that can be raised at very
little cost, and yet will prove very
valuable In the autumn, especially
when pastures are short. I always
plant a large number of pumpkins in
the corn fields at the time when the
corn Is “laid by.”
Follow up this last cultivation by
planting a few hundred pumpkins In
hills, and you will have a good many
wagon loads of pumpkins that will
come In very handy when the first
hogs are put In the fattening pens.
The pumpkins that are grown down
In the corn field’s shade will not be as
big or as yellow as those that are
grown at the edge of the field, but
they will be more than worth the
trouble of hauling them and feeding
them. They help the hog, the shoat
that Is just being started on a heavy
ration, over the period from pasture
to grain feed.
Where the corn field Is “hogged
down,” as sometimes done, the pump-
kins scattered through it will serve as
a fine change from the corn itself, and
will give the porkers something suc-
culent. Piled up in the barn sheds or
granery shelter, out of immediate
danger of frost, the pumpkins will
, usually escape freezing till they arf
'fed away.

The other day it was suggested again
that instead of going into factories women
and girls should turn more generally to
housework. The suggestion is all right, but
there is a big field for improvement in the
life of the average woman who does house-
work for others, and the leading American
women could do lots of good for their sex
by introducing a better plan for the poor
girls who do the housework.
At the present time and for as long ns
I can recollect girls Ijave had to work from
G :00 a. m. to 8 :00 or 9:00 p. m., without
time to eat properly or to take care of
their bodies. I know positively that many girls are nervous wrecks after
doing this kind of work for some time.
They have Sunday evenings and Thursday afternoon to themselves,
but most of them are too tired to enjoy their few hours.
In no other country are the girls f ed to work so fast or to do so
much in so short a time as here.
Stop this cruelty and the girls will not go to the factories or be will-
ing to marry lazy men, drunkards and gamblers.
By MARIE J. MORLHAM, Boston
As soon as the sex can be deter-
mined, it is well to put the pullets by
j themselves. They will grow faster
! and do better. In fact, they should be
I fed differently from the cockerels, for
| you will want to get them in shape for
early egg production.
Now, it is not well to force them
prematurely into egg production, but
it is best to get them In condition so
that they will begin to lay during the
fall. This is the harvest time, for It
is then that you will get the highest
prices paid for eggs. If you have a
nice lot of pullets that are laying dur-
ing the fall end early winter, you will
get splendid returns from them.
These pullets, as soon as separated,
should be given a clean house and
kept free from lice. If you find when
making the division that some of them
have lice, it should be well to powder
them and put them all In a small
house, where you can attend to them
before putting them In their regular
quarters. Feed plenty of bran ana
beef scrap, and keep oyster shells b*
fore them.
They will come along nicely when
away from the annoyance of the cock-
erels, and after they have become
used to their new home and see one
another, they will grow like weeds,
and soon look like mature birds.

“One of our chaplains,” said the
prince, “had the hardihood to preach
in English at one of your Lutheran
chapels the other day. He astonished
bis congregation by saying, as he
rose, that he would choose for his text
the words;
”‘And he tore his shirt.’
“A quite audible snicker went round.
The chaplain noticed it, flushed, and
repeated the text in a louder, slower,
more distinct and Impressive voice:
“ ‘And ho tore hls shirt.’
fhe chaplain noticed it, flushed, and
the pastor rose and said:
“ ‘Our good brother is quoting, of

Pedagogy is the most neglected of all
sciences. Before there are good pupils
there must be good teachers. If a school
system turns out inefficient, stupid gradu-
ates and that same system is responsible
for the turning out of the teachers—how
can the latter be anything except stupid
and inefficient? The pedagogues teach the
pupils—but who teaches the pedagogues?
It is all a vicious circle.
The teaching faculty is a distinct fac-
ulty. A man may know all there is to
know about chemistry, say, and yet not be
able to impart a definite knowledge of the
elementary principles of chemistry to a class. The school of the future
must aim at conferring on the pupil the maximum of happiness. In hap-
piness only is there real growth.
The educational system proceeds now upon the old medical theory
that the more unpleasant a medicine tastes the better it works.
