INING ITCH WAS CURED "I deem It nay duty to tell about a cure that the Cuticura Soap and Oint ment have made on myself. My trou* ble began In splotches breaking out right In the edge of my hair on the forehead, and spread over the front part of the top of my head from ear to ear, and over my ears which caused a most fearful burning itch, or eczema. "For three years I had thiB terrible breaking out on my forehead and scalp. I tried our family doctor and he failed to cure It Then I tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used them foi two months with the result of & complete cure. Cuticura Soap and Ointment should have the credit due, and I have advised a lbt of peo ple to use them." i (Signed) C. D. Tharrington, Creek, N. C., Jan. 26,191L itching Scalp?Hair Fell Out. "I will say that I have been suffer ing with an itching on my scalp for the past few years. My hair fell out in spots all over my head. My scalp started to trouble me with sores, then the sores healed up, and crusts formed on the top. Then the hair fell out and left me three bald spots the shape of a half dollar. 1 went to more than one doctor, but could not get any relief, so I started to use the Cuticura Remedies. I tried one bar of Cutlcara Soap and some Cutlcara Ointment, and felt relieved right away. Now the bald spots have disappeared,, and my hair has grown, thanks to the Cuti cura Soap and Ointment I highly recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all that are sufTering with scalp trou-y + ble.".

NOVEL AND DAINTY 8ANDWICHE& Every hostess, when entertaining, racks her brain for something that will be a little different from those served by her friends. When prepar ing the sandwiches why not use fancy cutters Instead of the squares and tri angles which have been the thing so long? Some will say, "there is so much waste in using cutters." That is true, but those scraps need not be wasted, and sandwiches of this kind are so much more attractive, a point that every entertainer strives for. The greater the variety of cutters you possess the more stylish will be your refreshments. The hardest part of maklhg sand wiches is in cutting the bread thin enough. The more wafer-like, the more dainty they are., To make especially nice sandwiches, the crust of the bread Is removed. The butter used tor spreading sand wiches should be creamed until soft and waxy. Nuts chopped and mixed with crfeam cheese will make most de lectable sandwich filling. 'When meat is used it is better to chop It and add the desired seasonings and milk or cream to make It of the consistency to spread. Spanish peppers pounded to a paste and mixed with cream cheese is an other tasty combination. An excellent sweet sandwich is ma ple sugar grated and mixed with chopped almonds, or marmalade or preserved gingered pears make a nice filling, chopped fine. Fish pounded to a paste and mixed with a little salad dressing makes good sandwiches. Preserved ginger chopped and thinned to spread with some of the sirup is another favorite with 'thoBe who kre fond of ginger.

The secret of bull Ighting lies in self control, for the successful fighter must stand still un :11 the bull is within an arm's reach before beginning the leap to one side, [f this movement is made too soon the animal has time to change its course and may overtake and dispatch the bullfighter.

William J. Sums the World'* / Greatest Sleuth. "Common Senas It the 8ecrot of HI* . Success ? The McNamara Case Hac Made Him 'Famous the World Over. Los Angeles, Cai ? Common sense the most uncommon thing In the world, j la the secret by which William J. Burns, whose work In connection with the McNamara cases made his name world-wide, has risen to be crowned king of American detectives. Although he has dealt with some of the most hardened criminals In the country he has never fired * shot at a human being. I, Burns Is the essence of the ordi nary. Ay man about middle height, broad shouldered, with prominent fea tures and a pair of gray eyes that bore through you and the wall beyond, reddish brown hair, untouched by age; his mustache tinged with gray, attired probably a bit more carefully and up to date than the average busi ness man, and with a manner alert and positive, he presents not the ap pearance of a detective/but to the unknowing passes oft for a prosperous citizen of fastidious taste regarding dress.' - " v ? h Burns waa appointed to the govern ment secret service In 1890 and was located in the west, working in Indian territory, Texas, Arkansas and the south. He was soon placed In charge of that district, and In 1894 was trans ferred to Washington, where he was promoted for good work, and got a roving commission, going wherever there was an unusually important case. !' One of the biggest feats i?i those days was the running, down of thd principles in the BrocJkway-Bradford Courtney gang of ... counterfeiters'. When this gang was run to earth and cornered. in a building in West Ho? - T U-., UUK9I1, J.( lilts/ U1.U 111 IUCU puoovu sion more than $2,000,000 la gold cer~ j tificates and a lot of Canadian coun terfeit notes. So accurate were the gold certificates the government had already accepted $80,000 ' -worth of them, atd in order to pick the bogus ; from the genuine It was necessary to summon one of the counterfeiters to Washington. 1 Another brilliant piece tif detective work , by Burns was in connection with extensive land frauds in the west. Re was more than three years on this case and when' he had finished and turned the evidence over to the gov ernment it resulted in the conviction of United States Senator Mitchell of Oregon and of two wealthy land own ers, Hyde and Benson of California. From these land leases Burns went to San Francisco to dig amid the mass of political and municipal corruption to that city. Three years were neces ary for the investigation. It resulted In sending Mayor Schmitz to the peni tentiary for five years; Ruef, the po litical boss, for fourteen years; Glass, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific State Telephone compafty, and several others to prison for vari ous periods. .' ' Burns, notwithstanding the nature of his profession, has a strong belief in the integrity of human nature. "There never was a time," he says, "when the moral sentiment of the people was more easily and qujckly aroused than at present, or when there was a finer sense of honesty In the various relations of daily life. Even bad men want good govern ment?if they are not making money out of bad government. Nor do I be lieve In the heredity of crime. Lom broso and other scientists speculate and write essays, but coming right down to common experience, which is a better test than philosophy or long tables of figures, I know thai environment and not birth is the one great cause of criminal conduct." He has always held that the detec tive business was simply a matter of Mrco Ha la rrmMntiallv tell t'Uiiiaiuu o^uov> ?Y- ???m lng his subordinates that every crook, no matter how clever he Is, alwaya leaves a trail behind. Intellectually, Bums Is the most re Eourceful and brilliant detective in the United States. Nowhere else on earth, perhaps; can anyone match him in the ability to think out the snarled prob lems of mystery and crime. Sentenced Six Times to Die.

November 1 finds me busy looking to my houses, tbe window sashes. etc., spreading dry earth In the pens, so that my pets may be comfortable dur ing the winter. By this time 1 nave culled and arranged my stock lor the winter so tbat 1 have bird* of about the same age, together with my breed ers and promising pullets, separated fronf.my utility stock, the cockefels. of course, by themselves, says a writer in the Orange Judd Farmer. The morning meal, thrown in the lit ter, for the utility pullets is made up of wheat one ounce, oats and barley one-fourth ounce each. Tbrte noons of each week they are fed one ounce of green cut bone each, and the re maining noon a mash oi one-half , chopped feed, oats and corn, and one half bran at the rate of one ounce each,, dry weight. The evening meal consist* of one-half ounce each of wheat, cracked corn and barley, ex cept in extreme cold weather, when nothing but cracked corn is fed. Male birds and breeding pen fe males get for breakfast one-half ounce each of wheat, corn and oats! at noon, raw vegetables; at night. one-Half Ounce each of corn and oats, again substituting corn In vbty cold weatlL r. These rowls get one ounce of gyeep cut bone once a week, and ail stock get raw cabbage and mangels every day. ,The ration for the utility stock i consider a forcing ration; in tbe two wlnte-3 Thave used it 1 have obtained a little more than a doxen eggs each during December, January and 'February. March is usually a banner"monyr for eggs. The mash is not a good one, but is the beat 1 can UBe at noons with the short time at mf> disposal. Noon is the, time 1 wish mf'birds to have a warm meal. ' I keep down vermin by whitewash ing twice a year, giving the biros road dual for a bath, and putting tobaccp stems in the nesta. The male birds 1 dust frequently wltb a good . louse powder. My plan of feeding 1 realize is not ideal, it is criticised by local poultrymen, but I give it, as It may be of use to someone else. 4 V ' MERITS OF COCHIN VARIETY Excellent Producer* of Egg* In- Win ter and Young Chickens Are t Fairly Good oh the Table. ? ' Cochins-have certainly the merit of laying well In winter, due probably to their profuse feathering, which pre* vents undue evaporation < of heat. Young chickens are fairly good on the table, but when older they cannot. be regarded as even passable in that re spect The flesh is at ail times very yellow, and more largely developed on the thighs than the b.reast This is due to the fact that Cochins are not I dyers; they have only small wings. whilst very large ones would*be need ! ed to support such a heavy frame. The weight which Cochins attain 1ft Partridge Cochin. very good Indeed. Adult cocks rang* from twelve to fifteen pounds, hens eight to eleven pounds, and cockerels and pullets two to three pounds less. They are very hardy, and can stand almost any place and soil, but they do best on short, level grass, for the foot feather is broken and spoiled when on long grass or rough ground., The partridge Cbchln possesses a preat variety and brilliancy of color, the admixture in parts of glossy metal* 11c black, rich dark red, bay and orange giving a very striking effect. The breast, coverts, wing butt, under parts. tail and leg feathers are black, and the saddle iind hackle golden red or orange. This refers to cocks, and the hens are equally effective, as the light brown plumage is disttflCt!7^pen"X clled with a darker shade. Hard Runs Bad. . Keeping fowls on hard runs will frequently cause swollen feet and legs. Tbey must bave some loose ground to scratch over. Test During Incubation. During Incubation eggs should be tested on (be seventh and fourteenth days. At the first test the air cell should measure about a quarter of an Inch, on the tenth day a half Inch; fifteenth,, day, five-eighths inch; nine teenth day three-quarters inch. The measurement should be taken from the middle of the large end. . ' i Poultry In Ireland. Ireland is the greatest poultry grow, ing country In the world. It is rar ahe?d a!

Ireland, with a population of not quite 5,000.000, 1 hns 14,000,000 fowls, while France, with a population of seven times greater, has only 40,000,000. Poultry and Dairy.

MEMORY VERSES-IS, 11 GOLDEN TEXT?"Without faith It la Impossible to please God.'?Heb. 11:4. V * The Old Teetament closes wfth a prophecy; the New Testament opens with the announcement of the fulfill ment of that prophecy. Thus both Testaments" are characterized In this' lesson: The Testament, prophecyr the New Testament, fulfillment It La sill T fvgrn ornf^g IV VAVB1 UVUI UUi XA/iU V VITM " that John the Baptist fulfilled this Old Testament prediction, (Mat 17: 10: 13). It may be. that a more literal fulfillment lac at ill future, preceeding Christ's second inning. Our attention Is first drawn, to the persons through whom God fulfills his promise. Zacharias and Elizabeth were both righteous. By that is not ceant that they were either sinless or perfect?no human being is that ?but that they were parents whose whole heatV mind, aid strength were dedicated U> the will and service of God. Zacharias' unbelief shows that be wu not sinless. This is the kind of people through whom God is willing, and ready even today to fulfill his promise and blest the world?not through perfect peo ple, but through those who are con stantly striving after perfection. There is no limit to the blessings God will confer upon the world through m if only we will not touch thejtfosyp. The glorious vision an<f message came to John when he was perform ing his duty. And so it. is always. While shepherds watch their flocks the angel comes: We must not for-j ' get that Elizabeth also in her modest, humble seclusion was used to bless the world just as much as Zacharias who was exercising a priestly function so high thai the opportunity came to a priest but once1 In a lifetime. God chooses the weak things as well as the great things: D. L. Moodythe un educated shoe clerk, as-well as Paul, the' scholar. So Isaac was/a quiet man and dwelt In tents. The next tningr to wwcn our auen-, tion.hj the content of the prophecy. First, it concerns a child. Zacharlas and Elisabeth were childless. It la no sta to be childless provided that no law of nature is violated. It is a sad . thins to be cflildless. At least it was ( so considered in Old Testament days: Would that It were considered so to uay! A revival of the mother instinct is needed. This child was t^r he an extraordin ary child?well every mother's child. Is wonderful! This child was to go before the Lord and prepare his way, just as your chUd may follow after the Lord and walk In his steps?a worthy career for both John and your child, and every child. Why should we not hold this ideal constantly before childhood? Upon the promised child was to rest the vow of the Nazarite. That meant two things: > Absolute prohibition fr r?m tntnYlnantft and fiflfclrfl dediCSr tlon to God. Can you think of any two things more desirable for yo child, for eiery chjld? These pal ents had an ideal before them'- fq their child, and that was a tremenj 6us help. Have you? Or do bring your child up at random? St today with an ideal.. Let It be higl| let it be the highest, even Christ. The mission of John, the BaptiJ waa to be perormed by the aid of tl Holy Spirit. Is there not a sub J contrast here between the prohibitlT of intoxication and the filling w| the spirit? Just as the person nnc the in^Ttence of intoxicating liquor] governed^and controlled, by such si its, so the'-ChriBtlan worker la to come so fu/filled with the spirit every part of. him?Intellect, sensilj ties, will, feelings, are under spirit's control/ This spiritual e<]J ment is what ig needed for Chric workers today, "vNfot by might, power, but by my Spirit., sal Lord." ; Because the Baptist was ejjJ ed, be was enabled'to turn_ of . the children towap&f1 Doubtless the Jews had ed .with the Idolatry! of ?
