Conclusions Drawn About World's Hard Prospects From Reports Received at the Department of Agriculture — Estimates Gathered From Almost Every Quarter. Washington.—The season of year has come when the department of agriculture is getting a line upon the growing crops of the world and drawing conclusions about the value of crops. With the value of crops at home and also points with some acco- to the likelihood of prices for todustufs six months hence. The department estimates are gathered from almost every quarter of the world, and include a vast deal of official information. All in all, it is more reliable than the information which comes from the department of the evident interest of commercial authorities in influencing prices. The information of the department of agriculture is comprehensive. It furnishes much about the great food staple, wheat, but also much about feed for animals, about apples for fruit, about hope for the breweries and maltesers concerned, faxseed, which is of moment to the great paint industry, and so on through a long category. The wheat harvest in Europe is now beginning. It is plain that the yield is to be much better than last year. Russia in later times is always an uncertain factor as to what the report is late on. It looks like domain wheat. It would raise 700,000,000 bushels of that cereal this season, which is above the harvest in Russia during 1909 and 1910. The Russian wheat crop, depleted by severe drought in 1911, amounted to hardly 500,000,000 bushels. Wheat conditions in central and western Europe are not quite as good as in 1911, and a wheat shortage of about 60,000,000 bushels is expected there; but, even taking this into account, the crop will be that of all Europe this summer and autumn will be between 100,000,000 and 150,000,000 bushels more than in 1811. Field crops, such as oats and hay and other cereals, in which the European yield for 1911 was phenomenally small, are much better this season, but sufficiently short to warrant a continuance of good prices. The first crop in the European area tries bordering upon the Atlantic ocean has been noticeably short. This will be felt the more keenly because the surplus crop carried over was almost nothing. The English wheat crop will be smaller than last year. The French wheat crop, although sown on 600,000 more acres than the yield materially, the great object of agriculture in France is to make the country self-sustaining, but this will be the third year when the French farmers, in spite of the high agricultural tariff for their protection, will not raise all the foodstuffs the nation will require. Imports of wheat into France were 75,000,000 in 1910 and 125,000,000 bushels in 1811. The Spanish wheat crop has been seriously affected by drought this summer, and the product will be less than in 1911. The Italian wheat crop is expected to show some shortage over 1911. In the Scandinavian countries wheat, however, is promising well, but their crop is comparatively small. Wheat shortages are reported from Hungary and Roumania, but these will affect the international market rather than the consumption requirements at home. Canada has become a mighty factor in the raising of wheat to furnish bread for the world. The wheat acreage in Canada has been increasing by leaps and bounds in recent times, and it is claimed that 3,750,000 additional acres have been sown there during 1912. Nowadays men who study the world supply of food products are constantly looking away to the southern hemisphere. This is the beginning of winter in Argentina, but the book for a tremendous acreage of wheat is much emphasized. More acres will be added in Argentina this year than ever, and that is true also of flaxseed and oats. In Australia the sowing has been retarded over a wide region by the lack of rain, and the drought will probably last in quite a reduction in the crop. Considerable anxiety exists through British cheese to wheat, because the monsoons have not come with their accustomed force. BEEF $UPPLY LEAS That the people of the United States are facing a serious beef famine, was the statement made the other day by an official of the bureau of animal industry. Government statistics on file at the department of agriculture show that in the last ten years there has been an increase in population in the United States of about 20 per cent, when the supply of beef cattle in that time has decreased 6,500,000, or 3 per cent. The supply of dairy cattle has kept place with the increase of population. "The changed conditions of farming in the various parts of the country are the direct causes," said the beef cattle," said a government expert. "Under ordinary conditions the grass you going to send your son to college. Mr. Jenks? "No; he's always at his books, takes no interest in sport of any kind, and as he will never do anything on a football team, I don't see any uses in wasting the money." The Cause. "Miss Phebe has such airy manners." I know. She went up once in a sensitive balloon. farmer who raises beef cattle turns them over to the corn farmer and be in turn supplies the market. The grazing grounds in the middle west have disappeared practically, and instead of buying beef steers from the grass farmer the corn feeder expects to go to the market and buy hir stock. In Indiana, for example, statistics show that the last ten years there has been a decrease of 80,000 in the supply of beef steer, because of the disappearance of grazing land. "The current reports on file in the bureau of animal husbandry show that although the receipts at the stock yards at Indianapolis and other cities are about normal, that there is a marked scarcity of fat cattle. Grain has been selling above normal, too, for some time and that has discouraged the feeders. "The remedy for the scarcity is to increase the breeding of beef cattle in the grazing belt of the United States." PEER OF NAVY the battleship Colorado is the peer of the American navy in gunnery for ships of the battleship class. That vessel beads the list with a score of 71,618 for the fiscal year ended June 30 last. Her closest rival is the battleship Delaware, with a score of 51,434, with the New Hampshire third, score 39,961. In recognition of the showing made by the Colorado, the commendations of the secretary of the navy have been communicated by letter to Capt. W. A. Gill, her commander. The super-dreadnaughts Arkansas and Wyoming, the newest ships of the American navy, are placed in commission about Sept. 1. Capt. R.C. Smith, on new special duty at the navy department, will command the Arkansas. The commander of the Wyoming, which will be the flagship of Rear-Admiral Hugo Osterham, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, has not been picked. ACTIVITIES WORLD-WIDE. The Smithsonian Institution has issued an attractive pamphlet describing, in part, the expeditions which it has organized or participated in during the field seasons of 1910-11, covering a wide variety of investigations conducted both in this country and abroad. During the last two years the institution has been represented in eighteen different exploration and field parties. The scope of these activities has been world-wide, but more recently especial attention has been directed to Africa and the Panama canal zone. Altogether the institution has had work in progress, under its work with the United States Antarctic Institute, Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Panama canal zone, Aleutian Island, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Nebraska, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and the District of Columbia. LESS "STYLISH" KIND WANTED. There recently appeared in a Washington paper an advertisement, as follows: "Girl—American; 18 years old; pleasant mannered, amart, tidy, without artificial hair, powder or paint, to wait on store and soda fountain." The above advertisement shows to what extremes employers are forced to resort in order to obtain reliable help. The proprietor of the store who is advertising for a girl with the characteristics required above, but whose name is withheld, in an interview, said; "I am almost impossible to obtain a girl who does not paint or powder, or wear an immense collar of puffs. It may be the 'style' for a young girl to do all these things, but it does not pay from a business standpoint. I am forced to advertise for the less 'stylish' kind." CASH AN OLD DRAFT. The other day the post office department cashed a draft for $24.02, dated April 1, 1831. This draft was drawn by Assistant Postmaster-General Charles K. Gardner on James Millinkin, postmaster of Tucsarca, Pa., in favor of David Kyle. It took many a long day's search through half a million forgotten and musty files before the draft could be finally certified. This research brought to light the fact that David Kyle, 81 years ago, was a mail carrier from Sellin's Grove, Pa., through 10 villages to Fannettburgh, Pa., He made the trip once a month, and was paid $6.67 each. The funny part of this payment is that the government contracted this debt five years before the department which paid it was created. WYOMING THE FASTEST. Uncle Sam's fastest big warship is the Wyoming, which makes a little over 22 knots an hour. That breaks all speed records for biggun battleships. The naval expert board says that the Wyoming is the fastest battleship in the world carrying 12-inch guns. The Arkansas a few weeks ago made 21 knots an hour, which was a record-breaking performance at that time, but the Wyoming betters the Arkansas's average. Endless Trouble "Why don't you go to the baseball park and forget your troubles?" park and forget you tressee. "I tried that the other day. The home team lost, and I came away with more trouble." "Well, did you go to the place for your vacation, I mentioned, and did the farmer and his wife take you in?" "Take us in? I should say they did take us in. A professional gold brick man could not have improved on their methods." Very Decollete. Husband-What did you pay for that new evening gown? Wife-Fifty dollars. Husband-What; $25 a yard! GOOD ROADS MILEAGE OF IMPROVED ROADS Indiana Leads All States of Union With Ohio a Close Second—Mostly Composed of Gravel. According to information just made public by the director of the office of public roads, Indiana leads all the states of the Union in mileage of improved roads. Most of the improved roads of Indiana and Ohio are composed of gravel and were, for the most part, built by the farmers in working out taxes. In many cases the gravel is dumped on the road without proper spreading or rolling. Roads constructed in this way seldom give entire satisfaction. In eight leading good road states, as shown by the data compiled by the director, are as follows: | Mileage Improved | 1894 | 1899 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Indiana | 23,877 | 24,635 | | Ohio | 23,460 | 24,106 | | York | 16,921 | 12,178 | | Wisconsin | 10,638 | 10,638 | | Kentucky | 9,458 | 10,114 | | Illinois | 7,924 | 8,914 | | California | 8,928 | 8,557 | | Massachusetts | 7,843 | 8,463 | Where decreases are shown, they have been the result of reclassification of roads. Strangely enough, New York is the only one of the eight that appears in the list of the eleven states leading in actual progress in road building in the five-year period. In other words, while the entire eight states maintain their lead, it is merely because of their earlier start, and New York alone is entitled to a place in the list of states in progress in the last five years. The states which are leading in progressive road building are New York, Georgia, Washington, Missouri, South Carolina, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida and Maryland. The gain in New York, according to the director of the office of public roads, is due largely to the fact that the business itself for $50,000, that and $30,000, a year more is being expended by the state, in addition to an equal sum by the counties, in building state highways. New York is leading all the states in actual progress at the present time, and if the pace is maintained she will take the lead ever Indiana and Ohio in actual mileage in a few years. BEST PLACE FOR TOOL HOUSE North Side of Barn is Favored on a count. Cooler, Less Cost per Stock. The north side of a barn is in many ways the best place to house implements, for it is cooler to work in and less needed to shelter the stock than the south side. An iron roof not in every way suited to stock will answer the purpose of the shed. The difficulties in shedding tools is to be able to get at them as needed. The drill is often needed, fall as well as spring, and a lot of tools have to be moved to get at it, and other tools are often hard to reach. Perhaps a square house with a driveway through the middle and plenty of room is the most convenient, for in that case each tool can be moved directly. Doors are not so very much more expensive than the sides of the building, and they can be made tight enough for the machinery which is not affected by drafts. If the shed is not convenient the machinery will be outside a great part of the time. I do not believe it is practical to shed all the wagons in this climate—they must be out so much and heavy that they cannot lift. Which they carry with them will be more effective than shedding part of the time, except with wagons used for hauling which are not in use through the summer. Guinea as a Forager. The guinea fowl is a great forager and destroys many insects that the hens will not touch. They do not scratch the garden and, though not easily kept near the house, they make known the places where they lay by a peculiar noise, which enables one accustomed to them to find all the eggs they lay. They really cost almost nothing to raise, and when roosting near the house create an alarm should intruders make their appearance. Big Feeding Made Easier Set the pig trough close up against the fence and nail a board to the inner side of trough so it will protect trough between the fence boards. When feeding pour the slop on the board from the opposite side and there need be no trouble in keeping the hogs away until the slop is in the trough as under the customary way of doing. Plants for Boultry Yard If your poultry yard not already some shrubs or trees, plant some for shelter for the fowls on hot days. It is well to have two yards, and sow one with grass while they are living in the other. Dlainfecting Reultry House When you whitewash the interior of the poultry house mix a liberal amount of some good disinfectant or crude carbolic acid with the whitewash just before application. Ensure the mixture of all lice and mites with which it comes in contact. Salt the Sheep. Salt the sheep on Canada thistles or other troublesome weeds and they will kill them out without trouble. Sheep helpers in keeping a farm clean. TO BUILD GOOD ROADS TO BUILD GOOD ROADS Much Can Be Learned Before Funds Are Expended. First Learn What Types of Highways Are Best Suited to Traffic and Climatic Conditions — Millions Have Been Wasted. At the present time there are two principal methods of raising funds for good roads, but Director Logan W. Page of the public roads department of the government believes that before plans are set on foot for securing money much should be said regarding the manner in which such funds should be expended. Because a country owns quarries from which trap or limestone rock can be secured that the expensive maquam road must necessarily be built. The qualifications of any rock cannot be definitely decided upon until laboratory tests have been held. Much money has been almost thrown away in this country, however, on the construction of rock-surfaced roads, those having the construction in charge neglecting to call in the experts and using rock totally unsuited to their traffic or climatic conditions. In many cases the results were disastrous, the roads quicklyraveling and going to pieces because the cementing value was lacking. A county which shows insufficient progress to bond itself in a liberal system of securing improved roads should keep its money intact until its officers have learned exactly what class of roads will best meet its requirements, what type of road it is best qualified to construct and what it can best afford. Those facts can be secured through the aid of the national government, the office of public roads, standing committee of the county to supply skilled highway engineers who are qualified to tell what type of highway would best meet that county's requirements and to demonstrate those decisions by supervising the building of stretches of model highways, after which local officials may take pattern. Millions have been wasted in building which local conditions made impracticable and out of all cost proportion to the county's revenue. There are exceptions to all rules, however, and Pike county, Alabama, stands as a glittering exception to the usual construction blunder. There the county officials had planned to expand a large sum in the building of gravel roads. L. Spoon, United States superintendent of road construction, being sent to make an inspection of the county's road possibilities, learned that 700 miles of important routes needed improvement. He figured that the cost of gravel roads would be $3,000 a mile—plainly a sum greater than the county could be afforded. Conditions, however, were ideal for sand-clay construction and he strongly urged its adoption. By a legal provision the county could be bonded for only three and one-half per cent of the assessed value of the real and personal property. The plan was decided upon and an issue of $153,000 was voted, and $100,000 of the bonds were quickly sold, being disposed of in $50,000 allotments. The first allotment brought a premium of $625 and the second one of $252. Forty thousand dollars was at once spent for mules and road-building machinery and work was started. With the sum remaining 118 miles of the finest sand-clay roads in the south had been built within two years from the date of the bond issue, a generous sum was still on hand, the gangs are well worked, the people ready to take up the remaining issue of $43,000 and expend it in the same way. SILAGE AND GRAIN RATIONS Kansas Station Makes Experiment Comparing Manufacturing of Milk Cheapest The Kansas experiment station conducted an experiment comparing the manufacture of milk from grain and from a silage ration. It was found there that the grain ration costs $1.05 to produce 100 pounds of milk, and when silage was substituted in that same ration for half the grain it reduced the price to 68 cents per 100 pounds, a difference of 37 cents. It cost 22 cents to produce one pound of butter fat where grain was used and one pound of where silage was used to take the place of half that ration. A difference of 9 cents again. The profit per cow per year where grain was used was $2.40, and where silage was used $5.85. This shows the value of silage. Grain Interculture In an experiment at Lisbon, N. D., the yield of wheat by the intercultural method, from 20 pounds of seed per acre was $27\frac{1}{2}$ bushels; from one-half bushel of barley per acre $54\frac{1}{2}$ bushels; from three-fourths of a bushel of oats $82$ bushels. These fields were cultivated six to eight times, depending on conditions. By the ordinary methods the same yield of bushels of barley was commonly yielded to 37 bushels; 2 bushels of barley seed yielded 6 to 15 bushels and $2\frac{1}{2}$ bushels of oat seed yielded 0 to 20 bushels per acre. Fresh Water for Chicks Keep the drinking vessels filled with fresh water. More or less food escapes from the beak of the little chick while drinking. This food soon becomes sour in the warm weather and water is foul. Feeding Planta- Plant root hairs feed from the mutest particles of soil. Clods are useless. Crush them and make plant food available. A land roller, pulveriser, mumber and several kinds of barrows are indispensable. Nervous People Should Take a Salt Rub Twice a Day—Many Uses for Mineral. If food is tasteless without salt, it is ruined with too much. Unappetizing cooking is often due to guesswork. A level teapoonful of salt is sufficient for a quart of soup, sauce, or vegetables. It is used once a day is an excellent deftitude, tending to keep off tartar. It is said to retard recoding gums. A half teapoonful of salt added to a cup of hot water—which many persons take each morning—will make it palatable. Do not gargle with salt water. Throat specialists consider it injurious to the tender mucous members of the nose. Do not root the rats; so never fall to rinse with fresh water after sea bathing. To set color in wash materials and embroidery cottons soak them in strong salt water. An excellent tonic for nervous people is to take salt rubs twice a day. As sea salt dissolves slowly, some of it can be kept in solution in a glass container what is needed. The entire salt bath is also good. Where a child is inclined to bow legs or to have a weak back, rub it night and morning with strong salt water. A faded cloth is freshened if wiped off with a wet cloth wrung from strong salt water. Sprinkle floor with dampened salt and sweep well. Bad dyspepsia can be helped by dissolving pinches of salt on the tongue after eating, or when there is a sense of oppression. TIMELY ICE BOX MAXIMS Some Things Worth Remembering When You Need Help In The Refrigerator All cooked food should be cooled as soon as possible before being placed in the ice box. Butter may be kept from taking up the flavors of other food by keeping it in a tightly covered receptacle. Milk requires more access of air but in a clean ice box in which no strong remaining food is kept, milk should remain unfried in favor of twelve to twenty-four hours. If vegetables or other foods of pronounced odor are kept in glass jars with covers or in covered earthenware receptacles there will be fewer odors to be communicated. Portions of canned goods should never be put into the ice box in the tin can. Such food does not of necessity develop a poisonous product, as has sometimes been claimed, but oxides show that poisoning particularly liable to develop in such cases. Paint Remover. Women who are hovering around household furniture with pots of paint during these summer days will be glad of the information that common salt, combined with brown soap and hot water, will remove the paint from their fingers after their task of touching up scratched corners is finished. Enamel paint, if not got off immediately, leaves on the hands a heavy degrade that from white turns a pale gray blue, and will resist even turpentine and ammonia. The salt should be used before the paint dries and its use should not be stained. **Good Way to Use Cold Bold Fish.** Boll three medium sized potatoes. Chop them and fry them with half an onion, or one very small, in as little butter as possible to use. Remove skin and bones from boiled fish, separate it into small pieces and mix with the fried potatoes. Molten with half a cup of white sauce if you have it, if not, use milk. Season with pepper and serve it in two well beaten eggs and mix thoroughly. Garnish with parsley and serve very hot. Tongue Sandwiches Chop cold boiled tongue very fine; mix with sauce tartare and use to spread any variety of bread prepared for sandwiches. Chicken may be mixed with the tongue. Boston brown bread or blain white bread are both good for this purpose. If sauce tartare be not available, use chopped capers, olives, cucumber pickles (mustard pickles at discretion), onions and parsley with the tongue, and moisten with creamed butter. Liberty Cake. Beat yolks of two eggs and one-half cup milk. Beat the white stiff and add to them one cup sugar, three teaspoons butter, one teaspoon lemon extract, one cup flour, one teaspoon baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt. Beat well and bake in shallow pan. Raisins or coconut may be added. If coconut is added it makes it very nice. When Making Scults It is an impossibility to successfully wash quilts without having the cotton filling become matted and lumpy. If the cotton batting is covered with cheesecloth and tied before the final covering is knotted over the cotton, the latter may be removed at any time and the cotton is replaced and knotted, making the quilt perfectly new again. An. Astringent Hair Lotion. When the hair is falling out by the roots, as the saying is, an astringent lotion will be found very beneficial. This may be composed of ten ounces of witch hazel and one drachm of tannic acid; shake well together and strain. It is then ready for use, and may be applied to the roots of the hair, rubbing in well with the finger tips. Mincemeat Three pounds of raisins (stoned), three pounds currants, four pounds apples (chopped fine), three pounds suet, one-half pound blanched almonds, grapes, graped rind and fuji of six lemons, one pound of salt, one little salt, one nutmeg. Chop all together very fine, throwing the currants in last. Very good. 3,000 MILES IN BOAT TWO OLD MEN END LONG VOYAGE IN MILWAUKEE. Both Over Twenty Years of Age. They Build Own Craft and Cruise for Almost a Year-Rastad. Montana. Milwaukee, Wis.-George G. and L. W. Smith, brothers of former Alderman Henry Smith, who started in their houseboat, the It, from Fort Benton, Mont., on July 27, 1911, have tipped in Milwaukee. The younger brother has just celebrated his seventieth birthday, and the other is in his eightth year. On their houseboat, which they built themselves, and which they were able to construct so well because of their long experience as millwrights, they have covered a little more than 3,000 miles. "We have enjoyed every minute of our trip," said George G. Smith, the older of the brothers, "although the time we spent in some pretty tight places, but we will be glad of a little chance to rest before we undertake another journey of that kind. My brother and I were in Seattle about a year ago, when we thought of undertaking this journey. "We decided to start from Fort Bennett, the head of navigation of the Missouri river, and we went there in May, 1911, and started building our boat. It was finished about the middle of July, and on July 27 we started building our boat. We visited the Missouri river we experienced considerable difficulty with sandbars and rafts. In fact, throughout our entire journey there was only one day during which we were not grounded at least once. At one place in the river we had to drop our boat for fifty or sixty feet, and in many places we had to get out and push the boat off from stones in rapids. Since the journey was primarily undertaken as a sightseeing trip, we have traveled entirely in the daytime. We have taken as much time as we pleased, often stay ing in one town as long as three weeks, we have taken as much of our interest to meet the trip, and we have kept a log of our journey from day to day. "We passed through some wild and beautiful country in the Bad Lands of North Dakota and Montana, and while there got some of my best pictures. All of the trip was well worth taking again." "My brother has been the cook and pilot and I have taken care of the engine," said L. W. Smith, the younger brother. "We have fished and hunted all along our journey, always keeping within the bounds of what meat and fish we needed. Through Montana and North and South Dakota we had many chances to shoot big game, but since we would have no use what we wanted, we had no advantage of our opportunities in this line. Many times along the upper Missouri, when we were tied up to the river bank for the night, coyotes and timber wolves would howl at the windows of our cabin, and we saw many deer and antelope within easy shooting distance. "We had originally intended to travel down the Missouri to the Mississippi and from there to the Gulf of Mexico, but we decided to change our plans. We came up the Illinois river to take the boat and made the rest of the journey on Lake Michigan. We were forced to stop in Kenosha for two days on account of the rough water on the lake, and we were again laid up in Racine for repairs to our engine. In fact, during our entire trip our engine has been broken and has caused us a great deal of trouble and lost us considerable time." KING WORE HAT 16 YEARS Gave it to His Valet Once and Then Took it Back Again. Cettinje, Montenegro. — Nicholas, king of the smallest realm in Europe, is accused of loving money too well. Three of his ministers, Gattallo, Jurieviez and Jovanovicz, complain that he is so stingy he refused to go to Moscow because the Czar did not give him all the money he recently收 for. The gets $200,000 a year from Russia and $100,000 from Austria. "And yet," say his ministers, "we never know what he does with the money, for he cannot be induced to render an account. He certainly does not spend it on his clothes." When his beautiful Helen married Italy's king sixteen years ago Nicholas bought a silk hat, which he wore until this summer, bringing it out on his many visits at foreign courts. Beeing it very looky, he gave to his mother a silk hat. Savv gave had married and went to great with great pride. The other day the king saw him wearing the hat and asked him where he got it. "Your majesty gave it me," was the answer. "What? I gave you such a nice hat? How could I have been so foolish? Give it back to me at once. I will save my getting a new one when I go to Vienna in the autumn." The poor valet protested that he paid the equivalent of ten cents to have it ironed in Belgrade. Nicholas pulled out the money. "Here," he said, "I will pay your expenses in connection with the hat. Now hand it back to me!" And Sava had to obey. Women Smoker Causes To Woman Smoker - CLUBS TANK Boston...

Kansas City, Mo.—A woman who sold her hair a few weeks ago for the family support obtained a state warrant for the arrest of her husband by removing her hat in the prosecuting attorney's office, showing the hair closely cropped from the top of the head. A moment before the woman, Mrs. Monroe Burch 8323 Berry avenue, had been refused a warrant by E. J. Curtin, acting warrant officer. With her little boy, Mrs. Burch had taken a seat before the assistant's desk. Her husband, a carpenter, had left her, she said. And he had made little effort to support the family of three for several months. "It is against the policy of the offie to issue a warrant so soon after the husband has left, a result of a quarrel." Mr. Curtin explained, "Your husband may return in a few days." Mrs. Burch started to the door. She hesitated, turned and removed her hat. "That was one of my sacrifices," she said. "I do not think my husband sought work as he should. Two weeks ago we were hungry at our home. I had begun to look for washing to do, but we needed food. I went to a woman's house and found Twentieth street and Indiana avenue. My hair had often been admired. The shop woman offered me 60 cents an ounce. I let her clip four ounces. "A week later I asked my husband for 80 cents to pay the milkman. He had been drinking and exclaimed angrily that I should have paid the milk bill out of the hair money. I told him two dollars would not last so long, but he started a violent quarrel. He took a stove poker and did some damage to the house before he let "pen." He was writing an information for a warrant from the justice court of Charles Clark. The "office policy" had been forgotten. YOUTH'S PAST LIFE A BLANK Assistant Gunner on Training Bhip is Afflicted With a Strange Bung San Mateo, Cal.-One of the strangest cases that the surgeons in the mamarine hospital service ever have met with is that of Horace Walling, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Wailing of San Mateo, who was stricken with a mysterious malady while with the United States trailingship Nashville in San Domingo bay, Hatti, and posed in the naval hospital at Port-au-Prince after offering from a complete loss of memory. One day, while the Nashville was in port at San Domingo, Walling, assistant gunner on the training ship, went ashore alone. Half an hour later he was brought back to the ship in a dazed condition, unable to speak, hear or walk. At first the surgeons were inlined to believe that he had been drugged by the natives, but as his condition remained the same, that theory was abandoned. An examination failed and the surgeons were unable to and no brushes of any kind were found on his head or body. It was four weeks before Walling regained his speech and hearing and was able to walk, but he was as helpless as a small child. He could neither read nor write and he recognized none of his former companions. With painting care and training the physicians began to teach their patient to read, write and walk, and the progress was so rapidly that in a month he had regained all past book learnings. Walling is now normal in every respect, except that his mind is a blank to as all persons, places or events that took place before his illness. He can not recall his home, family or friends. H. H. Walling, the boy's father is a merchant of San Francisco. Too Lazy to Live. Paris—M. and Mme. Bouzer and their daughter, Madeleine, twenty-five years old, were found dead in their flat, in the Rue Albue, the other morning. They took their lives because they did not think them worth living. They were all "cranks," and when the daughter preached Mr. Macdonald Hastings' theory that death was sometimes a duty, the parents allowed themselves to be persuaded. Mme. Bouzer wrote a number of letters, which were found on the dining-room table. In all of them she explained that she, her husband, and her daughter were killed because their lease to the flat had run out and they did not want the trouble of moving. Machines Kill Birds Ellensburg, Wash.—Fully 60 per cent. of the annual hatch of the Chinese pheasants have been killed this year during the hating season, rancher's report. Hay putting time is the time for the birds to nest, and when the mowers and rakes pass over the fields the eggs are broken or the young birds are accidentally run over or trampled by the horses. Most of the farmers exercise much caution and try to protect the birds.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our skin is a beautiful skin, and the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease persons coming in contact with them.

A: M. POPE-TURNBOR PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO", it will continue to be, only the scalp albeit be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.
