Especially is this notieeable when cultivation is done alter heavy rains. The surface soil is stirred, a mulch made and evaporation reduced as a result. Land cultivatedtoo well is apt to be injured as well as the preesnt crop. If the soil is too dry much of the ef- efcts of cultivation will be lost.

For that reason a cultivated crop is grown to save time, Il will require very IittIe extra Iabor to culelvate a crop of beans or beets and the trees at the same time. It is better to have crops that will need thorough cultivation than those which geed but little attention. " C)•eps which require late cultivation sheeld not be planted, as late summer work In the orchard is very obejction- able, ea thorough cultivation makes fresh food available for the tree at 'the time when it should he hardening`' dawn' for the winter. The buds must have an, opportunity of preparing llemeelves for the winter, and the kw wood formed during the year must harden, for a frost will kill it.

School Children Traffic Safety les Ra Fourteen oommun sense rules have been laid down in a traffic safety slues- tionaire to be used as the basis of teaching school children traffic safety methods in Akron, Obio. The plan is built around a course in a campaign arranged by the Akron Automobile club, the director of public safety and the Akron executive ot the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts are asked to study the rules and are given an examinee tion,before their scout master. A scout credential card signed by the scout master and countersigned by 0. W. Baum, director of public safety; Sec- retary Grover Reese,' of the Akron Automobile club, and Joseph W. Tay- lor, scout executive, is presented to the boys who pass. After their train- ing, It becomes the duty of the Boy Scouts to watch for violation of these rules by other scuool children, and warn them of the necessity of public safety. After a scout half• called the attention of eight children to viola- tions oe the rules he is entitled to a medallion for public service. Tills is a plan that could be adopted everywhere with the best of results. It could be used by schools, motorists and pedestrians with excellent re- sults as throughout the • questionairo points toward traffic safety methods.

Its food value is almost the same as that of the whole corn, and in the pioneer days it was made at home by pounding the corn and it was eaten then, as we eat potatoes to -day. This is still true in the South to some extent and pale -tette house- wives should make a study of just how it may be prepared and served to the best advantage. Hominy to be at its best requires a longer period of cooking than is ne- cessary for corn meal, because it is much coarser and the fireless cooker or the upper part of the double boiler are the ideal utensils for cooking it. When properly cooked, the grains should each be distinct ct in far m --a gummy mass is often the result of to much water and a hard grain le the result of too small an amout of water. IIOW TO DO IT, "Property cooked," in the case of hominy means care and "know how." Put one euptui of cereal in the upper part ,of the double boiler wtth one tea- spoonful of salt and add three cupfuls of (boiling water. -Cook rapidly, dir- ectly over the fire eight or ten min- utes, stirring frequently with a fork, so that it will not luthp; then place over hot water and cook for 50 min- utes. If -the hominy becomes too dry, add a little hot skim milk. The addi- tion of a little milk and a small piece of oleo gives a very rich flavor to the cereal, which it does not have when cooked with water only. WITIH TOMATO SAUCE,. There are many ways of serving hominy and some of them are very at- tractive. Served an a vegetable with the addition of a little thick tomato sauce and a sprinkling of grated cheese it is excellent. MToldea with chopped figs or dates, then sliced and fried, it gives a simple dessert, that is as good as it is inexpensive. In the following tested formulas will be found recipes which will give variety to the summer menus and at the same time help to conserve the wheat supply. Remember that just now our slogan must be: "Every lit- tle bit helps." IHOMINY' C.

CIJRi*NG SKIN TROUBLES Sam any people, both men and wo- men, suffer from skin troubles, such as eczema, blotches, pimples and irri- tation that a word of advice is nieces.- sary, It is a great mistake for such sufferers and those with bacl complex- ions to smear themselves with greasy ointments. Often they could not do anything worse, for the, grease clogs - the pores of the troubled skin and their condition actually becomes worse. When there are pimples or erup'• tions, or anirrttating or itching raeh, a soothing boracic solution may help to allay the irritation, but of course that does not cure the trouble. Skin complaints come from an impure con- dition of the blood and will persist until the blood is thoroughly purified, It is well known that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have effected the best re - cults in many forms of skin disorders and blemishes. This is due to the fact that these pilin make new, rich blood, and that this new blood attacks the impurities that give rise to skin troubles and diaperces them; so that Dr Williams' Pink Pills cure skin disorders from within the, system - the only stare way It should ho added that Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have a beneficial effect upon the general health. They increase the appetite and energy and cure diseases that arise from impure blood. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine ,Co., Brock- ville, rock• vllOnt. e, MEDICAL SCIECE HAY -FEVER, The symptoms are very definite; sneezing fits accompanied by watering at the eyes and nose, and acute die- com:tort end const;ltuticnal disturb- ance, are those most usually com- plained of. It hds been found by repeated experiment that it is not the mere mechanical irritation produced by the pollen graina which gives rico to all these, phenomena, but that there is a true poisonous property in the pollen itself which is an essential factor in. the causation of the disease. And, it is not pollen of grasser alone that has this quality. The pollen of many other plants -notably of roses -has the same effect oa certain peo- ple, whilst there is an irritation qual- ity in the smell et horses. which makes some particularly susceptible Persons unable to drive behind them. In a typical hay -fever patient it easy to prove that the irritation of the pollen grains is the cause of the attack, as the direct experimental ap- plication of a speck or two of the, Pollen to the mucous membrane Of the nose or to' the eye -surface will bring on a typical attack of the dis- ease. Cocaine, which can be appliedr locally to de,:reaso the surface sensi- tiveness, will, too, often give tempor- ary relief. So clear is the direct cause of the conditions that one of the au- thorized means of reducing its vfo- lenco is the slight cauterization of the most sensitive spots on the mucous membrane. This cauterization does not, however, give immunity for more than a single season, and should, if permanent good is to result, be re- peated as a precautionary measure every year. Though the, discomfort of tilde proceeding may be very dis- agreeable. there are few real sufferers from hay -fever who would not gladly. 0 RAISES 609 C!IIFJKENS After Being Relieved of Or- ganic Trouble by Lydia E. ?inkhafrl's Vegetable Compound.

Thid unpleasant skin disease, which is of fairly common occurrence, begins with an eruption of very small scaly epots appearing on a slightly reddened are,., generally affecting the knees and elbows. These paints of spots increase until they form scaly patches, which may spread widely over the body. The disease is a chronic sue, and persons once attacked by it are always liable to a relapse. It may occur at any age, but it is ram after fifty. Children of two or three have been known to be attacked, and sus- ceptibility does not seem to be con- fined to any particular class, or to persons engaged in any epecial Indus- tvy. The actual cause of the disease is atilt unknown, Research, observation and experience have only resulted in various theories. all of which are open to doubt. Some doctors believe th .t it is associated with gouty ten - deities; -others that it is due to the action of a parasite taken in food; and still others that it is of nervous origin, the last being the theory most popularly supported, the assumption neing that there ie some, lack of vital- ity in the nerve Centres regulating the nourishment of the skin. This theory:'is strengthened by the fact that the disease may be, brought on by shock or worry, and -that it often occurs an neurotic patients. It is not contagious, but there is some evidence that it is hereditary. The general health is hardly at all affected by its pretsence, although it may acoompany a condition which itself is unhealthy. In some cases, particularly those occurring in alert- toile - le m - toile- or meat -eating subjects, there is a, good deal of itching, especially during the spread of the eruption. There, is nothing to account for the extent er the intensity of the disease, or its recurrence, and treatment is therefore most difficult. Sometimes DRS. SOPER 15: WHITE SPE-CIALISTS Plies, Eczema.
