To Make Fruit Jar Rubbers La3t.
To have fruit jar rubbers last, kfeep
them well covered ii. a jar full of flour
until used, and as soon as removed
from empty jars. One can then afford
a good quality of rubbers, as kept
thus they will safely last several sea
sons. When there is doubt of old
rubbers, they may often be made to
eke out one more season by using two
of the rubbers to each jar and screw
ing down tight. Always stand newly
filled Jars upside down until cool, to
test the tops and rubbers.—Designer.
Snakes in Prohibition Maine.
Snakes emptied two saloons in Port
land of the crowds of customers a few
evenings ago. A non-resident ordered
a box of snakes sent to him from the
south for the purpose of cleaning out
a vast number of rats from his place.
The snakes were given a chance to
demonstrate their rat killing ability
and the large snake destroyed 15 in
a few minutes. The snakes were then
taken to two different saloons and in
a few minutes cleared them of the
crowd.—Kennebec Journal.
WRONG SORT
Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and
Bread May Be Against You
for a Time.
A change to the right kind of food
can lift one from a sick bed. A lady
in Welden, 111., says:
"Last spring I became bed-fast with
severe stomach troubles accompanied
by sick headache. I got worse and
worse until I became so low I could
B; arcely main any food at all, al
though I tried about every kind.
"I had become completely discour
sed, and given up all hope, and
thought I was doomed to starve to
death, until one day my husband, try
ing to find something I could retain,
brought home some Grape-Nuts.
"To my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress. I began to gain strength
at once. My flesh (which had been
flabby), grew firmer, my health im
proved in every way and every day,
and in a very few weeks I gained 20
pounds in weight.
"I liked Grape-Nuts so well that for
four months I ate no other food, and
always felt as well satisfied after eat
ing as if I had sat down to a fine ban
quet.
"I had no return of the miserable
sick stomach nor of the headaches,
that I used to have when I ate other
food. lam now a well woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that
life is worth living.
"Grape-Nuts food has been a God
send to my family; it surely saved my
life; and my two little boys have
thriven on it wonderfully." Name

DEMAND FOR ARMY HORSES

Excellent Type of Army Horse. .
(By CAPTAIN A. H. WADDELL.)
Although there Is no great war go
ing on at the present moment there
never has been a time when army
horses are so much needed as they are
at present, for notwithstanding
Hagues tribunals, Carnegie peace
funds, and an apparently general de
sire for arbitration and the peaceful
settlement of International dispatch
ers every great and military nation of
the world is increasing its armament
both on land and at sea, the great
martial nations of the world are noth
ing more nor less than armed camps.
Foreign governments are well aware
that horses cannot now be had by the
mere purchase of them in numbers
anything like sufficient to supply their
demands, indeed the scarcity of army
material in the shape of horse flesh Is
not to be had in anything like ap
proaching the numbers required.
The United States has spent an av-.
erage of $30,000 a year on cavalry
horses. France has noted $1,500,000
and Germany $950,000 to horse breed
ing. In England they spend something
over $20,000 a year for breeding horses,
many of which are at once marked
down by foreign buyers, and the short
age of horses bred in this country
during the last three years amounts to
something like 30,000 and in spite of
the huge proportions of their army
estimates, the remount department.
An additional 30,000 horses are need
ed to reach the minimum of riding
horses immediately required for that
army to say nothing of artillery and
Grausport animals.
The scarcity of horses in the British
army is appalling, the breeding of suit
able horses in England sinks progres
sively and official condemnation of ex
isting methods of a new organization
have disturbed the horse societies and
the industry in general. Farmers,
who must be the natural agents in
breeding horses are out of touch with
the war office, and are giving up what
might be a sound and fairly lucrative
part of their business.
Such facts as these ought to open
the eyes of alert America whose fa
cilities for stock raising are unlimited.
All the peace congresses In the world
will never prevent war, nor will wars
ever cease until man has assumed a
far higher plane and a far higher civil
ization than he enjoys today. The
struggle for existence and the survival
of the fittest will be in evidence for
many thousands of years to come, and
it will only be after the refining in
fluence of progressive evolution has
been slowly operating towards im
provement for ages, that man will be
GUERNSEY IS GREAT MILKER
The first official record of Imported
Guernseys occurred in 1833, when a
sea captain while stopping at the is
land, bought a pair and sent them to
his brother In New Hampshire. Since
then their growth in popular favor has
been steady, the improvement of the
breed, along scientific lines, has been
pronounced and it has resulted in one
of the greatest of dairy breeds.
The New England states have re
mained the center of the Guernsey
Industry and proud of the fine, record
breaking herds which they have lm-
able to live peacefully with bis neigh
bor "\d without wanting to rob him
oft. Nch is his or measure words
with v to see who shall claim some
coveted territory, as his own.
Yes, wars will goon, and horses
will be required more than, ever al
though peace rest upon the greater
part of the world today. Since racing
laws have come Into effect In various
parts of the country and so much
thoroughbred stock has been, and is
still be sold and widely dispersed and
there are still many horses of this
class for sale, there has never been a
more opportune time for the far sight
ed American to gather in the best
stamp of thoroughbred stallions and
the best class of brood mares for the
purpose of breeding » good standard
of army horse to supply the enormous
armies of the great military nations
of the world, to say nothing of the
United States army Itself.
Artillery, cavalry and mounted in
fantry, are now the arms of the serv
ice upon which the outcome of a cam
paign depends, and this force to be
effective must be horsed in such a
way as to leave no possible doubt as
to the standard. It must be as fast
as it is possible to make it, always in
condition, trained to the hour, and "fit
togo," at a moment's notice.
The makings of such horses as
these would always be on hand for
the great armies of the earth of the
large ranch owners If the rolling west
would start in and breed a class of
horse that would meet their demands.
Too Many Rooster*.
Do not keep too many male birds
as they are not needed for breeders
and are a constant expense. Hens lay
as well or better without them and
the eggs keep longer, are better for
storage and private customers.
Twenty hens, the best you have,
mated to two good males will produce
enough eggs for almost any farmer to
set. Even fanciers could sometimes
make more by caponizing the inferior
cockerels than by keeping them late
and selling them at a small price.
German Sauaage.
Sausage in Germany is made of
chopped meat and fat, liver, lung,
heart, brain, rind of bacon, often with
the addition of spices, salt, saltpeter,
grits, bread crumbs, rice, raisins, etc.,
filled in intestines, stomachs and blad
ders. Most sausage is'made of pork,
although beef, horse and mule meat,
mutton, goose and game liver, and
sometimes even fowls, flsh and crabs
are used.
v
proved, these people have protected,
this breed with jealous care, indiviti
ually and as clubs, the American
Guernsey cattle association being well
known throughout the Upited States
b; cattle breeders. In fact the great
est Guernseys of the world, "Missy of
the Mist" and "Dolly Dimple," with
whose remarkable performances every
breeder is familiar, are owned by
members of this club. Of the two
"Dolly Dimple" is at the .head, her
butter record being 1,058 pounds,
.missy's record is 1 iIOO pounds.
Banishment
fo
Suddenly the fluffy haired blonde
giggled, quite without reference to re
marks made by anyone or to the mar
quisette blouse upon Which she was
embroidering ah elaborate design.
The other members of the sewing cir
cle looked up Inquiringly.
"Well? demanded young Mrs. Alli
son, suspiciously. "Has anyone said
something funny or is it last week's
joke taking root?"
The fluffy haired blonde nodded em
phatically. "How clever you are. Ce
leste!" she said. "That's it, exactly.
I was terribly annoyed at the time,
but all of a sudden just now I saw
hew funny It was."
"'lt!' repeated young Mrs. Allison,
with growing Scorn. 'lt!' Try to be
coherent, my love. We are waiting
to advise you on the subject."
"Well," said the fluffy haired blonde,
with another giggle, "you know my
little brother—"
"The proverbial small boy," mur
mured young Mrß. Allison, with a
groan.
"L'enfant terrible," putin the girl
who affected French quotations.
The fluffy haired blonde scowled at
them both, impartially. "Just a plain
little brother," she corrected, with
sternness. "His name is Edward and
most of you know him perfectly well.
Now, am I telhng this story or am I
not?"
The girl who affected French quo
tations retired to her fancy work with
offended dignity, but young Mrs. Alli
son beamed with visible joy at hav
ing a drawn heated retort. "Goon,
dear," she urged, sweetly. "We love
to hear you prattle of your Innocent
baby brother."
The fluffy haired blonde smiled in'
turn. "Baby brother is going into
long trousers before school opens in
the fall," she informed them. "As for
his being innocent —oh, well, it wasn't
his fault this time, anyway.
"You know,*' she went on,"he has a
big yellow brute of a cat he calls
Saunders, though I'm sure I don't
know why—"
"I do," said young Mrs. Allison. She
nodded around the sewing circle,
meaningly. "We lived in the same
block with Saunders for a year. He's I
canny, let me tell you. I know that
cat personally. He used to lick the
tops of my cream bottles of a morn- j
ing—never the milk bottles. But I
didn't argue the matter with him, be- ;
cause I was always too much awed by
his apparent contempt for the whole 1
human race. When he walked down
the back steps and went over the ;
fence the very flip Of his tail was elo- j
quent of his low opinion of the quality
of my cream. Moreover, I was forced
to agree with him," she added.
"Well," said the fluffy haired blonde,
gravely, "1 believe you're right. Saun- !
ders is not—um—open to argument, j
but he scorns deception and he's !
shrewd. He eats our neighbor's
squabs by the dozen, but he eats
them in broad daylight, when the
neighbor hesitates to wring his neck,
as I should. But Edward loves him
with a positively touching devotion
and has him in the library every eve
ning at study time.
"Night before last, however, the j
Desseltons were dining with us, and
both Mrs. Desselton and Ernestine '
are mortally afraid of cats. Ernestine ;
6hrieks if one comes into the room ;
and Mrs. Desselton likes one about as
much as you like a snake. So Ed
ward's little playmate was putin the
garage and the garage door supposed
ly was shut. Very likely it was really
shut, too, for there are a score of con
venient cracks around the floor and
the windows which an enterprising
cat can get through, though Edward
maintains learnedly that no feline will
attempt to escape through any hole
where his whiskers touch.
"Anyway, we had all gone into the
library after a comfortable dinner and j
father was entertaining us with the j
hopes of his summer fishing trip. 1
Mother had just gone upstairs to get j
a picture to show Mrs. Desselton, !
when the bell rang and the maid j
brought me a card. It was Mr. S.
Bennington Saunders, who has come
here from the east to live, you know.
"I slipped through the drawing
room to meet htm and bring him in j
for an introduction, and just as I got
half way in and he was approaching
with a bland smile and an out- I
stretched hand I heard mother's re- j
turning step on the stair and mother's \
horrific voice from the landing.
"'Edward!' she cried. 'Edward' ;
Saunders has got in. Come and put |
him out at once. Hurry, I tell you!'"
The fluffy haired blonde laughed
ruefully. "Edward came," she said.
"For myself, I had only time to gasp
once.
"There before me stood S. Benning
ton Saunders, with one hand out
stretched, but paralyzed with dismay.
His face turned from a sickly white
to a fiery red while I was struggling
to find my voice. Finally, without a
word, he dropped his arm and walked
into the hall.
"Then I came to and rushed after
him. 'Don't go!' I entreated. 'Oh,
don't go, Mr. Saunders. It's —it's not
you, you know. It's Saunders—er—
the cat.'
"I held out my hand this time and
he shook it hesitatingly. Then, as the
truth dawned upon him, he grinned
nobly.
" 'But, I sar,' he protested, as I led
him toward rhe family, 'I say, you
know, you do have the most extraor
dinary name for your pet.' "

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA
"A few days after birth wo noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
bis eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced It chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment.
"Not until I commenced using Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and I had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
"Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at hin he
was such a pitiful sight. He <1
I fuss until I would treat him,
semed to relieve him so much. Cu
cura Soap and Ointment stand b,
themselves and the result they quick
! ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
i Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa., Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept.
