HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN "About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh ■would burn and itch dreadfully. When my hands first started to get eore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They itched ■dreadfully, it just semed as though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me very much, as I had never had any thing the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my 1 •employment. "My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But it ; kept getting worse. One day I saw a piece in one of the papers about a j lady who had had the same trouble ; with her hands. She had used Cuticura I Soap and Ointment and was cured. I ] ■decided to try them, and my hands j were all healed before I used one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of j Cuticura Ointment. I am truly thank- j ful for the good results from the Cuti- ! cura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them I was cured, and did not have ' to lose a day from work. I have had no return of the skin trouble." ] (Signed) Mrs. Mary E. Breig, 252.3 Brown Street, Philadelphia, Pa., Jfrn. 12, 1911.

She had started out from the hotel to do some shopping, but de cided instead to make a tour of the city on a jaunting car. Arriving at the first car stand, and having se lected the smartest looking vehicle, she told the driver that she "wanted j to engage him for the day." Pat, never backward in paying homage to ■beauty, earnestly replied: "Begorra, ma'am, you are welcome. I only wish tt was for life!" The Heights of Song.

TRICK BUILDING, PITTSBURG ANNUAL OUTPUT 10,000,000 BARRELS EXCELLENT VENTILATION OF STABLES OF ORDINARY SIZE i Most Satisfactory System Is Described and Illustrated—No Plan Tbat Will Automatically Meet All Conditions of Wind and Weather The Cause of Corrosion of Metal Frames. " • - Jtcr/av ~ ' 1 ' 1 " |+ ~^,ll:=:==:=: IV i' j HB=M , ■ i H, V Plan of Stable Showing Method of Ventilation—A, Inlets between ceil ing joists; B, Inlets on hay floor; C.Window inlets; D, Side section of double stall and exhaust flue; E, Back view, same; F, Exhaust flue and side connection; I, I, I, Location of passage inlets. For stables of ordinary width, the I common and most satisfactory form of fresh air inlet is a sash at each ; stall hinged at the botton, opening j inward, but with galvanized iron pieces attached to the sides of the window frame, so that the only air admitted has to take an upward course over the top of the sash, writes George F. Weston in the Coun try Gentleman. This prevents direct drafts. A piece of chain stapled to the top of the frame, with a beheaded wire nail projecting from the top of the sash, allows the window to be opened any number of links. The free edges of the metal side plates are turned upward so as to make a stop that prevents the windows from fall ing open too wide. There is no system of ventilation that will automatically meet all con ditions of wind and weather, which at times will call for the closing of j all windows to windward, and opening | of those on the sheltered side a mere ; crack. In winter when the horses j come in hot, and, in the case of work horses, cannot be rubbed quite dry, it will often save colds to keep every thing tight until they are dry and have cooled off. The stable shown in the illustration is an extra wide one, and to secure snfflciertt fresh air in lets for the central double row of horses, it may be necessary to make ducts from the outside to the open ings in the ceiling over the center of each passage, about 14 by 20 inches, and marked I, I, 1 in the plan. These can be closed by a board, with pin sliding on bottom of inside. The eas iest way to make these ducts is to en close between two ceiling joists, or if this cannot be done, make as at B on hay floor above. The exhaust flues for a stable of this design should be three in num ber, about two feet six inches by one foot six inches, extending from bottom of manger clear to the roof. Each one connects with lateral flues below manger, so as to tap eight stalls, and the openings to each stall should increase in size as they leave j the main flue, and be screened with half-inch wire netting to keep out rats. All main exhaust flues in a sta ble should also have two or the oppo site sides made with a door just below the ceiling, and two feet down, so that this can be opened up against the ceiling and take out all hot air in summer. Frequently the hay chutes can be so arranged as to serve also for exhaust flues by having a tight fitting door at the haj floor, which is only opened for feeding. They can be of galvanized iron as far up as the ceiling of stable, out in such a climate as Canada, the upper space !s much lower in temperature, DISEASES OF HORSE LOCATED The location of some diseases of ths horse is shown in the illustration here with, which is taken from the North west Homstead: 1, Poll evil; 2, swelling by bridle pressure; 3, inflamed parotid gland; 4. inflamed Jugular vein; 5, caries of the lower jaw; G, fistula of parotid duct; 7, bony excrescence; 8, fistula of withers; 3, 6addle gall; 10, tumor should be of wood, and it may even pay to cover with a couple of layers of heavy building paper. It is well to remember that ven tilating flues only work when their air contents are at a higher temper ature than the outside air. This means that the air is expanded and is of lesser weight than an equal column of the colder outside air. Finally there must be a material difference in tem perature, for the stable air is loaded with moisture and products of ani mal combustion. There have been cases in northern winters of the metal flues being almost entirely stopped by condensed moisture deposited as ice on the inside top end. The best re sults are secured from many small in lets, instead of the few larger ones, ! especially as to prevention of injuri ous drafts. Moisture condensed during cold ! weather is the cause of the corrosion of metal frames, and we suggest giv j ing them a couple of coats of as phaltum paint over the interior sur- j face, especially on the sash bars, i When of metal the expansion of these I is so much greater than of the glass i that it is impossible to get a perfect j seal or seat between these and the I glass, and as a result there have been ! put on the market many special forms of metal sash to remedy the trou ble of drip from condensed moisture. Under some conditions, cypress bars may be more durable than iron. TO DESTROY ~~ GROUND HOGS May be Poisoned With Wheal Soaked In u Solution o £ Strychnine —Also Easy to Trap Them. my WALTER H. LEUTZ.) Ground hogs may be poisoned with j wheat soaked in a solution of strych- J nine, but they can easily be trapped ; lat the entrance of their burrows. A j better way is to soak a bit of moss or J hay with bisulphate of carbon and i place it well down into the burrow ; covering the entrance with a heavy ! cloth. The carbon being heavier than ! air it penetrates to the bottom of the j burrow and kills the animals In- j stantly. Great care in handling j bisulphate of carbon must be observed j because it is a deadly poison and ] must never he inhaled.

In 1908 over $135,000 was realized from the sale; in 1909, nearly $225,000, and in 1910 nearly $310,000. T he slogan for this year's sale is "A Million for Tuber culosis from Bed Cross Seals." New York state led the sale last year with 5,955,872 seals, Ohio coming next with 3,743,427, and Wisconsin third with 2.770,112. In addition to these, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachu setts, Connecticut, California and Bhode Island sold over a million each. Nashville, Tenn., selling 200,000, was the only city receiving over 100,000 seals which sold every one of them. FOUND RIGHT PATH After a False Start. "In 1890 I began to drink coffee. "At that time I was healthy and en- Joyed life. At first I noticed no bad effects from the indulgence but in course of time found that various troubles were coming upon me. "Palpitation of the heart took unto itself sick and nervous headaches, kid ney troubles followed and eventually my stomach became so deranged that even a light meal caused me serious distress. "Our physician's prescriptions failed to help me and then I dosed myself with patent medicines till I was thor oughly disgusted and hopeless. "Finally I began to suspect that cof fee was the cause of my troubles. I ex perimented by leaving it off, except for one small cup at breakfast. This helped some but did not altogether re lieve my distress. It satisfied me, however, that I was on the right track. "So I gave up coffee altogether and began to use Postum. In ten days I found myself greatly improved, my nerves steady, my head clear, my kid neys working better and better, my heart's action rapidly improving, my appetite improved and the ability to eat a hearty meal without subsequent suffering restored to me. And this con dition remains. "Leaving off coffee and using Postum did this, with no help from drugs, as 1 abandoned the use of medicines when 112 began to use the food drink."
