Hod Cuuse For Complaint.
A big, able-bodied man of about
middle age shuffled Into the poor law
guardian's office and curtly bade the
oterk good morning.
"Wot d'yer mean," he began, "by
knockln' ort poor Wldder Snagg's
parish pay? She's a 'onest, 'ard
workin' woman, whose nose Is In the
washtub all day, an' It's a wicked
shame to rob'er of 'er lorful rights."
The clerk took down a big ledger
and silently consulted It.
"Mrs. Snugg was married again,"
he said, "and the guardians have de
cided that she Is no longer entitled to
outdoor relief; and, In any event, my
man," he added sharply, "I should
like to know If the matter is any
concern of yours?"
"Concern of mine!" the man re
peated. "Well, I should rather think
so, guv'nor. If you stops the ole
lady's pay you stops my dally ounce
o' shag an quart o' beer, too! I'm

Boy Tortured by Krzcr.ia.
"When my boy was six years old, ba
suffered terribly with eczema, lie
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would Irritate spots by scratching
with bis nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started In a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until It very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
"Finally I got Cutlcura Soap, Cutl
cura Ointment and Cutlcura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed,
I used them again and the Improve
ment even in those few hour: was sur
prising, the inflammation seemed to
be so much less. I used two boxes of
Cutlcura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cored. My son Is now In his sev
enteenth year and he has pever hud a
return of the eczema.
"I took care of a friend's child that
bad eczema on Ha face and '(nibs and
- used the Cutlcura Soap and Oint
ment. They acted on the child just as
they did on my son and It has never
retained. 1 would recommend the
Cntlcura Remedies to anyone. Mrs.
A. J, Cochran, 1823 Columhta Ave.,

Profits In Coin.
State College. How Just a little
more care in solecttng seea corn uuu
somewhat additional diligence In
nmrdtnii ecalnst the eroBlon caused
by more Spring showers would re
turn enormous profits to Keystone
State husbandmen were told at the
fcSBion of the State College farm
ers' Week by Prof. F. V. Gardner,
head of the department oi agronomy,
and his assistant. Prof. C. F. Bhaw.
, "At the present price of corn, to
Increase the yield in Pennsylvania
one bushel an acre would add ii,
044,000 to the pocketbooks of our
larmers," was Prof. Gardner's lnspir
ins: Introduction.
"More rational rotations and
better tillage will do it," he said.
"Under the same conditions, teu ker
ials added to each ear or corn pro
duced In our State would be worth
iu,0(,i0. Selection and breeding
will easily accomplish that.
"During the last forty years the
average relative money value of three
crops In Pennsylvania has been com
42, wheat 3,5, oats 23. The rehuive
value of corn lias increased, that of
oats decreased and that for wheat re
mained stationary. The day of cheap
corn Is post.
"The essentials of good methods
in growing corn are applicable to all
you listeners. .Doth soil and climate
should be suitable for the crop
Medium maturing varieties will give
best results In this locality. Learn
ing and helds Yellow Dent are types
of such varieties.
"Good seed ears should be 8 to
10 Inches long, and the circumfer
ence should equal three-fourths the
length. They should be 16 to 24
straight rows. The stocks should be
of moderate height, 8 to 10 feet; the
nodes short and the leaf surface rela
tively large. They should support
the ears by shanks of moderate
length and size and at a convenient
height, about 4 feet. The husks
Ehould close thoroughly over the tip
of the ear, so that it may not be In
jured by Insects, birds or rain.

Excnifiive eathig is one of our

of the human race Is attributable to
It. We grow fat because we cat

we eut too much. Rheumatism and
all other ills of the flesh come from
weHsive Indulgence In food. We
are not sure but that earthquakes
and volcanoes result from this com

plausible thesis be maintained that
the excessive eating of the inhabi
tants of one part of the earth so
alters the pressure upon Its crust
as to cause cracks and adjustments
along Its weakest lines?
It Is not surprising, therefore,
that an explanation which explains
so much Bhould also explain the pres
ent high cost of living, and ac-cord-lncly
a scientist in the Department
of Agriculture bn offered this so
