"Did you ever get a ties by tele- ' phone?” “No; what’s it like?” “It's like dreaming about something j to eat when you go to bed hungry.” ERUPTION LIKE PIMPLES Wathena, Kan.—“My child's scalp j trouble became so bad that I was ashamed to have anyone see him. His head had a solid scab on it. He also had a terrible breaking out on his face which was gradually growing worse. The eruption was like pimples which developed into sores when he scratch ed, which he did almost constantly. Baby would almost scratch himself raw. “I had used several different kinds of salve, none of them helping in the least bit. when I saw the Cuticura ad vertisement in the paper and it made me think of the good results my sister tad when she used it for her children. X had only used Cuticura Soap and | Ointment about two weeks before I j noticed that the sores were almost en tirely gone, and it must have been a month or six weeks he was troubled ‘ before I began the treatment He would get easy when I would put the Cuticura Ointment on him. Cuticura t Soap and Ointment completely cured ' him and he has a clear complexion i now." (Signed) Mrs. W. H. Hughes, j Dec. 31, 1911. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

The business man. especially, needs food in the morning that will not over load the stomach, but give mental vigor for the day. Much depends on the start a man gets each day, as to how he may ex pect to accomplish the work on hand. He can't be alert, with a heavy, fried-meat-and-potatoes breakfast re quiring a lot of vital energy in di gesting it. A Calif, business man tried to find Fome food combination that would not overload the stomach in the morning, but that would produce energy. He writes: “For years I -was unable to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain a business man with out overloading his stomach, causing indigestion and kindred ailments. “Being a very busy and also a very nervous man, I decided to give up breakfast altogether. But luckily I j was induced to try Grape-Nuts. “Since that morning I have been a I new man; can work without tiring, j my head is clear and my nerves strong i and quiet. “I find four teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts with one of sugar and a small quantity of cold milk, is delicious as the cereal part of the morning meal, and invigorates me for the day's busi ness.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

PRETTY CASE FOR RIBBONS Simple in Design and May Be Made From Remnant at Compara tively No Expense. An attractive case for holding rib bon is made of an odd-length of silk or satin or a strip of ribbon. A piece of material, flowered silk or ribbon, 12 inches long by 6 inches wide; a skein of white silk, a yard of white ribbon one-quarter inch wide, and 12 yards of narrow ribbon suitable for drawing through underclothing are re quired. Baste a narrow hem around the ma terial and fold over the lower edge to within one and one-half inches of the top. Feather-stitch the hem and di vide the turned-up portion into four equal sections with the white silk. From plain white cardboard cut four pieces to fit the sections of the ribbon case. Over these wind the ribbon and slip each into its particular section. Fold over the case and tie together with the white ribbon. To make the case more useful, at tach a bodkin and small pair of scis sors to the upper corner with more white ribbon. If you prefer to decorate the outside embroider the word "Ribbons" in white silk diagonally across the front. NEW SPRING STREET COS TUME A street gown of old rose broad cloth, with sleeveless jacket, Russian blouse style, of striped velvet trimmed with fur. Bead Embroidery. The woman who can- master the art of fastening colored beads in position to form flowers or conventional fig ures can give her summer wardrobe a touch of smartness. Bead embroid ery is used on dark silk street cos tumes to decorate girdles, sash ends, skirt panels, cellars, vests and cuffs. It is also used on chiffon and net tunics for evening frocks. A band of bead embroidery about the bottom edge of a net tunic gives it weight which insures artistic lines. SPRING SUITS OF HEAVY SILK For Dressy Gowns Brocade Silk Will Be Combined With Material of More Plainness. Heavy are among the most tempt ing offerings in this season of partic ularly alluring fabrics. The heavy lus trous failles, ottomans, bengalines. poplins and Bedford cords, in rich and beautiful colorings, promise a far greater variety than w^s possible last spring with its monotonous black, blue or taupe satin suit, repeated in wearying sameness. Another novelty which, ‘it has been predicted, would appear at the Paris openings is silk aovert cloth. For still more dressy gowns the 1 brocaded silks will be used, especially in combination with plain silks of the same shade. Brocaded silk wraps will be found with plain one-piece dresses. A plain charmeuse costume, in a shade between tan and yellow, has a loose, medium length coat of brocade. Pop lins on which a self-toned satin bro cade appears are used in combination with plain poplins of the same shade. Plain and moire poplin are also com bined. ATTRACTIVE NEW NECK BOWS Medallians That May Be Purchased Cheaply Are Mounted Upon Bow of Black Mousseline. Here are some ideas for the wom an who admires attractive neck bows, j The lace shops are selling medallions of cluny, Arabian and Irish crochet lace from 10 cents upward. Medal lions of the most expensive variety appear in the shapes of butterflies, spades, clover leaves, diamonds aud crescents. Purchase a butterfly of cluny lace and mount it upon a flat bow of pleated black moussaline. Three diamond-shaped medallions can be arranged over pleated white net, two forming a flat bow, while the third falls over the jabot. Large rectangular medallians can j be gathered through the center and j mounted upon a bow of mousseline, maline or velvet. A knot of the ma terial used for the bow forms the cen ter. It requires very little time to fashion these bows, and they are unusually inexpensive. -— VELVET A POPULAR MATERIAL 1 One Recommendation Is That It Lends Itself to a Great Deal of Variety. The velvet suit is the most conven ient costume of the moment, for it may be built cn either plain or sim ple lines, and it may allow itself a good deal of variety. Midway between these two styles may be indicated the suit which has a fairly long coat deliberately cut away in order to make the most of a stylish vest. Striped vel vet, which rather resembles corduroy in appearance, is favored among ma terials for the more dressy type of cos : tume. such as one of gray striped vel vet made with a fairly long coat fas tened in semi-Russian fashion at one j side, with a close row of crystal but tons stained with black. The revers | and collar are of velvet, the collar be ing faced with crimson and bordered with black satin. Such a coat has as a noticeable detail long and narrow j sleeves closely buttoned on the arm. Touch of White at the Neck. No matter what color one's gown is. it is always advisable to have a touch of white at the neck, whether , it be a high or a turndown collar, for j there are very few women who look ! well with a dark color against the [ face.

Then go to work and win the prize. One hundred and twenty-five Ne braska boys between the ages of ten and twenty one entered the Acre Com Growing Contest in 1912. For ty-seven of this number completed the contest and sent in their affida vits of yield at the end of the year. The yields ranged from ten bushels to one hundred and nine bushels per acre. The average yield made by the boys completing the contest was fifty eight bushels per acre. The average made by the twelve boys winning prizes in the Western Division was fifty-seven bushels per acre, and by the twelve boys in the Eastern Di vision, eighty bushels per acre. From information furnished by the boys wel find that eight grew corn on ground which had been in some leguminous crop for one or more years previous to the contest. They secured an average yield of seventy seven bushels per acre. Thirteen of the boys applied manure in the spring of 1912 and secured an average yield of sixty bushels per acre. This makes a total of twenty-one Uoys growing their corn either after a le gume or on ground to which manure had been applied, securing an average yield of sixty-six bushels per acre. Twenty-six boys did not apply m.v nure and the land they used for their corn had not the advantage of a le guminous crop in previous years. Their average yield was fifty-one bushels per acre, or fifteen bushels per acre less than was secured by the boys using farm manure or ground previously seeded to some legumi nous crop, such as alfalfa or clover. The department will conduct anoth er contest during 1913. Seven hun dred dollars in prizes will be offered by the Union Stock Yards company of South Omaha. Any boy in the state of Nebraska between the ages of ten and twenty-one is entitled to enter. No entry fee is charged. The boy must do all the work himself and must comply with all the rules of the contest. A set of these rules will be sent to anybody making request of the Agri cultural Extension Department, Uni versity Farm, Lincoln, Nebraska. Sonora Defies New Government. Washington, D.

The story is told of a man who bought a gallon of gin to take home, and by way of a label wrote his name upon a pickup card which happened to be the seven of clubs, and tied it to the handle. His son, observing the jug, quietly remarked, "That's an aw fully careless way to leave that liquor.” “Why?” "Because some one might come along with the eight of clubs and take it.” Pair Comparison. “Do you mean to say that you com pare yourself to Shakespeare?” "Why not?” inquired the manager of the Clothesline Burlesque company.
