Cannot Test Seed Corn.
State Food Commissioner Nels P.
Hansen .will carry out that portion of
the pure seed law requiring inspec
tion for impurities , but lie announces
that he has no funds to be used for
the purpose of testing seed. He ad
vises farmers to test their own seed
corn , and he gives instructions as to
how this can be done without ex
pense. His statement is as follows :
"Many requests are coming in from
over the state from seed dealers and
planters for information regarding
the seed law passed by the last legis
lature. This department is unable to
render the service necessary to estab
lish the vitality of the seed corn , and
we feel it our duty to give notice that
the farmer should test liis own seed
corn as a protection to himself. This
does not require an expensive germi-
nator , but can be done by placing the
seeds between wet blotting paners
and keeping warm for several days ,
after which the per cent of germinab'o
seeds can be determined "
Wants It Looked Into.
W. J. Ballard , a Kearney lawyer ,
has asked the state food commission
to send an inspector to that city to
file a complaint against one of the
drug stores there. He writes that the
place was recently searched for in
toxicants and that whisky was found
there labeled with such spurious titles
as "ointment. " morning glory , " "oil of
joy , " and even "poison. " Alcohol was
designated by the proprietor of the
store as being "bug medicine , " accord
ing to the letter.
.
Memorial Tablet Delayed. I
Progress on the bronze tablet which i
is to be placed in thp lobby of the
university temple in honor of E. Ben
jamin Andrews , former university
chancellor , has been delayed while the
committee is searching for a com
petent Nebraska artist to take charge
of the designing. It was hoped to
have it ready to put in place February
15. charter day , but this has been
given up and it will likely be deferred
until the commencement season in
June.
Nebraska Legislative Reunion.
The legislative reunion and bammet
which is to be held in Lincoln , Febru
ary 15. as the outgrowth of the meet
ing of former and present state law
makers held during the last state fair ,
bids fair to be one of the most notable
gatherings ever held in the state , according - i
cording to reports from those in i
charge. j
Farmers of Nebraska are in favor i
of the establishment of a parcels post ,
according to answers to inquiries sent
out by the rural life commission. A
large number of letters have been
mailed by the commission as a mean5
of ascertaining conditions and needed
reforms on farms in Nebraska. The
parcels post is one of the topics upon
which information was desired and
practically every answer received by
the commission indicates that it is de
sired. !
Governor Aldrich has received a
railroad pass from seven-year-old John
Leister Worsing of Huntington , Pa. ,
who is general manager of a line that
occupies one large room of his father's
house. In the absence of Governor
Aldrich. Secretary Fuller wrote a
suitable acknowledgement of the kind
of favors that used to be popular in
Nebraska , but which are now out
lawed. One of the conditions printed
on the pass states that meals and
lodgings are not furnished and that if
the holder becomes dissatisfied with
the service he can get off and walk.
OF THE AGE OF CHIVALRY
Fat Victim of Cupid Bashfully Ac
knowledges Real Reason for His
Act of Heroism.
The smallest boy had broken
through the ice and the fat boy was
crawling to his rescue. .
"Come back , Fatty ! " the other boys
shrieked. "You'll bust It all in , an'
den youse'll both be drowned ! "
But the fat boy , flat on his stomach
ach and spread out to his widest ex
tent , ignored these warning cries and
steadily crept toward the black hole
and Tommy's clinging fingers.
Once the ice made a cracking sound
and the watchers yelled with dismay ,
But the fat boy did not halt. Nearer
and nearer he came , and finally his
outstretched hands caught those clinging -
ing fingers and drew the small boy ,
little-by little , onto the firmer ice and
so to safety.
"What did youse do it fer , Fatty ? "
one of the boys tearfully remonstrat
ed.
"Aw , " replied the hero , "I knew
what I lost in weight I made up in
wideness , see ? "
Then his face softened.
"Besides , " he bashfully said , "I'm
sweet on Tommy's sister ! "
PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK
"My troubles began along in the
summer In the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and I .
itching an.d a kind of smarting pain , i
It took me mostly all over my back [
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would burn and itch at I I
'
night so that I could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
"I tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and I was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was ;
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was i
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap , Ointment
and also the Resolvent , and in about
three or four months' time my back
was nearly cured and L felt like a now
being. Now I am in good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and I.
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them. " ( Signed ) "W. A. Armstrong ,
Corbin , Kan. , May 26 , 1911. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere ,
a sample of each , with 32-page book ,
will be mailed free on application to
