WHEN CUPID WAS OFF DUTY
Lever Bad Cold That Led to Most
Unfortunate Misunderstand
ing With Girl.
Sweet was the lass, low was the

him to pnt across the big question.
He did not look well. Something
teemed to be troubling him. He tried
to say something, but the words stuck
in his throat, and the girl, noticing
this, turned the gas even lower.
Suddenly he turned to her and
cried, "I'm a dub!"
"No." she said, fondly. "You dont
appreciate yourself as well as some
others do, perhaps. Tee bee!"
"Yes," he persisted stubbornly, Tm
a dub!"
"No," she maintained.
"Yes." he almost shouted, Tm a
dub!"
She was a sensible girl, and so. real
izing that he ought to know best, she
thanked him kindly for warning her
in time and handed him his hat. It
was only after the door slammed be
hind him forever that she realized the
awful truth.
He had contracted a nasty cold,
and what he bad been trying to say
was. "I'm in love!"
HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE
"I can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago I noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If I would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. I could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves I could think of, I went to
three different doctors, but all di.i
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.
"So after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, I pur
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all I used."
(Signed) Miss Etta Narber, R. F. D. 2,
Spring Lake, Mich., Sept. 26, 1910.

as he who nurses vain regrets."

BUILD SUITABLE FARM WELL
Should Be Far Enough Away From
Sources of Pollution to Avoid All
Possible Danger.
There are few safer sources or wa
ter supply than a good well tightly
covered, properly situated and cared
for. If wells have, in the past, proved
to be the sources of infection It has
been due to carelessness. The earth
Is a good filter and may keep back
Safe and Sanitary.
Impurities for a long time, but ulti
mately they get In because the earth
becomes thoroughly saturated. You
can't be too careful.
A well with ground water approach
ing near the surface is more liable to
contamination through seepage from
nearby drains or closets than one
where a deep ground water compels
greater filtration. A sandy soil
makes the best and safest filter; a
clayey or limestone region Is most
dangerous, because of Assures and
cracks which may allow a free passage
of unflltered contaminated matter.
Under the best of circumstances, nc
possible source of pollution should be
allowed within 25 feet of a well; with
poor conditions as to soil or ground
water the well should be far away
from these sources of danger and pos
sible disease.
Be careful about the covering. Have
It tight. Be just as careful about the
casing. It should be or bricks laid In
cement mortar, pointed inside. This
casing should go down as far as pos
sible and the space around It should
be filled in with a well-tamped clay.
The casing should extend at least 11

Inches above the surface of the
ground and it should be protected fot
several feet around with a concrete
Ghleld. The platform should, ol
course, be tight, so that not a drop ol
water may flow back Into the welL
Ventilation tor a well is not necessary
Cost of Raising Wheat.
Including the item of rent, the cost
of raising wheat in the year 1905
was estimated by the department of
agriculture at CC cents a bushel; the
cost of raising corn was 38 cents a
bushel, and the cost of raising oats
was 31 cents a bushel. These figures
are probably a reasonable statement
of fact where the three grains are
successfully grown. The average
wheat fields were 59 acres; corn
Gelds. 30 acres, and average oat
fields. 25 acres. The wheat cost the
farmer to raise It $11.15 per acre;
the corn. 112.17 per acre, and the
oats. $10.91 per acre. On the selling
basis of 95 cents a bushel on farms,
the wheat showed a profit of $5 33
per acre; on the selling basis of 62
cents a bushel on farms, the com
showed a profit of $7.S2 per acre; on
the basis of 40 cents a bushel at the
farm, the oats showed a profit of
$4.17 per acre. These are the figures
of 1909. Today there Is considerable
decrease in price of grain and farmers
are not making any such profits.
Experiment With Dandelions.
After two years of spraying, making
12 applications in all on a strip of
lawn at the New York Agricultural
Experiment station with iron sul
phate, the dandelions sprayed were
In as thriving a condition as when the
spraying first began. Conclusion, iron
sulphate will not eradicate dandelions
from lawns.
Seed Doesn't Germinate.
On most meadows and pasturer
there Is usually plenty of white and
red cloverseed in the soil, but owing
to the lack of suitable plant food thr
seed has not germinated, or if It bat
the growth is very delicate.
Crop to Plow Under.
Crimson clover makes an excellent
crop to be plowed under, though rye
will answer. It Is not equal to the
clover, however, being without the
nitrogen-fixing properties of the clo7r
plant
Problems of Farmers.
There are two problems that the
farmers of this country have to face:
(1) spend more money on drainagf
and (2) use more diligence in eradi

Red Cross Christmas Seals.
The National Association for th
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
will this year for the first time be na
tional agent for the American Red
Cross in handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national office has
been opened in Washington, and an
initial order has been placed for
50.000.000 seals, although it is expect
ed that double that number will be
sold. The charge to local agents for
the seals will be 12 & per cent, of the
gross proceeds, the national agent fur
nishing the seals and advertising ma
terial, and taking back ail unsold seals
at the end of the season. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has approved oi

Red Cross seals for postage, the post
office department has given orders
that letters or packages bearing seals
on the face will not be carried
through the mails.

"I began to eat Grape-Nuts food two

"I eat it regularly at breakfast, fre
