Honry speaks as follows regarding those foods; "Wheat bran is especially valuable due to Its laxative properties. It furnishes bulk and plenty of protein and ash so essential In milk formation. The combination of bran and corn meal Is not excelled as a dairy food. The bulk of the oat though carrying llttlo nutriment renders this grain a feed of

feeder Is demanded to keep up the production of the dairy herd. By buying plenty of expensive feeds it Is possible to do this. rut that removes the profits and the pn.M.-m is, how to get a large production of milk from an economical system of fading. Many dairmen make a great mistake in not kovplng enough grain and roughage to carry tholr herds through the winter Instead tbey sell grain and roughage In large urrounts and

DON'TS FOR DRESSMAKERS 1
Some Valuable Little Hints for tho Women Who Make Their Own Garments at Home. Don't opon a lingerie waist In front unless you wish to say adieu to nil style. Don't uso a deep navy blue this winter when a bright shade and royal blue are the newer tones. Don't save on any linings or notions In dressmaking. Don't buy cheap black goods whon a decent quality repays you twofold. Don't try to use stitching as a trimming unless you know your machino and havo a "straight eye,"
Don't make a walking skirt to "dip" at the back; let It hang ovenly all around.

No Need to Be Good. A llttlo Shakor Heights girl surprised her parents last week by rofusIng to bo scared Into boing good. "It's no use telling mo Snnta Claus won't come, or that the angolt will write It down In their book if I'm naughty, mnmmn," sho said. "I might as woll tell you thnt they think up In heaven that I'm dead." "Uut why should they think that, dear?" "Because 1 haven't said my prayors for two weeks." Cleveland Plain Dealer. CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA "I can't toll In words how happy the
word 'Cutlcurn' sounds to me, for It cured my baby of itching, torturing eczema. It first came when sho was between three aud four weeks old, appearing on her head. I used everything Imaginable and had one doctor's bill after another, but nothing cured It. Then the eczema broke out so badly behind her ear that I really thought her ear would coino off. For months I doctored It bu. to no avail. Then it began at her nose nnd hor eyos were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her In a dark room for two weeks. The doctor did no good, so I stopped him coming;. "For about two weeks I had used Cuticura Soap for her every day. then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment and began to uso that In a woek there was a marked improvement. In all I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. This was last November; now her hair Is growing out nicely and sho has not a scar on her. I can not praise Cuticura enough. I can take my child anywhere and people are amazed to see her without a sore. From the time she was four weeks old until she was three years she was never without the terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a well child. (Signed) Mrs. H. E. Householder. 2004 Wilhelm St. Baltimore. Md.. May 10, 1910.
