A clear skin without blotches or pimples can be had only with, pure blood. Certainly a prescription that cures even the worst cases of blood disease, clears up eczema and scrofula and cures Inflammatory rheumatism and catarrh will produce a rosy complexion. Dr. A. R. Simpson's Vegetable Com pound has for forty years been known as the most powerful of all alteratives or blood purifiers. There has never been a case of blood-poison (even syph Ills) or skin disease that it could not cure. Thousands of women take it regularly to keep their blood healthy and their complexion clear. It is purely vegetable and harmless. It was orglnally the prescription of Dr, A. B. Simpson, who was one of the most celebrated physicians of the mid lie west. Inflammatory rheumatism satarrh. scrofula, eczema, pimples. ryslpelas and all troubles arising from impure blood yield to it readily. Sold at $1 per bottle at ail drug ttor.

MAIL CAR PROBLEM. San Antonio, Texas, June 27. On complaint of S. M. Gaines, superintendent of the railway mail service of these parts, the Texas railroad commission may in the near future scrutinize the mail cars run on some Texas railroads. Mr. Gaines says that none of the roads in Texas use cars which are really defective and that such extraordinary factors of danger as must be met by the mall clerks are due to the practice of using cars partly built of wood in trains composed of all steel coaches. In case of accident this Invariably results in the heavy steel cars crushing the mail car like an egg shell. Mr. Gaines thinks that the wooden mail car is comparatively safe . only in trains composed through out of cars of that type. While the railroad commission is Inclined to take action, it has as yet to find out just what power it has in the prem ises. HAGERSTOWN, IND. Hagerstown, Ind., June 27.

(This mattor must n.t be reprinted with out .necta! permission. A BAD. ORCHARD ENEMY. June is the month when careful in spection should be made of the young apple and pear trees to see that the newly hatched larvae of the borer beetle are beaded off. While some orchardists Incase tie trunks of the young trees with wrappers of one kind or another, which extend a couple of Inches into the sell, or paint the trunks with whitewash in which a rather strong solution of carbolic acid has been added, these precautions should not be allowed to take the place of an Individual tree inspection. This is best done by keeping all grass and weeds hoed away from the trunk of the tree, getting down on all fours and carefully scraping the bark for a couple of Inches below the surface of the ground with a sharp knife, a curved bladed pruning knife being preferable. The presence of the newly hatched borers will be indicated by a drop of discolored sap exuding from the bark orva tiny bit of browa wood dust. If the borers have been In the tree a year or more this brown excreta will be considerable, the adjacent bark giving a hollow sound when scraped with the knife. This dead bark should be carefully pared away and the borer or borers lo cated, for sometimes four or five will be eating the life out of the same tree. Borers of the preceding year's hatch usually work down and sideways from the point of entrance, while those which have been in the tree two sea sons are deeply bedded in the wood and are usually working up preparatory to their change to the beetle stage and emergence from the tree in this form some time in June. While a plia ble wire is good for reaching these pests, a little peeled twig will answer the purpose nicely, the use of it often preventing a serious cutting of the bark and tree. When the borers have been cleaned out the wounds should be packed tight with moist soil, so as to hasten the healing process. There Is no other single pest which does as much primary damage to fruit trees as borers, yet there is no orchard enemy which the novice seems to know so little about WILL BEAR WATCHING. The present unexampled solicitude of the fruit jobbers' trust for the finan cial welfare of the independent fruit growers i entirely too belated to be credited with any large degree of phi lanthropy or altruism. Time was and that but a short time ago when all growers were I independent that is, each operated Individually and was easy picking for the commission sharks, who saw that their victims got just enough returns for their produce to keep soul and body together, and sometimes not that much. The city buyers were banded together to quote a price for a given shipment of produce and then notify all members of the clique what that price was, and the victim could wait until be got black in the face, but he would get no better offer. In time growers woke up and realized how they had been hoodwinked and swindled. They are now organized, and organized effectively enough so that they are beginning to get fairly decent treatment from those who formerly plundered them at will Some dissatisfaction has been felt by members of some growers' associations with prices received, and these are be ing enticed away from the organiza tiou by temporary decent treatment by the commission men and jobbers, but it is only for the purpose of disrupt ing these co-operative marketing or ganizations, when the old tactics can be counted on to put into play; hence when the fruit jobbers' trust displays undue kindness toward the independents It is safe to rssume there is an ulterior motive bebi-d it. There is a nigger in the wood pile. HAND THINNING OF FRUITS. When danger of frost is past and it Is apparent that the trees have set more fruit than their size would seem to indicate that it will be possible for them to bring to a good sized maturity, hand thinning should be resorted to. This will not only reduce the number, but will at the same time Improve both the size and quality of the fruit re maining, the total weight or volume of fruit not being reduced by the process but simply being confined beneath fewer skins. The thinning in most of the western orchard districts is done when the apples are about the size of a shelled walnut, and the practice Is to leave no fruit on the trees closer than six inches. The same rule holds for pears, while for smaller fruits, such as peaches and apricots, the distance at which the fruit Is left apart is about four Inches, varying somewhat upon the variety and size wWch it usually attains. If the thinning is carefully done much defective fruit may be eliminated in the process, thus reduc Ing the number of culls which will have to be bandied at harvest time. It is surprising how the shoving of the dog tax up from $1 to $3 per annum will alter people's ideas of the Intrinsic value of members of the canine tribe. Hundreds of small towns need to have this test applied. The young asparagus bed set last fall or this spring should not be cropped this season, as all of the energy the plants can muster should be allowed to go toward the development of sturdy root systems. This will give a largely increased output of the vege table another season. When one finds himself under the necessity of borrowing tools or ma chirery fairness would seem to justify the payment of a nominal sum to the oy aer for the accommodation. This f aid but cover wear and tear and a fjoall Interest return on the money 'nvested in such equipment.

iCike a cttild sick, but kill" It if in an overdose. More than one housewife saves herself a world. of bard work by having the men of the house put off their muddy boots and shoes before going into the kitchen or dining room. This takes a little time, but the reasonableness of it will be appreciated by any fair minded man who will get down on his prayer bones and scrub the floor two or three times. Recent feeding experiments conducted by the Massachusetts experiment sta tion at Amherst in the matter of feed ing alfalfa meal and bra have demonstrated that there is no disadvantage in feeding the former unless it can be got at the same or a less price than bran. Analyses showed the bran to have a trifle larger protein content, while it was eaten by the cows more readily and resulted in. manures of a considerably higher fertilizer value. If any of our readers have been be lated, as the writer has been, in the setting of fruit or shade trees, the fault may be remedied in part by a judicious waterlog, care being taken to see that the ground is mellowed shortly after the watering is done so as to prevent the formation of a crust about the tree, while the application of a shovelful of well rotted manure through which the rain or water arti ficially applied can soak is an excellent aid in enabling the tree to make up for the lost time. A majority -of the soothing sirups at present on the market and frequently used by tiredVmothers to quiet Crying babies contain considerable quantities of morphine or cocaine, both of them deadly poises, and many of the so called cures for several drug babits contain the very drugs a craving for which these cures are supposed to relieve the drug victim of. Farmers' bulletin No. 393, put out a short time ago by the department of agriculture at Washington, goes very thoroughly into the subject of these death deal ing nostrums. There should be one in every home. Nature seems to have provided ex ceptional means for reducing the baby hoodthe helpless period of the birds to a minimum, thereby decreasing the likelihood of their destruction by their several natural enemies. This safe guard lies chiefly in the enormous eat ing capacity of the newly hatched birds, three or four nestlings keeping both parent birds busy from daylight until dark stuffing their uplifted and gaping mouths. . This large consump tion of food results in a like prodigious and rapid growth and development, the young birds testing their wings in flight from the nest but a few short weeks after hatching. Beyond treating dirt roads at the right time and keeping them well crowned so as to shed rainfall quickly there is probably no factor that will tend better to keep them in good con dition than the use of broad tired wagons in place of the narrow tired ones which have been in so general use in the past. There is always a period when a road has been worked into shape, but has not been packed down hard, when a narrow tired wagon heavily loaded will undo much of the work. The same thing is true during rainy seasons, when the road, however well graded, becomes soft. Whatever the season, the broad tired wagon has a decided advantage over the narrow in keeping the roads in good condition. The Satsuma orange, Introduced into the United States from Japan twentyfive years ago and thither from China 300 years prior, gives promise of being a valuable addition to the citrus fruits commercially valuable. It is unique in that Jt is the only citrus species which is deciduous, casting all its leaves in the autumn, as do our com mon forest trees. It is both the ear liest and hardiest variety of orange grown, its fruit ripening early in Oc tober. It is seedless, like the navel. and fine flavored. A further interest ing fact concerning it, recently brought to light, is that it is absolutely worthless as a fruit bearer unless budded or grafted on trifoliate stock. This is a fact that the setters of new orange groves would do well to keep in mind. Hoses seem to appreciate an evening bath on hot days as well as do men and animals. In addition to supply ing the bushes with needed moisture. the applying of the shower bath under good pressure will keep the leaves and flowers free from most of the slugs, red spiders and aphides which attack j them. While a big ado is made about the high cost of the necessaries of life, hardly a line is penned relative to ex penditure In the United States alone of $1,600,000,000 annually for whisky and beer, this total not including the additional enormous burden borne by taxpayers in the shape of criminal court expense.

Whatever else may be said of the California, grain grower, he is entitled to a measure of credit for the bit of I sentiment be seems to show in leaving i numerous live oak? in his fields, which show up in striking relief against the golden yellow of the ripening grain. While these trees make trouble for the plower and reaper, they add much to the beamy of the landscape for the passerby.

Many a horse souad. as a.djaUer in its less, and

shoulders isn't worth a "continental because of a seeming derange men t of its brain cells, and tote latter defect is often not apparent until the former owner has made good clearance of his bargain. The reason for deep early cultivation of the cornfield and shallow cultiva

tion later lies in the fact that from the 1 time the plants reach a height of a foot and a half they rapidly develop a root system which spreads out as well as down, comprising numerous fine roots which lie near the surface. The aim of the later cultivations should be to keep the surface of the soil mellow to prevent baking and a stoppage of circulation of air and moisture. Now and then you cosae across a fellow who is always dickering and swappingsometime horse, sometimes vehicles ami now and then machinery and other stuff. We have seen premises belonging to fellows ot this stripe which were literally covered with trash of one kind and another, a good per cent of It being juitk picked up at nearby auction sales. We. nave heard of chaps who swapped wives and kids, too, and the latter were doubtless glad of the change. The nettle, while net a noxious weed in the same sense as quack grass or the Canada thistle, is hard to kill out because it multiplies by root strflk growth as well as by seed. The best way to dispose of a small patch is to dig up carefuHy to a good depth, collect all the loose roots, let them dry in the sun and bura them. In the course of a couple of weeks the patch should be dug over a second time, when any roots left in the ground will have be gun to grow. These should likewise be removed and burned. The pulling -up a of a dead stalk of corn in the f ajlgftes-but a faint idea of the extent of the plant's root system. Careful dareatlgations show that Instead of the. roots being eight or ten Inches long, as -one might readtty sup pose from saaerdcialexaiBtaatioB, they run from frveito eight; feet la the aver age hill ofcorn. A knowledge of thts fact should not only be helpful to the corn grower, but also to the orchardlst who may use corn as a between row crop among little trees. The corn draws largely on the moisture of the soil and if planted too close to the trees will consume that which they should have for their best develop ment. Both the quality and quantity of the fruit from the average home garden strawberry bed could be greatly Im proved were the number of plants, al lowed to set for bearing reduced by half or more. This would give the plants remaining more room, more light, more fertility to draw on and would thus greatly increase their thriftiness and bearing capacity. Some of the best yields of strawberries on record have been made by beds in which the plants were set closely in the original bed, but allowed to send out no runners whatever, being culti vated according to the hill system, as it is usually known. It is too late now to help beds that are ready to bear, but the bed set this spring for fruiting next year can be so handled as to pre vent this crowding and stunting of the plants, while beds that are bearing their first crop this season can be so thinned after the bed is renovated as to bring about the right conditions for next season. If the row system is to be followed In the new bed no more new plants should be allowed to take root than will comfortably fill the row each plant being allowed a space of seven or eight inches square. Crafty M. Blane. Blanc, the founder of the Monte Car lo gambling resort, was well aware of the desperate character f many of his customers. Knowing that they Included the scum and riffraff of the world, he took precautions against tbem. He never carried any money, which fact he announced so frequently and publicly that it was known every where along the Riviera that the mil lionaire Blanc never had a penny on his person. But he carried in a pocketbook a draft on red paper for several hundred thousand francs, payable to the indorsee. He feared kidnaping as much as robbery, and in case of ab duction he Intended to ransom himself with this draft. But the instructions at his office were not to cash a red draft with his signature unless a telegram was received from him ordering It to be done. A Painful Proeoss. I was quite surprised one day when upon telling my little five-year-old girl, who was of a saving disposition, that I would put her pennies in the bank to have her educated to find that she burst into violent weeping and shout ed, "I won't be educated; it hurts." "Hurts?" I queried. "What do you mean?" . "I know," she sobbed. "They take a knife and scrape your arm and it wells up. I won't take my money to be educated." Delineator.

Joan Richepin'o First Losson as an In- . structor In Literature. At the age of twenty -two Jean Richepin. the French poet and dramatic author, accepted a place as instructor In literature in a school which prepared students for the military college of St. Cyr. His employers warned him that the future army officers took very little Interest in belles-lettres and that their principal occupation in class raising chaos. Bichepin's first lesson began amid a storm of whistling and catcalls. But the young Instructor's voice boomed out above the uproar and Imperiously commanded silence. "Gentlemen." he said. "I am not here because 1 like it I am bere for my living. Is any one of you going to stand in the way? If there is. I should be obliged if he will tell me so face to face on the Place du Pantheon, wbere I am ready to meet him at any time. And inasmuch as we are all of us about the same age. you understand, of course, that the Interview will be with bare fists." And. so saying, young Bichepln brought bis clinched hand down upon the desk, and the desk broke In two. and he and bis pupils lived happily ever afterward. Thus runs the official legend. Argonaut.

REPORT SHOWS GAIU

British Labor Party Tells Co penhagen of Strides Made. YET PARTY LOST SEATS Iiondon, June 27 A report on th British Labor party to be presented to the International Congress at Co penhagen shows that the total strength of the party last year was 1.4S1.S6S. The total consisted ot 1.445.T0S members of 161 trade unions, S0.9S3 members of socialists societies, 4,004 members of the Women's Labor lea gue and 6TS co-operators. In 1908 the strength was 1.152.7S6. During 1909 the Miner's Federation, with a membership of 550,000 was af filiated. The strength in 1900 was only 375,931. Seventy-eight labor candidates fought in the general election, include ing the whole of the 33 sitting ment bers and 11 members for whom the Miner Federation of Great Britain were responsible, but who in the pre vious parliament had sat as liberals. The result was that the party lost eight seats and won three, showing a net loss of five. "Under the cir cumstances, says the report, the re sult was not disappointing. In the election of 1906 the tide in our favoi was full, and the number ot labor" members elected, surprised every body. "The election of 1910, on the othei hand, was of a special nature. The government was defending & budget' the main provisions of which were supported by the labor party both, in parliament and in the country, and a constitutional issue relating to the powers of the house of lords- in rejecting legislation was regarded by the whole country as being of supreme im portance. Consequently we did worse in three-cornered fights than we would have done, under normal political con ditions, and we were unable to make good our inevitable losses by captur ing seats which in ordinary timet might have fallen to us." The total number of votes polled by labor candidates was 505,590, an in crease of 1S3.506 on the total vote of 1906. The Other Way. "Then you don't want to leave footprints upon the sands of time?" .
