What They All Have to I.edrn
To the man who has for
new tires, a couple of
springs, and anew pair of lamps, the
cost of automobiling as a pastime is
apparent. But it is* doubtful if, even
at the monuMlt Jic unfolds the bill ard
first in all its magnitude, he
automobiling has already
cosUFne United States more than sl,-
000,v'*0.000, enough to wipe out the na
tional ,'ebt. or to psy twice over for
ail the "Dreadnoughts" built or build
ing for the navies of the world. Even
this figure hardly expresses the cost
which the world is paying for its joy
ride. The number of machine owners
is increasing at an astonishing rate.
Ten years ago there were only 3,500
cars owned in the United States. At
the end of 1909 there were 250,000: now
there are 400,000. In 190s only 55,000
cars were manufactured in this coun
try. The following year the number
increased to 80,000. In the ten tr >nths
of 1910 to November 1, 175,000 ma
chines were produced. Automobiles
were exported to the value of $11,190,-
220. Two companies were incorporated,
one with a capital of $60,000,000, tak
ing in twenty subsidiaries, and the other
with $15,000,000. bringing together
eight or ten smaller producers.

Renovating Complevions by Ab
sorption
(From Popular Topics to r Women)
Do not delude yourself with tKe
idea that cold creams, lotions or cos
metics will effectually remove or con
ceal pimples, sallowness, tan, freck
les, liver spots or other complexion
ills. They only aid your appearance
temporarily and in time will work
more barm than good. You should
get at the root of the matter by
treating the skin itself. Just get an
ounce and a half of pure coleated
b&lstn from vour drnggist and apply
it'at night after a thorough cleansing
of the skin with warm water. This
acts upon the skin quickly and hart
lessly flecking off the thin outer veil
in tiny particles like dour and giv
ing the fresh blooming skin under
neath a chance to breathe and assert
itself. You will never need to use
cosmetic*, cold creams, lotions, etc.,
again, for your complexion can be
kept perfect by the use of coleated
balsm.

Mr. Farmer:
The way to get good prices
for your eggs is not to hold
your eggs for an advance in
the market, but to supply
better eggs. Feed and wat
er your hens well. Have
plenty of nice, clean
nests. Market only clean,
full sized eggs that you
kno - ;> be fresh. Do not
atten to market small,
dirty or badly stained eggs.
They will only lower the
price of your eggs. Gather
vour eggs every day and
market them once a week
or oftener. If you do not
find it convenient to market
your eggs yourself every
week, make arrangements
with the neighbors on your
cream route to carry each
otners eggs to market.
Present prices 23 cts.
per dozen.

A MOVING GOAT DAIRY
At an early hour one morning
; I witnessed what I had expected to see
; somewhere in Europe, but hardly in
I Paris. I saw a flock of black, long
horned goats on the sidewalk and in the
street. A man was milking one. A
women was standing by and fondling
one by stroking its Head. After a few
moments the naan got up, gave the
milk to the w’omar. and was paid for it.
Then he called to the goats and they
all moved on. A traveling dairy, to be
sure. I wished for my kodak. One
afternoon, hot and tired, I sat down on
one of the iron chairs on the Champs
Elysees. A woman came over from a
stand and poked a block of receipts at
me. I didn’t look at first, suppesing
she was one of the many parasites of
Europe. But she persisted ar.d I saw
f he leaflets were marked 10 cer times.
I asked, "What’s that for?” She said.
! rapping the chair, "Pourles shnires.”
;1 raised my weary limbs and stfode on,
saying, ‘I didn’t know anything
that.” I noticed some French people
! a little further on taking the chairs and
|no one molested them. On the Eiffel
j Tower I had a similar experience. Some
! telescopes were there and until I saw
| others using tnem and paying nothing
I did not venture. When I did immedi
ately a women presented a receipt for
j fifty centimes (10c* s) and in disgust I let
! go of the telescope ar.d walked away,
j The innumerable devices which they
spring upon foreigners, which they do
! not perpetrate on their own kind, are a
nuisance until you learn to let every
thing alone till you know whether there
is a charge for it to the foreigners or
not.
A CITY OF SPLENDOR
The one day I spent at Versailles was
j the most enjoyable in France. The
! gardens are extraordinary. Aithongh
’ the plan presents an appearance of
j stiffness, there is beauty everywhere.
I Deep shade in groves and magnificent
: avenues of trees, fountains, rows of
i statuary and vases the subjects being
i ancient and modem, elaborately de
; signed flower beds, terraces, itiirwavs.
j trees trimmed to shape, seats provided
—everything unlike anything in Paris.
: and very grand indeed. Within the
; palace I visited the hall* of sculpture,
! the historic galleries in which hundreds
'of canvases, some very large indeed
;form a pictorial history of France, the
j royal apartments of Luuis XIV and
• Marie Antoinette. Alt the rooms which
;i; saw, with a few exceptions .were
finished in gold and some were elabo
rately carved. When I saw the splendor
of this magnificent palace ana knew
i that its hey-day everything else was on
! a par with it in the doings of royalty,
I did not wonder that the oppressed
people, cn whose backs all the burden
of this extravagance rested, rebelled.
Of course there v.as much to enjoy
in France and I did enjoy it. But I
enjoyed Switzerland much more. Of
that'l will tell you, all being well, in
my next.
Yours sincerely,
Percival D. MaCallum.

Home Remedy lor Double Chin
and wrinkles
(Ladies' Home Magazine)
Whethei penly, or down deep in
her heart, e very woman deplores the
coming of wrinkles, “crow's feet”
and a double chin, as well as enlarg
ed pores. The wise woman doesn't
attempt to patch up her face with
patent dreams, lotions, cosmetics,
etc. She realizes these are only tem
porary aids to her appearance. If
every woman knew that she could go
to her druggist and get an ounce and
a half of ola-fashioned thermodized
jelly, and by rubbing half a teaspoon
ful into her face daily she could rid
herself of her wrinkles or “crow’s
feet,” her double chin or .ter black-'
heads very quickly—why-the ans
wer is, there would be fewer women
wearingwrinkles and the other things
above mentioned, and incidentally—
she would learn that the real trouble
lay not with the outer cuticle, but
the fibrous tissue underneath. This
needs heat-givirg nourishment, and
thermodized jelly will supply it as
r cubing else will.
