J.—While the frequent rains have diverted attention from ir rigation to some extent among farm ers, yet this up-to-date method of farm ing is bound to come in south Jersey sooner or later, and the matter is be ing discussed at all gatherings of farmers. The Irrigation plan of Arthur Seabrook, in Cumberland county, has been visited by men from all over the country, and they are delighted with the results. Dr. John C. Cury, former councilman of this city, who has a small truck gar den surrounding his pretty home on Holroyd place, installed an experi mental plant this spring, and it is now In full operation. It Is known as the "overhead system,” and Is operated every day with the best of results. Two long lines of overhead pipes with operatives at regular distances are stretched the entire distance of hls lot, at the end of which a well Is dug. The water is raised from the well by a gasoline pump and foroed through the pipes, which are so arranged that they can be turned to throw the little streams In any direction desired; wa ter can be turned Into a spray or thrown out to fall like a gentle or heavy rain.

He is a mere boy, fifteen years old. and he comes from Adgar In India. At fourteen he wrote a book called A At the Feet of the Master." which has been translated Into many languages and Is said by theosophlsts to be inspired by a high consciousness of human needs. To them the prophet, who Is called both Krishnamurtl and Alcyone, confirms by his presence the assertions of Mrs. Annie Besant In her address In the Sorbonne last year that a profound change Is coming in the life of humanity and that It Is to en ter upon a new phase to be signalized by the coming of the master wkb is to establish a new religion. the place, but not strong enough to work, he never wanted me or anybody to go to a certain part of the premises that he was in the habit of visiting frequently.

A little thing like mumps couldn't keep Herman Vail, son of County Commissioner Harry L. Vail, from get ting Into the annual oratorical contest at University school. Hla physician told him to stay In when his two cheeks swelled out like circus balloons "Bah." said Vail—and the “bah" hurt him. But ha called a cab In the eve nlng and, when his turn came to apeak he turned loose a flood of oratory that won him first prize over four competi tors. He talked on "The Hudson Bay Company.” Hla schoolmates went away wondering whether he'd surprise them again by coming out to represent the school In the tennis championship matches. Vail qualified for the finale before he got the mumps. Vail’s ora torlcal efforts won him the Sherman prise, offered annually by Mm. Henry Sherman, mother of a one-time uni versity student. Second honors In tha oratorical contest were carried off by Benjamin Pose, who spoke on ”Tha Commission Form of Municipal Oor eramenL" The Middle-Aged Woman. Of the many ways in which the mid dle-aged woman may vary the effect of her afternoon gowns none is sim fler than the use of a collar and cuffs of white voile edged with scalloping and embroidery in a floral design. An other change may be the frock set of white chiffon with border of blaok mallnes, and still another Is the one of black net hemstitched with silver thread. Some of these collars are so long in front that they terminate only at the waist line, where they oroes in surplice effect and are tucked away under the girdle.

ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP Lebanon, O.—-“My eczema started on my thigh with a small pimple. It also came on my scalp. It began to itch and I began to scratch. For eighteen or twenty years I could not tell what I passed through with that awful Itching. I would scratch until the blood would soak through my un derwear, and I couldn’t talk to my friends on the street but I would be digging and punching that spot, until I was very much ashamed. The Itch ing was sq intense I could not sleep after once in bed and warm. I certain ly suffered torment with that eczema for many years. “I chased after everything I ever heard of, but all to no avail. I saw the advertisement for Cutlcura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample. Imagine my delight when I applied the first dose to that awful itching fire on my leg and scalp. In less than a minute the Itching on both places ceased. I got some more Cutlcura Soap and Ointment After the second day I never had another Itching spell, and Cutlcura Soap and Ointment com pletely cured me.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children bom in oivilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one yearj thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotio preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantify they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, siokness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but yon must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the 1 pores of the skin and allays fever. ■ Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Uy.
