INEXPENSIVE SULPHUR BATHS
AT HOME
People travel long distances and
spend large sums of money to secure
the benefits of sulphur springs and
baths because for generations sulphur
has been known to be one of nature's
most valuable curatives unequalled as
a blood purifier. By dissolving 2 to 4
tablespoonfuls of Hancock's Sulphur
Compound In a hot bath you get the
same effect and your system absorbs
the sulphur through the pores of the
skin. For prickly heat and summer
skin troubles of Infants and children
use a teaspoonful of the Sulphur Com
pound in a bowl of warm water. This
makes a refreshing bath and quickly
alleviates the pain. Sold by all deal

Two Styles of
ROLLER-SKATE SAILS.
Have you boys ever thought of the
Idea of making a sail for roller-skate
sailing along the sidewalk? Roller
skate sailing is almost as much fun
as sailing on ice skates, and with a
fair wind it is possible to spin along
the pavement at a delightful speed.
The common forms of Ice skate sails
can be used for roller-skate sailing,
but they should be of smaller propor
tion so they can be handled easily
and will not take up too much space.
Fig. 1 shows a boy using a square
shaped sail, and Fig. 5 shows a triangular-shaped
sail. The former sail of
course has the larger area, but the
latter sail is easier to handle on ac
count of being smaller.
The sail shown in Fig. 2 is 3 feet
wide and 5 feet long. Cut the top and
bottom spars, A, 3 feet long, and the
center spreader, B, 6 feet 6 inches
long. Almost any light-weight, close
ly woven cloth that you find will do
for the sail covering. Perhaps you
;an get an old sheet. Cut the cloth
bo the selvage will extend along one
edge, and hem the cut edge to keep it
from raveling. Tack the top and bot
tom edges to spars A (Fig. 3).
Drive a nail into each end of the
spars and the spreader, and drive two
nails into the spreader about 6 inches
from the ends (Fig. 4), and one into
spars A at their centers (Fig. 3). The
rope stays are fastened to these
nails. Tie one rope to the center
nails in spars A (Fig. 3) and another
piece to each of the end nails in
spreader B (Fig. 4). In fastening the
sail to the spreader first tie the ropes
on spars A to the nails on the side
of the spreader, then run the ropes
on the spreader end to the nails on
the ends of spars A, and tie them.
The hand straps sewed to the face
of the sail cloth can "be made of braid
or pieces of cloth folded into several
thicknesses.
Fig. 1 shows the method of holding
the sail when the wind is from in
back of you. The left hand grasps
the spreader B, and the right hand
extended spreads out the sail side
ways by means of the strap. The
sail can be lifted around to either
side, and the positions of the hands
reversed, according to whichever di
rection the wind is blowing from, in
the same way that you would handle
the sail of a sailboat. 1
The three-cornered sail shown In
Fig. 5 requires two spars C, 5 feet
long, and D, 3 feet 4 inches long. The
end of the spreader spar (D) slips
into a socket on spar C, and by de
taching the sail the sticks can be
separated and rolled up in the cloth
in as compact a form as the other
sail. For the connecting socket go
to a plumber and get a "T" pipe fitting
(Fig. 6). He can probably find one
with broken threads, about the shop,
which will be of no use to him, yet
serve your purpose exactly. Cut the
vertical spar so the "T" fitting will
fit it snugly, and drive the "T" along
the spar to its exact center.
The edges of the sail cloth that
haven't a selvage should be hemmed,
and the corner which is fastened to
Bpreader D should be reinforced with
a piece of cloth as indicated by dot
fig t mP-'Ttii
Handy Boys
olle. - skate Sails-
ted lines in 'Fig. 5. The sail may be
tacked along spar C in the same way
that the sail in Fig. 2 is fastened, or
it may be lashed to the spar like
regular sails are lashed (Fig. 5). For
lashing the sail you, must either set
in metal eyelets along the edge of
the sail for tapes to run through, or
sew tapes directly to the cloth. In
either case that edge of the sail must
be reinforced by sewing a strong
piece to it (Fig. 7). To the point of
the sail which fastens to the spreader
sew a belt buckle, and near the end
of the spreader tack a piece of a
strap. Then the sail can be pulled
taut and buckled to the spreader. If
ycu cannot find a buckle, you can
fasten a rope to the corner of the
sail and tie it to a nail driven into the
end of the spreader, which will serve
the purpose if you tie a knot that
will not slip and yet be easy to untie.
In using this sail the spar C is held
with one hand and the spreader
grasped with the other, in .much the
same way as the square-shaped sail is
beld (Fig. 1), and spar C is supported
upon the shoulder. The sail is shift
ed from shoulder to shoulder and the
hand holds reversed, with a change
in the direction of sailing, according
to which way the wind Is coming
from.

BEST EXPRESSION OF THANKS
Live Joyously and Genuinely, Says
One Who Dislikes Formal Phrases
of Gratitude.
The best possible method of giving
thanks for the blessings of life is to
live joyously and genuinely. When the
flowers of spring break forth in their
simple beauty because of the sun's
rays they make the response of grati
tude. When human beings expand in
the richness and geniality of warm
hearts and sincere desires they, too,
are showing the supremest gratitude.
The sparkling air of a frosty fall day
makes one "feel good," but "feeling
good" is nothing else than a grateful
recognition of the atmospheric stimu
lus felt in the blood.
It may be that formal phrases ot
gratitude are not spoken as readily as
in earlier days. It may even be that
there is less Informal phrasing of
grateful emotions than there was
when life was less complex and dis
turbed. Quantitative comparisons of
emotions are hard to make and sure
to be Inaccurate. Who shall say that
there is less genial and joyous living
today, or a more sluggish response to
the warning spirit of fellowship?
Mere laughing does not signify hap
piness, nor does the eager pursuit of
commercialized amusements mean
true joyousness. But the judgment of
the capacity of humanity for thank
fulness must be based on wider evi
dence than the wretchedness wrought
by crime and poverty, or the cynical
pessimism or those who have been
cheated in life's game, or the unhappy
restlessness of the wanderers in a
great city. Edward H. Chandler, In
Boston Globe.
(Instrument for Analyzing Gasei.
By the use of a new German instru
ment, which takes the Index of re
fraction of mixed gases, Haber and
Lowe are able to find the amount of
carbon dioxide and methane con
tained in mine gases. The method is
also useful In many other cases, such
as for benzol vapors in the gas dis
tilled by gas or coke plants, also sulphurous-anhydride
in the gases com
ing from pyrites roasting, as well as
percentages of ozone in the air. They
are also able to check the purity of
hydrogen made by the electrolytic
process, observe the gases in human
breath and carry out other Very use
ful tests.
Appeal for Aviation In England.
Owing to the success which the
public subscriptions are having In
France for the purchase of aeroplanes
for the army and the poor results
coming from a like subscription
opened Vin England for two months
past, Major General Arbuthnot, who
is president of the British Aerial
league, has addressed a new appeal
to patriotic sentiment in favor of
military aviation in England.

FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Ample Room May Be Provided With
Assistance of Modern Wire Fen
cing and Few Posts.
The old method of free range need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not, however, be allowed
to run at will within the garden or in
and about the farm buildings. Noth
ing Is more aggravating or disgust
ing than to have the nice vegetables
or. beautiful flowers scratched up, and
the doorsteps, the porch, the barn
floor, and the farm machines fouled
with poultry droppings. Separate the
poultry also from the other live stock
of the farm.
If the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
enclosed by modern poultry wire
fencing. The latter requires ordi
narily but a few posts, is easily put
up and has a very neat appearance
when in position.
Another way of separating the fowls
from the center of farm operations is
to place the hen houses at a consider
able distance from the farmstead, in
a pasture where the fowls will have
absolute range. The latter plan may
entail some extra travel by the poul
tryman and there is the risk in some
localities of depredations by foxes,
hawks or other wild animals or by
thieves. The young, strong farmer
boy may find advantage In the second
or so-called "colony plan," while the
housewife will probably prefer the
fenced enclosure near the farm house.
Thirdly the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by a little extra effort he
could gain a select private trade
which would pay far better. His pure
bred stock of one breed of fowls in
their well kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be a great adver
tisement for his egg products and uni
form clean appearange of the eggs in
their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales.
Then, too, in disposing of his fowls
the farmer often sells the birds alive
when by carefully dressing them on
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices.
FEEDING COOP FOR SQUABS
Materials Necessary Consist of Hun
dred Feet of Flooring and Piece
of Wire Mesh.
A satisfactory coop for fattening
chicks of "Leghorn squabs," as the
trade calls them, is shown in the ac
companying illustration. The materi
als necessary consist of 100 feet of
flooring, two pieces of wire netting
3 by 4 feet, a piece of inch mesh
wire for the front, a feed drawer made
from store boxes, a pair of hinges,
door transom and some roofing paint.
The floor is covered with road dust,
Fattening Coop.
writes Mrs Almo of Chaves county,
N. M., in the Farmers Mail and Breeze.
A dry feed mixture put up by a local
feed store consits of cracked corn, mi
lo, wheat, bran, alfalfa meal and meat
meal. Milk curd is fed twice a week.
The feed drawer is filled twice week.
I find more gain in weight by using a
coop than in yards, and use less feed.
I put the chicks in this coop as soon
as they are old enough to take from
the brooder.
Methods of Feeding Fowls.
Fowls should have empty crops in
me morning and the crops 6hould
never be quite full until it Is time to
go to roost at' night. -For the first
feed, grain scattered in the litter early
In the morning Is preferred, the sooner
the better after the birds leave the
roosts. This Induces them to exercise,
which. is especially important on cold
winter mornings. In the middle of tha
day a warm, moistened mash should
be given, about what they will eat I
within 15 to 20 minutes, and at night,
about an hour before they go to roost,
a liberal feed of grain should be scat
ered in the litter.
Hens Need Exercise, j
It is very necessary that the hens
are given an opportunity to exercise.
If they haven't a good place to scratch
they can be forced to exercise by
hanging sunflowers, heads of grain,
etc., just high enough so they will
have to jump to. reach the food.
j .
Marketable Eggs.
Keep a breed that will lay eggs ol
good eize (about 24 ounces per dozen)
and cull out all layers of undersized,
weak shelled, eggs.
Let us leave the crowded street
Where the people fret and scheme;
Distant pathways lure our feet.
Far hills call us there to dream.
Do you not feel In your breast
The old longing to be free,
The old vague and sweet unrest,
That has claimed you stealthily?
Does the city still appeal?
Do the profits of the mart
Cause you still to fall to feel
The wild impulse in your heart?
"Why keep bending over books
Where gray walls shut out the light
When the call comes from the brooks
To partake of their delight?
Why inhale polluted air,
Why face danger day by day,
When the woods are calling where
Winter's chill la blown away?
Who cares for the crowded street
Where the people moll and scheme?
Distant pathways lure our feet.
Far hills call us there to dream.
No Place for Him.
"Call in our lawyer," said the presi
dent of the corporation.
"Yes, sir," replied the vice-president.
"Has anything of importance
happened?"
"No, I merely want to find out Just
how far we can go without being in
danger of becoming liable to arrest."
"But it seems to me, if I may say
so, we are going about as far as our
conscience should let us."
"Conscience? Oh! Say, you'd bet
ter quit big business and go run a
Sunday school somewhere."
Close. '
"Old Rum3ey always was pretty
close."
"Yes, and he always will be. Since
he was mixed up in that railroad ac
cident he invariably wants the street
car conductor to let him ride for four
cents on the ground that his cork leg
Is lighter than a natural one would
be."
Acknowledgment.
"You won't acknowledge it, George,
but you never would have amounted
to anything if It. had not been ,for
me."
"Thank you, dear. This is the first
acknowledgment you have made since
our marriage that I amount to any
thing." Easily Explained.
"How does it happen that you have
a beautiful bouquet on your desk
every morning?"
"I happen to be a very good friend
of a young lady who is permitting an
old gentleman with lots of money to
think she may some time consent to
be his wife."
Not Always.
"If a man can eat well and sleep
weil he may consider himself lucky,
no matter what his condition in life
may be.
"Is that so?- I used to be turnkey
In a jail, and some of the men we
locked up were the best eaters and
sleepers I ever saw In my life.
They Say.
"They say baseball made him rich."
"Yes."
"Did he own stock in a club that
won the championship?"
"No. He owned a saloon about half
way between the nearest street car
line and the grounds where a team
that won the championship played."
Originality.
"Mr, Waddleson is such an original
genius."
"I know it. His wife says he was
that way when, he courted her. In
stead of proposing in the usual way
he told her he wanted the right to
hook her waists down the back."
Probably. '
Teacher And what did Adam do
after the fall?
Jimmie I'll bet he swore like a
pirate.

that he wishes to sow, he doesn't wait
