a Speedy, Permanent Cure.
"Eczema appeared when our baby was
three month* old. \Vc applied to several
doctors and hospitals, each of which gave
us something different every time, but noth
ing brought relief. At last, one of our
friends recommended to us Cuticurn Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, A few days after
wards improvement could be noted. Since
then we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the j
baby is six months old and is quite cured. !

THE “TETRAHEDRAL.”
Attempted Solution of the Problem
of Man’s Flying.
It Is a queer thought that grave
and famous scientists sometimes be
take themselves in dead earnest to
the childhood sport of blowing bub
bles—not for sport, but to study some
very difficult and liard-to-understsnd
problems that trouble their learned
minds. Perhaps It is even queerer to
see a man whose name la known the
world over for his learning, his inven
tions, his wondorful mind and his
earnestness In the pursuit of knowl
edge, chasing after a queer-looking
kite and noting Its behavior, and do
ing this, too, In the most serious man
ner.
For It Is a serious matter, this
scientific kite-flying, and the work,
as it Is done by Dr. Alexander Gra
ham Bell, the famous Inventor of the
Bell telephone and dozens of other
useful things, is a task which he
hopes will some day result In a prac
tical solution of that most baffling of
riddles—how is man to learn to fly?
That a plane surface of not too
great weight, properly held at an
angle with moving air, will rise In
the air and Btay UP. Is a fact known
to every boy who ever begged rags
from "mother” for the tail of his kite.
The problem of "flying” is to get a

danger and stable enough to fly with
out a cord and to alight without de
stroying itself!
It would seem that If a kite of, say,
ten square feet surface would lift ten
pounds in a certain wind, a kite of
twenty square feet would lift twenty
pounds, and thirty square feet thirty
pounds, and so on. But, unfortunate
ly for this easy solution of the prob
lem, when two or more kites are ad
ded, each to each, they lack strength,
and, to get the strength, more weight
must be put into the frames and in
cross bars and braces; so that, when
the kite gets very large, Indeed, large
enough to lift a great deal of weight,
It weighs as much as it will lift! To
make a kite which would grow strong
er as it was made larger—a kite the
lifting power of which would increase
Just as fast as the weight, and which
would be Just as strong (in propor
tion) big as it was smali—was tho
first step In Dr. Bell’s problem. This
has been done, within wide limit*, and
the result is a kite called by the
hard name of "tetrahedral.” * * *
The tetrahedral kite flies easily; it
will rise from the ground without a
■man’s having to run with the cord,
except in the lightest of breezes. It
will fly in a dead calm if pulled fast
enough. It has no tall, and needs
none; but it flies more steadily In
some shapes than In others, and bet-
- ter with the cord at one place than
another, and these, also, are special
problems that will have to be worked
out to obtain the best results.—From

ganization is entirely too large for

“In the entire ninety-six counties of

"there are only forty-nine grain dis

thirty-two cigar factories, four brew

Tho departure of Secretary of War
Taft from Manila on the cruiser Rain
bow for Vladivostok Saturday was at
tended by a remarkable demonstration
on the part of the Filipinos. The
horses were withdrawn from the car
riage in which wore seated Mr. and
Mrs. Taft, and it was pulled by Manila
schoolboys from the luneta to the
dock through cheering crowds of citi
zens.
Mr. Taft started from the residence
of Governor General Smith at 8 o’clock
Saturday morning. He reviewed tho
long military, civic and school parade
on the luneta at 9, making a brief
address In which he thanked the peo
ple for their reception, praised the
course of the assembly and express
ed his confidence in the future of the
island.
Mr. Taft and party embarked at
11:30 and sailed at 11:50, the launch
on which they were being escorted
down the bay by a flotilla of harbor
launches with military and civic offi
cials on board to the Rainbow, where
they said their last goodbyes.
In an Interview with a representa
tive of the Associated Press before
his departure Mr. Taft said:
“I feel deeply grateful for the re
ception and entertainment given me by

Clipping Alfalfa.
A bulletin issued by the Indiana Ex
periment Station, says:
“The information we have concern
ing the clipping of alfalfa during the
first season is too contradictory to
permit of making any general rule.
It seems, however, that clipping has
sometimes been overdone, and that
young alfalfa should rather be allow
ed to grow undisturbed, so long as
it is doing well and does not bloom.
With early seeding, one clipping in
the latter part of August will gen
erally be advisable-. Otherwise, clip
ping should only be practiced when
the growth seems checked, or the tops
of the plants turn yellow. If not too
heavy, the cut material should be left
on the ground to act as a mulch. All
growth after the middle of September
should be allowed to die down natur
ally for protection to the roots over
winter.
“When alfalfa is used for haymak
ing, it should be mowed when about
one-tenth of it has come into bloom,
regardless of size. In ordinary sea
sons, this will be about the end of
May, the first of July and the early
part of August and a good field will
often yield four cuttings."

to quite a degree, not so much on the

Picking when the fruit was ill prime

gave far greater keeping qualities
than when it remained three weeks
longer on the tree. Cold storage pro
duced better rosnlts than cellar, even
if the difference in temperature was
