I .> §£ 1 OCR EX-PRESIDENT AS A HEWER ' OF WOOD ! • . 1 Besides the farm work, the piece of woodland also affords Mr. Roosevelt opportunity -for exercise. He is a famous 1 axeman. Trees keep dying and firewood . is constantly, necessary, and this gives 1 Mr. Roosevelt work for many an afternoon throughout the year. Whenever . in Ik. ,-rtuH Mn.i hear the aeain,! 1 people road below sound

of an axe from Sagamore Hill, they 1 know that it ia far more likely to be 1 ' produced by the ex-President than by his hired man. His superabundant energy and vitality require some severe * form of exercise, and wood-chopping seems to answer the purpose exactly. Many a tree has fallen under his axe and many another ia awaiting the same fate. Moat of the firewood used at Sagamore Hill is chopped by the owner's hands — f From "Roosevelt the Husbandman/ by Henry James Forman, in the American Review of Reviews for August. VEXATIOUS PERSPIRATION ExceSsive perspiration is very annoying, but it should be remembered that it * is the function of a healthy skin to j*rrJ spire, that one of the duties of the skin - is thus to help the body get rid of its impurities. Perspiration within, bounds makes the skin smoother and the texture finer. This is one of the benefits of a hot bath or a Turkish bath. Even the Indians know the value of keeping | the pores of the skin open- by means | of the Iiot bath and the sweating process, which they employ in huts built | especially for the purpose. These baths are a kind Of gymnastics for the sweat glands, and cause them to take on a healthy action, stimulating them to net 1 normally if they have restraining their J activities if they have been too great 2 llAjrammer it is very annoying to 'have the forehead and face drip with perJ spiration and the drops stream down the face upon the least exertion. If the I perspiration is too free it becomes very j irritaing to the skin, causing the com | plexion to become blotched and covered (with a dull red eruption. Washing the face with cologne and water, or alcohol i spiration use a fine handkerchief and not and water, or some toilet vinegars, will i help this. After it, apply a non-irritat-ing face powder, in removing the per-anything-cnarsc or harsk/wuch as an ordinary towel. Do not rub the face, but! rather mop it. — Health and Good Looks," in the Ladies World for August.

iously threatened by severe drought accompanied with high winds Generally the corn is infolding its leaves during the day for lack of moisture. All truck crops are injured where drought pre vails. Pasture grasses and grass on t mown lands fail to grew, consequently there is a shortage of succulent food for dairy cows and other farm stock. To make up for this loss milk pror ducers arc compelled to feed expensive purchased feeds which add greatly to the cost of production. Peaches , whore orchards have been I been well cared for have enough fruit set for a full crop, providing rain comes soon to perfect the fruit, otherwise, much of it must go to market in a par- , tially developed condition. Early apples are yielding well; late varieties not heavy. Pears, norma L Early small fruits have yielded well. A dealer in a little farming cotnmun ity paid $34 per ton for rye straw last spring that they are now offering $5.00 l per ton, a price that will scarcely pay for carting. FRANKLYN DYE. Secretary.
