Bedouins and Water.

1t is not unusual to hear a Bedouin
upon reaching a camp where water is
offered him refuse it with the remark

'Bedouins' long marches across dry
countries the size of the water skins
is nicely calculated to just outlast the
journey, and they rarely allow them

a Town poubIy Incorporated.

A peculiar complication has arisen
in Oregon over the question whether
town incorporated two times over
is legally Incorporated at all. a
senate bill and a house bill incor-
porating the town Of Adams in Una.
tilla county were passed by both
houses and reached the governor,
who signed them both. They were
supposed to be exactly alike, but
on examination it was found that the
boundaries are slightly differently de-
fined. In the bill which last became
law and thus superseded the first bill
the boundary lines do not go com
pletely around the town.

Horace GreeIey's Opinion.

Chauncey M. Depew has told of find.
ing visitor in Horace Greeley's edi-
torial room when he made a call there.
The editors patience had evidently
been almost exhausted. and as he
wrote on steadily he would give an
occasional kick toward the caller, who
every now and then put in a word.
Finally turning around, Greeley said:
Tell me what you want. Tell me
quick, and in one sentence" The man
said; 81 want a subscription, Mr..
Greeley, for cause which will pre-
vent a thousand Of our fellow beings
from going to hell" Greeley shouted:
II will not give you a cent. There
don't half enough go there now" As
Greeley was a Universalist, this reply
was not so severe as it sounded.

BABY WEATHER.
Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
DAYS.


Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of a baby is
always anxious for the health Of her
little one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even In spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more nee
essary than ever.
Our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The phys
ician said his digestion was very bad
and that If it had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food, feeding it several times the f1rst
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and f1eshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life. for he
was q very, very Ill baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
I'VE grown-ups In our family all use
GrapeNuts and also Postum in place
of coffee with the result that We never
any OF us have any coffee Ills. but are
well and strong" Name given By Pos
tum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in babies or adults Is
because the starch of the grain ID pre-
digested and does not tax tho bowels,
nor ferment like white bread, potatoes
and other forms of starchy food.

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
PureSt Of EnoIIients and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For TorturIng, DisflguTing
Skin Hum0urs
And Purest and Sweetest Of
Toilet Em0i|ientS.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
Ing, disfguring humours Of the skin and
scalp, including loss. OF hair, ever
compounded, In proof of which a
single amounting preceded by hot bath
@ith Cuticura Soap, and followed in
the severer cases, by dose of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, is often sufficient to
afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permit rest and
sleep, and point to speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
30 in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hu-
mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair, hands and feet,
from infancy to age, far more effect
ually, agreeably and economically than
the most expensive of toilet emollients.
Its "Instant relief for skin-tortured

ing" or "One-night treatment of the
hands or <eet," or 8. Single treatment
of the hair" or "Use after athletics"
cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring,
or any sport, each in connection with
the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient
evidence Of this.

TO REDUCE ARMAMENT.
Resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Gibson.

Representative Gibson of Tennessee to-
day introduced a resolution directed toward
the reduction of the naval armament OF
maritime nations of the world. The resolu-
ton is preceded by a preamble declaring
that the struggle for superiority between
the nations must result in a continuous IN
crease of the armament. As remedy the
resolution provides that the President snail
be authorized:
ITO open negotiations with such and SO
many OF the maritime nations of the earth
as he may deem eXpedient for the purpose
of formulating some international agree
ment whereunder and whereby the naval
ornaments of each nation shall be reduced
TO the minimum consistent with the ade-
auate policing of its own waters and SHORES
and the protection of its own citizens IN
other lands; with the International sup
preston of piracy, priVateering and letters
of marque on the high seas, and with the
efficient enforcement of international obll-
cations and the maintenance of the inter-
national peace"
1t also IS ,
Resolved That it is the judgment of TINS
Congress that all naval ornaments for the
purposes of aggression or menace are not
justified by any policy consistent with the
peace of the world and the welfare OF man
