CUTICURA
OINTMENT
Purest Of EmOIIlents and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Tortwing, Disfigwing
Skin HurnOurs
And Purest and Sweetest Of
Toilet EnolIiGnfS.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
Ing, disnguringhumours Of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, ever
compounded, in proof of which a
single amounting preceded by hot bath
with Cuticura Soap, and followed in
the sevcrer cases, by O dose Of Cuti-
cura Rcsols ent, 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 a speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. It Is especially
so in the treatment Of infants and chill
drcn, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantilc hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
beautifying 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 emollicnts.
Its "Instant relief for skin-tortured
babies" OF "Sanative, antiseptic cleans
ing" or "One-night treatment OF the
hands or feet" or 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.

the prisoner guilty, but let him off with
a sentence of 80 days in the house of cor

made out it was discovered that there was

to the prisoner:

refusal to recognize the claims of the
nation upon him. 1t would have been
most natural and human for Daniel to
have reasoned himself into the belief
that disloyalty to the heather king
would be loyalty to his God and his own
unfortunate nation. But there were
three elements in Daniels character
which enabled him to adjust himself
most equally and ~righteonsly with
the conditions surrounding him. As q
follower of God he recognized Gods
absolute sovereignty in both temporal
as well as spiritual affairs; he kept his
eye steadfastly fixed upon God, and he
concentrated his purposes in God. And
as . direct result of this threefold re-
lationship to God, his walk among men
was marked by a practical contact with

fort in the duties and responsibilities

THE truest patriot which the Jewish
l nation ever had was Daniel serv-
ing faithfully and loyalty in the court
of the Babylonian king. Following God
and walking as a child of light did not
lead him to develop such a religious
bias as to put him out of touch with
the world about him. Rather did il
make him a deep student Of the polit-
ical situation which surrounded him.
And his masterful grasp of the affairs
of state in time gave him the oppor-
tunity to preach the true God and true
religion not only to the king, but the
nation as well. One man following God
was able to put the impress of his
personality upon the kingdom and rise
from slave boy in the heather court to
be prime minister over all that vast
realm. Daniel is a most striking type
of exalted citizenship. His life is a
practical illustration of our text in
its reasonable application to the every
day affairs Of the community. the state
and the nation. I cannot imagine q
more difficult place for a young man
to have been placed in than that into
which Daniel found himself drawn
when carried away into captivity. I
cannot imagine circumstances which

ers were doing the same thing and be-
cause dividends We're promised. How
ever, the reasonable certainty of per-
manence was absent.
AS a bait, in many cases, the stock
was sold below par, but still, at the
figure paid, lacks enough permanence
behind it, that is, real assets in the
shape of available property, demand
for profit, good will, ETC., to give the
stock a ealsvalue commensurate with
the price paidSfor the stock. In other
words, it is highly watered and sells
because 1T is doomed hard because
excitement is aroused, and people have
rushed to get, in on the ground floor
without opportunity to investigate Ell
ther factor-the permanence or the
honest dividends. This madness has
taken money from legitimate invest
ments, and for that reason the de-
mand for commodities of permanence
has been lessened, resulting in con-
stant depreciation In their price.
Values are not really reduced, but
people's1 minds and fortunes having
been turned into other channels, and
there being, therefore, less money
available to put into such commodi-
ties, the price, and not value, has been
deprecated.
This applies to real estate, which
for ten years has had a slow market.
1t is true, much property has been
sold in recent years, but prices paid
are much less than it's worth. Prices
of realty have not gone upward as
50, nd a11on
value which ought to secure a good
price for nearly any property in our
city.
,:Some claim that the price has gone
up, citing specific cases. But in such
cases it can be shown almost invaria-
bly, that there has been some special
reason for the rise. Such$ reasons are:
Street improvements sidewalks,
sewer, water mains, road betterments,
ETC.; also neighborhood deVelopment,
where a heretofore vacant tract OF
land is covered with neWSand desira-
BILE houses. These conditions raise
the value Of the once vacant land in
the immediate vicinity because it is
changed in character and changed
from the undeveloped into developed
property class.
'This does not prove that the price
of property generally is increasing.
It shows merely that value has been
added to a specific district. 1t has
changed the character Of the property
from acreage to lots, enhanced the
desirability Of living there, created a
demand for locating and stimulated
others to erect comfortable homes, all
of which goes to raise the actual
value, as is demonstrated by the high
er prices Obtainable.
1.-The same principles that determine
the true value Of commodities gener-

factors, but permanence and real divi-
