NASELlN VI.

Everybody knows the great value of this
remedy in the household, but everybody
does not know that the limitations of it,
which some second class druggists dishon-
orably palm off on their customers, have
little or no value. What should be under
stood by tho public is, that it is not mere
question of comparative value between
s'Vaselinen and the limitations, but that the
limitations do not effect the wonderful heal
ing results of the world renowned Vase
line,n and that they are not the same thing
nor made in the same way. Besides this,
many of the limitations are harmful, irri-
tant and not safe to use, while true Vase
line is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages put
up by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Co.
Attention is called to their Capsicum Vase
line advertised in another column.

Modern Surgery.

Seeing a man on crutches with his
left leg bandaged straight and a three
inch soled shoe on his right foot, |
asked about it and found that the shoe
was to lift him up so he could walk
with his broken leg in straight brace
with an inch or two of pad and board
on the bottom of his foot. They tell
me you can break your leg and go to
your business in three days: But ac-
curacy beats that If it prevents the
break.

Day of the Muscular Man.

1t would perhaps be extravagant to
say that there never was a time since
the days of King Arthur's round table
when physical strength and health
were so highly regarded as now. But
nevertheless it Is a fact not success
fully to be denied that physical Gull
ture during recent years has been
given more than ordinary attention,
and many men who are healthful and
strong have been remarkably success
full in the various vocations of active
life. The days OF the fop, the dude, the
lackadaisica1 dandy are past. The
popular society man nowadays must
be a huntsman, golfer, horseman
or famed for some particular athletic
quality.-Kansas City Journal.

ABOUT BABIES
AND CHILDREN

Be Kind

continue growing is the question.
Common advice is about as useful
as uncracked cocoanuts are digestible.
One mother confesses that the
theories which were successful with
her first three children were entirely
annihilated by the fourth.
A million babies daily cry for
drink of cool boiled water.
Smile on the baby just out of nap
and show happy face when picking
it up.
Good rules may have so many excep-
lions that they become dangerous in
common use.
One mother asked another, who had
a one-year-old baby, what she had
been doing the last year. Her reply
was that she had been giving her
theories a respectful burial.
The baby should receive discrimi-
mating attention Foolish and unnec-
essary worry that endangers the
health of the parent, and dangerous
carelessness which harms the baby.
are the extremes to keep away from.
A father of large family reported
their house. At one time they had a
two-year-old, a pair of one-year-old
twins and pair of one-month-old
twins. The neighbors had to help a
little occasionally on sewing, but the
children grew up to marry well and
win independence. They were bright
and smart-they had to be to get out
of the way of each other.
Recently one case has been placed
on record where a baby was smoth
cred in bed while sleeping between its
parents.
At an afternoon reception. while
several ladies were exchanging baby
wisdom, these reports were given: u

the new daughter, their first child

was sure the nurse put the little ves
on over it's feet but the mother sue
ceeded in getting it on over its head.
A baby is an appetite framed by
nature.

Paper cIoaks.

Some scientific genius has taken it
into his head to make us wear paper
overcoats. And why not? In the
large cities of Japan a sort of mack
intosh made of oiled paper costs less
than ten cents, 1t is worn by the
coolies who draw rickshaws in the

READING AS A SCIENCE.
The Acquisition of knowledge Proper
erIy Portioned Out.

Edith Wharton writes: 1.-THE me-
chanical reader, as he always reads
consciously, knows exactly how much
he reads, and will tell you SO with the
pride of the careful housekeeper who
has calculated to within half an ounce
the daily consumption of food in her
household. As the housekeeper is apt
to go to market every day at certain
hour, so the mechanical reader has
often a fixed time for laying in his
intellectual stores; and not infrequent-
ly he reads for just so many hours a
day. The statement in one of Hamer-
tons youthful diaries, I shall now COM
mence course OF poetical reading, be-
ginning with fifty hours of Chaucer,
and | gave him one and one-half hours
last night it leaves me exactly forty
eight and one-halt,' is a good example

An enterprising Georgian had bought
an automobile, became stricken with
the touring fever, and as result had
lost his way in Georgian wilderness.
A signboard nailed to a tree attracted
his attention.
1t had been posted where some
pious folk had been holding a camp
meeting and read: You Are on the

He went slowly on, and meeting a
farmer driving an OK team, he said to
him, after the patient animals had be-
come duly reconciled to the new con-
yeyance:
II understand I'm on the road to
hell. How far is it from here?"
The farmer eyed him for a few sec.

In the part of Australia in which I

said Mr.. Thomas Lewis of Adelaide, to
the Washington Post They are twice
the size of any l have seen In the

nothing to recommend them, for they
have no flavor. and are so tough that
it takes pretty sharp knife to make
any impression on them. Still, there
are people who manage to eat them
after they have been stewed sufficient

me to be a great event in his life.
One day he was playing around the
bench of q carpenter and accidentally
broke the workman's rule.
Not being discovered he quietly
showed the rule to an unnoticed posi-
ton and left the place.
But later he made a confidant OF his
mother and told her about it. She was
able to show him his error and to get
him to purchase a new rule for the
man.
The boy had a mother and she had
his confidence and the man had new
rule-nothing unusual in this.
Yet the man nearly half century
later thought it worth while to tell
about it and think it worthy of even
more space than am giving it.
