Postal Card Too Small
Mrs. A. T. Neal, of Maryvil1e, MO-,
 says:A

"A postal card is to small to begin my praise of your wonderful preparation, Par acamph. My first experience with Para camph was about one year ago; my little girl was very badly burned with hot grease One of my kind neighbors recommended Paracamph and gave me what she had on hand, as we live ill the country and could not immediately get it from town. The first application gave relief. We used about three bottles and the burns were healed up nicely, although they were very bad burns.
 My little girl was playing and fell knock ing the grease ill her lap; she was burned on both legs from the knees almost to her hips, and in removing her clothing great deal of the skin came of, leaving her legs perfectly raw. have used Paracamph for great many things since then, and never like to be without itin my house. have quite a family and find it great task to write, but I hope my letter will reach you in time, as am a great friend of Para camph. could tell you more of its good works but guess this will be enough for this time. am always willing to sound the praise of valuable remedy"
 This letter should convince all mothers of the necessity for keeping in their homes bottle of Paracamph. This wonderful remedy is needed almost every day in the year. It not only relieves pain quickly but it heals all manner of wounds without leaving ugly scars. Get bottle of Para camph today, and if it fails to do what we claim for it and if you don't find it is the most useful remedy you have ever had in your home, we will refund your money.
 All good druggist sell it ill 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1 .oo bottles. The Paracamph Company, Louisville, Ky, U. s. A.

Is Andre Castaigne to follow the example
of DuMaurier and seek to turn from the
palette to the writing desk? Certainly the
production of this novel suggests such
possibility There is q faint resemblance
between the heroines, Helia and Trilby.
There is a distinct resemblance between the
stories In point of atmosphere and setting
But there is no SvengalI in the 'Fata Nor
CANA There are no musketeer students.
However, comparisons are unfair. The
stories are not the same in essential de-
tails M Castaigne has conceived beau
tiful ideal in HeIia, a pure woman despite
her temptations and her calling, that of a
circus acrobat. He has also created pure
man in Phil Longwill. an American art
student who loves Helia from his first days
in Paris, and later vows to make her ms
