and the problem remains Of how to
superyise it. 1t is no easy
matter to determine, and we must own
that the constantly recurring problem
Is most vexatiOus and difficult, and q
source of constant study. There are
and must be plenty Of bargains offered
in our columns whose fulflment we
can not guarantee. Nor is it our duty
to attempt censorship beyond a rea'
sOnable point. No man can relieve an
other of his personal responsibility
neither can the advertising column OF
newspaper, however carefully d.
rected, do this, Whatever is done for
them, people have got to take the
world as it is, to see things as they
are. and to act or to forbear under the
inescapable law of individual respon-
slbllity. No mentor can command or

sit up for the late dinner only on
condition that she would not speak
except when one of the guests spoke to

The preparations for the feast had

school. When she entered the dining
room on tiptoe with excitement her
gaze lighted on some candied fruits,
ordered from the CITY, and arranged in
the best china dish in the centre of the

when my boy was six years old he
suffered terribly with eczema. He could
neither sit still nor lie in bed quiet, for
the itching was dreadful. He would irri-
tate spots by scratching with his nails,
and that only made it worse Nothing
gave him any relief until used the Cuti-
cura Remedies, and / cannot praise them
too much. A doctor treated him, and we
tried almost everything, but the eczema
seemed to spread, 1t started in a small
place on the lower extremities and spread
for two years until 1t very nearly COW
cred the back part of the limb to the
knee. Finally got Cuticura Soap, oint-
ment and Pills, and gave them accord
ing to directions. l used them first in
the morning, and that evening before 1
pat my boy to bed used them again, and
the improvement even in those few hours
was surprising, the inflammation seemed
to be so much less. ] used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills
and the Soap, and my boy was cured.

Microscope Saves LIYes.

One of the first lessons learned
in the use of the microscope was:
Keep both eyes open, but ignore ev-

scope. Unfortunately many of our
younger graduates In medicine seemed
to have learned this lesson so thor,
oughly that they ignore as unscien'
tifo everything which they do not dis
cover by the aid of chemistry or the
microscope, In a recert discussion on

attention to the greater fatality of
disease at the present time than for,
