A HAND.
How It's Appearance Became Fam
ior to the Publfc.

How Its Appearance Became Famil-
lar to the Public.
The story Of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people is rather in
teresting.
AS the story goes the possessor of the
hand was with some friends in a photo
grapher's one day and while talking.
held up a piece of candy. The pose OF
the hand with its perfect contour and
faultless shape attracted the attention
of the artist who proposed to photo
graph it. The result was n beautiful
picture kept in the family until one
day, after reading Il letter from some
one inquiring az to who wrote the Pos
tum and Grape Nuts advertisements.
MIR. Post said to his wife, I'VE receive
SO many inquiries Of this kind, that it
is evident III people are curious to
know. suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture OF your
hand to print and name it "A Help
ing Hand" (Mrs. Post has assisted
him in preparation Of some Of the
most famous advertisements
There was 81 natural shrinking from
the publicity. hut with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture its use was granted.
The ease was presented in the light
of extending Il welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape Nuts, so
the picture appeared on the back Gov
ers Of many OF the january and Febru-
airy magazines and became known to
millions of people.
1t as probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising department OF the
Postum CO.. did not seem able to rcsis:
the temptation to enlist the curiosity
of the public, by refraining from Civ
ing the name of the owncr when the
picture appeared. but stated that the
mime would be given later In one of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the Forthcoming advertise
ments to learn the name of the owner
This combination Of art 1nd con-
mcrce and the multitude of inquiries
! furnishes an excellent illustration CT
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life Of large man
u%facturers. whose names become house
hold words through extensive and con
tinuous announcements In newspaper
and periodicals.

about four years & l was at
fiicted with black splotches all over
my face and a few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal OF annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that | was forced to
call In two of the leading physicians
Of my town. After a thorough exami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in it's
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year. but
the treatment did me no good. Finally
my husband purchased n set Of the
Cuticura Remedies. and after using the
contents of the first bottle of Cuticura
Resolvent in connection with the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment, the breaking
out entirely stopped. l continued the
use of the Cuticura Remedies for six
months. and after that every splotch
was entirely gone and the affected
parts were left as clear as ever. The
Cuticura Remedies not only cured me
Of that dreadful disease. eczema but
other complicated troubles as well. Liz

Mr.. Rockefeller's Views on Temptation.
J.rop, JInrOcr'S yNcol.jv

FROM 1iaTpcTS NOckly.
Young Mr.. ROckefeller's bible class
is one of the most interesting institu-
tons in the country. We are ALWAYS
glad when Its eader seems to us TO ex-
pound sound moral doctrine; always
sorry when any detail of his views
seems to lack validity. The papers
reported that on February 4 he talked
about temptation. using Joseph as an
example OF successful resistance to It,.
He %counseled his hearers to avoid
temptation. One ape quotes him as
saying: For my part, l believe that
the ordinary everyday temptations
that beset us are enough" So they
are; enough and aplenty. But did he
quote. with sympathy. as another pa
per reports. the confession of a fallen
youth who said his downward career
began "when he drank his :irst glass OF
beer?" We should class glasses of beer
among the ordinary everyday temp
taticns that beset us. and which are
rather to be dealt with with discretion
than fearsomely Stunned. \ lad
whose first glass of beer sends him
sliding towards Gehenna isn't sound
stuff. The fall of such a one does not
illustrate the dangers of temptation,
but h dangers Of ignorance and of "a
shielded incXperience. Don't teach a
boy that beer is Il deadly and wicked
beverage which all good people should
avoid. Teach him that beer is beer,
and it behoovcs him to look sharp how
he fools overmuch with 1t. Without
temptation there can hardly be man
hood or character. but the ordinary
temptations are enough. TO avoid. as
far as possible. the dangerous ones, to
deal warily with the common ones. AM.
to kick the G ones out of tho ROAD
is not that, OF something like it, the
right way? Shield children from all
possible evil: but as for men-what
comfort is 1t possible To lake with men

THE GOOSE WAS YANkED!

There were some stormy times in
the Congress over which the late
Speaker Crisp, of Georgia, presid
ed, and, it was occasionally neces-
sary to invoke the authority of
the sergeant-at-arms by bringing
out the mace, as his emblem of au-
thority.
The mace is a gilded bundle Of
ssticks, bound around with 6 broad
band and surn''~'.r.teou with a saucy
A n2crican eagle. When it is car
ried down the centre aisle of the
House everybody is supposed to
keep quiet or suffer the penalty.
The House was in turmoil one
day and a Southern Representa-
tive was presiding, having been
called to the chair by Speaker
Crisp. The veteran "Ike" Hill
was acting as sergeant alarms.
The disturbance became so great
that the temporary Speaker could
do nothing.
Seeing Hill in the centre aisle he
commanded: "Ike, yank tn e

RUNNING IN HIS OWN INTEREST

In answer to the charge of Hoke
Smith that he was running in the
interest of another candidate Judge
Russell, in his speech at Dawson
recently, showed that months be-
fore Smith entered the race every
grand jury in his judicial circuit
had unanimously endorsed him
for governor and that the Asso-
ciated Press, upon his authority,
had announced that he would re-
sign from the bench and enter up
on an active campaign for govern
orship. "This was three months
before Hoke Smith had been called
by God or man." exclaimed Judge
Russell,

ENTITLED TO a SQUARE DEAL

The Government Investigators
make serious charges against the
Chicago packing houses. The
packers deny the charges, or; rath-
er, some of them. Nothing short
of thorough investigation by an
impartial committee of Congress
will get at the truth. The coun.
try is entitled to the facts, and the
packers are entitled to a "square
deal" We are inclined to be-
lieve the Government experts, but
at any rate, a full investigation
will result in an improvement of
the conditions. There is little
doubt things at the packing houses
are far from what they should be.

GEORGIA ID AFTER IMMIGRANTS

According to an Atlanta dis
patch, Representatives from Rich.
mond county will introduce a bill
in the coming legislature seeking
to widen the scope of the state
board of immigration and make it
an effective working organization
for bringing desirable immigrants
into Georgia. Recently the immi-
grafton congress met in Augusta
and draft was made of the pro
posed amendments to the immigra-
ton act.
At the request of the congress
this will be introduced in the house
by the Richmond county delega.
ton.
Under the present act the com
missioner of agriculture is the of
fetal head of the immigration bu-
reau, but about all the authority
he has is bound up in the right to
have printed hand book of infor-
nation about the state, which is
to be sold to those who want it.
AS the demand for such publica-
ton would be far below it's cost, a
publication of sufficient scope has
not been attempted, especially
since no appropriation was made
with which to get it out.
With other widenings of the bu-
reau's functions, the new measure,
or rather amendment to the old
law, carries an appropriation Of
$40, 900 to be used within the dis
erection of the commissioner of ag,
riculture. Commissioner Hudson
is in favor of the proposed amend
ment, as the old act is of little val
lie or force.
