power of the world2 UNLESS A MAN HAS HIS AIM HE rs
NOT A MAN in any large or enduring sense.
Not only should a sutton have a large purpose himself, but he
should hold the proper view Of the woman, should think Of her as a
HELPMEET, should be willing and glad to recognize her ability to
aid him in his life work. Woman is a MIGHTY FACTOR in the
progress of the world, and a true man will realize this and will en-.
courage her to help him.
The happiest marriage results when both husband and wife have
this large aim and when both work together for its realization.

"CUTICURA REMEDIES
ARE UNEXCEulED"

"About a year ago I was d sufferer
from skin, scalp, and blood humors.
For four months I used various rene
dies prescribed to me for their treat
ment, but they gave only temporary
relief and then the distressing blood
humors were back as usual. I finally
lost all hopes of getting cured of this
ailment. But a friend induced me to
give the Cuticura Remedies a fair trial.
He had been troubled with the same
disease and said he had been per1na-
nently cured by Cuticura. So I got the
whole treatment, consisting Of Cuticura.
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura
Resolvent, and after l began the treat.
ment I could see and feel that it was a.
success. The Cuticura R~esolvent is,
certainly Of great value as it %cleanses
the system of all humor germs and makes
digestion easy. I used two complete
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and I
can say this much. that l was perma-
nently cured by them. l want to say
further, that these Remedies are un-
excelled in curing the worst forms OF
skin and scalp humors. S. D. Phillips,

Work a Cure For the Hobo.

"AGRANCY in the United States is a NATIONAL PROB

Our present methods Of treating Migrants err in being
neither sufficiently repressive to the vagrant by intention nor
sufhcently helpful to the accidental wayfarer. Preventive measures
must DO based on two principles. First, that the able bodied vagrant
must WORK for what he receives; and, second, that the punishment
Tor Intentional vagrancy must be so severe and so conspicuous as to
act as a STRONG DETERRENT.
: The moving on of arrested Migrants should cease. They should be
sentenced to hard labor, and the sentences of convicted Migrants
should be cumulative. They should not be lodged in police stations.
"A municipal lodging house with work test should be established in all
cities having a vagrancy problem. Compulsory bathing, fumigation
of clothing, sanitary sleeping quarters and adequate food, in return
for reasonable labor, serve to EDUCATE both the vagrant and the
public. a., ...

at least one compulsory labor colony for habitual Migrants should
be established i'll each state. Even if such treatment fails to better
or to cure the vagrant, it will have rendered him HARMLESS for
a time to society and at an expense slight in comparison with what he
might cost society if free, and his incarceration will act as a deterrent
and warning to others.
