CHILDREN TORTURED.

Last year. after having my little

edies, and was SO well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford.
ed that we discarded the physician S

the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Oint.
ment. and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene.
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble.
in July OF this year little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty.
four hours his hands and arms were
n mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies. washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap. and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent In.
about three weeks his hands AMI
arms healed up. So we have lots OF
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu.

People like mystery-mysticism
Some Oldtime superstitions are dying
ont, hui for each OF them q new on,

DR.. George T.. Vincent of the Uni,
vsrsity OF Chicago made this remark
Just after he had finished talk tc
students at manual training high
school. says the Kansas City Star.
"The first l ever knew of supersti-
tions." he said, was when my father
broke "a mirror at home. 1t worried
him. and asked my mother why.
Its bad luck she said.
Bad luck pondered. Why is II
bad luck? 1t was mystery to me.
But l began learning something about
these mysterious beliefs. 1t brings
bad luck to cut the cord on pack
age they told me. 1t should be un-
tied It's bad luck to put on the left
shoe FIRST and It's bad luck to get out
on the wrong side of bed No one
knows why all these things bring evil,
but many persons believe they do.
In the south SO many superstitions
originate among the negroes that they
are almost innumerable. No one ex-
plains the reasons for their 'voodoos.'
Some superstitions are sensible.
Fer instance. II is said bad luck will
come II one passes beneath ladder.
Maybe 1t will. Maybe some persons
have been taught valuable lessons in
passing beneath them. II is uncom.
Portable to have bucket of paint or
IN Ak dropped on ones head. Perhaps
this superstition originated from some
one who underwent such an expert

The belief that II you pass a pin
without picking II up you will have
bad luck originated many years ago
Pins were costly then and children
we're taught to pick them up and keer
them for their value They formed
the habit, and II has been handed
down from generation to generation
until II has become n superstition.
Perhaps some children who did not
pick mp pins had bad luck when they
got home-bad luck administered by

Radical Policies Run

More than IN amy previous year men
of al! parties have been unwilling to
tolerate the leadership OF tainted poll
tlcians or untried aspirants for office.
Insurance exposures rebate prosecu-

spite the continuance OF great business
activity, all combined To stlfren the
popular demand for square deal poll
ties and antl-monopoly legislation,
however people differed rs to partlc,
ular ways and means.
On the Republican side President
Roosevelt voiced this sentiment with
his successful call for the rate, pure
food. meat Inspection and Industrial
alcohol laws and through his open OPP
position TO the beef. railroad, coal,
sugar and other trusts, eliminating In
