But the mother was ready. She
promptly replied:
Find twins and fall in love with
them"

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-Would
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

MY baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face
and feet Her feet seemed to irritate
her most, especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken in her
rest, and sometimes she would cry
until she was tired out. l had always
used Cuticura Soap myself, and had
heard of so many cures by the Cuti-
cura Remedies that l thought l would
give them a trial. The Improvement
was noticeable in a few hours, and
before 1 had used one box of the Gu
ticura Ointment her feet were well
and have never troubled her since. l
also used it to remove what is known
as cradle cap" from her head. and
it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time Now 1 keep Cuticura
Ointment on hand in case of any
little rash or insect bites, as it takes
out the inflammation at once. Per-
haps this may be the means of help
ing other suffering babies. Mrs. Hat

SIXTEEN ARE DEAD
ELECTRIC TRAIN DERAiLED AT
go MILES AN HOUR.
MATINEE CROWD is IN WRECK
Of Three Score Injured Two Dozen
May Die - Six New York Central
Cars Crowded With Commuters
and Matinee Goers Splintered.

New York, Feb. IS. - The White
Plains and Brewster express, six
car electric train on the Harlem di-
vision of the New York Central &
H~dson River railroad. jumped the
track at curve near Woodlawn
road in the Bronx tonight. bringing
either death or injury to nearly four
score of its passengers.
AT GAS o'clock the police report
ed that they had recovered sixteen
bodies from the wreckage and that
there might be other victims. OF
those removed TO hospitals, it was
said, a dozen and perhaps double that
number, will die.
The train left the Grand Central
station at 5:13 o'clock, drawn by
two heavy electric motors and load
ed with a matinee crowd and comut-
ers on their way home from business
in the city. 1t consisted of a COM
bination baggage and smoking car
and five coaches. After stopping at
125th street, the train was scheduled
to run express to White Plains.
At Woodlawn road the four tracks
run through a rocky cut and take a
sharp curve When the train reach
ed the curve it was running at a
speed estimated by some at sixty
miles an hour. Both motors and the
smoking car swung safely around
the curve. but the other cars left the
rails, plunging over on their sides
with terrific crash and tearing up
the tracks for hundred yards be-
fore they collapsed.
Of those instantly killed by far
the greater number were women
Many were mangled beyond recog-
milton. Many of the injuded were
quickly eXtricated from the wreck
age. while others were so pinioned
that they could not be taken out for
some time. Those most seriously
injured were hurried to hospitals
while coroners took charge of the
dead as fast as the bodies were re
covered.
Fire. started in the overturned
cars. but the flames were quickly ex
tinquished and the firemen lent theil
aid to the injured. Special trains
carried many of the injured to White

Is the Jew AssimiIable?

OF the material prosperity OF the
Russian Jew there can be no question
He will never crowd our almshouses
nor be serious drain upon private
charity. But is he assimilable? Has
he in himself the stuff of which Amer.
leans are made? One point in his
favor, declares Burton ]. Hendrick in
McClure's, must be at once set down;
his enthusiasm for America knows no
bounds. He eagerly looks forward to
the time when he can be naturalized.
An allen Jew legally entitled to citi-
zenship is rarity. He has no allie
glance to forswear, and he cannot re-
turn to Russia. The rapidity with
which the New York Jew adopts the
manners and trappings of Americans
almost disproves his ancient heritage
as a peculiar people. He objects to
being regarded as a thing apart. and
goes to extremes to make himself like
the native born.

Most o. us, If asked how many
points a star should have, would say
five, and cite the flag as proof; but
the director of the mint has lately cor
rected this Misrepresentation in an
swering an inquiry on the subject. He
calls attention to the fact that the
stars on the great seal of the United
States and on the seal of the president
are five-pointed. but that the stars are
six-pointed on the seal OF the house of
representatives; and further to the
six.pointed stars on the diverse of the
half and Quarter-dollar coins and the
five-pointed stars on the reverse. The
reverse of these coins is copy OF the
great seal with the clouds and stars
omitted. So far as known, says
Youths Companion, the six-pointed
star comes from copying the colonial
coins made after the manner of Eng
lish heraldry, which sanctions that
star. The stars on the flag are copied
from the Washington coat of arms.

PINE TREE BREAD.
KAMscHATKANs USE THE INNER
BARK OF PINE TREES.
fdacerate 1t in Water and Bake Good,
Wholesome Bread-The Pine
Keeps the Blood Pure and
The Body Healthy.

In Kamschatka the people live in
earth-covered pits. Mr.. KEENAN, COM
pares the sound of their language to
that of water running out of narrow
mouth jug. Their bread is made from
the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace
rated in water and baked without flour.
They are hardy race, the Pine keep
ing the blood pure and the various or
gans of the body in a healthy condi-
ton. Consumption is unknown among
them.
A noted specialist in throat and lung
trouble, who established a camp for
consumptives in the Pine Woods of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures
there have attracted great attention
from the medical world, says that one
half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, mixed with two ounces of ely
cerine and one-half pint of good Whis-
ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable. The
ingredients can be secured from any
prescription druggist at small cost.
Inquiry at the prescription depart
ment of a leading local druggist elicit
ed the information that the Pure Vir-
gin Oil of Pine is put up only in half
ounce walls for dispensing. Each vial
is securely sealed in a round wooden
case, with engraved wrapper, showing
the name-Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)

act, June so. 1906. Prepared only by
the Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O..
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure). which are being put
out under various names, such as Con-
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam,
etc. Never accept these as a substi-
tute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as
they will invariably produce nausea
and never effect the desired results.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near
ly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila. lady said, the other day:
"My husband and l have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion.
totally unfit, good part of the time,

dreaded to eat our meals.

Postum came into my hands. l made

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Rec.
oenize Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa.
ton of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec.
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec.
orations of the holy father. To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count, it was necessary
to obtain a confirmation OF title This
gave much perplexity to the candi-
dates.
The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill
grimage to The Hague-and also in
an increase in the price of these pom
tifical favors.
In the last few weeks the French
knights of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory
the Great, of Plus TX. have greatly in

zinc sup.rstition of s.an.n.

ne superstition OF Scdmen.
Seamen are superstitious, but their
notion that certain vessels are unlucky
seems often to be borne out by facts,
says Leslie's Weekly. The steamer
Saratoga, which was sunk on the Hud-
SON river several weeks ago by COL
lislon with the Adirondack, had long
been accounted unlucky by Hudson
river captains. Her misfortunes be-
gan by her success in getting aground
mysteriously and often when she was
new, though she had one of the most
skillful and careful of commanders;
and it was her way to get stuck in the
mud for good long stay. An unlucky
ship which had a very eventful history
was the Cromartyshire, which was re-
Gently wrecked off the coast of Chile.
She was built in Scotland in 1879, and
her quarter century of life was full of
tragedy. On July 4, 1898, she sank the
French liner La Bourgogne in col
,lision, 562 lives being lost. A few
years ago she caught fire, narrowly es-
Gaping total destruction, and her cap

Fire Record for Last Year.

The fact that when a servant be-
comes master a cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
IL months covered by summing up
of these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives We're
lost and more than $500, 600, 900 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own
Last year, owing to the devastating,
fire that followed the earthquake in
San Francisco, this loss was in great
excess of the average, but the average
for some years past has been 300
10000 a year.
