BABYs ITCHING HuMoR.
Nothing Would Help Hlm--Mother Al
most In Despair-owes Quick
Cure to Cuticura.

Several months ago, my little boy
began to break out with itching sores.
l doctored him, but as soon as 1 got
them healed up in one place they
would break out in another. l was
almost in despair. 1 could not get
anything that would help him. Then
began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, and after using them
three times, the sores commenced to
heal. He is now we'll, and not scar
is left on his body. They have never
returned nor left him with bad blood,
as one would think. Cuticura Rene
dies are the best I have ever tried,
and l shall highly recommend them to
any one who is suffering likewise.

Where Willie Was,

There is a humorous story of Mark
Twains Observation-Disclosures" but 1t
doesn't match the following:
The Professor lat the dinner table,
oh, by the way, Mrs. Chopsticks,
have you seen your little boy, Willie,
lately?
Mrs. Chopsticks-No, professor, I
have not seen him since ten o'clock,
and l can't imagine what has become
of him. In fact, am very much wor-
ried about him.
Professor-Well, seeing Martha pour
me out that glass of water just now
reminds me of something that l had
on my mind to tell you some time ago,
but which unfortunately escaped my
memory. 1t was just about ten
o'clock, think, thai saw little Will
lie fall down the well.

The Still Alarm.

A tourist in an out-of-the-way region
Of England put up one night at an
amiable old ladys cottage, the village
inn being full.
Now, the tourist was very deaf,
which fact he took pains to impress
upon the old lady, together with in
structions to wake him at particular
hour in the morning.
On waking a great deal later than
the time appointed, he found that the
amiable old lady, with a commendable
regard for propriety, had slipped un.
der his door slip of paper on which
was written:
"Sir, it is half-past eight!"-Harp'

BY WAY OF COMPARISON.
Youngsters First Efforts In the Realm
of Natural History.

Four-year-old Clyde was a preco-
cious youngster-very talkative and a
close observer. He and his father were
strolling through the meadows one
morning when Clyde observed, for the
first time, some tadpoles in pond.
He waded in and cried out in delight:
"Oh, father, what are they?"
'Tadpoles son." the father replied.
please, father, let's take them all
home with us, then come back and
find the mamma and papa, and well
have the whole family in our pond at
home"
The father explained how impossi-
BILE this would be, and as he walked on
few steps large ugly frog hoped
across their path. Clyde's father said:
Look, son, perhaps there is the papa" !"
Clyde was very thoughtful. He
looked at the frog, then at his father,
then at himself and exclaimed:
well, father was there ever so
much difference between me and
you?"

ASToNlSHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well with Change OF
Food.

A great scientist has said we can put
off "old age" if we can only nourish the
body properly.
To do this the right kind of food, of
course, is necessary. The body manu-
factures poisons in the stomach and
intestines from certain kinds of food
stuffs and unless sufficient of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.
my grandmother, II years DID,"
writes N. Y. lady, "had been an in
valid for 1S years from what was
called consumption of the stomach and
bowels. The doctor had given her up
to die.
II saw so much about Grape Nuts
that l persuaded Grandmother to try
1t. She could not keep anything ON her
stomach for more than a few minutes.
"She began Grape-Nuts with only a
teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she took
little more until she could take all OF
4 teaspoonfuls at meal.
"Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
"The doctor was astonished that in
stead of dying she got well, and with
out drop of medicine after she began
the Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason"

If the damask is handsome the work
can be kept quite simple; a shallow
scallop and three small block initials
across one corner, about 21S inches up.
Instead of the three initials a mono
gram can be used set in medallion
of narrow satin stitched with row
of small dots on the outside. Some.
times the medallions are shield-shaped
worked in satin stitch.
On the linen a more elaborate effect
is better. Keep the scallop simple, but
in one corner have a monogram from

Neyin Quartet Sings at Church of
 Redccmer Entertainment.
 The Church of the Redeemer was we'll filled, in attendance upon the entertain- ment given by the Mems club of that church, last evening.
 David Stanley Smith, the organist of the church, was greatly enjoyed, espe- cially in a composition of his own. Miss Ruth Palmer Phillips, who gave small selections, is a reader of superior natural ability and achievement. She held her listeners in closest touch and sympathy. Her voice is unusually well placed and the resonant line Is sustain ed throughout, filling the large audi t6rium without effort and every word made intelligible. The selection, "A Cutting" from "A Tale of Two Cities, brought out rich expressive under tone with fine forward ring. Miss Phip- lips responded to recalls.
 The Nevin Quartet sang several se- lections in delightful and artistic manner. The members of this quartet are all New Haven singers. It is doubtful if four women's voices have ever before been brought together in New Haven with such individual ex- cellence, In quartet work their voices blend with utmost delcacy. Such shad- ing and melting of voice into voice is rarely heard The audience listened with closest attention to their exquisite singing, attesting their thorough en- joyment with vigorous applause. The most difficult part to fill in quartet of ladies' voices is the first soprano. This part calls for voice that sings high, true and with absolute boise. A false or forced note or the slightest discordant tone mars seriously the ensemble and the pleasing effect is de- stroyed Miss Martha Sprenger, who holds this position in the Nevins, has a lyric soprano of the requisite type and her bird-like tones intertwine among the others and gives the lls- l toner the impression of dainty vocal lace work The singing If the quartet rests upon the sure foundation of Miss
 Walkers low and rich organ-like cofl- tralto tones. New Haven is fortunate l in the possession of such a splendid singing organization.
 i Miss Treat and Miss Walker sang solos. Both were warmly received and appreciated.
