BECAME THE SLAVE OF HABIT.
Former Prison Warden Could Never
Forget Early Training.

A Boston psychologist was recently
reminded of the story Of the Russian
TALLER who. changing his occupation,
found the chief interest Of his leis-
ure moments in catching birds, put.
ting them in cages, and selling them
to the highest bidder.
The scientist having to attend a Sc
ries of lectures in large public hall
struck up acquaintance with the Jan.
itor Of the building, and soon noted
In him a suggestive bent of mind.
The man seemed fond of counting the
people, and would occasionally report
the exact number present. I'VE have
115 here tonight" he would say, or
Just POI all told" or. when the hall
was crowded: 81 make it 370." There
was problem in all this. but 1t took
some time for the psychologist to
solve it.
A bit Of friendly, familiar talk, con-
tinually renewed. did the business,
for 1t brought out The fact that the
janitor had spent many OF the pre-.
vious years of his life as warden In
an eastern prison. With rifle on
| shoulder, from some inclosing wall
the man had counted his convicts un.
til the habit became ingrained. In
the recesses of his brain the lecture
hall took the shape of Jail yard
and the audiences were his prisoners
He counted because he wished to
know II all were there.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
itching, Buralae Skin Disease Routed without
Use Of lalurieus Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets OF
their discoveries. Practically the same
thing happened In the medical world
In the case OF DR.. Decatur d. Dennis,
the eminent skin specialist OF Chicago.
DR.. Dennis in his own office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil OF wintergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies was prac-
tically a sure specific for Eczema,
psoriasis, BARRIERS itch, ralt rheum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil Of wtntcrgreen alone was found
ineffective. 1t required other mild
ingredients such as glycerine and thy
mol compounded with the winter
green to produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded D. ID. ID. Pre-.
scrip,ion positively takes away the
itch at once-the instant 1t IS applied
to the skin. This vegetable liquid
does away with deleterious drugs SO
long used In an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has de.
termined that eczema Is first and all
the time skin disease.

A Stunning Surprise.

Congressman George W. Taylor was
talking in Demopolis, Ala, about the
hard times.
Hard times are bound to be full of
unpleasant shocks and stunning sur
prises," he said. II remember the last
panic and a sermon that a Mobile pas
tor preached.
THE pastor, in powerful discourse,
urged economy and retrenchment on
his congregation. In view of the hard
times there should be no extrava-
gance, no useless expenditure, he said,
but every outgo ought to be pared
down
His strong sermon had swift and
unexpected effect. The congregation,
before dispensing, held church meet
ing and unanimously reduced the
mans salary from $4,000 to $500"

IT Is novel idea that any man over
30 years of age who commits a crime
may be set down, as a rule. to be NOR.
ally bad, with no hopes Of improve
ment. Morality, according to DR..
Belfield, who advances the theory,
is the arrest of the instincts by the
intellect, says the Chicago Journal

to improve slowly he has a chance
to outgrow his tendencies before he

thus suggested. But permanent seq

equally effective. We do not go so
far as DR.. Belfield as to believe that a
man over 30 who commits crime

One experience of punishment has
peeh ehouSh ior many men past that
age.
But when man is undeterred by
punishment and goes on committing
one crime after another, then we
think society owes 1t to itself to take
stern measures. Such man should
