LiScis on DOGS.

After all, man does not remember
the dogs good qualities as he
should. Look at the SMILES he
nses-"you lying hound" "mean as
a hound dog" "dog" and Glow
down cur" Man hardly can think
of lower name than one connect
ed with dogs. And in horse racing
the worthless ones are called
"dogs." 1t seems a little migrate
full when one remembers all that a
dog will bear from a man and still
love him.

The Columbia,

The new play Jet in which Miss Nan
nette Comstock is to appear at the Co
lumbia Theater during the week of Sep
TENDER 4, is said to be unique in at least
one respect-it is play of the south with
out negro character in it. jet" in this
case is not a color. not a commodity. as
commodities go. but the name of the prin-
cipal character in the drama. She was
christened Jessie, so the story runs. but
her family and friends soon shortened
this to Jet. and Jet she he's been called
SD long that even she may have forgotten
that she ever had any other name.
The scene of the play is in the cotton
country of Texas, and the characters are
declared to be true sons and daughters of
the soil. The play is said to have all the
beauty of the south, together with the
virility of the great west. Miss Louise
Lowell, the author of the play. spent three
months in Texas the past summer absorb
ing local color in preparation for the re-
hearsals, which began Immediately upon
her return to New York.

With Dandruff-Feared She
Would Lose Her Hair-Many
Treatments Were Futile
Baby Had Milk-Crust.
BOTH CHILDREN CURED
BY FAMOUS REMEDIES

For several years my husband was MS

nearly FIVE thousand feet Every one in that
high and dry atmosphere has more or less trouble
with dandruf. and my daughters scalp became

she would lose all her hair, which was very
heavy. After spending between five and six
dollars for various remedies. in desperation
bought a cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. After rubin: the Cuticura
Ointment thoroughly into the roots Of the hair
gently cOmbed the crust of dandrun free from
the scalp, and then gave her head a thorough
shampoo with the Cuticura Soap. This left the
scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff
and after the hair was dry I again rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment this time sparingly. into the
roots, and 1 am happy to say that the Cuticura
Remedies were a complete success My troubles
with dandrufr were over. although for long
time afterward / used the Cuticura Ointment
as at first. after shampooing. which kept the
scalp and roots of the hair moist. I have used
successfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called
milk crust on baby's head. and have never
found anything to equal them. You are ut lib

believe that the Cuticura Remedies are a bless

NO PETTICOAT RULE FOR BOY
HE'D HAVE 1T so, AND UNCLE
WILL DO STERN PARENT ACT.
by Court as Guardian to
Legally Beat Sisters
Bad Son.

Raymond Forbes is in line for a good
sound thrashing at the hands of his uncle.
If he doesn't change some of his habits
pretty soon he's liable to get it. and not
only one at that.
1t all came about yesterday afternoon
at the Juvenile Court in an action insti-
tuted by Mrs. Ella Forbes. the boys
mother. to have her brother appointed the
boys guardian because of her inability
to control him. Continuous impertinence
and Indifference to maternal instructions
was her general complaint against her
son.
Hes only thirteen years Old testified
Mrs. Forbes. but since his father died.
about two years ago. he has gotten an
idea into his head that he's man. old
enough to say and do what he pleases.
Recently this spirit has been augmented
because he passed an examination for
the messenger service. and in consequence
his conduct has been unbearable.'
Cite some instances asked the court
We'll. at one time answered Mrs.
Forbes. 'he told me no woman could boss
him. even if ii were his mother. Another
time he announced that l knew nothing
and it was pretty near time that L find IL

His mpertlnence appears at all times'
and often the rOOmers in the house nave
hardly been able to keep their hands OF
of him because of his conduct
My brother who lives with me. SAYS
If he had the legal right II wouldn't take
him ten minutes to prove To Raymond
that there are other people in the world
besides himself. Al! he needs is good
sound thrashing, and I'm not physically
able TO do it,
u want to ask you. judge, to appoint
my brother the boys guardian SO that he
can be properly punished when it's nee
essary.
Il agree with you. madam announced
the. court. "and shall comply with your
request"
The necessary steps were quickly taken
whereby Raymond's uncle who looks as
though he might WELD hair brush or
a willow. switch rather heftily, was made
his legal overseer. The mother looked
satisfied, the brother took on deter
mined expression and several people who
have been familiar with the boys conduct
toward Mrs. Forbes heaved signs of re-
lief
All during the procedure Raymond as
sumed nonchalant. blase air, as though
the action were excessively boring. He
declined to make a statement when called
upon by the court to explain his actions,
and smiled in q martyred fashion as mis-
mother recited the details of his unfilial
attitude

city was with a party enjoying an out
ing on the yacht Mandalay. By some
mischance he fell overheard. and before
those on the boat could rescue him he had

Although the accident occurred over
three weeks ago no trace of the body of
the young man has yet been found
