Our baby boy broke out with &C.

One place on the side of his face the
size of nickel was raw like beefsteak
for three months, and he would cry
out when bathed the parts that were
sore and broken out. l gave him
three months treatment from good

child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, third of a
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half

HOTEL MAN HAD A CONSCIENCE.
His Letter, with Enclosure, Surely
Proved the Fact.

Whoever says that hotel men are
without conscience will have an ad-
versary in young advertising man.
He was at one place up in the noun
tains the other week and determined
to stay all night. Before dinner he
complained of slight headache to
the proprietor, but the remark was
passed apparently without notice. He
ate big meal, but did not enjoy it
much because of his headache.
Next day he moved on to his next
stop. and upon his return to the city
was surprised to find letter from the
proprietor of the house where he had
spent the night. 1t said: Through an
act of carelessness on my part al
lowed you to eat the regular dinner
the other night-a dinner not suited
for man with a headache. Now l
should have prepared some eggs and
toast and tea for you. but l allowed
you to eat something you did not en-
joy. 1t is, therefore. my duty to apollo
gize, and to make restitution for the

but Agatha Sixth's gown was cream

dinner, and had just made the last
change OF places, which left me with
my favorite Agatha Sixth on my right

Woman Drives Motor Omnibus.

Miss c. de H. Benest is the first
woman driver of motor omnibus in
England. She was the only woman
to take the examination for motor en-
gineering recently held in London, and
easily took both the drivers certifi-

Why Didn't Shef

A little boy of five years, playing
with his sister one day, leaned too
far out of the second-story window,
lost his balance and fell into the yard
below. Very miraculously he escaped
being injured, and his parents and
friends were so delighted that they
gave him quite number of pennies,
nickels and dimes.
The next day, after he recovered
from the shock of the fall, he was
counting his money, and on seeing his
little sister enter the room, exclaimed:
Gee. Gladys, look at all the money /
got for falling> out of the window!
Why don't you try it?"-The Define

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingIy, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, bu. one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any deblitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

effects always purchase the genuine

Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

Let the Whistle Blow.

Did you know that short whistle
from the mouth would stop a rabbit?
1t surely does. Next time you see lit.
tie molly cottontail leap from her
burrow and make off, don't shoot;
just whistle. Whether from fear or
curiosity cannot tell. but she will
stop still in her tracks. An antelope
has been known to do likewise. An
African hunter once said that the ele-
phant is the most timid of all animals,
and can be frightened into cold
sweat by a mysterious noise.

however, 20 miles of main canal and

excavated and water was actually sur
piled to nearly 10000 acres in 1907.
The attractions of the Klamath coun
try are numerous. Its climate is mod
erately warm in summer and not ex.
cessively cool in winter. Usually
there is sufficient snowfall for short
intervals of sleighing.
The annual precipitation is between
Is and 20 inches, but little of which
occurs in summer. The air is. dry
bracing and exceptionally healthful
The sun shines 800 days in every yea,
and is rarely obscured for an entire
day. even in stormy weather. No de-
structive storms have ever occurred.
The soil of the uplands is mainly
rich. sandy loan, similar in character
and fertility to that of the famous
Yakima valley in Washington. The
marsh lands are composed of soil of
great depth and fertility. The land
will produce alfalfa. grain, the com.
mon root and tuber crops: soil and eli
mate are favorable for large variety
of field and vegetable crops and in ia
vored localities for hardy fruits. Ex-
ceptional opportunities, abound for the
development of the dairy industry
The demand far exceeds the supply
California annually imports 100000
pounds of butter while Oregon and
Washington also require supplies from
other states
The peat lands when drained will
probably be devoted to the production
of asparagus, celery and allied crops
Other industries awaiting development
are lumber. milling, canning and meat
packing.
The Klamath country offers oppor-
tunity not only to the practical farmer
and stock grower, but invites the me-
chanic and the laborer Thousands of
men in the cities, tired of the uncer-
tainties of their present position, who
have saved a few hundred dollars,
would find a happy change in the
klamath couI try.
This is the day of the small farm,
and no occupation in life offers more
substantial reward and solid satisfac-
ton for the labor and capital invested
than the operation of a small irrigated
tract in such a region as this 1t opens
a future of independence and comfort
and freedom from drudgery that can
not be found in city life. With small
farms all about there is no loneliness,
no isolation. The advantages of
schools, society, churches and many of
the luxuries of city life are enjoyed in
these irrigated districts. The irriga-
tor is the king among farmers. as he
is more Independent of local condi-
tions than other farmers. With sun
shine every day of the growing season
and controlling as he does the water
supply he can regulate crop produc-
tion to the highest degree of perfec-
ton. OF course capital is required,
the amount depending upon the indi-
, vidual and kind of farming he de-
sires to practice. The man who wants
home of his own, where he can rear
his family in comfort and independ-
ence, will find no more inviting place
than the klamath basin.

woman's Short skirt League.

A Woman's Short Skirt league has
been formed in London. The mem.
bers, according to Woman's Life bind
themselves to wear dresses which will
not sweep the floors and pavements,
and so gather up dust and microbes.
This is not new idea. In America
there is a similar organization called
the Five-Inch league. Every member
is pledged to at least five inches of
clear space between skirt and floor.
