Another instance of refusal to serve
a man wearing the uniform Of the
United States navy has come to light,
this time In Philadelphia restaurant.
The occurrence of such episodes is not
only much to be deplored, but is puz-
Zling, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
One is impelled to ask for what reason
the wearer of a uniform, indicating
his connection with an honorable serv-
ice, is subject to slight and insult?
The right of the keeper of a public
house to exclude from his premises
any disorderly person is not ques-
toned. His right to exclude the we'll
behaved sailor or marine should be
questioned sharply. The physical and
moral requirements of candidates for
the navy are so high that the success
full applicants make up a superior
body Of citizens. The manner in which
they conduct themselves was shown
in the cruise of the Atlantic fleet.

THE PEBBLE IN HIS SHOE.

Down along a primrose way
Where gentle breezes swcetly blew
A pessimist Jared all tie day
And wore a pebble in one shoe.
His face was blacAened by a frown,
He seemed to bear a nameless dread.
He heard no music sitting down
Through leafy branches overhead.
Although the world was at its best,
With Peace untroubled on her throne,
He carried sorrow In his breast
And hopelessness was in his tone.
Down along a primrose way
Where gentle breezes sweetly blew
The pessimist Jared all the day
And kept the pebble in his shoe.

1T SEEMED INCURABLE
Body Raw with Eczema-Discharge

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for cure. Six months
ago we purchased set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured.
