The YELLOW Streak in Us
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

There is a yellow streak in
human nature that causes us to
take pleasure in hearing or read
ing something to a fellow crea-
lures disadvantage.
1t is continually cropping out
No matter how good our inten-
tions, how honest our desire to
be charitable and broad-minded,
the pleasant shock of learning
that another person has made mis-
takes, has something to regret,
tickles our sensation-loving souls
On second thought we may de-
plore this fact and earnestly try
to dull the sensation of pleasure,
but the first thrill is always well
come.
Notice how a distorted story
about a woman's early life will
permeate a community, be passed
from lip to lip and be accepted as
gospel truth on mere rumor!
And it does not necessarily

or passion; any tittle-tattle will
do, just so 1t is something to talk
about. IA
Wherever man or woman
rises above the crowd, there you
will find plenty of people ready
with their tiny mud pellets. This
is the price every human being
must pay for fame, if it is only the
local fame of being the best
dressed woman in a country viii
lage. And some of the mud-sling-
ing leaves it's mark. People whe
never can know the person aimed
at hear these things and believe
them and pass them on with few
minor embellishments. Every

FAIRY FLOWERS

Way down in the Never-Never
land, where the fairies live, you
will find the queerest kind OF
flowers. There are whole gardens
full of them, and they are called
the "Iwildo" flowers. Every time
any of the children on earth say
81 will do it," new plant grows
up, but never blooms till the chill
dren really do what they say they
will.
Nov supposing your mamma
were to ask you to pick up your
blocks and you say, 81 will do it,
mamma" but you forget all about
the blocks and go out to play.
Why, there has been flower
growing for you in fairyland, and
it has a bud on it which will not
bloom until you go back and pick
up all your blocks.
For all the kind and good
deeds that children do, beautiful
pink, red and white flowers with
sweet odors grow in fairyland.
But when children do not keep
their promises the plants fade and
die. Then the fairies feel very
badly. But when the sweet flow
ers grow and bloom they always
smile and sing and gather the
flowers with joy in their hearts.
At least that's what the fairies tell
me,

LIFE or A PIMPLf
Compilations Are Cleared and
Pimples Disappear Overnight
Without Trouble,

The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one is urged to pur-
chase 1t without first obtaining an
experimental package. Everyone
who has tried 1t knows that the
fifty-cent box, on sale at NAL
strom's Goth and @ SITS. and 9Ss
Pacific Ave., the Grown Drug Co.
and all drug stores, is sufficient
to cure the worst cases of eczema,
where the surface affected is not
too large. The itching ceases on
first application. 1t will also cure
acne, letter, blotches. scaly scalp,
hives, BARRIERS and every other
form of itch, including itching
feet. Being flesh-colored and con-
tanning no grease, the presence OF
poslam on exposed surfaces, such
as the face and hands, is not per-
ceptible. Water and soap cannot
be used in connection with 1t, as
these irritate and prolong skin
troubles, sometimes even causing
them.
As to the experimental package
of poslam, 1t can be had free of
charge by mail OF the Emergency
Laboratories, 80 West Twenty
fifth Street. New York. 1t alone
is sufficient to clear the complex
ion overnight. and to rid the facs
