SIMPLY SURPRISING
CURE IN CUTlCURA

eft is q great pleasure for me and I
consider IL a duty 10 inform you what
Cuticura has done for me. Aboun
twelve years ago, l contracted an erup-
ton Of the scalp consisting OF small
pimples, about the size Of q pinhead,
which filed after a few days with pus
and which hurt Tremendously. l tried
washed my head with sulphur and APP
piled a carbolic ointment. After a few
DAYS the pimples disappeared, only to
come back again in a week. This I
suffered for ten years and then / saw
IN advertisement in the paper Of the
wonderful cures by Cuticura. / bought
A cake Of Cuticura Soap, a box Of Cuti-
cura Ointment and q bottle Of Cuttcura
Pills and after three weeks / had used
only half the Soap and Ointment and
my head was as clean a. ever before.
After the first application It was simply
surprising how i improved; c..
and Ointment for scales on the scalp and
after having used them three times her
head was clear and the hair became as
soft and hne as silk. Since then she
uses nothing but Cuticura Soap for
~shampooing.
I'm consequence Of my having used
CutiourR Soap for shampooinR, / no.
ticed that my hands which almost al
ways were cracked from handling un-
Nhite and V~elvety. Formerly I used
Gycerine, but n nights treatment
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment does
more for my hands than q weeks treat
ment with glycerine. I hope ali su1-

Menaoe Of the Noisslsss Gun.

The noiseless gun must be re-
garded as one of the most sue
cessful Inventions of the day. AS
means of securing that secrecy
in warfare which is essential to
successful tactics, it is equal in
Importance to smOkelesSpOwder.
To meet the attack of an enemy
that can be neither seen nor
heard will be problem indeed,
and the inventor is to be con-
graduated upon having intro
duced into warfare one more OF
those exacting conditions which
are tending to make modern war
fare so costly and destructive as
to prohibit it altogether. In so
far as the Maxim gun silencer
renders war more ditficqlt,it may
be regarded as making Indirect
~ for the preservation of peace,
and, therefore, if we choose to
so regard it, for the betterment
OF international conditions.
II it were possible to confine
the possession of the new weapon
to the military, for whose use,
and for whose use alone, it was
designed, we would have moth
ing to say against the device.
But it cannot be denied that the
appearance of this gun has
greatly enlarged the opportun-
tiles for the commission of un-
detected crime. This fact is
clearly realized by the Police
Department, and already the
chief of police of Pittsburg has
taken steps to prevent the carry
ing OF noiseless guns, and has
announced his intention to pros
ecute, with the utmost severity
that the law allows, all persons
who are found in possession O.
the silencing attachment.
It is we'll understood that feal
of detection is one of the mos
powerful deterrents to the com
mission of crime. 1t is because
it does it's work so silently tina
certain races prefer the knife OF
the stiletto to the rifle and re
volver. The menace of thu
noiseless gun lies in the fact tina
the man with murder in his hear
may now dispatch his victim il
silence. Rarely does the burg
lar break into the home of tn,
private citizen unarmed; and We
it is fact, we'll understood By
the police, that the last thing ht
desires is to be driven to use ,
revolver. But the housebreake
who uses a "silencer" nigh
shoot the owner without Tho
slig htest fear of the report be
ing heard by Waterman or pa
troll, or even by the inmates o
other rooms in the house. TIL
new weapon is surer than tn
blackjack. A belated pedestria
might be shot, and the robber.
of his person carried out, with
out the police on adjoinin
streets having the slightest sus
piciOn that a crime was bein
committed. Not even the cove
of night will be necessary fo
the concealment of deeds of vic
lence. The fatal bullet can b
sent to it's mark on crowde
thoroughfare and in broad day
light, without there being an
evidence of smoke or report
show whence it came.
The deadly character of til
noiseless gun renders it, in tn
hands of INSCRIPTIONS people,
distinct menace to society; an
we are strongly of the opinio
that it should be made the su|
ject of immediate and very stril
gent legislation. The princip
upon which such q law would |
founded is already recognized
the penalties which are attac
ed to the carrying of conceal'
e.

Forgotten by Death.

Once upon Il time, in the days when
things never happened, there lived
man who feared only one thing and
that was death. If he could live for
ever, he thought, how fine it would
be. Maybe Death overheard him and
decided to grant his wish, or perhaps
being busy taking off young children,
promising young men and women, or
parents who were needed. Death sim
ply forgot him. At any rate, the
man lived on and on. He outlived his
family. his descendants, generation
after generation. all his friends, and
the descendants of his friends. No
one knew him. and his day of useful
ness was so long ago that. having none
of the hopes, ambitions, or experiences
Of today, it was as if he talked in
different language. He lived on, and
on, and forever, but Death had fora
gotten him. and though he prayed to
die as fervently as he had once prayed
to live, he couldn't die. And If you
sorrow for one who has lost his life,
think how much worse it would be
to never lose it; to be like this tired
old man whom Death has forgotten

Tibetan Skull Drums.

A drum of an extreme responsiveness
Of nature is one used by the lamas Of
Tibet at some Of their church cere
monies. For this the craniums Of two
skulls, preferably children's, are taken.
and over the concave side of each is
stretched the skin of a snake. The two
skulls are then cemented at the YER
tice to either side of a wooden disk COW
cred with a cotton cloth, the stretched
skins being outermost. These drums
are often ornamented by having the
heads of devils and such like horrors,
the more repulsive the better, painted
upon them in red and blue colors. The
method employed in playing them is
rather curious. To the wooden disk
between the two halves cord is fas-
tened by which the drum can be sus-
pended and then rapidly rotated. Two
short cords with knobs at their ends
hang down in such way that as the
drum revolves they strike alternately
on either face and thus produce rag
ular "tum, tum."

NOTICE.

We desire to call your attention to the
fact that the Americans Liver Tablets
are perfect laxative. They are purely
vegetable and act as a tonic to the
stomach and bowels as we'll as a mid.
stimulant to the liver. The habit Of
constipation is one of the chief causes of
i'll health. Drinking plenty ofcold water,
eating coarse food, physical exercise,
regularity in habit, will cure large
percentage of the cases. Yet many
require a laxative at times and every
home should contain The American
Liver Tablets as part of the home equip
ment. The dose is one or two at night;
children one-half tablet. They are sugar
coated. They never cause gripping or
any bad effect. The American Liver
Tablets can be bought at any drug
store or will be sent, postpaid, upon
receipt of price. Two sizes, 10 and 25
cents.

to tell you that | was In love with Miss
Harden. but If Pm to be kept out of

noon. isn't it? Are you enjoying your
vacation"
Miss Darboy looked across at him in
Indignation and muttered to herself In
French. She was just about to an
nounce that she would descend and go
straight to camp when the bovine,
who had been quiet for a moment, be-
gan paving and believing. She
therefore changed her mind and hum
bly, asked:
Wont he get tired and leave us
pretty soon"
ut will take week to tire him out"
was the reply. Yes. | expect to be
! here for at least seven days. You can
zee how mad and determined he is.
You had better tie yourself to limb.
so that when you grow weak from hun
ger you will not fall to the ground"
"Merci. Merci. But you can't mean
1t. monsieurp'
"You had started for the village,
probably. When you don't return the
girls will think you have eloped. This
is just the season for elopements, you
know. Let me stand up and look for
the camp. see it. The girls are
running around in wild excitement. A
boat with man In it is draw wing near,
and you are not there to shoe him
away"
"Oh. my unhappy self" moaned Miss
Darboy. II shall be blamed. No one
will believe me. | shall be disgraced"
The teacher shed tears in French
and was quiet for few minutes. Mr..
Hope watched her and saw that a
mental struggle was going on. He
was too wise to interrupt, and pres
emily she said in very humble English:
MIR. Hope. does Miss Harden's
mother know that you love her daugh-
ter"
II was to have seen her tomorrow
to tell her and ask her consent to the
marriage"
"Mr. Hope. can the creature below be
driven away? interrupted Miss OAR
boy, with hope in her tones.
Possibly"
And it needn't get to the young
ladies' ears that was-was up a
tree?
Not unless you tell the story your
self"
And you could accompany me to
camp the same as if | had met you in
the village?"
Just the same. Yes, could ac-
company you to camp. and | could
take a stroll with Miss Harden and
have talk, and you could let some of
the other fellows pay calls and add to
the Zest''-
Mr.. Hope proceed to drive the
creature hence"
Mr.. Hope dropped his handkerchief
to the grass, and while the bull was
shifting at it the young man swung
down and grabbed him by the tail and
twisted and shouted. Away went the
frightened bovine on gallop, and
Miss Darboy was assisted down. Two
hours later she was saying to her
campers:
Young ladies, beg to announce
that the restriction against male WIS.,
itors to this camp has. for good and
sufficient reasons, been withdrawn.
No applause please"
