CHILD ATE CUTIcURA Spread Whole Box of It on Crackers Not the Least Injury Resulted. THUS PROVEN PURE AND SWEET

A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
 My three year old son and heir, after being put to bed on a trip across the Atlantic, investigated the state room and located box of graham crackers and q box of Cuticura oint- ment. When a search was made for the box, 1t was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box-spread on the crackers. It cured him of had cold and I don't know what else"
 No more conclusive evidence could be offered that every ingredient of Cuti- cura Ointment is absolutely pure, sweet and harmless. If 1t may be safely eaten by a young child, none but the most beneficial results can be expected to at tend it's application to even the tender est skin or youngest infant.

as to whether the laws passed at tpe recent session of the general assembly went into effect upon passage or be- came operative June 1, or Jan. l. The chief confusion seems to be Ill relation to the revised laws. The newly revised laws will not go into effect until Jan uary.
 Nearly all the laws passed during the general assembly session, such as the new militia law, the amendments to the automobile laws and the numer- ous amendments to various otfer laws, have already become operative. One of the laws amended during the session which, however, has not gone into effect. is the so-called anti elopement and new marriage law which amends the statutes relating to domestic relations. This law, which requires five days prior notice before marriage license can be issued, does not go into effect until Jan l.

unfortunately, been left alone in the

wholly adequate for his immediate or flu

which was fairly well equipped with the
literature of his profession, but this was
merely to take away the reprOach of his

was the rendezvous for a variety of com
mittces to which he was appointed by
such unrelated bodies as the Clarkson
Dramatic Club and the Diocesan Board
of Missions of the Episcopal Church. He
appeared every Sunday, at the cathedral,
which was the fashionable church in
Ga rkson. where he passed the plate for
the aims and oblations of the well-dressed

Planning to Signal Mars.

Prof. William II. Pickering of Harvard
now suggests a method of flashing signal
messages to the planet Mars at the time
that Mars approaches the earth to with
in $4,000, 600 miles. next July, or 5000
600 miles nearer than ever before. His
plan is to use a series of mirrors so ar
ranged as to present a single rejecting
surface toward the planet and forming a
continuous rejecting surface over q quar-
ter Of a mile square. The mirror would
have to be attached to one great axis
parallel to that of the earth and run by
motors SO planned as to like a complete
revolution every twenty-four hours. thus
carrying the rejecting surface around
with the axis once q day. This system
would cost $4,000, 600.
This suggestion. has been received with
amused scepticism by the astronomers
now in Paris attending the international
congress to map the heavens. Camille
Flammarion says that communication
with Mars is entirely within the bounds
of possibility. as every condition points
to the probability that Mars is inhabited
by animal life.

aloud of the past tragedy and to pro-
nounc these accurSed names. He made
no reply, but fled. l was more fortu-

spoke a little French. He gave me this
advice:
go discreetly, so that nobody can
see you. There are spies and you might
be arrested as q partisan of the old

He wrote an address for me on a

At last one cab driver made it out,

the driver showed me some way off a
worm-eaten door. He dared not drive
right up to it.

old abandoned cemetery, all tangled
with bushy growth and alive with the

The guardian struck the floor with
his foot in two places. 1t was below,
but nothing was there to mark it. In a
corner two small wooden crosses, 10Th
implanted, were leaning against the
wall. One bore the name Alexander
and the other Draga. The ends had
been sharpened so that they could be
driven into the ground, but no one had
touched them, the points were still
white and evidently unused. No one
had rendered this last duty to these

expiation.

his particular bird before, and is una

the body and wings are those Of a blue
