AN ODD PROPOSITION.
Flirting All Right in Churches, but
Wrong in Theaters.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-While flirting in
theaters and other places of public
amusement should be tabooed, &C
cording to Rev. S. B. Dexter, of
Aurora, he has announced that it may
properly take place in church, where,
he declares, sit is purged of its harm
fuIness.'' His decision grows out of a
crusade against Sunday night amuse-
ments.
Church surroundings and associa-
tions," he says, "are entirely different
from those which attend perform
ances in public playhouses. Some
times the plays in our, theaters are a
trif1e risque, and if the show be given
on Sunday, the result is a general for
getfulness of that fact Under such
conditions flirting is harmful.
I'm church, however. I can see no
harm in a little Bit of flirting if the
young people come not to look at each
other but to learn the Scriptures"

HANDS AND FEET
ITCHED II YEARS
Suffered Terribly from Eczema
which Made Hands and Feet Swell,
PeeIand Get Raw Arms Affected,
Too-Gave Up Hope of Cure.
USED CUTICURA AND
WAS QUICKLY CURED

ct suffered from eczema on my hands,
arms and feet for about twelve years,
my hands and feet would swell, sweat
and itch, then would become callous
and get very dry, then peel off and
get raw. / tried most every kind of
salve and ointment without success,
only got temporary relief. AS soon as
would leave off using them 1 would be
as bad as ever. I tried several doctors,
took arsenic for two years and at last
gave up thinking there was a cure for
eczema. A friend of mine insisted on
my trying the Cuticura Remedies but,
supposing they were the same as other
cures had tried, did not give them
trial until 1 got so bad that I had to
do something. l secured a cake of Gu
ticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
and by the time they were used 1 could
see vast improvement and my hands
and feet were healed up in no time. 1
used several bottles of Cuticura Re
solvent. This was over a year ago and
have had no trouble since. / think I
am entirely cured. Charles T. Bauer,

New York, Jan. 19-Nicolo Minissale
an Italian of this city. who formerly
lived in Messina. has been in such
disaster reached him, that he refused
to believe that three of his children were
taken alive from the ruins as reported
in cable dispatches. He called at the
Italian consulate here. seeking confirm
alton of the report that his children
had been saved and although he was
assured that it was undoubtedly true,
he only shook his head and sobbed and
uttered incoherently that it was too
miraculous to believe.
Minissale has four children in this
country, who like their father can hard
ly give credit to the story of the safety
OF members of the family at Messina.
According to cable dispatches the
three children were taken alive from
the ruins after being buried IS days.

Few More Times.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 19.-"He danced all
night till broad daylight and he didn't
go home till morning" is what the So
ciety folks of Atlanta are saying of
President elect Taft.

truth for at midnightMr.Taft was waltz
ing in the capital city club room with
Mrs. Robert Maddox, wife of Atlanta s
mayor Mr.. Taft's train was due to
leave at midnight for Augusta, but at
that hour he requested that the train
be held so he might enjoy few more
waltzes.
Another Atlanta woman with whom
Mr. Taft danced was Mrs. w. S. Elkin,
wife of the president of the Capital City

Despite his 300 pounds, President
elect Taft's lightness on his feet was a
surprise to all. The women are eIo-
ouent in their praise of his skill as a
dancer.

New York, Jan. 19.-with both
complainant and the defendant in the
main issue involved still unidentified,
Judge Ward, in the United States cir
cult court today received briefs from
the attorneys who are engaged in a
preliminary skirmish here over what
are believed to be criminal proceed
ings by the federal government as the
result of recent newspaper statements
in connection with the Panama canal
purchase. The fight began in the
courts here yesterday when attorneys
for the New York World asked Judge
Ward to quash subpoenas which had
been served upon two of it's employees
to appear before the federal grand
jury for examination. The nature of
the proceedings was not specified, and
on this ground the validity of the sub
poenas was contested.
The briefs filed today followed ex-
tended argument before Judge Ward
yesterday. A decision on the point in
solved is not expected to be handed
down before tomorrow.
In the meantime witnesses who
have not attempted to question the
regularity of the methods used to Sc

Close shaves would be of more fire.
Quent occurrence but for the tender
races OF many men, which will not
permit of shaving often. Heretofore,
nothing has been said in these COL
umns about poslam, new skin dis

shaving. Its publicity and sales have
been confined almost exclusively to its
remarkable properties as an eczema
cure; 1t stops the itching at once and
cures the worst cases in a few days.
While the application of posIam after
shaving is one of its minor uses, such
as for pimples. the complexion, ETC.,

does for abrasions, roughness, and
severe scrapings what 1t does for all
