Rats Killed the Snake,

Two big gray rats fought battle
with a rattlesnake the other day and
the rats won. The snake was pur-
chased by a grocery firm in Dalton,
Ga, for window display and two big
rats were obtained as food for the
snake. When the rats were placed in
the cage with the snake 1t made no
effort to molest them. A crowd gath
cred to witness the snake eat the
rats, but II was over an hour before
the rattler moved to attack. The
rats showed fight from the start.
While the snake was after one the
other would be plunging its teeth into
the snakes body. After an hour
the snake succumbed. One rat was
nearly dead, while the other apparent.
ly was unharmed. AS tribute to
its valor, the unhurt rat was released.
The rattler measured seven feet In

LITTLE BABY

Tried an Ointment which Made II

CURED WITHOUT A

"About n year and eight months ago
my baby, aged ten months, was sitting
on the mat beside the fender and we were
preparing the breakfast when the frying
pan full Of boiling grease was upset and
it went all over one side of the baby's
face and head. One Of the family ran
and wiped the scald with n towel and
you may think what a mess she made,
pulling the entire skin Off. We took her
to a chemist who told us to get doctor,
which we did. He tended her n week
and gave me some stun like lard TO put
on. But IL all festered and / thought
the baby was disfgured for life. A
woman close beside me told mo TO try
Cuticura Ointment. / used about three
boxes and IL was wonderful how IL healed.
In about five weeks IL was better and
there wasn't n mark TO tell where tho
scald had been. People used TO ask mo
that was the baby that was scalded
and they would hardly believe me when
told them she was and what cured her
face. Her skin is just like velvet and ]
have never been without Cuticura since.
Cuticura cured three other children OF
ringworm besides, so have good cause
TO thank it for what IL has done. Mrs.

ONLY ONE GOOD REASON
state Should Compel All Healthy Men
to Marry, Says Rev. Hopkins.

Chicago, Nov 22-"There is only one
good reason for not getting married and
that is i'll health said the Rev. Fred
crick E. Hopkins last night in Pilgrim
Congregational church. "A medical ex-
animation for matrimonial purposes has
more to commend it than such an ex-
animation for life insurance.
The state should compel men to
marry for the same reason it compels
education and in some countries mill
tary service. 1t is for the welfare of
the state that there should be the larg-
est number Of homes. and normal and
regular increase of population.
Brutality and criminality are usual
ly the only valid reasons for divorce,
and when granted for such reasons
neither party should be permitted to
marry again in less than three years,
end in most cases the offending party
never.
IF after a suitable acquaintance a
girl would like to marry a man, but
he does not ask her. then let her ask
him. Why not? If she wants him she
will probably give him a good many
hints anyhow, so why not speak right
cut and ask for what you want? 1t
is a useless conventionality and a silly
custom anyway we look at it to stick
to the old-fashioned way.
Some young men are simply too BASH
full for their own good, and a nice girl
ought to help out a little"
