THE PAIN MADE HER FAINT.

For almost four years I had a
sore on my leg" says Mrs. Olive
Hurd of Madison, n. H., and this
spring doctor healed it up. l felt
fine for about a month, but had to
be on my feet a good deal. and above
my knee came a swelling as big as
my fist. 1t hung down and was as
red as if it had been blistered and
so sore that l could hardly get
around. The cords of my leg seemed
to be stiff and the pain was so bad
at times that it made me faint.
One Of the neighbors told me
about Sloan's Liniment, so | got a
bottle and put some right on. Next
morning l could walk ever so much
better, and / kept right on using the
liniment night and morning. 1t took
down all the swelling, and the red
ness and soreness have gone, too.
| shall never be without Sloans Lini-
ment in the house again, and will
recommend it to all suffering
friends.

includes, say, New England and New
Mexico. When the writer lived in
New Mexico, many years ago, it was
a staple amusement to bet with any
tenderfOOt during midsummer that it
would rain before five o'clock in the
afternoon. The bet was always made
in the morning, when the sky was
always clOudless. The tenderfoot in
variably lost, because it always
rained later in the day. In those
parts anybody could tell absolutely
what the weather would be without
a weather bureau. In New England,
with a weather bureau, no one can
tell approximately what the weather
will be. 1t is between these two
extremes of easy and hard guesses
that you must figure out the value
of the weather bureaus performances
in guessing. If the bureau gains
fifty-five per cent. over the natural
fifty per cent. of the law of chance
what should be it's credit eighty-five
or thirty-fve per cent? In the phrase

HOW'S THE WEATHER?
Official Foecaster Is Allowed a
May Tmned In a Scientific Production.

A fair day to the public means
day on which no rain falls. The
weather bureau calls a fair-weather
prediction verified though it rain all
day, if the rainfall does not exceed
.O2 Of an inch. This frequently oc-
ours. A rainy-day prediction is con-
sidered verified and one hundred per
cent. is allowed the forecaster if the
day is entirely fair save for a slight
mist or sprinkle of a few drops of
rain. Can you beat that? Further
more, if fair is predicted for any
territory, and the day is rainy, but
the rainfall measures less than .O2
of an inch, the forecast of fair" is
considered verified, and a hundred
per cent. is allowed the bureau.
Stationary temperature gives the
forecaster range of six degrees
above and six degrees below the
temperature of the previous day at
eight a. M; in other words, a range
of twelve degrees. Just try for your
self. You can't miss by using this
method.
Moreover, the total average" of
notifications of forecasts is made up
for the entire country, which includes

BIG TREAT FOR LEPERS'
Moving Pictures Give Many at
MOlOkai First View of World.
INTENSE INTEREST IS SHOWN

Several of the Unfortunate But
Eager Spectators Had Never Seen
City. Result of the Contribu-
ton of n Special Fund to Buy a
Machine.
. One of the most marvellous expe-
riences in the history of the Molokai
leper settlement came to the people
of that shut-in isolation a short time
ago when a moving picture machine
was installed in Beretania hall, their
public place of assemblage for their
entertainment
1t was not merely that they saw
moving pictures for the first time,
but for the first time to a very great
number Of them it was their first
glimpse into the world beyond the
narrow confines Of the settlement.
Very many of them had never seen
city until they saw those projected
on the moving picture screen. Ele-
plants, camels, bears, lions and the
other animals of the circus or the
zoo were presented to them for the
first time. Fire engines, police pa
trolls, moving troops, the thousand
and one cOmmonplaceS of the picture
machine came to them not only with
the force of novelty, but with the
effect of something unheard of and
undreamed of before.
Some months ago at the sugges-
ton of superintendent McVeigh of
the settlement a movement was
started to procure a moving picture
machine to be sent to the settlement
for the entertainment of the people
there. A fund was contributed, the
machine and a supply of films were
bought, and r. K. Bonnie, who has
Travelled the world over securing
strange scenes for moving picture
exhibitions, volunteered to go over
and install the machine. This he
did, and the greatest interest in the
matter was felt at the settlement.
Every operation of the process of
installing the apparatus was watched
| by nearly the whole population, and
when finally the first exhibition was
given wonder and excitement knew
no bounds.
In addition to the films that have
been provided by the donors for the
settlement Mr.. BONNIE took a large
number of his own films to exhibit
there for the entertainment of the
| people. So intensely interested were
they that no amount of repetition of
| the pictures seemed to tire them.
| At their earnest invitation Mr.. b.
nine decided to remain another week
at the settlement to exhibit his own
pictures often enough so that every
one in the settlement shall have OPP
portunity to see them and more thor
oughly to instruct some of the lepers
how to manipulate the machine, so
| that there need be no interruption in
the regularity or frequency of the
exhibition after he leaves.
1t is expected that funds for new
films will be donated from time to
time by the public in Honolulu, so
that the people at the settlement will
have new moving pictures to look at
at intervals. Mr.. Bonine says that
in all his experience he has never
seen such absorbing interest in NOV
ling pictures anyWhere.-Honolulu

Summer Tips to Mothers
Health Dress For Girls
Let Life Be Fancy Free

Dress the small girl sensibly during
the hot weather. Many parents think
this is the time to show the child of
by covering it with stifHy starched
lingerie ornamented with heavy rib
bon bows.
Who does not remember the agony
of stif1y starched skirts on warm
day? And don't you remember how
the edges Of those immaculate founces
scratched until you, fdgeted so that
every one wondered why you were so
ruffle on anything as a result of what
l suffered as child.
The summer months are precious
ones as regards the growth of the
small child. Little girls should run
wild in the fields and sunshine with
out ever seeing company clothes until
the warm days are over.
Some parents are sensible in this re-
spect. They dress the little girls the
same as little boys; you cannot tell the
difference. Both children wear romp-
ers and dig in the sand and dirt until
they are as brown as berries.
One mother who put her child's
health before her appearance dressed
her in a bathing suit all summer, and
she was well repaid by the glow Of
health in her baby's cheeks and by the
absence of the doctor all that winter.
Don't smother the little girl in a lot
Of clothes. Some mothers are so ap-
prehensive that their babies will catch
cold that they force them to wear fan
mel petticoats and long stockings.
They don't realize that by doing this
they are making the child delicate and
much more apt to become overheated
and easily chilled.
/ believe very much in the present
fad of making both little girls and lit
tie boys wear pajamas.
This is sensible. as children will
persist in kicking off the bedclothes,
and it is during the night that they
catch the most cold.

straw hat for your little girl instead
