Among the Brinkley auto en- thusiasts there's a growing ap- preciation of their cars.

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread Of the Scourge
OF Tuberculosis.

Only twenty-One prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment of
their tuberculosis prisoners. These in
situations can accommodate, however,
only 500 patients. In three-fourths Of
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber,
culOus prisoner is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the c~ongregate mode OF
prison life is considered, the danger OF
infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculOus
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi'
tai is in Manila, where accOmmoda,
tons for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos,

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but a little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified. minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, d%isfiguring rashes. feelings,
irritations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing is so pure, so
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.

Where Millions Are Entombed.

The cataCombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 6,o0o,0O
bodies. During the prosecutions OF the
Christians under Nero and other Ro'
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle'
tan the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
In the face of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter
esting. Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tOmbs. Now
and then are small chapels whose
paintings are to be found. All are
Bible illustrations, so that the cata
combs may be said to be a pictorial
Bible in effect.-The Christian Herald
