KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
timable 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 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, disfguring rashes, itchings,
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.
Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp,
sole proprietors, Boston, for their free
32-page Cuticura Book telling all about
the care and treatment of the skin.

How often do you eat this food7

How often do you eat this foodf
A short time ago there appeared In
the columns OF one OF the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection OF
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; bat If the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter OF fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
Quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food. being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
liness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions Of
health and strength. 65

Some Luxuries Needed.

Those stern economists who are
pointing out that the people of small
means ought to abandon "luxuries."
forget that even such people have
moral right to something beyond the
bare necessities of life. The rapid
increase in prices does not mean to
them cutting out more extravagances,
but forgetting the modest recreations
which have frightened for them the
dull round of daily labor. 1t would
be hard world indeed where one
could obtain just enough to keep body
and soul together, and no more

EAT GOVERNMENT BEAN SOUP
Hooslers Cook Vegetable Sent Out fol-
Seed. Says Information Received
by Congressman.

Representative Ralph w. Moss, whit
is making a red-hot fight to bring
about the abolishment of the so-called
free seed graft" threw bomb into
the ranks of the free seed advocatet
in congress by springing a surprising
revelation.
Moss has received information that
In Indiana beans sent out by the gov
ernment are being used to make soul
instead of being planted in the regu
lation way for the termination OF the
future bean crops. This use of the
government bean is something entire
ly novel. and Mr.. Moss believes tha
the information he has received will
assist him materially in waging wal
on the free seed business.
The information came to Mr.. Moss
in a letter from a former member OF
the legislature, residing in Terre
Haute. He says he can supply the
names and data, and is entirely Will
ing it shall be used in the good cause
of stopping the government free seed
distribution.
1t seems. according to Mr.. Moss in
formant. that packages of seeds SEN
out for distribution at a certain place
in Indiana have been opened, the
beans extracted and used for making
soup. This is not regarded as a fla
grant sin in these days Of soaring
prices for food products, but the
Terre Haute man merely sends in the
information to show the contempt in
which the government bean is held
out in Indiana.

NATIVE BORN; NOT CITIZEN
Ellis Island Held Not to Be American
Soil in Case of immigrant
Woman's Baby.

A child born of an alien mother.
during her detention at Ellis island
is not an American citizen. since the
status of the parent does not change
until her acceptance by the immigra-
ton authorities. This is the decision
reached in Washington in the case
of Mrs. Bahia Ouat, a Syrian, who
gave birth to a son while at Ellis Is
land and whose eligibility to enter the
country because her son was born en-
American soil puzzled the immigration
authorities.
Mrs. Ouat arrived at Ellis island.
unaccompanied and without money.
She was considered subject to depor-
tation as liable to become public
charge Upon her claim that her hus-
band was later coming to meet her
here. having tarried behind to dispose
of some real estate, she was detained
pending an investigation of her hus-
bands whereabouts.
In the meantime son was born TO
her, and as the immigration laws pro-
hibit the separation of families the
question was raised as to the right TO
deport the son as one born on Amer
lean soil and therefore entitled to cit
izenship upon coming of age. The im'
migration bureau, however, holds that,
broadly considered. Ellis island is not
American soil.

HAS VERY UNIQUE OFFICE
New Quarters of the Indian Commits
sioner in Washington Are
Splenddly Decorated.

Mention of government offices
brings to the mind of the average
Washington man a picture of great
room, Uttered, one may say, with old.
red-imitation undergraduates. hung
with drop lights, and ornamented
with electric fans.
The contrary is the appearance OF
the new offices of the commissioner OF
Indian affairs His rooms in the pen
sion office building are spacious, but
they are artistically arranged. Oiled
oak desks have supplanted the old red
ones. The floor. highly polished, is laid
with blankets of the Navajo and of
other famous Indian tribes, which are
gazed upon covetously by lovers OF
unique decoration.
On the walls are hung pictures of
Indians. civilized and primitive, and
on the grill work above one of the
doors is a string of pennants OF
number of the Indian schools. Ger
tainly no other government office is
so unique in appearance.

But IL Was a Hard Pull.

1t is hard to believe that coffee will
put person in such condition as il
did an Ohio woman. She tells her own
story:
Il did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said l liked
It so well 1 would not, and could not
quit drinking it, but l was miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv.
GUS prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for any
thing. Was emaciated and had a con-
stant pain around my heart until
thought 1 could not endure it. For
months l never went to bed excepting
to get up in the morning. l felt as
though l was liable to die any time.
Frequently had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away, and any little noise would upset
me terribly. 1 was gradually getting
worse until finally one time 1t came
over me and asked myself what's the
use of being sick all the time and
buying medicine so that 1 could in
dulge myself in coffee?
OO L IL SOuiN
quit drinking coffee and got some
Postum to help me quit. l made it
strictly according to directions and
want to tell you, that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy
to quit coffee because l had the Postum
which 1 now like better than the old
coffee.
"One by one the old troubles left,
until now 1 am in splendid health,
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more

can do all my housework, and have

pests that It was thought unwise to
turn loose in this country.
The fact that the destruction of the
trees was not regarded as an affront
by the Japanese authorities is evil
denced by the suggestion of the
Japanese consul in New York that he
would see that the next consignment
of trees was in better condition. AS
matter of fact, the trees probably
would not have lived had they been
planted. AS the species is a dwarf
tree thRy were all old and in shape
to blossom in spite of their small
size. Consequently their roots were
developed to a considerable extent,
and in taking the tree up for ship
ment the roots were pruned severely.
1t was thought doubtful by the
greenhouse man at the propagating
gardens whether they would have
survived the root pruning.
Being imported stock, they were
turned over for examination to the
department of agriculture, as is all
other nursery stock, and it was found
that they would be a menace were
they planted. The examination was
made by the division of entomology,
and it was found that the trees had
gumboils on the roots. as it were; fun
gus on the branches, and there was
no telling what sort of epidemic dis
ease they would have developed in
the leaves had they been kept long
enough to grow leaves
AS to bugs. the report of the bureau
of entomology gave names to the va
rieties as long as the names held out,
and then had to resort to letters and
figures, owing to the fact that there
were some specimens heretofore un-
known to science. Some of these
may be valuable bugs. Then again
they may not.
Consequently, there were a few of
the buggiest trees reserved from the
funeral pyre and planted out in the
experimental plot of the bureau. and
there will be an expert entomologist
with a dark lantern, butterfly net,
cyanide bottle and other lethal weap-
ons placed on guard over the trees to
see what sort of bugs develop. and
whether any of them can be properly
domesticated.
1t may be that the department will
find some enemy of the cotton boil
weevil or of the gypsy moth. Then
again they may find that they have
escaped an insect yellow peril that
will make the green fly and the army
worm look like selling platers.
Spring will tell what sort of in
sects and diseases the trees harbor.

are scrubbing and disinfecting a fresh
lot of younger trees, and when they
arrive the scientists hope that they
will be able to pass quarantine and be

SAYS WOMEN ARE TO BLAME
Lafe Young of Des Moines Tells Why
Department Stores Have
Grown.

A group of men were discussing the
parcels post system in Washington
and there was the general statement
that the big department stores gould
drive out the small country merchants.
Then Lafe Young of Des Moines, Ia.
made an interesting statement. THE
women are responsible for the big de-
partment stores" he said 1T all
grew out of the cost of delivering
goods. A woman would buy 25 cents
worth of stuff at a store and insist
that it should be delivered. The small
merchants could not afford to main
tain delivery systems, and they gave
way to the big department stores"
Yet. if Col Lafe would sit up and
take notice, he would see that nine
out of ten women carry packages.
whereas only about one man out of
ten will be bothered with even a small
packet. The evening paper is about
all the average man carries home.

WANT TO KEEP WARM? GO UP
Jump in Your Aeroplane and Soar
46 Degrees Warmer, Says the
Weather Man.

'If you want to keep warm do not
go south; go up.
Jump in balloon, aeroplane, any
old flying machine. Soar to an alti'
tude of several thousand feet and en-
ioy a balmy atmosphere"
The government weather sharps
gave this advice most seriously. They
saw the severity of the recent cojd
wave is confined to the eartb's sur
face. The higher the altitude the
higher the temperature. Meteorolog-
ical kites at height of $500 feet
register a temperature about 46 de-
grees higher than at the earths sur
face.

Meaning of Cemetery.

1t is not correct to say that "ceme-

The word is from the Greek "Koime-
terion," meaning sleeping place, not
the place of the dead. There is nothing
in the thinking that it was originally
intended to convey the idea that the
departed were really dead any more
than there is in the old Hebrew term

An artist was visiting the

vine, tree and flower growth,
and said: This picture is
all wrong. The grass ought
to be cropped off like a

ought to be little bunchy
beds of flowers cut in here
and there.

"Well, that's the way
your yard is, isn't it," asked
the artist. ct don't see
why you should like such a

day more confident than ever that
the day of aerial warfare is not
far off. The company will build
dirigibles about 400 feet long
with more than $4,000 cubic me-
tiers gas capacity and a carrying
power of about five tons. A pc
culiarly built shaft will be placed
in the center of the craft from
which projectiles can be fired.
