Gussie was knock-kneed, angular

as elegant as his figure was un-

With fast beating heart he stepped

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 q 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, disfiguring 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.

plvlna Extraordinary.

Italy is nothing If not artistic, so
even in their swimming contests art
finds a place, In addition to the ordi-
nary acrobatic feats and the tests OF
endurance.
In Rome during a series of aquatic
sports on the Tiber couples and
groups in fantastic. costumes would
appear on the banks and plunge into
the river in all sorts OF attitudes, but
the one thing that was most admired
and applauded was the flying Mer-
curry.
One of the members of the Roman
Swimming club had apparently Dor
rowed all the attributes Of this mes
senger of the gods. his winged hat
and sandals and the caducens, and
when, carefully posed. he jumped into
the Tiber. 1t seemed. the spectators
said, as IL it were really the Mer.
curry OF Giovanni da Bologna. who had
come up to participate In the water
sports of modern Italy.
