While the act of laughing may be

the testimony of French naturalist,

1t Is said that the creatures that
weep most easily are the rumlnants,

that 1t has given rise to trivial but ac-
curate expression. ITO weep like

weeps and we are also told that the
bear sheds tears when 1t comes to q
consciousness of its last hour. The
giraffe is not hess sensitive and regards
with fearful eyes the hunter who has

through downright nostalgia. Dogs
also are held TO be lachrymose, and
the same holds in the case Of certain
monkeys. Sparrman states the ele-

When prominent men realize the in

inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
OF years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago l was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one .of
the merchants of the place. noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that 1t was Postum. / was so
pleased with 1t that, after the meal was
over. bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked 1t so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really keen at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but We noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of US.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel OFF leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
ful to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining. little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine

is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-

Care of inAp

One of the most important depart
ments in the management of a house
hold is that which embraces a care of
linen. Accordingly when this is well
dried and put away in the closet the
next duty is to secure 1t from the ef-
fects of damp and insects. These in
truders are often destructive. but they
may be prevented from doing injury by
making the bags and filling with laven-
der. cedar shavings or a strong per-
fume and placing among the linen. In
all cases it will be found that the linen
as well as all the other washable arti-
cles will be economical by being ex-
amined and where necessary carefully
repaired previous to sending to the
laundry.

There were three characters in the

OF probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise ST.

This was broken by one of the
