SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.
Cuticura Remedies are sold through
out the world, Potter Drug & Chem.

A Birds SAVINGS Bank.

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall of the
year. invariably in n pine tree. Then
he find an acorn. which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its re-
ception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for,
as a rule, he is not a vegetarian. His
object is storing away the acorns ex-
hibits foresight and a knowledge of
results more akin to reason than to
instinct. The succeeding winter the
acorns remain intact, but. becoming
saturated, are predisposed to decay,
when they are attacked by maggots.
which seem to delight in this special
food.
1t is than that the woodpecker
reaps the harvest his wisdom has pro-
vided. at time when. the ground be-
ing covered with snow, he would ex-
perience a difficulty otherwise in OBJ
tanning suitable or palatable food
