SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking Of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling OF her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought l would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. l did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

Returning the Compliment.

Senator Theodore e. Burton OF
Ohio, who Is bachelor and has never
been ensnared by the wiles of women,
tells a story of young lady and a
judge OF his acquaintance. The for
mer was witness in the latter's
court. The prosecuting attorney had
repeatedly put to her questions which
she persistently evaded under the
plea that she did not comprehend his
meaning Whereupon his honor un-
dertook to bring out the proper re-
sponses. Leaning over, he said in a
kindly and fatherly manner, Young
woman, why is 1t that you insist in
refusing to understand the questions
OF counsel? You are a person O!

average intelligence, and"

slaught would have been fatal but Joe
Allard met the two tons of enraged
beast without culver.
Backward and forward these huge
fighting machines surged until the
ground ran red with their gore.
"The glory of the morning faded in
to the heat of MONDAY, and this in
turn gave way to the cool breezes of
the evening. and still they fought.
Like putting locomotives they rushed
at each other time and time again,
only to be hurled back on their
launches and to repeat the awful
charge.
Throughout the night until late
the next day the fight continued with
but short breathing spells. 1t was
easy to see that Old Shag's race was
about run.
Following a rest of more than
usual length. he pulled himself to-
gether for the final lunge.
Weary, sore, and weak from loss
of blood. the old fellow did his best
to deal crushing blow, but he was
not the great, defiant, unconquered
brute of yore.
Not so with Joe Alard. There was
no longer any fear in his heart.
ALREADY he felt re sweet nectar
OF victory, and although he. too, was
bruised and bleeding, he met the final
charge of his hated rival in so deter.
mined manner thai Old Shag with
drew. and when the light OF morning
came again the veteran fighter was
as far apart from his fellows as he
could get-forever dlsgraced.
ION the plains when an old boss is
thus defeated he would take himself
TO the bad lands, there to end his days
alone and despised. But even this PRIV.
ilege was denied old Shag. The pas
ture fence prevented.
THE poor fellow took his defeat
most bitterly, and with his heart thus
broken he pinned away until he was
forlorn wreck of his former self.

to him. but 1t was most cruel to my.

For Proper Care Of Tuberculosis.

According to the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis, New York state leads
in the number of beds for consump-
tives provided up to May l, with 5,476
beds; Massachusetts is second, with
2,403 beds; Pennsylvania third, with
2347 beds; Colorado fourth, with 1889
beds, and New Mexico fifth, with
1,104 beds. AS yet, not one state in
the country has made adequate pro
vision for its consumptives. New
York has set itself the task of having
mo uncared-for tuberculosis in 1916"
and several cities in other parts Of
the country have adopted similar pro-
grams. The national association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases of this
disease are cared for either in their
homes or in institutions. With this
end in view, efforts will be made to
increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at least $4,000 by
May |, 1911.

Children.

Listen to this opinion from David
Starr Jordan:
There is nothing In all the world
so important as children, nothing so
interesting. If you ever wish to go in
for some philanthropy, II you ever
wish to be of any real use in the
world, do something for children. If
you ever yearn to be truly wise, study
children. We can dress the sore,
bandage the wounded, imprison the
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there is always a chance
that we can save a child. If the great
army of philanthropists ever exter-
inmate sin and pestilence, ever work
out our races salvation, it will be be-
