GETTING EVEN WITH MAMMA
In This Case, chiid's Punishment Ger

tary Effect.

A little girl had been SO very
naughty that her mother found it
necessary to shut her up In dark
closet-in that family. the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For Is minutes the door had been
locked without a sound coming from
behind 1t. Not a whimper, not sniff

At last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried.
And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:
II thpit on your new dress and I
thpit on your new hat. and I'm wait

Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war. were tho
original forerunners Of the Red Cross

this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use Of q stamp
for the purpose Of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In hastily or
ganized campaign Of only three weeks
they realized 5000. The next year.

adverse conditions. $250.O00 was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

II am q man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed. itch. burn and ache
so that could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were SO bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors. but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About q year
ago my daughter got a cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and In one week from the

were all healed up and they have not
been n mite sore since. I would not

ORDER OF GARDEN HOE

Three years ago one man in Kansas
City. a man who had in his soul the love
of growing things and the desire to dig
In the soil, transformed an unsightly back
yard INTO a flower and vegetable garden.
Since the cultivation of the sol. especially
by amateurs. legets a social desire for
conversation. this gardener enticed his
neighbors one by one into his back yard
and showed his growing wonders. Occa-
sionally a dish of fresh ettuc on 81 bas-
ket of string beans was passed over the
fence to a neighbours kitchen, and lunches
of old-fashioned flowers now and then
gladdened an old lady who had re,nem-
brances of the unconventional gardens of
her earlier years.
1t was natural that the mans neighbour
on either side should teach his enthusiasm.
He was consulted and willingly explained
that beans grew on vines and required
supports; that potatoes should be planted
In rows and that 1t was not necessary to
use a whole potato for each plant; and SO
on! The result was that these three neigh
bors tand their families) became so int
mate over their back yards tina: it was
decided to pull down the dividing fences
ana to make the three gardens one.

Preparing for the "Passion Play"
From st. Louis Post Dispatch.

From st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Oberammergau is already busy with
preparations for the performances Of
the Passion Play which WILL, take place
next year. Thirty dates have been fixed
between May 16 and September 25, Of
which 10 are Sundays. Extra perform
ances are sometimes given on Mon
days, when there are more people in
the village on the preceding Sundays
than can find places at the theater.
The great problem Of the Passion
Play committee is to prevent the per-
formances from degenerating into
commercialism. The play commence
rates the departure Of the plague from
the village In 1923, and the devoutness
Of the actors is no less now than 1t
agents have canvassed the entire VIII
lage to buy up sleeping accommodation
for next summer and prices have been
offered for single rooms which have all
most turned the heads Of the peasants.
No one can witness the Passion Play
who has not spent the previous night
In the village itself. Every house is
registered as possessing a certain num-
Der of sleeping accommodations, and
the total number of beds in the village
is approximately the number of seats
in the theater-4,20o. one-third Of the
beds in each house must be placed at
the disposal of the local official lodging
bureau. The householders may make
their own terms for the other beds,
with a maximum charge rigidly fixed
by the committee.
Three great tourist Offices Of London,
Berlin and Munich ave secured a GER
tain number Of beds for the night be-
fore each performance. Many Of the
