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 it 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 it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding 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 | thought / would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER
His "5oys" Call Him the General Ad-
wiser Without Pay"-He Is
Partial to None.

When man loves to liveNhe usual
ly can go among men who care little
whether they live or not and do good.
Such man is Augustus E. Vaughan,
immaculate Of dress and OF heart ven
cradle in years and usefulness, whom
one may see almost any day either on
Boston Common or at the Young
Mems Christian Union.
His speciality is helping his fallen
and discouraged brother, whether he
be cigarette smoking boy or rum
sodden and disheartened derelict Of a
man. His creed is cheerfulness and
his passion is books.
Often one may see him, tall and
straight, faultlessly attired in frock
coat, with his flowing white beard and
his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim of
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on, the Common, and
then one is sure to be struck by the
contrast. Many a man he has met
there has later become as clean of
body and heart as himself, and all
through his infectious good nature and
brotherly comraderie.
Among the younger men with whom
this old young man Of rs increasingly
labors he is known as 'the general
adviser without pay" and he is as in
terested in their ambitions as they
can be, and so youthful is he in their
presence that he is always one of
them.
Mr.. Vaughan is not engaged in ac-
tive business this summer, but he
comes to Boston every day, rain or
shine, to talk with his "boys," as he
calls them. Some Of these have never
before known real friend He is
highly educated, and counts among his
friends many college presidents and
professors.
He was born in Middleboro, nearly
seventy-fve years ago, and traces his
lineage back to Peregrine White Of
Mayfower fame.
Il love to live" said he to me, "and
/ want to help the boys to enjoy liv-
ing, too"

Tribute to Painters skill.

One of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen in the museum at
The Hague was recently injured, but
it is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents a basket Of
fruit on which number of insects
have gathered. On pale yellow ap-
pie, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster of fruit, is large fly, painted
so true to'nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
injured by some one who endeavored
to "shoo"' 1t and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "A
tribute to the painters genius" says
the letter recording the fact, for which
the work had to suffer"

could detect smaller quantity than

Why Do They?

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and conffding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful
A man Of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage SO
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when it
comes to him, as it is a sign of Sc
dateness and digniied learning, which
invariably increases his practise.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 6-An increase
of 50. 266, O81 in the amount of time
certificates of deposit, is noted. &C.
cording to the report of Bank Com
missioner Bergh, since Aug. 80.
Money deposits in individual &C.
counts subject to check have increas-
ed $75, 600, 600. There is a tendency.
according to the commissioner report,
among patrons to withdraw their de-
mand deposits and put them into time
certificates earning a higher rate of
interest.
Overdrafts have decidedly decreased,
and the banks have shown a tendency
to invest the increased funds in their
hands by buying bonds and placing
large sums out on mortgages and
other securities.
Loans and discounts increased
almost 81 900, 900. There is also d
considerable increase in the amount of
coin and currency being held in the

Historic Tree Gone.

Last week witnessed the telling of
one of the most, if not the most
historic trees in Platteville or
vicinity. It was the large pine tree
which lowered above all the others on
the Rountree estate. It was planted
by Major Rountree in 1897 and was
the scene of the gathering of many
noted men of our city and nation.
Under its shade many years ago, the
venerable U. S. Grant addressed the
school children and citizens of this
city. The tree was struck by lightning
two years ago which has rendered it
very unsafe to the people who con-
tinually pass beneath it, and which
finally brought about it's ultimate
destruction. -Platteville Witness.

Getting Rid of Poor Cows.

This is the best time Of year for
culIing out the poor COWS. With
butter fat at 80 or more cents pound,
the poorer COWS can be dropped with
out feeling it in the creamery check.
No cow should be kept that will not
bring in $40 month at present prices
and she ought to do better than that.
So long as the poorest COWS are kept
in the herd the actural tendency is
downward. The dropping from age
and losses from disease and injuries is
not lessened and there is nothing to
increase the profit. This is coming
more and more to be realized by the
commercial dairyman. The men who
are buying registered cattle to-day are
not the wealthy fellows who made it
a fad some years ago, but the regular
dairymen and they find it pays to
carry this kind of stock Elk.

An Evening With The Council.

Al the regular monthly meeting OF
the city council Tuesday evening of
last week it was decided to accept the
proposition of the Lancaster Electric
Light Co. to make a slight change in
the lighting system of the city. Two
arc lights at the corners of the Grand
hotel AID Horace Hymer's residence
property will be taken down. Mazda
lamps Of 80 candle power will be
placed near the residences Of the fol-
lowing: Frank Schreiner, R. B,
ShOwalter, FL. Rymer and James I.
Webb. At the Grand Central hotel
a light of 200 candle power will be
installed and one of 60 candle power
at the corner of the Catholic church.
These lights are to be placed on
pole brackets with ten inch distribut-
ing shades. The city is to pay 500. go
for the complete exchange and 1929 0C
per year for ligth rept. This is nine
dollars more than the present rate.
The request of Clint Edwards that
he be- allowed to conduct his restaurant
as a restaurant and not under his
saloon license was presented to the
council It was voted to lay this
matter over until the next meeting
when the rights of council to change
a license in such manner will be
known.
If the change is made the council
decided that all openings between the
restaurant and the adjoining saloon
must be closed
The report of the library committee

necessary changes was adopted
