IN THE PARADE
Captain Robert Parker Will Have

The most encouraging sign for the
success of the Floral Parade is prob
ably the enthusiasm of the members
of the several committees which are
working upon the details. All alike
seem to feel that the event will be
on any previous occasion, and base
their optimism on the attitude of the
general public and the business com
munIty on the subject. The time IS
past when there could be any POSSIBLE
ity of failure in connection with the
parade With last year 5 success it be-
came a permanent institution, and as

TINY .BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the I'M
scalds. Then a 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
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small 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,
a 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 fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-

Danger in Splitting on sidewalks.

In order to show that splitting on the
sidewalks is dangerous to health, an in
vestigation has been made by DR.. John
Robertson, medical health officer of
Birmingham, England, which shows
that seven per cent. of the "spits" col
lected in public places contained con-
germs. On the other hand
the dust collected from the floors of
the cottages of the Adirondack Cottage
sanitarium has been found to be free
of tuberculosis germs, showing that a
careful consumptive is not dangerous.

Book companionship.

Books are guide in youth and an
entertainment for age. They support
us under solitude and keep us from
being a burthen to ourselves. They
help us to forget the crossness of men
and things; compose our cares and
our passions; and lay our disappoint-
ments asleep. When we are weary
of the living we may repair to the
dead, who have nothing of peevish-
