KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautifed, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfiguring rashes, itchings,
irritations and chafings dispelled
To this end, nothing is so pure, SO
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.
Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp,
sole proprietors, Boston. for their free
32-page Cuticura Book, telling all about
the care and treatment of the skin.

The catacombs at Rome we're the
burial places of the early Christians.

are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter

railroad locomotives at cost TO the
roads Of S170, 100000, according to a

University of Illinois, who conducted
the experiments, reports that of the
90, 100000 tens of coal the railroads
