PHOTOGRAPHER WAS CRAFTY
Rural Bride Was an Easy Prey When

Obviously, they were on their hon.

of the fashionably attired city girls
would steal her handsome swain. She
also wore a new dress, but 1t WASH

The peregrinating man with the
picture taking machine marked them
as legitimate prey.
Come along" he shouted to the
newlyweds, ''be a sport. Get your
picture taken to take back to the
country. Only dime. I'll take you
in any position"
The pair halted. He wanted his
photograph taken. She didn't. The
peregrinating photographer knew his
business. He wasted no time on the
swain. He was easy prey. On the
bashful bride he focused all the blan-
dishments of his art. Come along,

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 a little care and
the use of the proper emollients. baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, 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.

"Doo DAYS."

The first of the Canicular. or Dog
Days, is SO called from the ancient
custom of sacrificing brown dog to
appease the wrath of Sirius as soon as
that star became visible to the naked
eve. Sirius was supposed to cause the
hot sultry weather usually attendant
on it's appearance, and the ancients
believed that on the first morning of
its rising the sea boiled, wine turned
sour, dogs grew mad and that man be-
came afflicted with burning fevers.
Mysteries and frenzies.
At Argos a festival was held during
the Dog Days called Cynonphontes,
from four Greek words signifying
from killing dogs" when it was the
custom to kill every canine creature
that was met with.

Where Millions Are Entombed.

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 6,00O,0OO
bodies. During the prosecutions OF the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tan 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-
esting. Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels where
paintings are to be found. All are
Bible illustrations, SO that the cata-
combs may be said to be a pictorial
Bible in effect.-The Christian Herald.

Household Topics.

Nothing is more refreshing than a
cup of good tea when one is travelling
and nothing is harder to find when
one is en- route. One way to be sure
of it is to provide ones favorite brand
and tie 1t up by teaspoonfuls In
squares Of loosely woven cheesecloth.
When a cup of tea is wanted, ice wa
ter or hot water is never difficult to
obtain, and ones own bag may pro-
vide the beverage. The bag is easier
to throw away than the loose dregs.
The little bags should be kept in tin
box or the flavor will be lost If the
trip is to be of any length. A tea ma
king spoon or tea ball answers the
same purpose. but it leaves the dregs
to be disposed Of and is more messy.
