There is no other branch of the
government in which a man of ex-
ceptional force and character and
idealism can exert a more permanent
influence upon republican institu-
tions. Mr.. Taft is looking forward
to ''22 years of solid usefulness on
the part of Mr.. Hughes as a justice
of the Supreme Court, and this solid
usefulness may be quite as endur
ing as the work Of a Marshall or

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching,
but 1t grew steadily worse until, when
! combed my hair the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when firstbeginning to heal.
Combins my hair was positive tor
ture. My hair was long and tangled
terribly because Of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
In despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places SO that my
not sleep well and, after being asleep
short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said itmust be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring eighteen
months ago, there was a slight return
of the scalp humor. I commenced
the Cuticura treatment at once so
had very little trouble. On my scalp
l used about one-half cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and half box of Cuticura
Ointment in all. The first time took
six or seven bottles Of Cuticura Pills
and the last time three bottles-neith-
er an expensive or tedious treatment.
Since then have had no scalp trouble
of any kind. Standing up, with my
hair unbound, it comes to my knees,
and had it not been for Cuticura
should doubtless be wholly bald.
This is a voluntary, unsolicited
testimonial, and I take pleasure in
writing it, hoping my experience may
help someone else. Miss Lillian

As Shelley Saw Babies.

According to a story of Shelley
by the Rev. Bradley Gilman. the
splendid mental equipment of the
poet did not include humor.
In his characteristically impassion-
ed way Shelley was deeply interested
in the problem of immortality. One
day he met a nurse maid wheeling
a very young child in a perambula-
tor.
Here is a little SOUL" he reflect
ed, recently come to earth, out of
a great unknown preceding human
life. Perhaps he can tell me some
thing about the great unknown af-
ter human life. The two realms may
be one and the same"
He accosted the infant twice, but,
of course, gained no response, only
a blank infantile stare.
"Alas! alas!" sighed Shelley.
"How very reticent these little crea-
lures are!" of Ethics.

VIII Anyone Believe This?

The wife of literary man of the
Indiana school, who had taken up
chicken raising as a side issue, was
telling of the poor success she had
with brood of eleven chickens. They
seemed to be doing all right for a
few days, she said, and then, one
after another, they all died in the
coop.
What did you feed them?" asked
the wife of a farmer neighbor.
Feed them?" exclaimed the au-
thor's help-mate Il didn't feed
them; l thought a healthy young
pullet like that should have milk
enough for her chicks. '-EVerybody s
