How TO 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 30 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-
ned 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, for their free 32-page
Cuticura Book, telling all about the
care and treatment of the skin.

The COLLEGE Journalist.

FTOm tN6 NdIISdS CIty JUuTIdI,
At the University Of Missouri is the
first working school Of journalism in
the world. AS practical laboratory
work, a daily paper, with telegraphic
reports, is issued. Walter Williams, it's
dean. tells Of the vicissitudes he en-
counters in turning laymen into jour-
nalists.
A student was sent in haste to cover
q railroad wreck at a town a few miles
away. 1t vas almost time for the daily
to go TO press, and still no word had
been received from the young man on
the assignment.
In desperation Dear Williams tele-
graphed, asking why the story was not
forthcoming. The reply was: TOO
much excitement. Wait until things
quiet down."

AFTERNOON TEA WITH A SHAVE
Manicure Girls Pouring OoIons the
Newest Thing in Small Luxuries.


From the New York World.
Shall shave the back of your neck,
sir?"
mo, I can't see 1t myself and nobody
else cares"
will you have a cup Of tea, them"
Charmed, I'm sure"
This dialog took place in the Ter
minaf barber shop in the Cortlandt
building one day last week. The speak
ers were a freshly shaved railroad presi-
dent and Joseph H. Schusser, the mas
ter barber n proprietor of the shop.
A moment later a pretty manicure
girl handed a dainty cup of steaming
hot tea to the railroad president who
was sitting in the BARRIERS chair.
The head Of n Of the greatest trunk
lines In America drank the tea and
returned the cup.
Yes, gentle reader, the afternoon tea
habit has invaded the barber shop.
Joseph b. Schusser in~augurated the
idea in his o barber shops in the
Hudson Terminal buildings Monday
afternoon. In his main shop in the
Cortlandt building the tea is served by
blond, statuesque young lady, makes
the tea (Oolong from Formosa) and
"pours" from 3 to 6. Every customer
Is asked If he will nave a cup and nine
out Of 10 accept 1t gratefully. Cream
or lemon is served with 1t, and accord
ing to Schusser the china is real Ores
den and the silver solid.
II conceived the idea of serving tea
to my customers over a year ago." said
Schusser, the other day, but / was
afraid to do it. l was afraid the idea
would be ridiculed. 1t was not until
Monday that / gathered nerve enough
to do 1t. My customers were a little
shocked at first, I'll admit, but nearly
everyone who comes in now drinks a
a cup, so I'm sure they like the idea.
Personally / think it's a very good plan.
A cup of tea is much better for your
system than a cocktail and just as re-
freshing.

"7he Black Death"

The plague. or Asiatic cholera. or
as II used to be called. "the black

Europe.
In Russia, where the people are

persons are known to have died Of
this attack in Russia already.
This is not surprising. for the In
kabitants. instead Of cleaning their

ikons or images which the Greek
church sells at considerable profit.
and to these little images supersti-

by death from the plague.
There Is nothing more tragic in all
the history of man than the record Of
"the black death" in Europe.
In the fourteenth century one cpl
demic after another spread among the
people. twenty-five millions of human
beings are believed to have perished
in this single series Of epidemics.
The rich and the poor alike were
affected. In Oxford two-thirds Of the
student population died.
In Constantinople the people died at
the rate Of 10000 a day.
Charms, incantations, fear, filth. ig-
norance and superstition fed the dis
ease.

Illustrating the dance Of death" with
grinning skulls and skeletons. was one
feature of the epidemic.
Another, curiously enough. was In
England. the tremendous rise In the
cost Of labor. The workmen died so
fast that there were few left to do the
work, and, following the law Of supply
and demand, the few that could work
were offered extravagant wages-al-
though laws were passed to keep the
wages down. And 1t Is said that this
snddeu rise in wages laid the founda-
tion Of the emancipation Of working
people in England.
The plague In Europe appears now
in the old familiar way-breaking out
here and there. always in filth and in
ignorance. spreading gradually.
The disease is not thoroughly under

be well fed-a strong man may have

To make up enough OF the "Dande-

In teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
Those who have tried It say It acts
gently but thoroughly on the Kidneys
and entire urinary system. relieving
the most severe Backache at once.
A we1l-known medical authority rec
ommends the prescription to be taken

to Immediately follow its use Is rev.
