WOMAN RUNS A MOUSE FARM

Why is the average woman mora
bands wrath over her milliner's bill?
Why at the sight of a wee, inoffensiye
rodent, will she fly screaming to a
table or chair to the accompaniment
OF reckless display of hosiery? And
can anybody under the san explain
why the nervy young woman who will
grapple with and capture a burglar
and turn him over to the police, will
pull off lovely fainting fit If anybody
shouts, Look at the mousei"
Absolutely for the first time in be-
frflled womandom, real, live and nor
NAL woman has advanced to the firing
line with answers to the foregoing
question. This daring woman is Miss
Abbie E. c. Lathrop, the owner of a.
successful mouse farm at CRANKY,
Mass. She raises yearly from 5000 to
10000 rats and mice for medical lab
oratories.
"Woman's fear of the mouse" says
Miss Lathrop, 81 believe dates back to
the Garden of Eden. There can be no
possible doubt about it, for as far back
as | have been able to go in the his
tory of the world, women have hoped.
skipped and jumped at the sight of a
mouse"
In her rodent family, Miss Lathrop
has mice of ten different colors and
20 combinations of color. White is
ordinary and black is not startling,
but when it comes to cream-colored
mice or orange mice, one Is surprised.
She also has silver, blue and agout
mice.
The red mice are much the color of
the bay of horse and the blue mouse
is about the color of a maltese cat.
The agoutl mice have dark brown hair
with yellow tips which gives a golden
brown effect. Her silver mice with
ruby eyes are the rarest combinations
One of the most remarkable things
about Miss Lathrop's farm is her an
CORA cat Tab" This feline will not
allow strange cat on the farm and
she protects Miss Lathpp's rats and
mice.

not under obligations that are ham
pering. or the prey of helplessness.
The girl who is self-reliant does not
live in constant dread of getting out
of her job. She makes herself so val
liable that she lessons the chances
of being let out: she also makes a
point of knowing where similar posi-
lions are TO be had.
If she is in need of position, does
she write letters to all her friends
asking them for help In getting a new
place? Not she. Size reads adver-
tisements, makes inquiries. visits bus
mess offices on her own behalf.
She knows the value of good back
ing. so is careful to make herself
worth recommending, but she relies
on herself for employment hunting.
The selfreliant girl does not depend
upon others to help her when she
starts work. The difficulties of the
new position are quickly mastered,
with only necessary assistance.
Self-reliance helps a girl IN every
sphere of life. She does not nope be-
cause friends do not come her way
she makes them. She is never at a
loss for entertainment, for she knows
how to amuse herself Nor is she
dependent upon outsiders for happi-
ness, as she cutivates her resources
until she does not count on people
to hand her out pleasures on a silver
tray.
There is no greater lack in a girl
who has her way to make than failure
to depend upon herself; otherwise no
self-reliance.

DEAD MAN DRIVES ENGINE

An extraordinary incident, which
might have led to grave disaster, is
reported from Paris to the effect that
the driver of a train on the line from
Etel to Carnac died on the footplate

stoker noticed nothing unusual until
the train was just about to enter the

train was still travelling at a compar-
atively high speed, he turned to the
driver, and TO his establishment found
that he was standing up. leaning
against the side of the cab, stone dead.
He at once put on the brakes ard re-

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN

vintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be a blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only a skin disease, and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist, Dr. D. D. Dennis, first
discovered the eczema germ, and his
discovery was quickly taken up IN
Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ, and at the
same time heal the skin, DR.. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thymol

not a mere salve, hence it sinks right
into the pores of the skin. Washing
with this oil Of wintergreen compound
