SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

my mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt. why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling Of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought l would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and

five winters, and now my feet are as

DEFENDERS OF THE PEACE
Some Information About the Police OF
Various Cities and the Duties
They Perform.

The average policeman is not

plods his beat he does not think of
himself as the physical manifestation
of the law of the municipality, but as
somewhat misused individual fitted
out with a stick and authority to
break other individuals heads there.

If he would consider himself collec-
lively, he would find himself more In
teresting.
There are more than 1000 of him
in New York city, and he costs the
citizens, who also furnish the heads
to be broken, some $11,000,000 annual
ly In return for which he makes
about 10000 arrests-20 to each Of
flcer. There are % of him to each
square mile of territory and one to
each 500 citizens. In Chicago, where
there are $50 or so citizens to each
officer, he is not nearly so expensive,
$500 of him costing but S1,600,000 a
year. There are only IL of him to
each square mile, but he makes $4,000
arrests, or 26 to each officer.
The cops in New Orleans and Kan
sas City seem to be the real industri-
Gus arresters, achieving 67 and &C ar
rests each, respectively, though in
both cities there are about 1000 citi-
zens to each officer. In New Orleans
there are but two officers to the
square mile, and in Kansas City, five.
Baltimore must have considerable
difficulty in providing enough lamp
posts for her cops to lean against,
there being 35 of him to the square
mile. He contrives to make 81 ar

within his jurisdiction.

Geronimo's Apache warriors, far down among the
mountains and cactus deserts of Old Mexico He
performed this difficult task with such courage
and efficiency that he was especially commended
by his commanding general and rewarded by

Roosevelt said of him:
"No soldier could outwalk him, could live with

endure hardship better do better without sleep.

Irish AeropIane a Century Back.

Sir George Cayley, an Irish knight,
in 1909 first described the aeroplane;
It was complete specification, and
in it everything in aviation now in
use, even to the detail of an explosive
motor. He made one aeroplane, and
was building second with form of
explosive motor of his own invention,
but it was wrecked. Victor Tatin, in
1871, made model aeroplane motored
by compressed air. Guided by a
string, it flew successfully in a large
circle. Professor Langley, in 1908,
made q motor aeroplane which rose
from its starting boat and plunged into
the Potomac river. In 1904 Sir Hiram
Maxim spent 100000 on an immense
steam motor aeroplane. Failure. Doc
tor Lillienthal sailed 1000 feet high
on monoplane glider. He changed 1t

INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.

Some time ago the agent and other officers in
charge of the Yuma reservation asked the braves
to refrain from burning the houses of the dead
They showed how easy 1t would be for fire to
sweep over part Of the reservation and put gov
eminent property in jeopardy.
For time the Indians observed the request

celebrated the departure of one of their number
in the most approved redskin style The personal
effects of the deceased were burned and his house
was set on fire. He was supposed to have arrived
in the happy hunting ground ready for enthu
siastic reception.
But, inasmuch as the personal property of a
deceased person belongs to the heirs by the Cali
fornia law. there is doubt that jealous friends
overstepped the law when they cremated every,
thing the dead Indian had ever owned

Qualification That Earned His Advancement In
Brief Time.

Ray Stannard Baker writes most interesting
sketch of Gen. Leonard Wood in the American
Magazine, part Of which is quoted as follows:
Many there are who have attempted to ac-

of Gen. Leonard Wood. Twelve years ago an
assistant surgeon. with little no regular mill
tary training how is 1t possible that today at the
astonishingly youthful age Of so (he was born

United States?
Somewhere In one of his essays Emerson OBJ

prepared for his age No better description of
the success of General Wood could possibly be
written. Without especially brilliant qualities to
commend him, with little promise in his earlier
years. he has been, at every crisis he has had to

to be found in like degree anywhere else, unless
perhaps it be at the United States Naval acad

there is enough of novelty In the climax at West

by any limited to the relatives and close
friends of the young men who are to receive
along with their diplomas. commissions as second
lieutenants in the regular army. That would be
understandable enough-such gathering of inter-
ested kith and kin. But aside from the onlook-
ers whose interest is stimulated by blood ties,
there is a vast assembage, the members of which
feel no interest In either graduates or under
graduates at the Point but who have been drawn
thither by the prospect of a "show" literally
