A STITCH In TIME

Every form of cutaneous disease
could be cured in its incipiency if 3
Jar Of Resinol Ointment were kept at
hand. A little of this excellent Oint-
ment applied in time will effectually
ward off and cure a starting trouble
which, if neglected, may prove a trou-
blesome and often obstinate case Of
Eczema or other disfguring skin dis
ease. For burns, scalds, slight
wounds, sores, eruption Of poison
ivy, sunburn, 1t is quick and sure
remedy, usually curing these troubles
over night. To the unfortunate suf-
ferer with Hemorrhoids etching or In
famed Piles) resinol ointment is in
deed a godsend. The intense pain
and intolerable itching Of this trou-
BILE is instantaneously relieved and a
cure effected in a very short time.
The bath room or family medicine
case is incomplete if not equipped
with Resinol Soap and Ointment.
They are most valuable accessories in
every well regulated household, and
can be obtained at any drug store.
Resinol Medicated Shaving Stick is
also highly appreciated by men who
regard a good complexion and a face
free from pimples and blotches.

Canada Is also a big country, al

Try to Come Back,

Not long ago Lord Kinnaird, who Is
always actively interested in religious
work, paid a surprise visit to a mis-
sion school in the east end of London
and told class of boys the story of
Samson. Introducing his narrative,
his lordship added:
He was strong, became weak. and
then regained his strength, enabling
him to destroy his enemies Now,
boys, If had an enemy, what would
you advise me to do?"
A little boy, after meditating on the
secret of that great giants strength,
shot up his hand and exclaimed: Get
a bottle of air restorer."

Women are learning to discriminate
in this matter and to forego the wear
ing of plumage that promises to bring
about the extinction of a species of
beautiful wild birds or to inflict tor
ture. \ proud crest of dainty feath-

1edglings by slow starvation, are not
pleasant suggestions to faunt with
the group Of sweeping aigrettes upon

must be either uniformed, or indif
ferent, or unmindful Of cruelty. None
Of the excuses will pass muster with
intelligent people.
Aside from a very few sorts, the
feathers we have worn recently and
those we will wear, are made from
the plumage of domestic or other edi-
be birds. No cruelty is practised in
securing them and thousands of peo-
