THE ROAD TO POPULARITY
Recipe Has Been in Use Many Years But 1t Is Not Always Safe to
 Trust 1t.

The way to be popular has been ex- plained by one of the marshmallow magazines which infates itself with the idea that it is directing modern life. When you shake hands with a man. runs the recipe, grasp the hand as though you were glad to see the owner, look him in the eye, and give him a smile from your heart"
 This is a sure-enough recipe. It has been worked by some of the great est frauds in Christendom to subserve their own ends. The man who is seeking popularity, posing for it, angling for it. usually doesn't deserve it. Keep your admiration for mer who show you their real selves, who, when they are bothered or worried, or mad, or glad make it manifest by appropriate facial expression, and who are not constantly standing them selves before the mirror.

WASTED A FURruNE ON SKIN
 TROUBLE

"I began to have an itching over my whole body about seven years ago and this settled in my limb, from the knee to the toes. l went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I noticed that I did not get any relief that way I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there. I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost crazy with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened I did not know what to do I was so sick and had be- come so nervous that I positively lost all hope
 T had seen the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies a great many times, but could not make up my mind to buy them, for I had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you that I was never so pleased as when 1 noticed that, after having used two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en- tire inflammation had gone. I was completely cured. I should be only too glad if people with similar disease would come to me and find out the truth. l would only recommend them to use Cuticura.

appeal of Wallace Stuckey for a new
trial and declared his bond forfeited.
October II the court had ordered
Stuckey to come within the jurisdic-

would be no meeting between the pres

said to have made it impossible for
the colonel to leave Oyster Bay.

President Taft this morning and
talked over the New York state situa-

being made to have the president
write a letter in behalf of Henry L.

governor or to have the former make
a speech in New York in the cam

Washington, Oct 19-By an order

commission directs that the long and

Washington, Oct. 19-The validity of

amendment makes the initial carrier
of interstate commerce liable for dam
ages occurring in transportation not

which finds its expression in the sup
