Child's Idea of Goodness Set Forth

possible, nothing unspeakable, moth
ing too sacred to be discussed or too
diff cult to be attempted. Not lrreV'

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con
struct a telephone line. The eskimo
came into possession of a piece OF wire
Of considerable length and never nav
ing seen wire before he asked PROBES
sor Mcmillan of the Peary north pole
expedition what it was and what IL
was for. He was told that the WHITE
man strung it on poles stuck In the
ground and a voice talking to an IN
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
ton work of his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held II end OF
the wire to his mouth and talked 10
it at. the top of his voice. Then ne
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear Win
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any SOUNDS
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

when my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. I noticed hat her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as a coal of fire. I did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch. as
it itched, and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One
day I saw in the paper the advertise
ment of the Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, SO l got them n
tried them at once. MY baby's face
was as a cake Of sores.
when 1 first used the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I could
see q difference. In color it was red

baby was in a terrible condition. I
used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap
and Ointment) our times a day, and
in two weeks she was quite well. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin Is now pretty
and fine through using them. l also
use the Cuticura Soap today, and Will
continue to, for it makes a lovely
skin. Every mother should use the
Cuticura Remedies. They are good
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
is also good for s~hampooing b hair.

There is no malice in the uprising. 1t
is simply the manifestation Of a scien-
tiic yearning to hand him his dues,
f~ulI-measure and trimming over, for
a past chockful of all manner Of Grim
inality and a desire to chop short a
future hopeless of reform. His tricks
and his manners" long regarded at
the worst as petty annoyances for the
discipline of our souls, have in recent
years assumed an aspect so menac1ng
that we are more and more deter
mined to do without the Christening
qualities of his presence altogether.
DR.. Daniel D. Jackson, formally de-
nouncing this enemy before a Joint
convention of the American Civic AS
ISOLATION and the National Municipal
League, put the case IN unequivocal
terms: Regarded in the light of re-
cen knowledge, the fly is more dan
gerous than the tiger or the cobra.
Worse than that, be is, at least in our
climate, much more to be feared than
the mosquito, and may easily be class
ed the world over as the most danger
ous animal on earth"
When DR.. Jackson thus arraigns the
fly the last word has been said. The
details can only bolster up the gener-
alization-provided the details are
true.
Are they true?

favor which is characteristic perhaps
