HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR

81 think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema | have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had a rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called ii baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t
did no good. In a few days the head
was solid mass; a running sore 1t
was awful, the child cried continually
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got a dollar bottle OF Cuti-
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and it has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had beautiful head of hair.
| think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair 1t makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"

The committee, consisting of Reps.
Berry, Straight, Kalmbach, Warner
and Henry, arrived In Marquette &C.

Went Immediately TO work. Warden
Russell and the members OF the in
vestigating committee came to an
agreement as TO the manner of con-
Quoting the investigation. The con
victs will be brought In for pre-
liminary examination in secret. IL
their testimony is against the warden,
and is sufficiently serious to be con
sidered. the men will be brought in
for examination by the warden, and
he will be permitted to offer counter
testimony.

the warden fears is charges which
ii is said. will be brought against
him by his political enemies in Mar
quette, outside OF the question OF
the treatment OF convicts Ii was
agreed that any such testimony is to
be presented in open court
The warden told the meiebers OF
the committee that he thought they
wanted TO be fair.
Mr. Russell surprised the commit
tee by declaring that the paddle is
only applied until the prisoner gives

CALLS EXTRA SESSION.
President Taft Fixes April 4th as
Date for Sixty-Second Congress.

President Taft fixed April as the
date for the converting OF the Sixty
second congress in extraordinary ses-
sion. After reciting the steps already
taken between the United States and
Canada with regard to reciprocity,
the presidents proclamation says:
The agreement Transmitted to con
gress stipulates not only that the
president OF the United States will
communicate to congress the conclu.
sions now reached and recommends
the adoption OF such legislation as
may be necessary on the part OF the
United States to give effect TO the
proposed agreement, but also that the
government of the two countries vii!
use their utmost efforts TO bring about
such changes by concurrent legisl2-
ton at Washington and at Ottawa.
I NOW, therefore, by virtue OF the
power vested in me by the constitu'
ton, do hereby proclaim and declare
that an extraordinary occasion re-
quires the converting OF both houses
Of the congress of the United States
at their respective chambers in the
city of Washington on the fourth or
April, 1911, at II o'clock noon to tho
end that they may consider and de-
termine whether the congress shall,
by the necessary legislation, make
operative the agreement

The Point OF View.

This Is true story A certain belle
was present at certain Chopin recital
During the March Funebre," her eyes
glistened and her whole attitude OF
rapt attention was as If the music had
entranced her very soul. Her whole
face was expressive OF admiration and
intense interest When the pianist
had finished, the escort OF Miss Belle
turned TO her and said: How beau
tiful!" To which she replied. Yes
indeed; doesn't II fit her exquisitely in
the back? How much do you suppose
it cost In Paris?"

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money and it was not
oil baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid. sometimes vel
low and alkaline. and often unpalatable
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fcctly wholesome baking powder. moder-
ate in price. and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely. makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

A Woman's Letter.

Women. it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
NJ. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. "The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of a letter just
as she employs glance or a smile,
In way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And, after
ALL does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why. then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person adj
dressed, just like the letters of some
honest grocer, who writes, 1 send you
five pounds of coffee because he
really does send you five pounds of
coffee"
