INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

Last Sunday was observed as Child
ren's Day by the M. f. Sunday school, a
special service taking place of the regu-
lar morning session. The tasteful deco
rationS, carefully prepared recitationS,
and charming music, all contributed TO
make the service one of rich enjoyment.
1t takes courage these hot summer days
TO attend rehearSals and prepare for such
program, and honor should be given
the faithful workers who planned and
carried out the exercises of last Sunday.
The congregation from the Congrega-
tional church attended the M. f. service

That Yankee Dodne.

The description of the first operation
4adcr ether in Europe as given by DR..
q. William Cook in the University
College Hospital Magazine is repro
lu"ed in the London Lancet, and the
scene is referred to as the most dra-
matte ever enacted in which medical
men grouped the stage" The opera
ton was performed by Robert Liston
on Dec 81, 1916 AT 2:15 Liston en-
ters, that magnificent figure of a man
six feet two inches in height, and says
We are going to try Yankee dodge
today, gentlemen. for making men in
sensible so Liston introduced ether to
a London hospital" The subject was
a man, thirty-six years old, whose
thigh was amputated. The operation
was successful, and Liston uttered the
epilogue. "This Yankee dodge, gentle
men, beats mesmerism holler."

Blow OF 4 Whales TaiI.


Ask ten persons what is the strongest
animal force in the world and nine will
reply that it is the blow of a lions
paw. The tenth man may express the
belief, based on experience, that 1t is
the kick of Missouri mule. AS 4
matter of fact the blow OF whales
tail is inconlparably the strongest ami
NAL force. A blow delivered by full
grown whale placed ut just the right
distance would smash In the side of II

the kick of giraffe, and this terrible
kick is adequate protection to these
otherwise helpless animals. The stroke
of the lions paw comes third on the

NEWS ADS WORK

Readers of the Palatka News will not
call to mind many instances where its

excuse for publishing the subjoined let

Mount Etna is one of the great vol

great in activity. great in beauty. In

1000 feet above sea level. AS to its
power, one of these eruptions some
centuries ago killed $4,000 people.

has ever done in all its existence as
a volcano, not excepting the great
eruption of 70 y. D., which destroyed
the cites of Herculaneum and Pom

very difficult to describe. 1t is teeming

II think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had rash on its head when it
was real young Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good. In few days the head
was a 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 dollar bottle Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, box of Cuticura
Ointment, and 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 a beautiful head Of hair.
I think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. It makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to<ettle
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
all 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 ab-
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 yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-ths per-
fectly 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.

Fostered, Being Made Victim Of
Murderous Bandits.

The robbing Of saloons is, so far as
we have ever had opportunity to OBJ
serve. new thing under the sun. The
saloon has instigated robberies enough;
the "chalice," with a draught more
bitter than its own nauseous beer,
has never before been Commended
to It's own lips" Just now in Chicago
this is being done. After all, 1t is
chickens coming home to roost. Never
till now, surely. was this quaint sim
ilitude more appropriate in applica-
tion. Upon the other hand, changing
the metaphor, so to speak, once more,
1t is very ungrateful proceeding on
the part of the robber himself. When
he compels the bartender to hold up
1t is pointing the revolver at the breast
which nursed him.
The saloon is his alma mater. Re

course of burglary, murder and crimes
