SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS

A speedy and economical treatment
for disfiguring pimples is the follow
ing: Gently smear the face with Cuti-
cura Ointment, but do not rub Wash
off the ointment in five minutes with
Cuticura Soap and hot water and
battle freely for some minutes. Re
peat morning and evening. At other
times use hot water and Cuticura
Soap for bathing the face as often as
agreeable. Cuticura soap and oint-
ment are equally successful for itch
Ing, burning, scaly and crusted hu-
mOrs Of the skin and scalp, with loss
of hair, from infancy to age, usually
affording instant relief, when all ell e
fails. Send to Potter Drug e Chem.

breath. Men are queer, aren't they?'

Il don't want to hear anything that

I had no right to help you. God

to help you
She held eat her hand to me and
took it between both of mine. No
word of love had passed between US,
but I felt that she knew and under
stood. It was one of the moments
that come seldom in a lifetime, and
then only in great crises, a moment Of
perfect understanding and trust.
Then she drew her hand away and
sat, erect and determined, her fingers
laced in her lap. AS she talked the

The Pacific ocean covers 68, 100000
miles, the Atlantic 30,000,000 and the
Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 100000.
To stow away the contents of the Pa
cific it would be necessary to fill a
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years
Put in figures, the Pacific holds in
weight 948,OOO, 100000 900 10000 tons.
The Atlantic averages a depth Of
not quite three miles. It's water weighs

Probably Got Off.

Apropos of certain unfounded
charges of drunkenness among the
naval cadets at Annapolis, Admiral
Dewey, at a dinner In Washington,
told story about a young sailor.
"The sailor, after a long voyage"
he said, went ashore in the tropics,
and, it being hot day, he drank, in
certain tropical bars, too much beer.
"As the sailor lurched under his
heavy load along palm-bordered ave-
nue., his captain hailed him indig-
nantly.
look here the captain said, sup
pose you were my commander, and
you met me in such a condition as
you're in now, what would you do to
me?'

AIisor's Story.

Alisor's Story.
She told her story evenly, with her
eyes on the water, only now and then,
when I, too, sat looking seaward, I
thought she glanced at me furtively.
And once, in the middle Of it, she
stopped altogether.
"You don't realize it, probably" she
protested, ''but you look like IA war
god. Your face is horrible"
Il will turn my back, if it will help
any," I said stormily, "but if you ex-
pect me to look anything but murder
Gus, why, you don't know what I am

The story of her meeting with the
Curtis woman was brief enough. They
had met in Rome first, where Alison
and her mother had taken a villa for
a year. Mrs. Curtis had lowered on

eight months without interruption SO
that I could not do any work at all.

Leaves Pennies In Church.

A Boston clergyman, commenting
on the large number of cents in the
average church collection, said that
when on a recent Monday he had
offered a newswoman outside the sub
way station a scent piece in payment
for a newspaper she threw up her
hand, remarking:
"Why is it that men never have
pennies on Monday morning? 1t is
the only day in the week I have
trouble making change"
my good woman" replied the
clergyman, the reason is that on Sun
day they leave their pennies In
church"

attempt at levity. GO on
eff Mrs. Curtis knew, she never
said anything. She wrote me charm
ing letters, and in the summer, when
they went to Cresson, she asked me
to visit her there. I was too proud
to let her know that l could not go
where I wished, and SOL sent Polly,
my maid, to her aunt's IN the country,
pretended to go to Seal Harbor, and
really-Went to Cresson. You see I
warned you it would be an unpleasant
story"
I went over and stood in front Of
her. All the accumulated jealousy of
the last few weeks had been fired by
what she told me. If Sullivan had
come across the sands just then, l
think I would have strangled him with
my hands, out of pure hate.
''Did you marry him?" I demanded.
My voice sounded hoarse and strange
in my ears. That's all I want to
know. Did you marry him."
