Capt. Butt Was Merely Giving to His
Friend a Few Philosophical
Reflections.

Capt Archibald w Butt, the presi-
dents military aide, was called out Of
bed at nine o'clock one morning to
answer a telephone call
Archie said his friend on the
other end of the wire, 81 called you
up to tell you that I shall not be able
to keep the appointment made with
you for eleven O'Clock today"
I'm sorry,' said Butt, his tone a
trifie chilly.
Yes; it's too bad" agreed the
other.
There ensued an ominous pause.
you know remarked Butt senten-
>tiously, ''telephoning- seems TO be a
habit, a bad habit, in Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest provocation. They
don't seem to know when not to tele-
phone. They even get you out of bed
to talk TO you on the telephone"
I'm afraid l annoyed you, and
you're bawling me out" said the
friend.
"Oh, no." contradfcted Butt in a
louder tone MY remarks are merely
few philosophical reflections induced
by the early hour Of the morning. -

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

When my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran, q
watery fluid. We tried everything We
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and thin
yeIlowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. 1 had to pSlt
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies.
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for a long while.
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application Of Cuticura
Ointment and he was so soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad was he felt better. It took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake of Cutieura Soap to
cure him. I think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and I shall always remain a firm
friend of them. There has been no
return of the trouble. l shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. NJ

Tired and dusty, a party were re-
turning by rail from a holiday trip.
Simkins, little bald man, seated him
self to read, but dropped OF to sleep.
On the rack was a ferocious crab In a
bucket, and when Simkins went to
sleep the crab woke up, and finding
things dull in the bucket, started ex-
ploring. By careful investigation Mr..
Grab reached the edge of the rack.
Down it fell, aIighting on Simkn's
shoulder, where it grabbed the mans
ear to study itself. The passengers
held their breath and waited for de
velopments, but Simkins only shook
his head and said: Lego, SARAH I

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:

from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my homework, 1 did not
realize the gravity of my condition till

cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was SO bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
I was widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that 1 wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, I happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
fitted by leaving of coffee and using
Postum. I grasped at the hope this
held out. and made the change at
once.
MY health began to improve imme
diateIy. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, I gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon ali the
distressing symptoms passed away. No

heart trying to f1y out OF my mouth

The number of subscribers will also
be seen to be larger than at any pre-

54S volumes, this year, SAC. These
books incluuo, besides the better fic-
ton the most important recent pub
licatons in literature, biography,
travel and sociology. These additions
are justified by the circulation report
which indicates the popular interest
in these subjects.
Two hundred and sixty-one new
cards were issued to pupils of the
public schools. In addition to this,
collections of hundred books each
from the juvenile library have been
made up and sent at intervals of from
six to eight weeks to a number of the
schools. This was an initial attempt
at library extension that was heartily
met and encouraged by the principals.
Smaller collections have also been
sent regularly to subscribers resident
on Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii.
The local press has most kindly
given space each month for the lists
of new books and has continued cour-
tesies that call for grateful acknowl-
edgement.
