1t will be remembered that this

New, Simple Method
For Removing Hairs
(Modes Of To-Day

Hair on face. neck OF arms can be
easily quickly and permanently re-
moved without resorting to the PAIN
CT expense attached to the electric
needle. A simple powder, known as
delatona. is the new and harmless
agent. and anyone troubled with hairy
erow,hs should get an original pack
age Of delatone and mix enough with
water to cover the hairy surface. Let
the paste remain on two or three MIN
utes, then rub il off, Wash the skin
and the hairs are gone.
Delatone costs dollar an ounce,
but is far cheaper and more satisfac-
tory than anything else on the mar
ket as it actually does the work
qrick!y and we'll and does not so%tr or
mark The skin in any way.

AS TO THE ANIMAL MIND.

John Burroughs. in the Atlantic Monthly.
When an animal acts i'm obedience to its
purely physical needs and according to its
anatomical structure. as when ducks take
to the water, or hens scratch, or hogs
credit it with powers of thought. These
and similar things animals do instructive
ly. When the wood mice got into my
cabin the other day. and opened two small
glass jars of butter that had loose tin
tops I did not credit them with anything
like human intelligence, because to use
their paws deftly-d gging, climbing, ma
nipulating-iS natural to mice.
L have seen a chipmunk come into q
house from his den in the woods and open
a pasteboard box with great dizziness and
help himself to the nuts inside, which, OF
course, he smelled. We do not credit q

ii may weave or sew, or how artfully 1t
may hide it from its enemies. 1t Is do

for countless generations. Hence il acts
from inherited impulse.
But the monkey they told me about at
the Geological Park in Washington that

lodge an insect from crack showed

the chimpanZee that Mr.. Hornaday tells
about, that used the trapeZe bar in the

Oldest People in the World.
u the Dundee Advertiser.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
We have heard great deal lately
about long-lived people, but il is prob
able that the Oldest two people in the
world today are Frau DutkievitZ and an
other old lady named Babavasilka. The
former lives at Posen in Prussian Po-
land, and was born February II, 11So.
She is therefore 125 years old. The lat
ter, however, is nine months her senior,
having been born in May, 1854. She Is
still fairly hale old woman and for
nearly a hundred years worked in the
fields. Her descendants number close on
a hundred. and these now make her IA
Joint allowance. She lives at the village
of Bavelsko, whose neighborhood she has
never quilted during the whole of her
long life. She remembers events which
happened at the beginning of the last
century much more clearly than those
of the last forty years.

A Naive Critic.

NTHE preacher who complains of
/ poor or inattentive congrega-
tions." said DR.. Charles F. Aked, in a
recent address in New York, would
perhaps do better to devote to the i'm
provement of his sermons the time
spent on these complaints.
This type Of preacher generally be-
longs to the Cannes class, which Mrs.
Gladstone naiv ly condemned.
Mrs. Gladstone and her famous hus-
band went to Cannes one January, and
Sunday morning. Of course. they re-
paired to the English church.
But when the sermon began Mr..
Gladstone frowned and squirmed. then
whispered to Mrs. Gladstone fretfully:
II can't hear him.
But Mrs. Gladstone, whose ears were
better. said to her husband. with g. re-
assuring smile:
Never mind. dear. Go to sleep. It
will do you ever so much more good !"

institutions were severed The charge
was that there were professionals or
disqualified players on the V. P. 1. team.
and for that reason the varsity boys
would not engage that institution in

for a long time that the schools get
together. and it looks now as though
such will be done, and that the teams
will meet in this city the coming fall.

No-Rim-Cut Tires

nothing extra, because of our enormous production

We have sold half million Goodyear
No-Rim-Cu tires. and last year our tire
sales trebled. Yet, until lately. these
premier tires cost 20 per cent more than
the ordinary.
All because the tires can't rim-cut. and
because Goodyear tires are 10 per cent
