ing makes any approach to either
beauty or the artistic. On the con-
trary, all Of the work Is rough and
rudely performed.
However, there Is an element of the
odd and grotesque in all Of these carv-
ings, crude though they are. In point
of art the work may be compared to
the rude paintings Of the plains In
dams on their skins composing their
rude tents or tepees, buffalo robes, etc.
Generally the figures carved on
these totems are those representing
human beings, particularly the faces.
features, ETC., all Of which are extreme
ly grotesque-and even drolly fantastic
in shape and crude expression. OF
course the forms Of various wild ami
mails, fish and marine creatures, ETC.,
are carved on these pieces Of wood. In
point of size these totem figures vary
from mere toy dimensions, up to very
large size. Some of the figures are
feet and even yards in length. When
large these queer appearing figures
are carved out of the solid tree or log
and form part of It.
The totems are invariably exposed.
like those shown In the illustration,
in the streets, along roadways, trails,
the seashore and in many other
places.

SCALP HEALED IN FOUR DAYS

at affords me pleasure to tell of the
good Cuticura Soap and Ointment
have done my little girl. She had
eczema on the scalp last fall. The
trouble began this way. First a small
mattery pimple appeared. The pimple
broke and the matter, a watery sub
stance, ran on the skin, forming a hard
crust which was very itchy. 1t was on
the top of her head, and the crust be-
came as large as the palm of my hand.
My doctor said it was eczema.
IT used a remedy but had no success
with 1t. I used it nearly two weeks,
then a friend recommended Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Ointment, applied it on the
scalp at night and morning, and in
four days the scalp was all healed, no
sign of crusts or scabs could be seen.
Then I washed her hair with Cuticura
Soap. She has not had a sign of &C.

ment cured her, and I shall always
keep them in my house. I a prove

Mrs. Jim Challiss had cen standing

Deaths Due to Dust,

A warning against the dangers of
dust was issued recently by the Ma
honal Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in which
it is shown that the percentage of
deaths caused by tuberculosis In
dusty trades is more than double that
for all employed men In the registra-
ton area of the United States. While
among males generally in the regis
tration area of the United States 14.5
per cent. of all deaths are from con-
sumption, the mortality among grind
ers from this disease Is 1872 per cent,
and in hardly any of the dusty
trades is it below rs per cent. The
percentage of deaths from %tuberculo-

dust, 28.6 per cent; to vegetable fibre
