BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was siS months old he broke out on his head with little bumps. They would dry up and leave a scale. Then 1t would break out again and 1t spread all over his head All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over In red bumps and 1t kept spreading until 1t was on his hands and arms. l bought several boxes of ointment. gave him blood medicine. and had two doctors to treat him, tut he got worse all the time. He had 1t about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. l sent and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment In three days after using them he began to i'm prove. He began to take long maps and to stop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of Resolyent. two boxes of Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he was sound and well. and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came out in little eurls all over his head I don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuti- cura.
 T have bought Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have never known them to fall to cure what put them on. Cuticura Soap Is the best that have ever used for toilet purposes" tSigned) Mrs F F. liar mon. k. F D. 9, Atoka. Tenn. Sept 10, 1910.

Not Sufficiently Eaoer.

A little miss of five years was under the ban of disobedience. She had been told to put away her playthings, as it was near bedtime. She did not obey the command, and, when forced to do so. gave way to petulant display of temper. Her father, who was up- stairs, heard the commotion, and, be- ing made acquainted with the cause, summoned the child to his presence. Irma started to the stairs, but sud denly made turn, dashed along the hall. and out of the house. Of course she was soon captured. but her excite ment was so great that she was put to bed at once. Mothers efforts soothed the child and then she was asked Why did you run away when your father called you?" The reply came promptly enough: You don't SUD- pose. mamma, that l wanted whip. ping bad enough togo upstairs after if9"

The following is told of a federal official, formerly a senator of tho United States from Kentucky
 In the days of his youth the Ken tuckian was asked by friend to sec ond him in a duel. He consented, and at sunrise the parties met at the ap- pointed place.
 Now it was this Kentuckian's duty to say the last words touching the terms of the duel. But, although he faithfully performed this duty, the duel never took place.
 A murmur of Why not?" invariably goes round whenever this story is told, whereupon the answer is as fol lows:

ELECTRICITY At SMALL COST
Remarkable Discovery Of Frenehman
Expected to Make Revolution In
Price-lts Advantages.

Paris.-A remarkable discovery,
which, it is believed. will make a
revolution in electric lighting, is an
nounced by young French scientist,
M. Dussaud, and is making great
sensation among experts. BY Its
means 1t is asserted that Illumination
can be produced at one.tiftieth part
Of the cost at present necessary
M. Dussaud's invention consists
partly in the repeated interruption
of low voltage current for frac-
ton of second each time. At each
cutoff the lamp rests for an infin.
itesimal period, so short that the eye
receives the impression Of continuous
light, but long enough to allow the
flament to cool. Combined with this
Intermittent current small lamps
about an inch in diameter are
used, with a fllament of tungstenate.
which offers very little resistance to
the current, and yet gives a light
thirteen and half times greater
than any of the lamps now on the
market.
The consequence of the alternate
heating and cooling Of the flament is
that the lamp remains practically
cold, the surface never rising above
40 degrees centigrade. 1t can there
fore be placed as close as is desired
to the condenser of an optical in.
strument, thus enormously increasing
the light. With low current light
