1T is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think Of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 81 L, Bos-
ton, will secure liberal sample Of
each, with 92-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

BOUNDARIES FOR THE PARK
No Good Reason Why Straight Lines
of Government Survey Should
Be Followed.

The determination Of the bound
aries of park is often very intimate
ly related to radical questions of de-
sign. The boundaries adopted for a
park are often the boundaries used by
the previous private owners, and in
the west almost all such boundaries
are the straight lines of the original
government land surveys or of sub
divisions based upon them and which
are generally purely arbitrary rec
tangular boundaries bearing no har-
monious relation with the topography
except in the few cases where the
land Is fiat. Such arbitrary rectangu-
lar boundaries are often hideous mis-
fits with respect to the local topog-
raphy. particularly If, as Is often the
case, the site has been selected for a
park because of Its strongly-marked
topography. Such arbitrary boundaries
are also sometimes badly out of &C.
cord with certain requirements of a
good design for the improvement OF
the particular ground in question. In
these hard boundary lines there Is a
fine chance for skillful planting, so
that roads doubling back from the
line should not too closely approach
the actual boundary. 1t should appear
that traffic can go no farther straight
ahead by reason of encountering the
edge of a forest. So planted the
park may be made to appear many
times its actual size and the extent
need never be known by visitors.

During recent years the growing
tendency toward surgical interference
to cure disease has been subject OF
unfavorable comment both In and out
of the medical profession. 1t has be-
come the general belief that many
practitioners are too ready to resort to
the knife. For this reason opinions OF
prominent surgeons, as expressed at
the congress recently held In Chicago
commend themselves as evidence OF
Baner professional view. These sur
geons announce that the reaction has
set In, and that the drift Is away from
operations and toward greater de-
pendence upon medicine. AS the ideas
acquired at this congress will be I'M
pressed on the profession all over the
country the effect of the discussions
should be generally apparent. Let us
hope that surgeons will bear In mind
the advice Of men eminent In their
profession, who protest against oper-
atoms that are not absolutely neces-
Sary, says the Chicago Daily Journal.
While the splendid achievements OF
modern surgery inspire admiration 1t
should not be forgotten that Its re-
sources are designed to be used only
when less radical treatment proves I'M
availing.

A NEoL.lTHIc VILLAGE.

What is thought to be a neolithic
walled village has been discovered
near the main road between Harrogate
and Bolton abbey. at spot a rev
miles from Otley, by W. Storey OF
Fewston. member of the Royal Arch
geological society Of Great Britain and
Ireland. The discovery may be divid-
ed into two parts. says the London
Times. In a dell behind hill are
twenty-four stone circles, varying III
diameter from twenty to three feet'
the whole being surrounded by evil
dences OF a stone wall. One OF the
stone circles was a well. and two oth-
ers are indisputably iron-smelting fur
naces. A number of stone implements
which experts ascribe to the reollthlc
period, have been found. On SITE
above the village is a twenty-foot
stone circle, commanding magnificent
view for miles down the valley ana
evidently at one time used as look
out. On the other side Of the hill
are two stone circles connected by
huge stone slab, a small stone circle
filled with smaller circles about
eighteen inches in diameter and two
feet deep, containing charcoal, ana
two large circular erections. supposed
to have been used as a place of Wor-
ship and a crematorium.

LEWIS, "sINeLE BINDER"

A handmade cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made of good tobacco Is the ideal
smoke. The old, we'll cured tobaccos
used are SO rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked loo cigars now
smoke Lewis Single Binder Straight

dealer some more than other &c cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac
tory to use extra quality tobacco.

The self assurance of Senator Bail

the country. This unfortunate trait
in an otherwise rather brilliant man
and experienced legislator, was new
er more strikingly shown than in his
attempt to Corner" Senator Page in
a debate on the matter of duties on
hides, In the closing days of the re-
cent special session of congress. Sen
ator Page has been close student of
the hide question all his life, knows
every detail and has made a fortune
out of them Yet the Texas senator
tackled him with that remarkable de-
gree of confidence characteristic of
this Southern gentleman. Yermont's
Senator had Senator Bailey down
and out after the first engagement
and none of the quibbling methods
we'll known to this able lawyer,
could restore his equilibrium. If he
is not altogether too egotlstical to
learn. he undoubtedly gained a lot
OF information from the Vermonter,
however painful the injection OF the
knowledge may have been to him.

There is indication apparent, in
some quarters, of desire to keep
matters quiet on the ground that 1t is
too early to discuss candidates and
principles. This will not have much
weight. because the average voter de-
sires to have such things discussed
fully and freely 1t is the only way
they can learn about the men whom
