THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
FOR SAFETY

Now. here, madam, is something

century's nobest contribution to sci

living savant, gave the best years of
his life to the perfection of this mar :.
Vicious engine. He looked around him
and saw homes laid desolate by the
fret fiend and he saw widows and ORTIZ
ans wailing over the ashes of their
lares and penates, and he. said to him.

for the house to catch fire So he'd
have an excuse to use them, but of
course houses never do burn down
when YOU want them to, and he was
bitterly disappointed. He was deter
mined to see what the grenades would
do to fire, however, so one day when
there was good fire in the cook stove
he opened one of them and poured the
contents on the flames.
The agent who sold them talked !

THEY POINT WITH PRIDE.

The one thing Champ Clark and his
followers expected to point to with
pride next year was the campaign
publicity bin. which is discovered to
be far less effective than the speaker
or the country supposed.
Attention Is called to the fact that
Champ Clark told the country in his
Quincy speech, attacking the admins
tration, that this publicity law would
be one of the pillars on which the
democrats would lean for chief sup
port In 1912. The very next day after
he had Landed The act as one of the
great popular achievements. of the
democratic house majority. Senators
Martin and swanson Of Virginia filed
their expense accounts, at the same
time announcing that the new law did
not actually require the publicity of
such accounts for candidates for the
house or senate.
Inquiry Is being made now who got

THE CAUSES or FIREs.

Ex-Chief Edward f. Croker of New
York tells in The Worlds Work how
we lose hundreds of millions of prop
erty and thousands of lives every year
by fire. These are the things he at

Carelessness in factories, which in
most cases means dirt and rubbish and
oily waste.
CareIessness in the use of matches.
Do you stop to watch where lighted

Bad electric wiring.
Careless housekeeping.

hours later there is call for the fire.

Mr.! Editor. The Sabbath day of the

day that Christ healed the leper and

Sabbath day that God rested on and
blessed. The Sabbath day is the sew

law from MT. Sinai keep this day at

SHOWING BIG DIVIDENDS.

The whaling industry is showing
signs of revival in various parts of
the world, and the temperance of

ing Of large dividends has prompted
New Bedford to make a new start at
the business.
In a recent consular report we find
these notes which indicate that wha -
ing not only lives, but lives happily
and prosperously:
The dividend of "a 1-2 per cent. just
declared by the whaler Balaena of
Dundee has attracted attention to the
handsome profits at present realized
from this industry. Last year the
dozen or so of whalers which prose-
cute the fishing from Dundee had the
most successful season experienced for
two decades, and reports just to hand
indicate that the Norwegian compa-
MES are also enjoying a high degree
of prosperity. AS many as 20 expe-
ditions, with crews aggregatng 100
men, are at work. Indeed, so marked
is the degree of success met with that
the increased supplies of whalebone
were last year held responsible for the
sharp decline in values which took
place Stimulated to emulation, Tyne
firm is about to despatch five vessels
three whales, factory ship and an
oil carrier-to operate in the vicinity
of Kergulen island where the Norwe-
gians already have stations. Three of
the vessels will be adapted for fuel
OIL Norwegian whaling companies
are also reaping enormous dividends
in southwest African waters, and a
German company has just been formed
with a capital of s243,325 to participate
in the industry there.
The whaling industry revived as
above appears to be most inviting and

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HuMoR

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard Of. My mother had child
who had rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In few days the head was
solid mass, running sore. It was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, box of Cuticura Ointment,
and q bar Of -cutiouEa Soap. We gave
the Reso1vent as directed, washer the
head with the lCuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the childs head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head of hair. think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample
Of each, with 32-page book, will be

Renewed INTEREST IN LIFE
Something Really Happened at Recep-

Encouraged.

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Mics
tea yesterday afternoon detected an
odor of something burning. They
looked at each other knowingly and
said: poor Mrs. Mize, something is
burning up in the kitchen" But the
odor grew stronger, and at last one
woman said: ut smells as though
feathers are burning" Then sudden
ly one woman screamed: MRS. Chal-
Hiss, look at your hat!" Sure enough,
Mrs. Jim Challiss had been standing
near lighted candle, and the aigrette
on her hat was on fire.
The guests had great time putting
out the fire. The aigrette was what
the insurance men call a total loss.
An Atchison woman who has gone to
thousands of receptions says the burn
ing of the aigrette yesterday is the
first time she ever knew anything to
really happen at reception. She
has given up going because nothing
ever happened, but now will start in

THOUGHT MADE HIM HURRY

Victim of a Sudden and Hor-

"The late DR.. George W. Bailey of
New York." said a Presbyterian d.
vine, was thoroughly modern in his
methods, but he did think that some
OF our surgeons went too far.
DIR. Bailey, apropos of certain reck-
less abusers of the knife, used to tell
story of an appendicitis club.
AT a meeting of this club pallid
member said:
Well, friends, had to be reopen
ed last week. My doctor had left a
sponge inside me-
was reopened, too said a gaunt
man. I was reopened just ten days
ago. Prof. Cutler had forgotten to
remove pair of forceps'
cat this demonstrating chap
groaned, jumped up, and made for the
door.
What's the matter?' they asked
him. Where are you off to in such
rush,
I'm off to my doctor's,' the man re-
piled. I remember now that, just aft
er came to, he complained about
mlslaying his hat and stick"
