CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

IT think the Cuticura remedies arc
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. Ny mother had q child
who had a rash on It's head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called It baby
rash. He gave US medicine. but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
. solid mass. running sore. 1t 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 a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed. washed tho
head with the Cuticura Soap. and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau.
tiful head of hair. think the Cuti.
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis

YOUNGSTERS TO GET CHANCE
New Corners VIII Dethrone Any Of
Leaders Of Last eeason-crop Is
Improving Right Along.

Young players who will make their
debuts In National and American
league company will have great
chances to make good. No big deals
have been made and there are mono
in sight. With the present lineups of
the big teams 1t looks as though there
would be no change in the finish Of
the pennant races. II the leaders OF
last season are dethroned, 1t looks as
though 1t will have to be done through
the help of the new Corners.
1t isn't often that as many live ones
are produced as during the past sea
son. and for this. very reason the 1912
campaign may fail to show any start
ling stars among the juniors. Just
look at the gang Of healthy young
bandits that were hatched in 1911:
Alexander. Chalmers. Gregg, jackson.
Esmond. Kirke. Benton. HUMPHREYS.
Olson. Knapp. Marsans. Almeida.
Safer. Doyle. Cashion. Gainor. Drake.
Bodie. O'Brien. Danforth. Mccarthy
and Severoid. Is there much chance
that the new crop will average az
well as these performers?
1t would seem almost impossible to
duplicate such an array Of bright
young athletes. but some Of the scouts
insist that the younger crop Is i'm
proving right along. A few years ago
the opposite was generally understood
the country had been combed for
star players and they simply didn't
happen. II was widely stated and
was probably the case that there were
not enough real ball players to man
two big leagues-that each league was
almost to club equipped with few
stars to the team and a lot of dead
ones or never-could-bes. The young
sters were mostly pitchers. and the
ambition to become good innelder or
even a good batter seemed to have
died away.
Things have changed materially in
the past four years. Plenty OF fine
batsmen are growing up and taking
their proper places in the fast COM
pany. Good inflelders. fast gardeners
and now and then a classy catcher
can be found among the rising ath-
letes, and the new pitchers are Of =
superior pattern.

A Firm Hand
By BRYANT c. ROGERS

Many times before Doris Chatter
ton had reached the age of sixteen
her father and mother had said:
THAT girl needs firm controlling
hand. or she'll take the reins and
drive the team"
Doris didn't want to be bossed. She
wanted to boss others. She had a will
that struck sparks Of fire when op-
posed. and even when her father put
his foot down hard he wasn't quite
satisfied that he had won a victory.
At eighteen Doris had settled down
to the belief that she ran the house
and all in 1t. besides the township.
the county and parts of two adjoining
counties. All this. and yet she had
no enemies and few critics. It came
80 natural to her to domineer that
people insensibly gave way to 1t. She
didn't go around with chip on her
shoulder. but she Just sailed along
having her way.
Miss Doris was fond of horseback
riding. Gallants used to run out from
the city to ride with her. There were
also others living near by. For In
stance. there was young Mr.. Percy.
who was deeply in love. His mother
backed his suit, and almost the drst
thing she told him was:
Doris is very self-willed and
strong-minded. and you must be care
full not to Cross her. At the same
time. give her to understand that
should heroic occasion arise she will
find you a hero. 1t will be well to let
her know that you had three ances-
tors in the Revolutionary war"
Young Percy was making his court
ship on the lines laid down, when the
two went riding one afternoon. The
road they took was being improved
by the state at long. steep hill.
There was a natural wall of rock
there. and 1t was being blasted for
material to spread on the road. In or
der that the workmen. might have a
clear field, and to avoid injury to trav-
elers. a new road had been cut around
the hill for temporary use and signs
put up. Neither rider knew of the
rhange until reaching the road. Mr.

Frank Smith, the plano mover. for

having accepted the big pitchers
terms. Smith says he intends to quit
while his services are sought instead
of waiting until he 10 kicked out. He
believes. however. he could go along
for = year or so longer for the Gin
cinnati team and that he would pitch
good ball. The strenuous life Of the
diamond has lost its charm for the

and he longs for the quiet and indie

Percy had no complaints to make, but
Miss Doris Chatterton had. That
change had been made without notify
ing her. She had been ignored and
she didn't propose to stand 1t.
Where you going?" she demanded
of the young man as he refined into
the new road.
We've got to go this way"
We've got to do nothing Of the
kind. We shall go straight up the
hill"
But read that sign. 1t says: Blast

Then you had better turn back!"

mother had told him and followed.

hand and said:

other road"

Miss Doris.

But they did. At the next turn they
came upon a man who was inspecting

twenty-three years old. and though
having his coat of and overalls drawn
over his trousers no one could mis-
take him for one of the workmen. He
was cleanshaved. had a fine face and
