"WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA S0AP?"

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion Is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose. while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to It all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
It is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy. and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, 1t is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that 1t wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making its
use, in practice. most economical
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"

used-up feeling, which practically I'M

began to use it. Although 1t was In

FOOLED THE HUNGRY PIKE
Pair Of Swans Carried cygne.s From
Home Pool to Another One
Mile and Hail Away.

That swans possess some power OF
reasoning seems to be proved by the
following story, which is told by H. G.
Hutchinson:
He says "On a certain pond
par of these birds had for two success
sive years Matched out a pair OF cyg-
nets, only to find the young, fluffy
things devoured long before they came
70 the properly feathered age by one
or other of the large pike which lived
In the pond This last spring the
swans made their nest in the usual
place, Matched out their cygnets as
before. but as soon as the cygnets
were Matched disappeared from the
pond altogether parents, babies and
all.
There is another pond or lake. at
distance of mile and half or 30
from the first, and on this lake the
swans were found to be with their
young ones. The puzzle was to know
how they had got there. Their wings
were so pinioned that they could not
lily, and there were some very stiff and
close fences between the one pond
and the other.
subsequently countryman said
that he had seen one of them walk
ing over the fields that lie between
the ponds. He had noticed nothing
more than the old swan walking. but
there is little doubt that had he been
nearer or looked closer he would have
seen that 1t was carrying a cygnet,
or the pair Of them, on its back. AL
most certainly the birds had walked
and carried their young with them
from the one pond to the other.
How they got through the fences is
still unexplained, nor is 1t understood
how they knew the second pond to
be there, since it does not seem that
they had ever visited 1t before. But
their wisdom and enterprise. which
were so highly commendable. were
justified by the results.
They reared their cygnets success
fully In this other pond wherein there
were no pike, fact which we might
almost fancy the swans, with their
supernatural cleveness, had ascer-
tained before they made their diff
cult transit. Country Life.
