WHY EAGLES ARE BALD.

~ NCE upon a time all eagles
had fine feathers on their heads,
but one day something happened
to an eagle which made him and
all of his children bald even down to
this day. And this is hoy It came
about.
A fox, wolf and an eagle lived very
near each other in a deep woods, but

So Miss Wolf told the others that she
would like to mako an agreement WITH
them about planting crop Oh the land,
She said she would stay at home and
cook tho meals while Mr.. Fox could
plow the land and Mr.. Eagle could
drop the corn In the rows.
80 early IN the morning all three set
to work. Miss Wolf began cooking a
fine dinner of roast chicken and cherry
pies. Mr.. Fox threw the reins around
the plow-handle and started in, while
Mr.. Eagle filled his pockets full of
the seed in a hole every few steps.
Presently the eagle tired, then ne smel.

had finished. he flew back to the field.
But Miss Wolf came into the kitchen
IN few minutes and found all the fine
dinner gone. On the floor were several

Safest Antiseptic
For Women to Use

In every household you will find
among the toilet necessities some sort
of a germicide, in the form of either
tablet, solution or powder. Many of
these antiseptic Preparations contain
poisons, and unless the greatest care is
used, much harm is done to the persons
using them.
The value of an absolutely harmless
antiseptic powder, as compared wit. a
poisonous tablet or solution, is appar-
ent to everyone, and that is one reason
why physicians everywhere have
strongly recommended the use of Ty-
reefs Antiseptic Powder. Tyree's Anti
septic Powder should commend itself
therefore to every household. Unequal
ed as douche. A 25 cent package
makes two gallons of. standard solu-
ton. Sold by druggists everywhere.

upon a time that the trade which had
the most followers was that Of doctor.
To prove his assertion he left his home
one morning to go to the palace with
his nightcap on and his jaws wrapped
up. The first person he met stopped
him with the question, What is the
matter with you, GOnelle?" "A terrible
toothache." "Oh. is that all? I'll tell
you what will cure it." And every per-
son he met had some advice to give
him. When the jester reached the
dukes chamber the same question and
answer were repeated. "Ah," said the
prince. II know of something that will
take the pain right away" Gonelle

apparent concava appearance and had
given to the pillars on the Parthenon
and other ancient buildings just such
a bulge as was necessary to destroy
