GHOSTS EVER BOTHER YOU7
II So, Southern Negro Folks Say These
Simple Precautions Will Chase
'Em,

AS part Of the folklore Of the No
gro folks the superstitions of slavery
days are of great interest. The fol.
lowing are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel hot breath of air strike
you at twilight signified the nearby
presence of a ghost. Should you wish
to avoid him, stop and turn your coat
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
If, however, he is pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change, turn and address him thus:
In the name Of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never. never trouble you again.
If, on the other hand, it is prowling
ghost who crawls under the house,
bumps against the floor, makes
strange sounds, and whispers in the
midnight hours, you have only to put
In new floor and he will do SO no
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house, but
creep in through the crack of the door
in the wee small hours of the night,
and, once inside, expand to vast pro-
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way. SOW mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed, or place a sieve on the
doorstep.
Before entering, the spirit will have
to count all the holes in the sieve or
all the mustard seeds, and by this
time daylight will come and he will
have to go. AS the counting for one
night will not do for another you are
always safe.-Southern Workman.

ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA

Eight years ago l got eczema an
over my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and 1t itched until it almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. 1t spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. I
got pair of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then 1t spread all over
the left side OF my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. l cried night and
day. Then I decided to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as l had gone so long. There
was marked change the second day,
and so on until l was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in our home, and we decided
after that lesson that 1t is a cheap
soap in price and the very best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug" (Signed)
Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redonda Beach,
Cal. Jan. Is, 1911. Although Cuticura
Soap and Ointment are sold by drug
gists and dealers everywhere, a sam

the new law goes in effect. The question
of paying taxes does not seem to disturb
owners of dogs so much as having to pay

decided by the Court Of Appeals was not
property. According to our view and

many of the selections being stories in
themselves. told with elaboration and
detail The clubs are under the direc-
tion Of two skilled and experienced mus
clans, Prof Edward Glover and Mr.
Lloyd Miller Prof. Glover, who is con-
sidered one of Cincinnati's most skilled
and able musicians, is well known in
musical circles throughout the entire

ficient exhibition, The World in Gin
cinnati'' now going on in the Queen

men. This number has been arranged
with the greatest of care; special atten-
tion having been given TO the stage set
ting, in order to picture college life as it
/ is and 10 revive old memories of college
graduates. The singing Of number of
renowned and fascinating college songs,
makes the scene one of special interest.
The clubs are fortunate in having with
them this season Mr.. Robert Heuck, the
! famous German comedian. Mr.. Heuck
is the best comedian the Cincinnati Uni
versity has ever had. and his typical
verses. monologues and parodies are not
only timely, but pithy and humorous as
well.
Mr. Gus Hopf, the German tenor, and
Mr. Morris LaZaron, the mimic, are also
with the clubs this season, and will con-
tribute to the evenings entertainment.
As tenor soloist Mr.. Hopf has no equal

as soloist. impersonator and imitator,
his limitations being classed with the
best of their kind. Mr.. Lazaron is re-
ceived with enthusiasm wherever he
makes his appearance.

such weather only twenty-four- hours
