TR0UT's MEMORY

An expert in fish culture, who be
neVes that fish have memories. gave
novel exhibition to support his
theory. In one of the inclosed pools
at the hatchery under his charge
there was large trout, which always
came forward to see and be seen
When visitors appeared 1t was the
experts custom, after calling particu.
lar attention to that trout, to raise
his cane quickly and hold it over the
water. The performance would have
no effect upon the trout. Then the
expert would produce a light trout rod
AID appear with it at the side Of the
pool. Instantly that trout would turn
and flee, hide itself at the far end OF
the inclosure, and remain there as
long as the rod was In sight. This is
the explanation of the sudden change
in the trout's demeanor: One day,
early in the career of the fish, the ex-
pert, to try barbless hook he had
devised, cast with one In that pool,
and this trout seized 1t. The hoos
penetrated and passed through its up.
per jaw, and by the time 1t was re
leased from the hook it had under
gone an operation that made a last
ing impression upon it.

BANKS ODD CALLERS

The Bank Of England has just dis.
pensed with the services of the two
detectives who have stood sentry at it's
front door for over quarter og cen
tury. During the period many were
their, odd experiences, for there are
many people at large who think they
own the Bank of England or part of
it, and they call periodically with the
idea of making an inspection Of the
premises. Then there is the individual
who would go up to the sentry box,
tap the detective on the arm, and ask
IN an undertone, Which is the way to
the cashiers desk? want to change
a cheque for million pounds" An
other would ask to be directed to the
strong room, where my large diamond
collection is kept, by permission Of his
majesty" Then there were the claim
ants those who imagined they were
heirs to the throne, and that the bank
would be theirs as soon as they had
proved their claim. Even visitors In
rags would call and demand to be al
lowed to count over their securities.

Il suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by lit
tie pimples breaking out I kept
scratching till the blood came. 1t kept
getting worse, Z couldn't. sleep nights
any more. It kept itching for about a
month, then went to a doctor and
got some liquid to take. It seemed
as if I was going to get better. The
itching stopped for about three days,
but when it started again, was even
worse than before The eczema itched
SO badly couldn't stand it any more.
Il went to doctor and he gave me
some medicine, but didn't do any good.
We have been having Cuticura Rem
edies in the house, so I decided to try
them. had been using Cuticura
Soap, so I got me a box of Cuticura
ointment, and washed off the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times
day, and then put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on. The first day ] put it on, it
relieved me of itching so I could sleep
all that night. It took about a week,
then could see the scab come off. I
Kept the treatment up for three weeks,
and my eczema was cured.
My brother got his face burned
with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment The people all
thought he would have scars, but you
can't see that he ever had his face

at before the Cuticura Remedies

When to CaIlthe Doctor

When to summon the doctor is a
point which has probably puzzled most
people at one time or another, but in
the case of throat and intestinal
troubles there should be no uncertain
ty, says medical authority The doe
tor should be summoned at once, for
the sore throat may be diphtheria, and
the Intestinal symptoms may mean
per1tonitis, appendicitis or any one of
dozen complaints of serious char

opportunity may be wasted by wait
