For Women Who Care

Of course you use an antiseptic in your
family and in the care of your own per-
son, and you want the best.
Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try PaItine,
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed.
Paxtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.

her husband fling out at her that she
was no wife for a poor man. Besides
considering this a poor reward for
her thrift Mrs. Schroeder felt that It
came with peculiarly bad grace from
one who in the same period had spent
$50 on himself for haircuts, cigars
and smoking tobacco. Feeling this
so keenly she even drew up an item

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Aug. 15.-That
"the invisible agency connecting the
heavens and earth is electro-mag-
netism' is announced by Rev. j. 5.
Ricard in charge Of the Observatory
at Santa Clara College, who recently
made public a method Of forecasting
the weather from sun spots.
Father Ricard also gives out a
list OF dates of disturbances for The
Pacific coast up to the end of the
first week OF September, as follows;
August IA to II, August p to a.
August q to 81 and September to
g. According to Father Ricard these
disturbances will cross to the At
lantic ocean.
"A new feature of our forecasting'
the statement continues, "is that,
even though a solar storm vanishes
entirely from sight and no telescope
in existence can reach 1t yet, by fol-
lowing its attenuated and dying traces
right around the parallels OF solar
latitude and applying our rule-a
very simple arithmetical formula-the
same results are obtained as when a

CRUCIFIX
SAVED BOYS LIFE

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 15-Baring
a sinewy arm, on which was tattooed
rough imprint of a crucifx, the
Rev. Thomas Needham. a well-known
Baptist evangelist, held $500 people
spellbound at the religious service at
Lemon Hill while he related how that
crucifix saved his life many years ago
when he was captured by cannibals in
Patagonia.
The Baptist preacher, who is a
resident of Collingswood. n. j., told a
story that made fiction look common
place. He was born in the north of
Ireland, he said, and when a boy of
13 accidentally became a stowaway.
He was playing hide and seek with
some companions and during an in
teryal in the game fell asleep aboard
tramp schooner. When he awoke
the vessel had put to sea and the lad
was delivered over to a brutal sea
captain, a South ireland native, who
vented all his hatred of the North
islanders upon the friendless boy.
Cast 10 Cannibals.
For months the lad was beaten and
kicked at will, and when the coast of
Patagonia was sighted the captain
conceived the plan of putting the boy
ashore and allowing him to be eaten
by cannibals Although the captains
wife prayed to her husband to be
merciful, this was done.
Meanwhile, during the voyage, the
captain had tatOOed various parts OF
the boys body, seemingly to enjoy
his pain. Among other things he
tattooed a crucifix on Needhams left
arm.
A few hours after he had been ma
rooned the lad was discovered by a
band of cannibals, who carried him
into the interior. Upon arriving al
their village they stripped Needham
preparatory to slaughtering and
feasting upon him, when. beholdinf
the crucifix, wonderful change
came over his captors.
Many years before, il seems. the
Jesuits had engaged in missionary
work among the barbarians, and
among other things told them the
story Of the cross and of Christ'l
second coming. The simple savagel
had received a story from their fore
fathers to the effect that a God, ths
Man who formerly died on the cross
in Palestine, was going to visit them
Thought Him a God.
The tattooed cross on Needhamf
arm convinced the most skepuca
that the stranger was this long
