BABY'S TERRIBLE CONDITION

when my baby boy was six months
old, his body was completely covered
with large sores that seemed to itch
and burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
eve tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors too. I think the Cuticura
Remedies will do all that is claimed
for them, and a great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson,
Mont, Jan. rs, 1911. Although Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
sample of each, with 32-page book,

Of skinning a neighbours sheep, COW
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live.
The logic of this is equaled by that
of the Yankee soldier who once had a
narrow escape from an enraged gan
der. The men of a certain Maine regi-
ment, which was in the enemy's coun-
try in 1862, considered the order mo
foraging" an additional and uncalled-
for hardship One afternoon about
dusk, a soldier was seen beating a
rapid retreat from the rear of a farm
house near by, closely pursued by a
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground. and from whose beak issued a
succession of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
of the gander's owner: Hold on,
man, hold on! He won't hurt you!"
Call off your gander! Call him Off"
shouted the fleeing soldier. Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside
the camplines, when the soldiers
friends relieved him of his fierce pur-
suer with the aid of the butt Of a
musket. Did that gander think he
could chase me like that and live!"
the soldier exclaimed. as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said
nothing of the baited hook, with cod
line attached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortunate gan
der's strange actions.

THE OLD PLEA
He "Dldn't Know II Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
a severe poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
81 was a lover of coffee and used it
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects l was suffering from its
use. (Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because it, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee)
"At first was troubled with indiges-
ton. 1 did not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffee, but thought it
arose from other causes. With these
attacks l had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was in such q condition could scarce,
ly retain any food.
Il consulted physician; was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
ton, but was not informed what
caused the Indigestion. l kept on with
the coffee, and kept on with the trou-
bles, too, and my case continued to
grow worse from year to year until it
developed into chronic diarrhea, nau-
sea and severe attacks Of vomiting. /
could keep nothing on my stomach and
became a mere shadow, reduced from
159 to 128 pounds.
"a specialist informed me l had a
very severe case of catarrh Of the
stomach, which had got so bad he
could do nothing for me, and became
convinced my days were numbered.
Then l CHANGED to see an article set
ting forth the good qualities of Postum
and explaining how coffee injured peo-
!. pie SO l concluded to give Postum a
Atrial. I soon saw the good effects-my
Fheadaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long in
tervals and was soon a changed man,
feeling much better.
Then l thought I could stand coffee
again, but as soon as tried it my old
troubles returned and again turned
to Postum. Would you believe it, l
did this three times before had sense
enough to quit coffee for good and
keep on with the Postum. am now

Cecily was born for romance. She
hated anything that smacked of the
commonplace. Hence when she saw
Bruce Esmond, for the first time, she
believed herself madly in love with
him.
Bruce was an artist with a leaning
toward illustration. He set up his
easel one April day on the edge of q
newly plowed field, and proceeded to
make sketch of Cecilys father.
Mr., Drake resented not only the
impertinence Of having himself put in
a picture-but in being put in one
when he was not dressed in his Sum
day best. So he told Bruce Esmond
to go elsewhere for his inspiration.
Then Cecily interfered.
why, father, he paints such lovely
things" she said, Gust look at those
horses"
Drake grudgingly admitted that
Remus and ROmulus looked we'll, and
compromised on a sketch in which he
should be left out
lou can put IN the held and the
sky and the horses" he stated gen
erously, but not me-"
Then he went on blowing and Cecily
and Bruce Esmond proceeded to get
acquainted.
Bruce said the conventional
things-that Cecily was too pretty to
be buried in the country, that he was
tired of city women with their feath-
ers and furbelows, that Cecily rested
him and pleased him.
Thus, Cecily believed herself madly
in love with him and if it had not been
for the Wayfarer she would either
have married Bruce to live unhappily
ever after, or she would not have
married him and would have felt her
self broken-hearted.
The Wayfarer came slouching along
the road in old clothes, with a fishing
creel slung over his shoulder and
rod in his hand. He did not compli-
ment Cecily at all He simply asked

English Poet Thinks Present Day
ReaIists Get Their Stories
From the Sewers.

William Watson. the English poet,
who has been visiting this country, in
voicing his opinion of the problem
novels says things in way that many
people have doubtless thought, but not
been so well able to express. He says:
But, why should the novelists make
problems" of these things? Is the
great mass of the people interested in
a depressing discussion of them? For
most of us they are not problems at
ALL In the hands of the so-called
realistic" writer, however, they fur
nish an opportunity for prudence, for
the exploitation of scenes and situa-
lions which were eschewed by the
great novelists Of the past as being
unhealthy and demoralizing. l think
the tendency of our present day real
lists is to take the Goddess Cloacip2
for their muse, and to hunt through
the mere sewers and dregs of human
life for their stories.
