NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Proflted by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part Of
England, and he learned lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was. discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to a lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened TO notice
spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began its
ascent, 1t slipped Time and time
again It tried to mount, but each time
1t failed The king watched intently,
forgetful of all else. An hour passed,
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only a few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them. and from
this incident came the old saying, IF
at first you don't succeed try again"

Milky WAY Causes Glaciers

Another suggested cause OF glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting OF the milky way, such as
is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much OF the earth's heat comes
from the stars, DIR. Rudolf Spitaler
hnds that the change of position in re-
lation to the milky way might have
given different distribution of tenn
perature from that existing at the
present time. The stars are not only
crowded in the region of the milky
way, but many of them are of the hot

DISFIGURING ECZEMA CURED

"My nephew first showed signs Of
eczema on the middle finger, and it
came out like a blister. He must have
rubbed his face with that hand, as it
then broke out on his nose the same
way. When the blisters broke, they
shrivelled up and formed scabs. His
nose was covered with scabs, and it
was very itchy. He was badly dis
figured with unsightly scabs. At first,
his nose was sore, and it gradually
became worse so his mother took him
TO the doctor. He told her to rub the
scabs off every day, and anoint the
affected part with the medicine he
gave her.
1.-THE man must have been insane,
as that was extreme torture to the
child who was only two years old at
the time. Well, we decided that that
treatment would have to end. I sug-
gested Cuticura Ointment and they
bought 1t and put it on freely every
day for two weeks. He had the &C.
zema for four weeks altogether, but
was getting gradually worse until they
used the Cuticura Remedies, and he
was cured in two weeks. He most
certainly would have been SCARED
with the other treatment, but now he
hasn't a single mark Cuticura Rem
edies cured him in two weeks, and
now we always keep them in the
house" (Signed) Miss Ida Slavin, 2S3

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
The Emperor of Rome Admired the
Courage and Pluck of
Caractacus.

One of the most unique captives
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared to
try to brighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never so much as quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
"You fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves.
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart of the en-
peror, and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see If Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that if he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never had before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor of a
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
"NIy personal experience in the use
of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
q Philadelphia editor, 80 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further exc
position in that direction would seem
to be supertluous. They have bene-
fitted me so much. however, during

that the expression implies as to a

prescribed various medicines, which

as the chief articles of my diet.

wish to say it with all the emphasis
possible to the English language,
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food that ever came on my
table.
my experience is that the Grape
Nuts food has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to a most
positive degree. How 1t does 1t I
cannot say, but l know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one
