Following are extracts from recent
letters from some of Americas greatest
men on the value Of business education:
Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Washington,
D. c., says: "Since have been elected
Speaker l have had it more thoroughly
impressed on me than ever before that a
thorough business college training is of
exceeding Importance.
O. M. Dickinson, Secretary of War,
Washington, D. c.: "Contemporane-
ously with taking my general education,
l took course in business college and
found it of value to me, not only gener-
ally, but in the practice of law"
r. B. Glenn, Ex-Governor of North

every one practical business education
for their children
Walter L. Fisher, Secretary Depart

"Colleges giving special instructions in
subjects pertaining to business life are
doing good work in the preparation OF
efficient workers in the business life Of
the country"
J.A. P. Howe, United States Repre-
sentative: "To my mind the world is
rapidly outgrowing the old theory that
an education consists largely in practi-
cal lines of study, and is taking up the
theories that an education should fit the
student for some line of practical worn
in life.''

difference the right Parisiana model will make in
your appearance. Your mirror will reveal to you
how this corset will mold your whole figure to the
slender graceful lines without strain or pressure
anywhere. These wonderful shaping corsets are
not high in price-$1.O0, $3.50, $500, $500 and
$500; imported silk fabrics cost more. Will you
call and have Parisiana sent out for you to try
on? No obligations to keep the corset unless you
want to- Why not come in to-day?

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size Of
a silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
Piles and wherever that touched it caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be Of any use.
"Then I got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything We put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after I washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off, 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely
be scared, but it is not" (Signed)

MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved, but Further Work
Is Needed to Stamp Out
Tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives ex.
listed, and the entire number of beds
in the United States was only 10000.
while these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DIR. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National association, in commenting
on the subject, there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one of the 10000 BEDS including
those for pay patients. In other words.
we have from 100000 to 100000 con-
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves.
If tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out in the United States,
more hospital provision for these foci
Of Infection must be provided"

Millent's deep voice.
Little Mrs. Cabot drew her face in
to proper solemnity to meet the coun-
tcnance of her guest.
Indeed l do, Miss Millent," she
said earnestly. II told my husband
last night that l should certainly ex-
ert my privilege as a voter and cast
q ballot at the school board election
tomorrow"
"And what did Mr.. Cabot say to
that?" asked Miss Millent agrees
sively.
Mrs. Cabot blushed warmly. "He
didn't say anything" she admitted;
"he just smiled-well, you know the
way men smile when a woman at
tempts anything out of her sphere"
Pardon me, Mrs. Cabot, but l take
exception to that phrase! Enjoy
ment of the suffrage is entirely with
in woman's sphere, as you call 1t,
and especially in the election of a
school board, should a woman come
prominently to the front and declare
her sentiments"
''Of course you are right, Miss Mil
lent" fluttered Mrs. Cabot. ~ told
Mr.. Cabot that should consider it
my duty to vote upon the school mat
ter for the sake of the baby If moth
ing else. He will be growing up very
soon and the question of his educa-

"You must vote for the sake of the
cause" insisted Miss Millent in a
displeased tone.

there wouldn't be any cause-they
are future citizens" protested Mrs..

aside and arose to her tall height
II can count on you to vote for

and her farewell was frigid indeed.
