II will say that I have been suffer

the past few years. My hair fell out
in spots all over my head. My scalp
started to trouble me with sores, then
the sores healed up, and crustS
formed on the top. Then the hair fell
out and left me three bald spots the

than one doctor, but could not get any
relief, so / started to use the Cuticura
Remedies. I tried one bar Of Cuticura

Brockett returned at one o'clock,
accompanied by Ramon SoIano. He

was in CHEEKY spirits, and his genial

young visitors, who-long counted
among the most ardent admirers of
the general-were at first inclined to
bashfulness when actually in the pres

whose father had often spoken of Cen

the rush up San Juan Hill, was almost
in raptures over the unexpected in

not long left in suspense, for the old
warrior plunged into his reasons for
requiring their attendance in his Of

Brockett choked up, flushed, and
stammered a vague sentence which he
in all probability meant to signify ac-
ceptance of the proffered honor. The
general smiled, reassuringly.

and walked out into the busy thor.
oughfare.
Brockett's mother, a sweet-faced,
thoroughly feminine, but thoroughly
sensible woman, did not offer any serf-
Gus objections to her sons acceptance
of the strange commission so shortly
to be entrusted to his care. Mrs.
Brockett, in fact, cherished an abid-
ing belief in the foresight and the
cleverness Of her boy-a belief that he
could take care of himself under al
most any circumstances. Bertha
Brockett, Harry's only sister, was
much more worried over the possible
dangers Of the journey than either her
mother or the young athlete himself.
She forecasted terrors of the road and
hobgoblins of the passes. In her six
teen-year-old Imagination, Mexico
teemed with bandits, Yaqui savages,
and ferocious insurrectos. AS Miss
Brockett was not only eloquent. but
extremely pretty, her arguments might
have dissuaded almost any young ad-
venturer-unless the adventurer hap
pened to be her brother. Sisterly
counsels and entreaties have been
wasted on the wandering winds for
many centuries, and, presumably. al
ways will be,
Young Brockett had dined, had re-
ceived some excellent advice from his
mother. and had rebuffed the implor-
ing sister with much humor. He was
glancing over the evening paper, and
waiting the arrival Of Ramon Solano
or of the messenger who should bring
him his instructions, when the door

at once remembered the Japanese
whom he had seen stop Miss Lawson

sign of recognition as he looked in
quiringly at his Oriental visitor.

Brockett hurried home to break the
strange news to his mother, while So
lano agreed to notify his father that
he had decided to preface his vacation
by a few extra weeks of travel, and
made all possible speed to the nearest
Western Union office. The Cuban

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success Of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
msr So Pronounced that II
VIII Be Repeated.

Mothers Of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part Of July last summer VIII DO
interested In the success OF the BABY
tent" scheme adopted In some OF the
big cities.
The tents are placed on nat roofs OF
tall buildings and in open lots, Win
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent. When all was ready mothers
OF babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, so that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege of sleeping out of doors, could
also receive the attention Of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some Of the tents have perforated
Iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned On and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
tion it greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some OF the
tents were also kept cool by the use
of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart.
