THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BABf'S

In the care Of baby's skin and hair,
Cuticura Soap is the mothers IA
vorite Not only is it unrivaled in
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor irri-
tat!ons, remove redness, roughness
and chafing, soothe sensitive condi-
tons, and promote skin and hair
health generally. Assisted by Cuti

the treatment of eczemas, rashes and

State Lines.

State lines are the most remarkable
feature of our landscape. By crossing
over a state line you may change
your speech entirely, acquiring soft
southern drawl or sharp Yankee
intonation, depending upon the direc
ton in which you travel.
Women can cross state line and
acquire the right to vote. Or they can
come back over it and discover that
they are no longer citizenesses, but
merely chattels shouting to be free.
Two feet one side of a state line
you may be bitten by all the rattle
snakes in the county and be unable to
purchase a remedy. But step to the
other side of the line and what is IL
legal becomes legal.
A man and woman may be divorced
on one side of state line and forbid.
den to remarry but by crossing the
line they may take unto themselves
new helpmeets.
A man may live on one side of e
state line and have his head taxed
off, while he may move to the other
side and be exempt from most of his
taxation.
A man may be summoned into court
on one side of a state line, but be
able to twiddle his fingers at the sher
iff on the other.
Thus we see that state lines are
the imaginary divisions Of idiosyncra.
sizes Of government.

of mountains and lakes, then heaved
sigh of discomfort. IF l had only
brought my runabout I-could have
gloried in those distant roads. 1t
positively maddens me to see them
trailing off like golden ribbons
through hills and dales and l can't
so much as walk on them" Madge
petulantly bemoaned the lack of her
motor.
While she gazed at the golden
band that was the motor road over
the mountains a speck appeared, NOV
ing steadily nearer Out of sight,
then in again, Madge watched it sud-
denly spring into the very near per-
spective. 1t stopped then and the girl
on the veranda lost all sense Of ennui.
An exceptionally good-looking
chauffeur had stepped from the car
and was preparing a campfire. Madge
Lambert shivered in the cool noun
tain air and realized that the fire
looked cozy. She watched the man
heat something in a swinging pail,
then stretch himself out to enjoy his
lunch.
Madge envied the man his COM
plete happiness, contentment, and,
more than all, she longed for the JOY
which the possession of that motor
gave him.
He can see every inch of this
glorious country" she lamented.
When he had finished his meal the
chauffeur got up, opened the door of
the car and there amidst the great
soft cushions proceeded to find inf.
mite comfort for nap.
Madge breathed a sigh of exhaus.
ton. She had concentrated with SO
much interest on the man that she
felt a relief when he succumbed to
the arms of Morpheus. Sitting a
second yawn she arose and decided
upon a stroll. Her willing feet led
her in the direction of the sleeping
chauffeur. She would inspect that
beautiful car at closer range and
most probably, without being seen.
When she drew near the spot where
he had elected to camp Madge felt
strangely excited. The little har
bingers of an adventure were singing
In her ears.
II do not see how he has escaped
being caught by an heiress like my
SELF" exclaimed Madge mentally upon
seeing the handsome head of the
sleeping man. He Is far too good
looking to be roaming about nesI
susceptible girls"

SOME BIRDS ARE FASTIDIOUS
Bathing In Clean, Cold Water Keeps
Them In Health and Is One of
Their Summer Joys.

Polly have bath! Polly have BATH"
The reiterated cry from a large green
parrot, who stood in tin basin full
of water ecstatically tapping his scar
let wings.
Few persons who keep bird pets
know how to prevent them wrom Ian
gushing in the summer heat. Little
do they imagine that big and small
birds alike are simply longing with all
their tiny hearts for cold bath. Their
owners, it is true, supply their small
prisons with water in little glass
vases; but these are for drinking pur-
poses-not for the luxury of a restor-
ing and indiscriminate splash.
No; let those who really love their
feathered friends provide little swim
ming baths for the birds. They must,
of course, vary according to the birds
size. Whereas pudding basin would
accommodate canary, parrot
would require something more COM
modious.
Then place the bird in his cage
where he can gambol unmolested. In
the back yard on the lawn, or on
the scullery floor are equally good po-
sitions. Anyone who knows anything
Of birds knows that, although mar
ticulate, they appreciate comfort.

HIS WAYS AND MEANS
Chauffeur Is Caught by an Heir.
eSS.
By CATHERINE cooPE.

When the smash came. Jimmy Con-
stable was totally unprepared for it.
There had been no warning that his
stocks would crash down and leave
him with less ready capital than he
had possessed when he began to
speculate. But the certain knowledge
that stocks ascend as readily, kept
Jimmy from mental worry.
'In the meantime must live"
Jimmy cast a rueful glance at his big,
healthy frame and sighed. After that
he donned his slightly worn thinking
cap and sat down to ponder ways and
means. In the end, he decided to
maintain his right to a pleasurable
existence as well as a money-maklng
one.
Jimmy Constable had but one hob
by, and that was big one. He loved
his great, speedy touring car almost
as we'll as most men love their wives.
Jimmy had not, fortunately for the
moment, acquired one of the latter.
1t would have worried him to know
that a girl would have to share with
him his present more or less precari-
Gus fortunes.
He sold every priced bit of costly
antique furniture with which his
bachelor home was filled to over
flowing, but retained his touring car.
Jimmy gazed with a lovers eyes
at the polished brasses, the olive
green coat and the great coy cush.

"You will be my home-till-''
Jimmy paused with speculative eyes,
well, until stocks take boost" He
cast last look at the home in which
the auction cards were still hanging
in the windows, cranked his engine
and throbbed off toward the green
fields of the country.
On the wide veranda of a spacious
mountain hotel, Madge Lambert
raised dainty hand to her mouth
to stifle yawn.
Il am unutterably bored" she told
herself by way of excuse. She gazed
out over the magnificent perspective
