1T Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, SO essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only matter Of little
thoughtful care in the selection OF
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample of
each, with 92-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of tuberculosis and Other Pre-
ventable Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
pulies are trying TO find method for
reducing the cost of life insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policy-holder OF a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about 500 a year on his premiums If
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such policy holder of from
S16.70 at twenty TO $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation OF life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems TO
he declining. the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
| culosis says that the combined effort
of every man. woman and child is nee
essary to bring about radical reduc-
ton in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has indicated.
