On the Training Of Girls

we see in some of the mixed schools.
You will also see much more forward
ness in girls in the mixed school than
where the sexes are separated. Boys
should be manly, bold, and strong, and
the girls tactful and kind"
Mr.. Harwood Of Halifax declared
that when boys and girls were taught
together the boys learnt a great deal
from the girls, and the girls learnt
much from the boys that was good.
And something that is bad" retort-
ed q lady delegate
"Comradeship of the boy and girl in
school," continued Mr. Harwood, ig-
noring the interruption, is an excel
lent thing. There is nothing which
fits a girl to a better understanding
Of a boy than sitting beside one an
other at a desk. For my part, I al
ways find the girls love the men teach
ers, and l find the boys get on better
with the women teachers"

RASH ALMOST COVERED FACE

Warrenville, OF have felt the
effects of blood poisoning for eighteen
years. I was never without some erup-
tons on my body. The terrible itch
ing caused me much suffering and dis
comfort, while the rubbing and
scratching made it worse. Last spring
l had a terrible breaking out of bis
terry sores on my arms and limbs. My
face and arms were almost covered
with rash. 1 could not sleep and lost
nineteen pounds in five weeks. My
face was terribly red and sore, and
felt as if my skin was on fire. At last
I tried a sample of Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment and 1 found them
so cool, soothing and healing, that
got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Resolvent. l bathed
with hot water and Cuticura Soap,
then l applied the Cuticura Ointment
every night for two months, and l am
cured of all skin eruptions" (Signed)

ODD WEAPONS USED IN DUEL
Men Misinterpret Judges Advice to
Settle Family Dispute Out
OF Court.

New York-'You look like two
sensible men. Suppose you take this
family dispute outside. Go to your
homes and settle it between yourselves.
I'm sure you can arrange things be
tween you privately better than with
me. Try to settle it, anyway, and
then come back and tell me how you
feel
This benevolent advice was given
by Magistrate Fitch in Long Island
city court to Louis Citryn of 172 Mott
avenue and his brother-in-law, Louis
Rosenberg of 168 Mott avenue, Long
Island City. They had come to court
after a dispute between their wives.
The courts suggestion seemed to
meet with instant approval, and they
left the room.
An hour later they returned, and If
it hadn't been for their clothes the
magistrate wouldn't have recognized
them. They were battered and blood
stained Their lips were so cut and
swollen they could hardly speak and
an ambulance surgeon had to be
called TO patch them up before they
could tell their story. AS they stood
before the magistrate wrapped in
bandages he looked at them sorrow
fully.
"You-ah, have settled this mat
teri" asked the magistrate, hesitat-
ingly.
There was an affirmative nod from
one of them and a glance Of doubt
from the other.
Then both men began to talk at
once to a chorus of lamentations from
their wives and children. At least
the magistrate swas able to learn,
much to his regret, that his advice
to settle the dispute outside court
had been misinterpreted
1t came out that in settling the
dispute one man used a brass candle
stick and the other an iron coffee mill.
The men made counter charges of as
