MRS. SELBY AND PRIZE BABY

81 have always used Cuticura Soap
and no other for my baby and he has
never had a sore of any kind. He
does not even chafe as most babies

makes my heart ache to go into SO
many homes and see a sweet-faced
baby with the whole top of its head
8 solid mass of scurf, caused by poor
soap. I always recommend Cuticura
and nine times out Of ten the next
time l see the mother she says: oh!

MERCY THAT STINGS
NIGHT COURT JUDGE METES OUT
DISGUISED INJUSTICE.
Fashionable Women Enjoy His Cruel.
Iy impairment Questioning of For
Iorn Girl and Then Praise Him
for His Kindness.

"She's been up here thirty times, -
said the court officer, with backward
jerk of his thumb.
She wasn't bad looking girl at all.
Not many months ago she had been a
very good looking girl indeed. In
spite of the slush underfoot and the
drizzling rain that had been falling,
she was not noticeably bedraggled
when she came into the night court
her eyes were dull and her bearing
careless. She had become used to
the routine of her life-and that rou-
tine included the court. Emotion had
been burned out of her by the caustic
of existence. A fare of drunken an
ger-a maudlin sob-were her limits
of expression. She mounted the bridge
drearily, hopelessly. 1t was evident
enough the girl didn't care.
ASK her"
A buzz of whispering filled the court
room. One looked up to see a bevy
of handsomely dressed women sitting
by the side Of the Judge. They wore
evening gowns. Gems sparkled against
the pallor of their breasts. Their fair
shoulders were protected against the
draughts of the filthy courtroom by
costly furs. They rested white kid
elbows upon the judges desk and
propped their arrogant and complacent
faces in slender hands and stared that
dingy courtroom down. The Judge
had obviously been dining with them.
His handsome face was flushed and
he often laughed behind his hand
with the prettiest Of his callers. At
their prompting he asked that poor,
bedeviled, hopeless woman who stood
before him questions that were still
cruelty impertinent, though he was a
Judge and she woman of the streets.
The silk clad women by his side tit
tered and exchanged hooking glances.
The woman's voice grew hCarse and
strained as she replied. She stared at
the women of another world as those
women of the poor streets in Paris
may have stared at the women OF the
court some hundred odd years ago.
"You may go now" said the judge,
silkily. The women who sat by his
side upon bench that had been de-
filed, stretched out their pretty hands
and patted him gently upon the arm.
How good you are to these people, -
said one to him, addressing him by his
first name.
The old court officer was leading
the woman toward the door. A bright
spot burned high upon her cheek
bones. The flames of rage f1ared in
her widely opened, staring eyes.
"G'wan now, kid" said the old court
officer, patting her shoulder with
awkward kindness. Don't you care"

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
The Emneror of Rome Admired the
Courage and Pluck OF
Caractacus.

One of the most unique captlves
ever brought home to Rome by Julius
Caesar was Caractacus OF the early
9ritons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brougnt
before the Roman emperor the PROUD
ruler of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared 10

brave chief never so much as queked'
Instead he looked the monarch In the
eye and said:
You fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves. |
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart OF the en-
peror, and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see if Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one Of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that if he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never had before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children,
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal Of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows The result was that Caractacus
apd his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.

Another suggested cause OF glacial
periods Is that they have been due to
the shifting OF the milky-way, such as
that much of the earth's heat comes

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
insect Taught TO Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became part Of
England, and he learned lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them Deep in
despair he went to a lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord He watched the
spider fsscinatinsiy. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again it tried to mount, but each time
it failed The kipg watched intently,
forgetful of all else. An hour passed.
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged. having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying. IF
at first you don't succeed try again"

Oh. Learned JUDGE.

A California judge decided that
there is no judicial authority to keeI

The remarkable cause of this remark
able decision was that a woman in

lied that only a Solomon could be

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
greater more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor Of a
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and a disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment. ~
"My personal experience in the use
of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
a Philadelphia editor, so exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further ex-
position in that direction would seem
to be superfiuous. They have bene-
flied me SO much, however. during
the five years that I have used them
that / do not feel justified in with
holding my testimony.
General high living with all
that the expression implies as to a
generous table, brought about indt-
gestion, in my case, with restless
ness at night and lassitude in the
morning, accompanied by various
pains and distressing sensations
during working hours.
"The doctor diagnosed the condi-
ton as 'catarrh of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines, which
did me no good. I finally threw
physics to the dogs gave up tea
and coffee and heavy meat dishes,
and adopted Grape-Nuts and Postum
as the chief articles of my diet.
"I can conscientiously say and I
wish to say it with all the emphasis
possible to the English language,
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food that ever came on my
table.
MY experience is that the Grape
Nuts food has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to a most
positive degree. How it does 1t I
cannot say, but I know that after
actually forgets he has stomach,
let alone stomach trouble 1t Is. in
my opinion, the most beneficial as
we'll as the most economical food on
the market, and has absolutely no
