other detective. When the man who
is to be Swallowed comes out the first
detective signals to the man across
the street in some unobtrusive way,
and drops out. In this case Cluffer,

the offices of the Brundage Novelty
Company and asked for Mr.. Gerber,

Red Cross Seals BEING Printed.

Seventy-five million Red Cross
seals are now being printed for the
holiday sale of the anti-tuberculosis
stickers for 1912. The National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, which in cooperation
with the American Red Cross will CON
duct the sale, makes this announce
ment and states further that the out
look this year is bright for a higher
sale than ever before.
The seal this year is said to be the
best of its kind that the Red Cross
has ever issued. The design Is In
three colors, red, green and gray. A
Santa Claus head in the three colors
is shown in the center surrounded by
holly wreaths. In each corner is a
small red cross. The seal hears the
greeting: Merry Christmas, Happy

WHY cows STOOD IN WATER !
Artistic Limitations Responsible for
Characteristic Attitude of the
Humble Bovine.

In north of England town there
was shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright, although he was
always depending on charity, says Al
Priddy in his book, Through the
MILL" relates the Youths Companion.
He painted landscapes, and my aunt,
when benevolently inclined, would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glazing
tints. as If nature had turned color
blind There were cows In every
scene, and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the cows were up to their knees In
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvey," she remarked to the old
man. why do you always put the cows
in the water"
IT'S this way Mrs. Brindin,' the old
artist responded. You see, ma'am, |
never learned to paint hoofs.''

SCURF ON BABYS HEAD

Campbell, Val used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment for scurf on my
baby's head and they made a complete
cure. 1t came on her head soon after
birth. 1t broke out in pimples and
itched and she would scratch it and
cause sores to form. Her head was
very sore and her hair fell out In
punches. She was very cross and fret
full and could not sleep at night. I
tried many remedies, all failed, then
tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment and
they commenced to heal at once. l
put the Cuticura Ointment on, and a
half hour after washed her head with
the Cuticura Soap. l used them a
month and she was cured entirely"
