"WHY SHOULD ! USE
CUTICURA S0AP?'

"There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and l thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, is
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for tais
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best OF toilet soaps
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making It's
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth OF
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,
Dept. i, Boston, for a liberal SAM
pie cake, together with thirty-two

WIFELY DUTIES OF WOMEN
Nine. MaeterIinck Sets Out Ten Rules
for the Guidance Of Her Mar
ried Sisters.

Apropos of her first visit to America
the following philosophical decalogue
is OF special interest as revealing the
attitude taken by Nine. Georgette
Lablance Maeterlinck, wife of the Bel
gian Shakespeare, toward the wifely
duties of women:
/. Remember always that the true
wife is the inseparable half OF the
only complete human unit, in which
two small and imperfect individuali-
ties nave become merged into large
and perfect one.
2. Each half OF the welded whole
retains special functions; yours are
to discern, to anticipate, to yield. to
cheer, to soothe-and thus to
strengthen.
3. Never trust TO hirelings the es-
sentials of your husbands physical
we'll being; understand and frequent
ly practice the art of selecting and
preparing his food.
T. Be sure each day that his gar
ments are whole, clean and suited to
the season.
y. OOnSlllule yOulSSli Ou IuidlllDlC
barometer whereby to forecast and
render harmless those electrical dis
turbances peculiar to the married
state.
6. Be 10 your husbands dark moods
the subtle, unsuspected antidote; to
his joyous mood the companion spirit
of Joy.
Z. Save your caresses until you per-
ceive that his dinner has been with
out a flaw; kisses to a hungry man
are like froth to a parched tongue.
s. Your tongue for assent; for argu-
ment use only your eyes.
Q. When your husband has an at
tack of gout, depreciate the art OF
dancing.
10. If you would convince your hus-
band that you are better actress
than Bernhardt better dancer than
Pavlowa, prove to him that you are a
better cook than NJ. Escoffier.

those "soonerv Rasnues.

The Norsemen are not the only peo-
pie credited with the discovery OF
America before Columbus. Francois
Michel, in lie Pays Basques," main
tains that the Basque sailors who
went north for whales and cod were
familiar with the coast of Newfound-
land for centuries before the birth OF
Columbus, and that it was probably
from one of their countrymen that
the navigator learned of the existence
of another continent. There is also a
mystery about the origin of the
Basque people and the strange resem-
blance between their language and
North American dialects. Whitney,
the American philologist, declares:
NO other dialect in the old world so
resembles the American language in
structure as the Basque Did the
Basques come from America to Eu-
rope.-London Chronicle.

Pins and Pincushions.

In an interesting history OF pins
sust published under the title of pins
and Pincushions," one learns that
there was actually no factory in Eng
land for the manufacture of pins until
1925. Up to that period supplies all
came from abroad. But having estab-
1ished itself the industry has flourish
ed and now the English pin is re.
garded as the best the world pro-
duces. Another interesting fact CLEAN
ed from this book Is that the fancy
box into which we now put pins can
boast of more ancient lineage than
the pincushion.
II was somewhere about Queen
EliZabeth's time that the pincushion
came into vogue Then It was a posi-
tive thing OF beauty adorned with ex
Quisite needlework and painting. II
was in early Victorian days that the
pincushion cult reached its zenith. We
now prefer the fancy box as a recep
tacle for our varied assortment ot
pins.

moments. If overrun and pierced by
surface craft the submarine would
be sent to the bottom like the loaded.
perforated uncorked bottle. This is
just what happened the other day to
the AS. This brief outline of the gen
eral principle upon which an under
water boat Is made ready to submerge
and is controlled below the surface
makes it easy to understand some OF
the accidents that have happened to
submarines
The American navy has been fortu-
nate so far in its experience with
submarine boats, although there has
been more than one narrow escape
from disaster. The most thrilling Of
these was the case of the Porpoise.

and her ballast tanks, some of her pip
ing and other parts of the boat leak
ed For nearly three-quarters OF an
hour her crew struggled with the
hand pump, and finally obtained a
buoyancy of something like 100
pounds, which lifted the bow. At
once the electric motor was started,
and the boat driven to the surface.
That accident made naval officers eau
tions, and for several years afterward
American submarines were somewhat
coddled. Today American under wa
ter craft are vastly improved and they
are being exercised with much sue
cess.
From the very beginning service in
submarines has been voluntary. No
man is ordered to duty aboard one
of them unless he asks for such a de-
tail, and in this manner alone is the
service recruited.
