SAYS WOMEN ARE SELFIsE
Rev. Mary Andrews Assails Female
Sex in Speech at Kansas
Civ,

Kansas City, Mot is the tendency
Of American women to live beyond
their means and to initiate their neigh
bors, regardless Of expense, accord
ing to the Rev. Mary Andrews, for
merly pastor Of the universalist
church here and well known through
out the west az a leader In the af-
fairs Of women, who addressed the
Council of Clubs in Kansas City, Kan.
''The tendency among the women of
America to receive, accept and de-
mand, rather than to give and sacri-
fee, is growing to an alarming state, y
she said. when a crisis Of any kind
enters into the American woman's life
she is incapable Of meeting it because
she is so used to receiving that she
has no self-confidence left. When she
wants thing done she expects her
nsband or servants her husband pays
for to do 1t, instead of doing it her
self, as our grandmothers did.
"a spirit of strife and unrest among
women pervades all America If a
woman sees a thing that other women
have she wants something just like
it or better. 1t makes mo difference
whether she can afford it"

BABY's TERRIBLE SUFFERING

.
When my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause trrible suffering.
The eruption beganin pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, casing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when / removed his
shirt.
We tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before | could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors, too think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"

SPARROW AS PEST KILLER
English Bird May Be Used Against
the Alfalfa WeeviI In the
West.

Washington, d. IC.-The English
sparrow! originally Imported into this
country to destroys insect pests, but
known chiefly IN recent years as 9
come into It's
own again, according 70 the officials
Of the government biological survey.
It has been found that the sparrow is
vigorous enemy Of the alfalfa weevil,
an evil which threatens to spread
throughout the alfalfa farming terri
tory of the west as the cotton boil
weevil has spread in the south. So
far the weevil has appeared only in
Utah and part of Wyoming, but doz-
en- other states, it is said, will be af-
fected within few years unless seal
enemy of the pest is introduced to
fight it.
The biological survey is planning to
experiment with other. birds this sum
mer and will not recommend that the
English sparrow beEsent into the al
falfa territory unless no other effec-
tive enemy of the 5weeyil can be
found. The bureau Of entomology has
received from it's agent in Italy num-
Der of parasites which feed on the
alfalfa weevil and these will be sent
to Utah at once.

How Old Was He?

In a country school the boys of a
certain grade were devoted to their
teacher, young lady Of many charms.
One little fellow Of rather uncertain
age was constantly proving his devo-
ton by little acts Of Kindness, which
did not escape the notice of the teach
er. Coming up to him one day she
put an arm about his shoulders and
said: Il believe Twill kiss you for
being SO good to me, but how old are
you?"

Damatius admitted the murder, but
denied the theft of the jewels. He ad.
mitted also that he had taken money
from the treasury and had squandered
it upon Helena Ostrowska, wife OF the
man he murdered. He told how his

now confessing the thefts, had assist

BRAIN SMALLER THAN CHiLD'S
Developed Along One Line
Only.

Philadelphia at the Wis
ter institute of Anatomy have just
completed the examination of the
brain of DR.. John H. Musser, a noted
diagnostician who died recently. They
found that Dr. Mus er's brain weigh
ed less than that of a well-developed
child. 1t was 20 ounces lighter than
the brain of Daniel Webster and "a
ounces lighter than that of James
Fisk. the New York gambler who was
murdered few years ago. Scientists
say DR.. Musser developed along one
line, not broadening out in all lines,
and therefore not fully developing all
parts of the brain.

Stanisaus Zalog Writes from Chicago
Solution of the Pauline Monas-
terry Puzzle.

Warsaw, Russian Poland.-The mys.
terry surrounding the theft fror1 the
Pauline Monastery at CzenstochoWa
OF jewels and votiye offerings valued
at 100000, which since 1909 mas
puzzled the brothers, seems at length
to be solved by the receipt OF letter
from Chicago.
The writer OF this communication
to the monastery confesses that ne
Stanislaus Lalog, was the thief; tha1
he was then lay brother, and that
Father Damatius, who is now serving
a sentence in the Siberian mines fof
the murder of his cousin, was not I'M
plicated, as has always been sup
posed.
The letter seems genuine and the
Russian police are taking steps 70
have Zalog arrested, but the former
brother defies the police to trace MN
1t appears that Zalog remained at the
monastery more than a year after the
theft and not until Damatius was ar
rested did he escape to America
