HE KNEW WHAT TO AVOID
If Knowing Human Nature Would Do
It This Man Would Have Made
Good Preacher.

"Dr- John Haynes Holmes. who
preached a Bull Moose sermon to
President Taft the Sunday before cleo
ton day, isn't like Washington
White" said a member of DR.. Holmes
Church OF the Messiah in New York.
Washington White was an aged
hod carrier Laying down his paper
one evening, he said to his wife over
his spectacles:
Martha, I believe I'd make a
preacher. Listen, now, and I'll give
you a sermon
THE old man then stood up to the
table and beloved out vigorous dis
course on the wickedness of the idola-
ters of the Orient
His wife said at the end:
IA good enough sermon, Washing
ton. but you've told us all about the
sins of the foreigners and never a
word about the Sins of the folks at
home here
'Ha, ha, ha, understand preachin'

ITCHING AND BURNING


Iberia, MOT was troubled with
scalp eczema for about five years and
tried everything heard of, but all of
no avail. The doctors told me would
have to have my head shaved. Being
a woman, I hated the idea of that. 1
was told by friend that the Cuticura
Remedies would do me good. This
spring I purchased two boxes of Cuti-
cura Ointment and one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap. After using one box of
Cuticura Ointment I considered the
cure permanent, but continued to use
1t to make sure and used about one
half the other box. Now / am entirely
well. I also used the Cuticura Soap.
"The disease began on the back Of
my head, taking the form of a ring
worm, only more severe, rising to a
thick, rough scale that would come off
when soaked with oil or warm water,
bringing few hairs each time, but in
few days would form again; larger
each time, and spreading until the en-
tire back of the head was covered with
the scale. This was accompanied by
a terrible itching and burning sensa-
tion- Now my head is completely well
and my hair growing nicely" (Signed)
Mrs. Geo. F. Clark, Mar. 25, 1912.

Where Autos Are Barred.

Prince Edward island bars automo-
biles, not because the islanders cam
not afford the machines. but because
of accidents caused by the reckless
ness of drivers who brought IN the
first cars. They caused many rum
aways, and a few had tragic endings.
The legislature at once passed a law
barring autos from the island. Some
of the leading cities have since en-.
deavored to have the enactment re-
pealed, but the country influence has
always been strong enough to over.

banking of flowers and extreme care has to be
