WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride In His Work, Not Tender Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauf-
feur to Return.

They were going along the public
highway at a leisurely rate of forty
miles per hour when decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special-cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor old stiff
jointed rooster amidships. and with
one squawk he succumbed.
Immediately the man at the steering
wheel started to slow down and to
look about for a place to turn.
His solicitous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
Isn't that just like his tender heart?
He won't be satisfied unless he goes
hack and settles for that rooster. He
just can't bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything"
Then louder, to her husband, she
said: George, remember that ap-
pointment. We haven't any time to
go back for anything"
CHANGING at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
sighed and said:
You're right, Jennie; but I just
know If | had turned back l could
have killed that old hen just as easy
as | did the rooster.

Transmiqratinq Turkey.

1.-THE only time l ever believed in
the transmigration Of souls was one
frosty November afternoon on my
Indiana farm"
The speaker was George AIDE, the
humorist He continued:
1T was day or two before Thanks
giving. The trees were bare. The
fields were a russell brown color. To-
ward me over those russell fields
strutted a very plump. very large,
very young turkey.
Then 1t was that an ardent belief
In the doctrine Of metempsychosis
seized me.
"'You.' l said to the superb bird,
you are now a turkey. And you will
die tomorrow. But. cheer up. Your
next transmigration will be into the
body Of a humorist not unknown to
fame."

ECZEMA SPREAD. OVER BODY

F. D. No. 1, Lewisburg, Ky.-"Fif-
teen years ago l was badly affected
with eczema upon my scalp first, then
1t spread all over my body and con-
tinued to grow worse for four years.
1t began with dry rash. After form
ing thick scales or scabs the irritation
forced me to scratch the scabs off and
the hair would come out with them.
Upon my face and body the sores
would get inflamed and they disfig-
ured my face. It was worse where
my clothes irritated them. The erup-
ton was a yellowish watery kind,
sometimes bloody. In warm weather
it was so bad I was not able to work
on account of the raw Irritating sores
on my head and body.
after trying various medicines
without relief l tried Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. After using four cakes
of Cuticura Soap and four boxes Of
Cuticura Ointment and one bottle OF

Push Sale of Red Cross Seals.

The American Red Cross has al
ready printed over 100000 Red
Cross Christmas seals and probably
the edition will number 100,000,0OO
before the end Of the campaign. If
the anticipations of the antitubercu-
losis workers are realized. no less
than 100000 will be obtained from
the sale of Red Cross seals. Practic-
ally all of the money remains in the
state or city where the seals are sold,
only a very small percentage of it is
going to pay for the cost of the print
Ing and distributing the seals and for
the expense of running the campaign.
In case any persons cannot obtain
seals in the community where they
live, they can secure them by writing
to Red Cross Seal Headquarters. us
Union Trust Building, Washington, D.
C. Red Cross seals cost one cent
each and every seal sold is bullet in
the fight against tuberculosis.

COMFORT IN KITCHEN
MODERN INNOVATIONS DO AWAY
WITH MUCH LABOR.
rime-Savir3 Appliances Have Been
Introduced and Become General
Fireiess Cook Stove Proves
Genuine Boon.

Nowadays the men who make
things have turned their attention to
providing the home. and especially
the kitchen, with as efficient labor and
time saving appliances and tools as
an up-to-date factory can boast. The
modern kitchen can be thing or
beauty and joy even to the woman
who works in it, SO great have been
the Improvements made.
Take, for instance, the evolution OF
the fireless cook stove a miracle work
ing contrivance which banishes heat,
steam, smells and standing over the
stove watching the slow. tedious cook
ing process.
Lined with seamless aluminium, rust
proof, tarnish proof and durable uten-
sils to use with it, and cunningly
contrived steam valve attachment
which allows the roasting Of meats
and fowls, the baking of bread and
pies, as well as boiling and stewing
1t is indeed wonderful convenience
ALI that is necessary is to heat the
soapstone radiators either on a gas
or electric stove. Then the food,
meats, vegetables, or whatever is to
be cooked-cooks Just as 1t is. and
1t is forgotten until the clock says it
should be done
1t probably isn't known that every
branch and variety Of the cooking art
can be successfully employed with the
freleSS cook stove
The earlier models Of these cook
ers showed very cumbersome box
that took up lot of space in a small
kitchen, but they have now been re-
duced to occupy waste space. and
some Of the later designs show them
swinging on hinges under the Kitchen
table, where they may be pushed out
rest Of the meal is being prepared.
Another innovation for kitchen eff
cheney is porcelain table with round
ed corners and edges, which is seam
less, unbreakable and unchippable.
and at once becomes a molding board
bread board for cooking and slicing.
This is far superior to the old wood
en- table tops which became the catch
all" for grease and other substances.
owing to the surface being scored
from knife blades while preparing
meals.
The best thing OF all about kitchen
table Of this kind is that 1t can be
kept spotlessly clean-really hygienic-
ally clean-by wiping OF with hot
wet cloth.
