.PIMPLEs ON HEAD lTcHED

Tell City, Ind.-"My baby's head
was covered with sores and the top
was a solid scab. 1t began with PIN
pies and he would scratch his head
until 1t would bleed and then scab
over and keep spreading. He would
claw his head and fret, 1t itched and
burned SO and l was afraid he would
never have any hair on top of his head
again.
"A friend recommended Cuticura
Soap and Ointment to me. | asked
our family doctor and he said, Yes,
go right ahead and use them We got
one cake Of Cuticura Soap and one
box OF Cuticura Ointment and they
healed him from the first. In a few
days his head did not seem to itch
or bother him In the least and before
we had used one set he was healed
and he has a fine growth of hair"

QUEER TRAITS OF ANIMALS
Odd Actions Of Files, Dogs, Hens and
Mice inexplIeable Along Any
Line Of Reason.

Chicago.-Many animals and insects
have curious ways Of doing things for
which there is no apparent scientific
reason. A fly on the window pane
will crawl to the top, fly back to the
bottom and crawl up again. This or
der is seldom reversed-why, no one
knows. 1t is on record that a fly
crawled up a window pane 80 times,
returning each time to the same place.
the Presbyterian states.
Hens scratch for food with the sun
behind them, the reason being that
the rays reflect on the minute parti-
cles. A blind hen will pick grain and
not miss a kernel. Cats seldom lie
with their feet to the fire. Usually
they lie on the left side. Dogs, lie
with their forepaws to the fire.
A mouse will ignore a food supply
sufficient for a meal and run great
risks to nibble at q wholesale supply
1t will hide at the source of food sup
ply and not depart from it until &C
tually disturbed. 1t isn't true that a
o runs to its hole at the first
alarm.

Nuisances Defined.

To prove that a public nuisance has
been committed is one of the most diff
fcult things in modern legal practice.
II is therefore gratifying to note that
a plaintiff who set up the plea that a
nuisance is perpetrated in causing
noise by banging milk cans, unloading
trucks containing the empty cans, dis
charging ice through a chute into a
building from the sidewalk, emitting
steam through windows and doors to
the sidewalk, and allowing drivers OF
teams to shout loudly in the night has
won his case before Chief Justice Rus,
sell of Brooklyn. The health depart
ment has taken note of this case il

Woman is at the bottom of many of
the industries of the world, and
strange to say Just now she is re-
sponsible for the revival OF the shark
trade. 1t seems that shagreen is a
special part of a sharks skin which
lends itself admirably to a variety of
delicate dyes, and it has now become
very popular for the fittings of toilet
cases and the backs of mirrors and
brushes. There is an increasing de-
mand for shagreen vanity bags and
jewel cases, c~andlesticks and flower
vases are made of the material, which
is dyed in accordance with the fur
nishings of the DOM.
