ON ENTIRE SCALP

R. F. D. No. 2, Sunfeld, Mich.-T
was troubled with eczema. It began
with sore on the top Of the scalp
broke out as q pimple and grew larger
until It was q large red spot with q
crust or scab over 1t. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts Of the
body, the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad
ually until some were as large as q
quarter Of a dollar. They would itch
and II scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when 1t was being re-
moved causing them to itch and smart
so l could not sleep. A watery fluid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with q scale and when
the hair was raised up 1t would raise
this scale; the hair was coming out
| terribly.

no relief and after using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment with two applica-
tons we could notice great differ-
ence. It began to get better right

after careful study of organization
and methods used in conducting the

standard set by the Smith-Lever act.
West Virginia made no change in
organization. everything being APP

Many OF the blanks, forms, systems,

SAVE YOUR SKINNED MILK.

Thrifty housewives have devoted
much time and thought to the econ
omy of SKINNED milk. Some of them
have fed it to their families, some to
the chickens and pigs, but none of
them has willingly thrown, it away.
Now that the war has interfered
with the importation of chemicals
used in the making OF celluloid, comes
a crafty inventor and asks everybody
to save all the skinned milk. He
uses the SKINNED milk to make films
for the movies, coat buttons, collar
buttons, piano keyes and French
ivory toilet articles.

TRAvELETTE
SANTA CATALINA ISLAND.
By MiklRh
......ss.s.s....:.:-....

/ The billy little island, sixty miles
from the coast of California, is wide
ly known for the great herds Of wild
goats that roam about its interior.
1t was long the custom for every
tourist when went there to hire q
guide and go on goat hunt, but of
recent years the sport has been, dis
Outraged by the owners OF the is
land, who say that the goats make
domestic animals yStid, and have set
out to eXterminate them systematic
ally. However. If you cannot kill a
goat, you can still buy a beautiful
goat skin rug at any of the little
shops along the beach.
The origin of the Catalina goats Is
amystery, for they are not the in
digenous mountain scat, but ordt-
nary domestic goats leading a wild
and unconventional life. The guides
will tell you that when the Spanish
conquerors landed on the island,
centuries ago. the. aborigines got
their goats, and then the goats es-
capped and propagated a free and in
dependent race. This, however. is
mere tradition.
On the island there is a tent cit.>

Shop Early

Thanksgiving is over. Christmas
comes next. 1t is less than five
weeks on. Early Christmas shop
ping Is the order Of the day.
The sooner one buys the better his
advantages. The later one buys the
fewer opportunities one has for Sc
lections.
Christmas stocks are unlike other
mercantile stocks While the modern
merchants replenish them every few
days, yet they are designed for q
special period OF the year. The open
ing OF the shopping season, therefore,
sees large and cho.cer stock from
which to buy than one finds toward
the close OF the season. That is one
good reason for early shopping.
There is convenience Afforded by
early shopping. 1t can be done with
ease as stores are not over crowded
and clerks are not worked to death.
Besides one does not have to hunt all
over the store in search Of some
thing that may have all been sold
out
The early shopper is not met with
the remark: I'VE had lot of those
but they are all sold out"
An exchange reviews the early
Christmas shopping movement as
follows and points out additional
reasons why It is good:
Each year in the last fifteen there
has been marked Improvement in
the conditions affecting the employees
OF stores in the Christmas shopping
season.
1t was the habit Of most people to
put on their holiday buying until the
middle OF December Of later. In cor
sequence the working forces Of stores
had their hours heightened from ten
to fourteen or sixteen day.
1t Is the habit OF a great many peo-
pie to shop early, both out of consid-
Grafton for the salespeople and be-
cause they can shop to greater advan-
tage than before the rush.
Moreover, the buying was so we'll
distributed over the month before
Christmas that increased business
vas handled with comparatively little
OF the rush, crowding and confusion
that formerly marked Christmas buy
ing.
Whether there is to be still greater
Improvement this year, or whether
Christmas shopping is to slip back
into the old rut, depends upon the
indiyiduai-upon you.
Christmas is less than five weeks
from today. Begin your holiday
shopping now.

ing place, because there is no surf
to speak Of; but during the fashion
able bathing hour, it is distinctly a
success as q spectacle. In orchida-
ceous celebration and daring hrevity
the costume effects displayed at Cata-
lima are not surpassed even at the
great Atlantic beaches.
The daily parade Of fashionable
bathers somewhat distracts atten-
tion from the natural scenery at
Catalina, which is by no means to
be overlooked. The island consists
Of a bunch Of rugged, carven hills
chucked down in the midst of a still
green sea, and ascalloped with little
sleeping bays. where sea-lions bark
and great white regiments Of gulls
drill and wheel between sea and
sky.
The waters about the island are
wonderfully rich in life, and one Of
the regular amusements OF the place
is going out in glass bottomed boats
to see how the fishes live. You look
down into a submerged forest of
seaweed Respondent red and golden
fishes lazily wander about, where
long yellow tarpons raid silvery
schools Of flying fish and drive them
into the air in a burst through
brown forests of broad-leaved, wa
vering kelp. Fishing is also a IA
vorite sport, and all classes Of
anglers are accommodated from the
meditative philosopher, who likes to
sit on wharf and watch a founder
fiirt with the clam impaled on his
hook, to the ambitious deyotee who
goes after the leaping tuna with a
fifty dollar rod and quarter mile
line. The large game fish caught

An Army Of Helpers

The boy who manifests desire to
help his papa and the girl who is
anxious to share the household du-
ties her mamma has are usually those
who have been given some little
thing to do, trust confidently re-
posed. The responsibility however
little is felt by the child. The thing
is done as best the child knows how
and can do it, and then an expression
of appreciation and congratulation
on the part of the parents gives the
child courage and confidence. The
child who is not given anything to
do on the other hand Is the one who
is not inclined to help for the reason
it has not been asked but has been
treated as one not able or capable to
do, or perhaps with indifference to
the development of interest, SYM
pathy, cooperation and desire to
share in home activities.
Children are naturally splendid in
struments to use in the promotion of
the ideal things of life. They easily
take to the nobler things of life il
led in the right way. They readily
adapt themselves to light responsible
tiles and they are quick to see in
fringements upon what they have
been taught is right.
While boys will be boys as the
saying is, yet in all their fun, lively
life and the like, they can be manly
little men and as rule are ever
ready to be, II accorded that right.
An exchange tells as follows what
boys and girls can and will do, II
given the opportunity and the proper
encouragement:
A wisdom like unto that of Solo
mon has been displayed by the. ap-
thorfties OF Pittsburg in making every
school pupil of that city an active
officer of the. department of public
safety. The plan is to instill in every
child OF school age an ambition to
promote the safety and moral and
physical welfare of the city.
OF course 1t is not expected that
every child of tender years in the
city of Pittsburg will go out and
patrol a beat and seek out violators
of the law or anything like that. The
chief thing back Of the plan Is the
effect on the children themselves.
The method Will cause these children
to grow up with a well established
respect for that which Is right and
desirable in regard to their city. With
this proper beginning these children
will grow into manhood and woman
hood with certain we'll fixed ideas as
to the protection and upbuilding OF
their city, ideas which will prove OF
practical value and which of them
selves will lead to better things for
the city.
The director OF the department OF
public safety of Pittsburg has issued
to every school pupil of the city a
little badge showing the child's ac-
tive participation in the affairs OF the
city. In addition it has called upor.
every child to get busy" Think OF
the effect of this urging upon the
thousands OF school children, thous-
ands forming one of the strongest in.
fiuences in the city. Children take
pride in being granted responsibility
and make good use OF their oppor-
tunities to do the things they are
asked to do. These youngsters will
be daily using their influence in be-
