ately she had planned to throw the en-
tire suspicion of the robbery on Marys
innocent head. 1t was typical of Eve
that her conscience should be peace
fully slumbering while her active brain
was working on various schemes to
further her own self-interest.
How still the house was lying Not a
soul about! The darkness really was
oppressive.
Eve sat up in bed and switched on an
electric reading lamp that reposed upon
tiny table at her elbow.
Now was the time for meditation.
And rosy glow certainly was more
conducive to CHEEKY thought than this
Stygian gloom.
A small mirror stood beside the read
ing lamp, and Eve stretched out a hand
to grasp it. The contemplation of her
own pretty, piquant little face was a
great stimulant to cheerful thought.
Now, in the pinkish glow that en-
veloped her, she surveyed the attractive
image in the little glass.
The adjective attractive" might pos
sibly be questioned. A psychologist, at
any rate, might question it, For, though
Eve was specifically pretty, her
beauty was but skin deep There was

SOUTHERN SPRUCE PINE
MAKES FINE PAPER

Tuscaloosa, May IS. Especially
Smith & McAlister, firm interested
in making paper from pine in the
Warrior river, are rejoicing over the
evident success of their efforts.
Several weeks ago they received an
order from a firm at Niagara Falls
for some of the timber about which
they had written the firm. Immediate
ly "a tons of Alabama spruce pine was
cut from near lock No. 16 and shipped.
Yesterday a sample of paper made
from this pine was received in this
city together with an order for 10
carloads of the same variety of wood.
This pine will be shipped Immediately.
The paper had the appearance of that
made from the spruce in Canada, and
it is entirely probable that Alabama
pine will proect the paper shortage in
the south.

little face. 1T would be infinitely nicer
to have the kind Of husband that other
women would be simply crazy over.

IT might here be safely stated that
Eve herself had an intensely jealous ma

EMERGENCY CASES.

EXcitaIbIe persons, few of them in urgent need to attention. kept the Emergency hospital ambulance, driv- CTS and docIors busy during the rain last night, day and night men being on duty, and in most instances the calls proved unnecessary.
 Of the more serious cases. one Of second degree burns, was removed to Brid export hospital. This was Breno Maniya, 45. of 65 Ives street.
 Mrs. J. r. Bodnar, 33, of 247 CIin- ton avenue. was examined for pos sible arm frac 4uer and removed to her home.
 Joseph Trorper, 2S, of 296 Martin street. was bitten by a dog, breed un- known. For safety's sake the wound was cauterized as the Emergency hos pital and the man ordered to his home.

 If the skin is not very bad two yeast cakes can be taken. For ex- ternal use make a paste with one cake and spread it over the face.
 B. H.; Blue Eyes; Grateful Friend; J. D. Blonde, etc.-I have so many in- Quiries about blackheads that I must group them all and answer them in this way.
 The skin can never be rid com pletely of blackheads until the digest i've system Is in good order or while any trace of constipation exists. These conditions take a little time to treat,
 Meanwhile, the very largest black heads can be squeezed out, if the skin is steamed by holding not wet towels over it for @ few minutes. The place where the blackhead shows Is pressed gently, to force out this collected matter Then the place must be washed with warm water to which a little peroxide of hydrogen has
 Then the face must be rtnsed with cold water and rubbed with ice. This is to close the enlarged pores which otherwise might fill again with mat ter.
 The general treatment is-steam- ing, cleansing cream. a hot soap and water wash. a cold rinse and an ice rub. This is given daily. I have also a Blaekhead Cleansing Powder for mula for this trouble. which I'll mail if you'll send an addressed stamped envelope.

 It is difficult to believe that a gov ernment which so recently denounced all the processes of capitalism is now openly advocating their adoption.

 The government has granted a con- cession to combination of small knitting factories in Petrograd which will resume work on the condition that 12 per cent. of their output will be paid to the government in tax.

 Most skin complaints come from digestive or bowel disorders. Yeast is laxative and it is also a blood puri- fer. It will not make you either fat or thin. but 1t will supply the system with one food element which we have not yet been able to analyze. Yeast is rich in those mysterious little things known as vitamines. Without them in our food we die, and with a sufficient number of them we will be strong and healthy.
 Yeast can be taken internally or externally. If the skin is in vety bad condition and full of little eruptions three cakes should be taken every day, preferably about meal time

Prevention is better than cure . and much cheaper.
 TNEA NTVIE PARATNSTS

 INFANTIIE PARALYSIS.
 A little child of from one to five years is put to bed seemingly in ex ceuent health. In the morning it il found to be suffering with high fever, and pain in the back and limbs; and that paralysis, generall3 of the leg muscles, has come in th4 night If the doctor now makes the diagnosis of infantile paralysis, tho parent will likely recall some severe fall, some antecedent weakening dl sease. Such factors are, however, not the real cause of the disease, though they have undoubtedly predisposed the child's tender tissues to the att tack of the essential specific cause- the germ of infantile paralysis. Dr F'lexner of the Rockefeller Institute in New York has found this germ and has demonstrated 1t to be an extraA ordinarily minute, g1obular, vegetable parasite.
 This tr1icrococcus" is present if the secretions of the nose and mouth of infantiIe paralysis sufferers and is communicated by means of kissing or soiled handkerchiefs, towels and the like in such manner as to gain access for the germ to the upper air pass ages of others as yet unaffected Those susceptible thus acquire the infection. develop the disease, and become 1n turn carriers. And healthy persons such as parents. who have been in tns 
 become carriers of though not suffers CTS from, the disease.
 The germ thus lodged in the nose and throat will, in children of subs standard constitution, be carried 1n the lymph channels to the gray nerve gangIia which control muscular ac. tion, especially of the extremities.
 Thus the disease is called by doca tors acute anterior poliomyletis (gray marrow infiammation). Robert Louis Stevenson's maxim pity sick chil- dren," has, of course, universal ap< peal; wherefore many physicians have studied infantile paralysis with peculiar industry, notably pr. Fle1. ner and his associates. Dr. Lewis and Dr. Noguchi, Dr. Lovett of Boston, and Dr. Anderson and Dr. Frost od the United States Public Health Ser- cice. And Health Depa ,tments have been most jealous to ascertain and ito apply the correct measures for the prevention of infantile paralysis. Now that the specific germ has been dis covered, a preventive serum will no doubt soon be elaborated, perha ps let us hope, a curative serum also. Al present the outlook for the sufferer is generally good as to life itself; but the severity and the fatality of the disease, as in all such infections, fuc- tuate widely. When recovery does take place the muscles are likely to remain small; and perhaps through life there may also be retarded bone growth, deformity, poor circulation and impaired constitution.
 All inquiries addressed to Dr. Huber in care of the Health Talks'' department will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time. however, owing to the great number received. So if a personal or quicker reply is desired. stamped and self-addressed envelope must be enclosed with the question:
