begun on the other two.'"

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected Food. It Pays
Big Dividends.
If parents will give just a little in-
telligent thought to the feeding of
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will pa/,
many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes saying: "Our chil-
dren are all so much better and
stronger than they ever were before
we made a change in the character of
the food. We have quit using pota-
toes three times a day with coffee
and so much meat.
"Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup-
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
"It would be hard to realize the
change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, I understand, exist in ;
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
"A short time ago my baby was
teething and had a great deal of stom-
ach and bowel trouble. Nothing j
seemed to agree with him until I tried
Grape-Nuts softened and mixed with
rich milk, and he improved rapidly and !
got sturdy and well."

ESKIMOS' OWN LAND
ON THE COLLEGE NINE.
EUROPEANS CANNOT COMPETE
WITH THEM IN ARCTIC.
Agile and Fearless, the Native Will
Easily Scale Icy Heights Where
Explorer Pursues Way With
the Utmost Difficulty.
"In all my experience I had never
encountered a rougher, more difficult
country in which to hunt than In Elles-
mere Land," writes Harry Whitney of
Cook-Peary fame. "Ordinarily I should
have believed these mountain sides,
with walls of smooth rock sheathed
with a crust of hard ice and snow,
quite unscalable.
"In places they were almost perpen-
dicular. Rarely did they offer a crevice
to serve as foot or hand hold, and jut-
ting points and firm set boulders were
too widely scattered to be of much
help.
"In this his native land the Eskimo
has a decided advantage over the
white hunter. His lifetime of experi-
ence has taught him to scale these ice-
clad heights with a nimbleness and
ease that are astounding. He is quite
fearless, and even the mountain sheep
is not his superior as a climber.
"As if by magic, and with little ap-
parent effort, the two Eskimos flew up
the slippery walls, far outstripping me.
How they did it I shall never know.
Now and again I was forced to cut
steps in the ice or I should inevitably
have lost my footing and been hurled
downward several hundred feet to the
rocks beneath.
"I was astonished even at my own
progress, and when I paused to glance
behind me I felt a momemtary panic.
But there was no turning hack and one
look robbed me of any deisire to try it.
"The Eskimo has no conception of
distance. He Is endowed with certain
instincts which enable h£m to draw a
fairly good map of a coast line, but he
cannot tell you how far il is from one
point of land to another. Often when
they told me a place we were bound
for was very close at hand it developed
that we were far from it. This they
are never sure of and canniot indicate.
"The Eskimos have a white man
'stung to death' from every point of
view. They not only can go to sleep
promptly but sleep soundty and well
as they travel, when circumstances
permit. They get sustenance, too, by
eating hard frozen walrus and seal
meat or blubber. This I could never
do, for it is so strong In flavor that It
invariably nauseated me, though I
diil succeed very well with raw hare
or deer's meat when I had it.v'—Outing

Auction Sale on Large Scale.
The old adage that one half of the
world knows not how the other half
lives applies in a measure to the fact
that there were sold by auction in
New York last week between $5,000,-
000 and $0,000,000 worth of carpets
and rugs, the product of a big carpet
mill at Yonkers, N. Y. The sale wns
conducted on the upper floor of one
of the big buildings alorug Fifth ave-
nue in the wholesale district, and con-
tinued from Monday morning, when it
opened, until Saturday evening at
7:30. It was attended by buyers from
all over the country, who spent the
entire day in the auction room, taking
only a brief respite at moon time for
luncheon. The luncheon was provided
at the salesroom, so that the buyers
did not have to leave the building and
consisted of a supp'fy daily of 5,000
sandwiches, 30 gallctns of coffee, 20
gallons of consomme find 500 bottles
of beer. On Friday fitrah was served to
those who do not eat meat.
"'Tain't no use talkin', Cyrus, thet
boy of ourn certainly do love th' coun-
try. He writ me er letter yesterday
an' sez he was overjoyed 'cause ther
j going ter put him in th' right field
! next summer."
16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE
"For sixteen long years I have been
suffering with a bad case of skin dis-
ease. While a child there broke out a
red sore on the legs just in back of
my knees. It waxed from bad to worse,
and at last I saw I had a bad skin
disease. I tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both-
ered me more in warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
it made it impossible for me to walk,
and I was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather. My hopes of recov-
ery were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last I was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
[Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills]
and I did not need more than a trial
to convince me that I was on the road
of success this time. I bought two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone I was a differ-
ent man entirely. I am now the hap-
piest man that there is at least one
true care for skin diseases. Leonard
A. Hawtof, 11 Nostrand Ave., Brook-
lyn, N. Y., July 30 and Aug. 8, '09."
Placarded.
A pretty good joke was that played
on a rotund alderman, who wandered
about the streets bearing a placard on
his broad back inscribed:
"Widened at the expense of the cor-
poration."—Tit-Bits.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPERS.
Use the best. That's why they buy Red
Cross Ball Blue. At leading grocers 5 cents.
