"The inanity of courtesy remarks
that some people feel called upon lo
interject into conversation calls tor a
permanent commission in lunacy," said
the man with the ingrowing grouch.
"Now, the other day I was telling
Jones going down on the subway that

How He Expressed It.
Every small boy-—the right kind*
anyhow—thinks his own mother the
symbol of all perfection. Few, how-
ever, have the ability to express their
admiration as prettily as the little
hero of the following anecdote:
\ Richard's mother was putting him to
bed, and as she kissed him good night,
she said: "Do you know you are the
whole world to mamma?"
"Am 1?" he answered, quickly. "Well
then, you're heaven and the north pole
to me!"—Youth's Companion.

"D-e-f-e-n-d-a-m," spelled the young-
ster on the rear seat as the "rubber-
neck" wagon was passing the Twenty-
second Regiment armory, at Broadway
and Sixty-eighth street. "What does
that mean, auntie?"
"I didn't quite catch what the guide
said," replied the old lady. "Oh, Mr.
Guide, won't you kindly tell us what
it says on that building?"
"Def-en-dum!" roared the guide
through his megaphone, dividing the
word into three sections.
"That's what it is," said the old lady.

1 Guthrie.—Preliminary sheets of
State Labor Commissioner Charles
Dougherty's IDO'.i report give statistics
j concerning the telephone business of
' Oklahoma, which shows great vitality
and growth.
j The toial capital invested in the
! telephone companies reporting to the
| labor commissioner is $6,413,308 for
1909, against. $5,520,852 for 1908; re-
ceipts of gross income for 1909, $1,894,-
399; for 1908, $1,740,236; wages. $842,-
j 183 for 1909; $811,767 for 1908.
The most interesting feature of the
! telephone report is that relative to the
employes, who numbered j,.<90 for
j .1909, against 1,875 for 1908. It is
I shown that 1,008 feminine workers,
! nearly all of whom are "ecxhange
girls," the bulk of whom receive be-
tween $6 and $7 per weak, the scale
| of wages and number of employes run-
| ning as follows:
j Fmales under $4 per week, 42; be-
tween  4 and $5, 37; between $5 and
$6, 266; between $6 and $7, 487; be-
tween $7 and $8, 107: between $9 and
I $12, eight; between $12 and $15, 31.
| No female employes report earnings
more than $15 per week. Three child-
ren under 16 years of age report earn-
I ings between $4 and $5 per week. Of
: the male wage earners, 10 earn less
i than $4 per week; 9 between $4 and
1 $5; 1 between $5 and $6; 44 oetweeu
j $6 and $7: 31 between $7 and $8; 78
between $8 and $9; 70 between $9

Light on Cause of Tuberculosis.
The sixth annual meeting of the Na-
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis was held
1 in Washington on May 2 and 3. Among
the most interesting papers was one
| by Dr. William H. Park, the famous
I pathologist and head of the labora-
j tories of the New York city depart
j ment of health. Dr. Park contended
i that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
i rarely, if ever, caused by infection
| from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating of meat.
Tuberculosis of the stomach and inter
' nal organs, which compose only about
I ten per cent, of the sickness from
this disease, are often caused by drink-
I ing or eating infected matter. Doctor
Park substantiated his conclusions by
showing the results of years of inves-
tigation and examination of pathologi-
cal specimens. His conclusions are
substantially those reached by Dr.
Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tu-
bercle bacillus.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING
"Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when 1
J combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
i would be wet with blood. Most of the
i time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will Itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
j torture. My hair was long and tan-
| gled terribly because of the blood and
I scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. I was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
j totally bald.
"Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places so that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful stinging pain
—would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely a3
a toilet soap before, I now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
—Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
cated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. 1 com-
menced the Cuticura treatment at.
once, so had very little trouble. On
I my scalp I used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time I took six or seven bottles of Cu-
j ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles—neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then I have
/ had no scalp trouble of any kind.
1 Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
j comes to my knees and had it not been
! for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald.
j "This is a voluntary, unsolicited tes-
timonial and I take pleasure In writing
it, hoping my experience may help
someone else. Miss Lillian llrown,

A Boomerang.
One of the officials of the Midland
railway, coming from Glenwood
Springs the other day, was telling a
young woman on the train how won-

I that girls who walk on it have big
feet. It just simply makes their feet
grow."

joinder, "some of the Colorado men
