HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BLACKHEADS
For pimples and blackheads the fol-
lowing is a most effective and eco-
nomical treatment: Gently smear the
affected parts with Cuticura Oint-
ment, on the end of the finger, but
do not rub. Wash off the Cuticura
Ointment in five minutes with Cuti-
cura Soap and hot water and continue
bathing for some minutes. This treat-
ment is best on rising and retiring.
At other times use Cuticura Soap
freely for the toilet and bath, to as-
sist in preventing inflammation, irri-
tation and clogging of the pores, the
common cause of pimples, blackheads,
redness and roughness, yellow, oily,
mothy and other unwholesome condi-
tions of the skin.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address
post-card "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston."

TEXT WAS NEW TO HEARERS
German's Struggle With the English
Language Praiseworthy, but Some-
what Mirth Provoking.
Prince Henry of Iteuss, who speaks
superb English, laughed good-natured-
ly at a dinner In New York, over the
account of certain officers of the Ger-
man fleet.
"One of our chaplains," Hald the
prlnci', had tho hardihood to preach
in English at one of your Lutheran
chapels the other day. lie astonished
his congregation by saying, as he
rose, that ho would choose for his text
the words:
" 'And ho tore his shirt.'
A quite audible snicker went round.
Tho chaplain noticed It, flushed, and
repeated the text In a louder, slow< r,
more distinct and impressive voice:
" 'And ho tore his shirt."
The chaplain noticed it. flushed, and
the pastor rose anil said:
"'Our good brother is quoting, of
course, the familiar words:
" 'And the door Is shut.' "
Voice of Conscience.
A western Kentucky negro was In
jail awaiting trial for stealing a calf.
His wife called to see him. On her
way out the Jailer, whose name was
Grady, hailed her.
"Mandy," he inquired, "have you
got a lawyer for Jim?"
"No, sah," said his wife. "Ef Jim
was guilty I'd git him a lawyer right
away; but he tells me he ain't guilty,
and so, of co'se, I ain't almin' to hire
none."
"Mr. Grady," came a voice from the
colls above, "you tell dat nigger wom-
an down tbar to git a lawyer—and git
a dam' good one, too!"—Saturday Eve-
ning l'ost.
Only In a Business Way.
"So Clara rejected the plumber."
"Do you know why?"
"Somebody told her to be careful
about encouraging him, as he hit the
pipe."
Thomas' Method
Theodore Thomas was once asked
how he managed to impart such vital-
j ity and lightness to his orchestra's
j playing of the Strauss waltzes. His
answer was: "Have you ever noticed
I that I always beat t?ie first stroke of
; the rhythm up instead of down? You
j cannot put the life and continuous mo-
tion of the dance into a piece of music
! if you knoc k the poor tune down at
the beginning of every measure."
Tennyson possessed a pair of boots
well nigh as long lived as those of the
old farmer described by Richard Jef-
fries. William Allingham notes in his
diary on Marc h 2, 1XS1, that "Browning
dined at Tennyson's last night. Ten-
nyson was in great form. He said:
■'This pair of dress boots is 40 year"
old. We looked at them, and I s.-.lel it
was nooel evidence of the immortality
of the sole Lebanon Chronicle.
