PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING
Tailor Learned In Unexpected Manner
Just How He Looked to the
Wholesale Firm.
Samson, a country tailor, visited a
large wholesale warehouse In the city
and ordered a quantity of goods. He
was politely received and one of the
principals showed him over the estab
lishment. On reaching the fourth floor
the customer saw a speaking tube on
the wall, the first he had ever seen.
“What is that?” he asked.
“Oh, that is a speaking tube. It is
a great convenience. We can talk
with It to the clerks on the floor
without taking the trouble of going
downstairs."
"Can they hear anything that you
say through it?”
“Certainly.”
The visitor put his mouth to the
tube and asked:
“Are Samson's goods packed yet?”
The teople in the oflice supposed it
was the salesman who had asked the
question and in a moment the distinct
reply came back:
“No. We are waiting for a reply
from his banker. He looks like a slip
pery customer."
SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED
Greenwood. Ind.—"First my hair be
gan to fall, then my scalp itched and
burned when I became warm. I had
pimples on my scalp; my hair was
falling out gradually until 1 had
scarcely any hair on my head. I
couldn't keep the dandruff off at all.
My ha.r was dry and lifeless and l
lost rest at night from the terrible
itching sensation. I would pull my
hat off and scratch my head any place
1 happened to be.
‘‘For several years I was bothered
with pimples on my face. Some of
them were hard red spots, some were
full of matter, and many blackheads.
I was always picking at them and
caused them to be sore. They made
my face look so badly 1 was ashamed
to be seen.
"1 tried massage creams for my face
and all kinds of hair tonic and home
made remedies, but they only made
things worse. Nothing did the work
until I used Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. I washed my face with the
Cuticura Soap, then put plenty of
Cuticura Ointment on. Three months’
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment
has made my face as smooth and
clean as can be.” (Signed) C. M.
Hamilton. Sept. 24, 1912.

The old farmer took out his knife
and cut off a section of birch.
"Sonny,” he 6aid solemnly, “1 reckon
yeou d be better making a noise like
a locomotive for the next few min
utes.”
“Like a locomotive, old clover seed!
Why?”
“Because you are going to be

And the next moment the yells that
emanated from the clump of bushes

ac le and bad stomach and at times
wculd be taken violently 111. About a
year ago she quit coffee and began
Pcstum.
“My brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank coffee. All those troubles of
my mother and brother have disap
peared since Postum has taken the
pi ice of coffee.
“A sister was ill nearly all her life

tte place of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she is a happy little •
woman enjoying life as people**
should.”
