You've got the correspondence school education. After the parade the quartet of peanut grinders was taken back to their coops, where they held a straw vote to sec what they'd ha'e for breakfast. They got it. If slapping elephants into gingham will flatten the cost of clam chowder with clams, why not try steering ringtailed armadillos around in calico? They should make poisoned olives much cheaper and put ground glass within reach of the working man. . Ptomaine poisoning is becoming almost a luxury. It's a good thing to have the elephants on our side, but gosh, look at the upkeep. It would be cheaper to keep a stuffed canary and starve surrounded by your wife's relatives. All guys surrounded by the in-laws do that eventually, why not now ? Out in Ohio the local chapter of the Gate of Hope Society hot-dogged it fifteen country miles as a' protest agin the leather price of paper shoes. They made the welkin ring, but the profiteers laughed 'emselves into a froth. There ain't any welkin-button on the cash register. The hoofers wore their new second-hand shoes right down to blotting paper. Is there no one-half-of-one-per cent balm in Gilead? The hinges arc rusty on the ?ates of hope. The Gate of Hope cortege was a bloomer, i one-eyed ant eater to chaper.on the affair. They forgot to take along Darkness Ends Came. Philadelphia, Pa., April 28. Darkness stopped the game between Boston and Philadelphia today In tne fourteenth In ning with the score 7 to 7. Kiney's wildness and errors by Dykes helped the visitors to a lead in the early tunings, but Jones weakened and only sensational fielding by Foster prevented the locals from winning in the seventh and eighth. Doubles by Welch and Per kins tied the score in the latter Inning. Boston had two on base with none out in the twelfth but Martin struck out Hooper, McNally and Pinch Hitter De vine.

Particular about the Bread You Eat- Buy SCIIUL2ES BUTTER-NUT BREAD Down south in Alabama, where the buy-a-halc-of-overalls epidemic started, the folks raise the cotton that makes the overalls.

The more overalls, the m'ore cotton, and by the time we are trying to celebrate the glorious Fourth on vanilla extract and ora tory everybody in the boll weevil belt will be able to afford to wear satin napkins while eating radium consomme. It's only a mis-step from the ridiculous to the sublime. Next week we will be shedding those calico cocoons like a seventeen-year-old locust sheds his one-bug top.

V .-1 inV WM ; wnw it -ak ssg Cause Untold Tor ture As Warm Weather Approaches. Many cases of eczema, tet ter, pimples, scaly eruptions and other evidences of a dis ordered skin very often lie dormant during the winter season, but become active- as warm weather approaches, and soon break out into almost intolerable torture. As soon as you realize that so-called skin dis eases originate in the blood, and, treat them ac cordingly, you will be on the right track to free yourself of this annoying trouble. Just imagine that there is a steady blaze of fire in constant contact with your tender skin, and you can form some idea of the pain that must be endured by the afflicted. For the mil lions and millions of tiny dis ease germs that seem to bur row through the skin, each one carrying a torch of fire, cause pain that is almost unendur able. And the constant plea of those afflicted is the oft-repeated question, "How can I find relief from this constant torture ? " Not palliative, tem porary relief that causes the terrible itching ,to abate for awhile, but real, genuine relief that shakes off the shackles of the disease and restores the skin to its former healthy con dition?" And temporary relief is the most that can be expected from local treatment, such as ointments, salves, lotions, etc., which is one reason why these diseases seem to hold on with such tenacity. It is not be cause they are incurable, but because they are improperly treated, that they apoear to be so stubborn and so difficult to cure. The" fact is they are mis named, and therefore improp erly treated. Because the trouble attacks the skin and all the pain and discomfort is confined to the surface of the skin, these disorders are called "skin diseases." But the real cause is a disease germ in the blood, which multiplies by the million, and sets up an irrita tion in some tender location of the delicate skin. You can get some little re lief for the time being by rub bing or scratching the irri tated skin, but you would not expect to be cured in this way. Neither should you expect a cure from local applications of lotions, ointments or other remedies applied to the skin, for the simple reason that a cure must, come from the source of the trouble. You must locate the head quarters of the disease germs, and cut off their base of sup plies. The blood is saturated with them, and they will set up their attacks on the surface of the skin as long as they remain in the bloc I, no matter how much local treatment you take. A million gallons of lo cal treatment applied to the surface of the skin will not eliminate the perms of the disease from the blood, and until they are eliminated your skin will never be free from the itching and burning discomfort. If you want genuine relief, then take a treatment that goes right to the seat of the trouble and removes its cause. Such a remedy is S. S.
