Misunderstanding.
The man was walking along reading

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE
"Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until bis entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
Remedy, almost put the infant
into convulsions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
bathe the baby In buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, if anything. We then called
In another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day It
broke out as bad as ever.
"We decided that it could not be
cured and must run Its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival In Duluth, the Cutl
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby’s
bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Mlnm,
May 3, 1910.”

Pa —There are two kinds of bust- j

kind extended to people who pay cash,

Some Day Ask
Your Physician
! To tell you the curious story of how the mind
' affects the digestion of food.
I refer to the condition the mind is In, Just
before, at the time, or Just following the taking
of food.
If he has been properly educated (the major
ity have) he will help you understand the curious
machinery of digestion.
To start you thinking on this interesting
subject, l will try to lay out the plan In a general
way and you can then follow into more minute
details.
Pawlow (pronounce Pavloff) a famous Russian Phy
sician and Chemist, experimenting on some dogs, cut
into the tube leading from the throat to the stomach.
They were first put under chloroform or some other
anaesthetic and the operation was painless. They were
kept for months in very good condition.
When quite hungry some un-appetlzlng food was
placed before them and, although hunger forced them
to eat, It was shown by analysis of the contents of the
stomach that little If any of the digestive Juices were
found.
Then, in contrast, some raw meat was put where they
couldn't reach it at once, and a little time allowed for
the minds of the dogs to •’anticipate” and create an ap
petite. When the food was finally given them, they de
voured it ravenously and with every evidence of sat
isfaction. The food was passed out into a dish through
the opening before it reached the stomach. It was
found to be mixed with "Ptyalin" the alkaline Juice of
the mouth, which is important for the first step In di
gestion, Then an analysis was mado of the contents of

SOLVING NEGRO PROBLEM
Under Conditions, the Matter Beemed
Comparatively Easy of
Arrangement.
The central police station was over
crowded one day last week. Officers
wece wondering what they would do
should another arrest be made, when
the door opened and a sleepy-looklng.
blue-eyed foreigner drifted In with a
most dejected "Goot efnlng, mens."
The officers nodded their greetings
to the stranger, who then asked: "Can
I did some sleepings here? I yust
came from Chicago and am start to
work tomorrow’.”
"Well, the only space we have left
Is a bunk, which is already occupied
by a colored man. You can shnre
that if you want to,” replied the offi
cer.
The man thought for a minutes,
scratched his head and said:
"Well, I guess I no can see him in
dark, and besides I am tired and want
sleep.”—Milwaukee Wisconsin.
"The Bard of Orion."
The Rev. George F. Culmcr, "the
bard of Odon," celebrated his eighty
sixth birthday yesterday. The Rev.
Mr. Culmer was born May 22, 1825, In
Kent, England, during the reign of
George Frederick (George IV.), for
whom he was named. At the time of
his birth John Quincy Adams was
president of the United States.
Dr. Culmer has been a minister for
many years in the Methodist Episco
pal church until his advanced age

He is a scholar and poet. Many of

Use of Ants in Nature.
Prof. J. C. Branner, in the Bulletin
of the Geological Society of America,
describes the immense importance of
ants as geologic agents, especially in
tropical regions. Ant burrows have
been found at a depth of 3.5 meters,
and they ramify over vast areas.
A Use for the Recall.
Knicker —What do you know about
the recall?
Docker —I believe in it for umpires.
the stomach, into which no food had entered. It was
showm that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing
freely, exactly as If the desirable food had entered
This proved that it was not the presence of f<*od
which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow
was caused entirely and alone as a result of the action
of the mind, from "anticipation."
One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over
an hour believing he was getting it into bis stomach,
whereas, not an ounce went there; every particle w«*nt
out through the opening and yet ail this time the di
gestive Juices flowed to the stomach, prepared to
quickly digest food, in response to the curious orders of
the mind.
Do you pick up the lesson?
Unappetizing food, that which fails to create mental
anticipation, does not cause the necessary digestive
juices to flow, whereas, food that is pleasing to the
sight, and hence to the mind, will cause the complicated
machinery of the body to prepare in a wonderful way
for its digestion.
How’ natural, then, to reason that one should sit down
to a meal in a peaceful, happy state of mind and start
off the breakfast, say with some ripe delicious fruit,
then follow with a bowl of crisp, lightly browned, thin
bits of corn like Post Toasties, add a sprinkle of sugar
and some good yellow cream and the attractive, appetiz
ing picture cannot escape your eye and will produce the
condition of mind which causes the digestive juices
nature has hidden in mouth and stomach, to come forth
and do their work.
These digestive juices can be driven back by a mind
oppressed with worry, hate, anger or dislike of the dis
agreeable appearance of food placed before one.
Solid facts that are worthy the attention of anyone
who esteems prime health and human happiness as u
valuuble asset in the game of life.
SUCH A QUESTION.
