"Your little boy must be very intelligent," said a visitor to a Boston school teacher whose five-year-old son was forming Greek words with building blocks. ""Intelligent!" exclaimed the proud parent.

" A Condition, Not a Theory. A sociologist, In conversation with a practical person from the middle west concerning the labor problem in her part of the country thereby learned the lesson of the situation.

(MID* lPiD)m3iMU ($ ' zio/ir /f?A?sy/s>v w;r jrryYA/?r A SHORT time ago word came to Prince Rupert that a big strike had been made; near Stewart. Where the Portland canal divides British Columbia and Alaska there are Prince Rupert and Stewart, one at th* head of the canal and one at the beginning, twn mining camps just emerging from the tented stage and talking about streets and sewerage, quite confident of gre u ness in the near future. When the news came first Stewart was Stewart Camp. Already It is re spectfully called Stewart Town ant Stewart City.

First reports say thai a single pr to erty has shown $25,000,000 worth gold, and that another posses ho enough to keep a miner working 1 he a century.

There are some men famous In thf> annuls of mining adventure who have gono back to the love of their youth and disappeared into the British Columbia wilderness with their kits on their backs. i no onicers 01 tno geological survey at Ottawa, while admitting the richness of the country, warn intending miners of the difficulties of the trip. Prince Rupert is the objective point of the Grand Trunk Pacific's proposed line through Hritish Columbia, and the Hritish Columbia & Alaska railway la intended to pass near, but neither of those roads is as yet built. So far the engineers and prospectors who have left Stewart and gone into the heart, of the gold tields have had great difficulty in getting enough | food, to nay nothing or carrying I blankets and Implements. The town c >tands at the month of a Utile river Known as Hear Creek, a stream running through a valley only a mile wide. On either side rises a wall of mountains, precipitous and sometimes as high as f>,000 feet. In theso raoun| tains lies not only the gold, hut many other valuable minerals, and they have j to he sealed somehow. It is hard I enough work without the task of car I rying supplies, and for men burdened ] with baggage the difficulties are j great. There will he considerable snf j lering and privation for a time, al I I least. The residents up that way, oddlj enough, are not wildly enthusiastic . over this gold discovery. Minera wealth is an old story to them.

You see, since her return from America she kisses so much better than she used to.' " J 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 I combed my hair, the scalp became raw ana me cnaa 01 me comu-ieeui would be wet with blood. Most of the 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 flrst beginning to heal. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tangled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, 1 would scratch tho worst places so that my finger-tips would bo bloody. I could not sleep well and, after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain '?would commence and then 1 would wake up nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor said it must bo salt rheum. Having used Cuticura Soap merely as a toilet soap before, I now decided to order a set of the Cuticura Remedies i ?Cuticura Soap, Ointment and IMlls. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks, then left off, as tho disease seemed to be eradicated, but toward spring, eighteen months nen. there was a slieht re turn of tho scalp humor. I com, menced the Cuticura treatment at otice, so had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Cuticura Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment in all. Tho lirst time I took six or seven bottles of Cuticura l'ills and the last time three bottles?neither an expensive or tedious treatment. Since then I have had no scalp troublo of any kind. Standing up, with my hair unbound, it j comes to my kner-s and had it not been for Cuticura I should doubtless be | wnouy nam.
