Mrs. Marshall Field is to lay asldu
her social obligations to assume the
duties of a Chicago milk Inspector.
The wldow of Chicago's merchant

The appointment of the commission

was waged In Chicago during the win

over half of the milk consumed in the

that was the cause of a scarlet fever

ATT. AFRICANS NOT BRUTAL.
6
JUoundans Bear Fanning Tools In
stead of Warlike Weapous,
Th.it the native African Is not al
ways and Invariably a poor, half naked
brute has been proved by the reports
and uhotozraDhs brought back to
France by the "Moll mission," an ex
pcdltlou sent to the trench Congo
u bout eighteen months ego for the
punose of determining some unsettled
Itountlarr ouestlons. South of Lake
Chad Commandant Moll discovered a
peaceful race of agriculturists and
shepherds. Intelligent and hospitable,
ripe for cultivation, living In pastoral
simplicity.
F.verythlng about the Moundans is
picturesque and Interesting. They are
a vigorous and handsome race and very
brave, but, contrary to the almost uni
versal practice of the Africans In re
gions where white rule has not been
established, they never carry arms. On
the contrary, the Implement oftenest
seen In their hands Is a hoe.
Nevertheless, they appear to have
descended from warlike ancestors and
were probably driven southward from
their original mountain home by some
conquering chief. Reminiscences of
this past may be seen In their seml
mllltary architecture, whlon does not
resemble that of any of the neighbor
ing peoples. At a little distance one
of their villages looks like a fortified
city.
The Moundan village, of which Lere
la an excellent type. Is Inclosed by a
series of round towers connected by
walls from two to three meters In
height Inside, parallel to the Inclos
ing walls, Is a circle of cupolas, each
one pierced with a single hole. These
are the granaries, the most Important
buildings of the town.
They are erected on piles supported
on great stones, which places them be
yond the reach of termites and rodents
ns well as of dampness, and the only
entran"e Is through the hole In the
vaulted roof. Between the outer wall
and the granaries are the homes of
the people, while the residence of the
chief faces the entrance.

Don't Poison Baby.
pORTY TEAKS AGO almost every mother thought her child must havo
PAKEGORIO or laudanum to make it sleep. These drug3 will produce
sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have teen killed or
whoso health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them " poison." The definition of " narcotic " is S "A medicine which relieves pain,
and -produces sleep, hut which' in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul
sions and death. " The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised,
and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc Yon
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON

College Days.
There was once a Yale sophomore
who, as many college men do, found
himself In financial straits and pawned
all his good clothes. A little before
Thanksgiving he got a big check from
home.
When he got home for the holidays
the first thing his mother took out of
the trunk was an overcoat and on It
was pinned the pawnbroker's ticket he
had forgotten to remove.
Hastily grabbing the ticket, he said:
"Hello! They must have forgotten
to take this off at the Smith dance
when I left'it In the cloakroom."
A moment later bis mother took out
his evening trousers. They also had
a ticket on them.
"Why, Reginald," she said, "surely
you didn't leave these In the cloak
room, too, did you?" Lipplncott's.

Tho Life Plant.
Visitor to Bermuda often bring back
to this country as a souvenir of their
trip the leaves of an Interesting plant
of the house leek family. It Is known
as the life plant, and when the leaves
begin to shrivel and fade they send
out little shoots which In turn bear
leaves that continue to grow and re
main fresh and green for months. The
leaves are about four inches long, rich
green in color and of a smooth waxen
texture. If you take one of the leaves
and pin It to the wall Indoors, It will
begin to sprout within three or four
days, be It winter or summer. At first
the top portion of the leaf will begin
to wither and shrivel up, and this Is
likely to continue until the upper half
has lost Its green color. Then tiny
white roots will sprout from the edges,
and In time diminutive green leaves
will appear on these. These little off
shoots will sometimes grow to be an
Inch long aud contain several pairs of
leaves. The limit of their existence
seems to depend upon the amount of
heat and light they can obtain.

SKIM DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE. BLOOD
When the blood ia pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth
and free f roia blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu-;
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish ;
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged w ith the acid
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, j
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually ,
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there j
flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itchinsr is intense, t
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts
of the boJy may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds;
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a
hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the
T.nf.M4ivn , , . form of pimples and black heads, while
I sneered with Eotenia for forty , , . , ' ,.iT
years and could find nothing- to 1 soriasis comes m scaly patches on differ-
cure ma until I tried B. S. S. I ent Darts of the hcxW fW r f tlie worst
forms of skin trouble is Salt Rheum;
its favorite point cf attack is the scalp,
sometimes causing baldness. Toison Oak
and Ivy are al3o disagreeable t3'pcs of skin
disease. The humor producing the trouble
lies dormant in the blood through the
Winter to break out and torment the
sufferer with the return of Spring. The best
treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S.
It neutralizes the acids and removes the
humors so that the skin instead of being
irritated and diseased, is nourished by a
supply of fresh, healthy blood. External
applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc.,
while they soothe the itching caused by
ekin affections, can never rnre the trouble
because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation
and forces out every particle of foreign matter and restores the blood to its
normal, pure condition, thereby permanently curing every form cf skin
affection. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice desired sent free
