Being anxious as to his prospects in one of the early attempts to enter par liament, Herbert Samrel consulted his agent, who said the chances were not rosy, because he was a "carpetbagger." Mr. Samuel thereupon promised to live in the division if he were success ful, and bills were immediately posted that "if Herbert Samuel is returned next Tuesday he will come to live here." Some of the other side, however, posted one of these bills on a pigsty. Mr. Samuel did not win the election. —London Telegraph. A TROUBLE MAKER Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of His. A California woman who didn't know for twenty years what kept her ill, writes to tell how she won back her health by quitting coffee: "I am 64 years old," she says,"have used coffee all my life, and for 20 years suffered from indigestion and insomnia. Life wag a burden and a drag to me all the time, and about once a year my ailments got such hold upon me that I was regularly 'sick in bed' for several weeks each time. "I was reluctant to conclude that coffee was the cause of my trouble, but 1 am thankful that I found out the truth. "Then I determined to use Postum exclusively—for a week at first—for 1 doubted my ability to do without cof fee for any length of time. I made the Postum carefully, as directed, and before the week expired had my re ward in a perceptible increase in strength and spirits. "Seeing the good that my short ex periment had accomplished, I resolved to continue the use of Postum, cutting out the coffee entirely. This I did for nine months, finding, daily, increased cause for gratification at my steadily improving health. My indigestion grad ually left me, my sleep returned, I gained 26 pounds in weight, my color changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy hue and life became a blessing. "Then I thought I would try coffee again, and did so for a few weeks. The punishment for deserting my good friend, Postum, was a return of my old troubles. "That taught me wisdom, and I am now and shall be all my life hereaftei using Postum exclusively and enjoy ing the benefits It brings me." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich.

They ■re genalne, troe, aid full of hunuui later eat* wamdn B tier Perplexing Question. I am coming to you for advice, as you have helped BO many. When a girl is out riding with a boy and on arriving home she does not ask him to call again, would you think he would take it as a turn-down? She does not wish him to consider it that way. If you think he did what should she do to make it up and what would be proper to say next time? When a girl and boy are at a party together whose place is it to mention going home? Do I write well? "GREENY." If the boy who took you driving does not come to see you within a reason able time, when you see him you may ask why he has not come, and so fix up matters. It is the girl's place to suggest when it Is time togo home, but a man may also suggest the hour forgoing with perfect propriety. You write fairly well; practice makes per fect, you know. Congratulations and Best Wishes. Madame Merri: Does not society decree that when a man and girl are engaged that the man alone should bo congratulated; it being considered (hat. he is the one favored; but is it such an "awful breach" to congratu late the girl too, especially when all concerned are intimate? Since the action would stand the test of reason I should think it were all right. Let me know. BACHELOR. The really polite thing to do in the case is to congratulate the man and offer the young women best wishes, but it is no breach of etiquette to con gratulate them both, especially when well acquainted with both. From "Miss Inquisitive." I am eighteen years of age; and am going with a young man of nineteen. My parents do not object, he is of a good family and highly respected. Do you think I am too young to receive attention from this one young man? I attend theaters and dances with him. Is this right? How long should a boy stay when calling in the evening? Is half past ten too late? Hope I am not asking too much. "MISS INQUISITIVE." Half past ten is as late as anyone ought to stay when making an evening Smart Costumes THE costume on the left is in gray tweed. The skirt is quite plain with wide panel effect front and back. The coat is seml-fltting, fastening invisibly by hooks and eyes quite up to the throat. The deep collar and cuffs are faced with satin, with a border of striped black and white silk on the cross.

You must decide the question for yourself, personally I think you are both too young togo steadily together or to be engaged. Be good friends, but both go with oth er persons and see how you feel at the end of a year. Questions From "Faithful Readers." We are two young girls, our age fif teen. We wish to ask you a few ques tions in regard to ourselves. Is it proper for girls of our age to have boys escort them home from a pic ture show? Is it proper for girls to be taken, by boy friends, to picture shows T FAITHFUL READERS. I am always glad to answer ques tions from my girls, and I hope they will be able to get my ideas. It all depends upon the picture show; some are good and some should never see the light at all. So much depends up on the boys and more depends upon the girls. If father and mother do not object to either the shows or the boys I do not, but do not go too often and try togo in the daytime and not at night unless an older person goes as chaperon. Suggestions for a Birthday Party. I am going to give a birthday party this month. I will be fifteen. Which would it be better to have, all girls or girls and boys? What games would be nice to play? What would be served as refreshments? How should the in vitations be written? Hope I have not asked too many questions. SCHOOL GIRL. You have not asked too many ques tions and I only wish I could give you more definite answers. Personally I like afternoon parties for just girls, when your age, but you might think it more fun to have the festivity of an evening affair with both girls and boys. I think I would let mother or whoever gives the party decide. You can get the regular birthday party sta tionery to be filled in, or telephone the message. Serve ice cream, of course, birthday cake and bonbons with choco late and brown bread sandwiches if you wish more. I would play guessing games and have each one do some stunt. MADAME MERRI. The other design shown Is in navy blue serge. The skirt has a wide panel front extending at lower part, where it is trimmed with buttons; the wide sides meet iu a seam up center back. The same lines are carried out on the coat, in which the double-breasted front is fastened by two buttons. The revers should be faced with tan cloth, and the wide collar treated with black satin. Hat of navy blue Tagel, trimmed with a larg« gray feather mount tip ped with black.

ITCHING AND BURNING SKIN "About three years ago I was at tacked with a very severe Itching and burning all over my body and finally my skin broke until my body looked like a piece of raw meat. I did believe that I could not stand the torture any longer, while all the time I was using the salve and the wash ordered by my physician without relief. When I was advised togo to a skin specialist I went with no better results. My body was covered with large white scales, with scales on my hands, arms and lower limbs. In about one week my scalp was covered with scales which looked like dandruff but becamo worse each day until at the end of anothor week the scales were as large as on a fish. The itch in my head was un bearable. My hair was coming out lu combfuls until it looked so bad I was ashamed togo on the street. "I used tar soap for a 6hampoo, but It took no effect. At the end of three weeks the back of my head was com pletely bald. I was a sight when I decided to try the Cuticura Ointment for the hair, and when I saw the won derful results I decided to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment on my body. After taking six baths in hot water with plenty of Cuticura Soap, and using three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Pills, I was cured. My hair has grown more than an Inch In length. "Before using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment I lost all of my finger nails and my hands were so sore I could not put them In water. If I had tried them sooner I would have saved a few hundred dollars." (Signed) Mrs. K. Detlefson, 651 Knickerbocker Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 24, 1911.

"Whut, me, 6uh?" replied Rastus, in pained surprise. "Why, Marse Colonel, suh, I hain't a-stealin' no hens, suh." "Then what are you doing with them under your coat?" demanded the colonel.
