' ET I PAGE TWELVE TORTURED BY * TERRIBLE ECZEM Suffered Three Years Until She Tried "FRUIT-A-TIVES" ---- TI DAME PETER LAMARRE Pointe St. Pierre, P. Q. "*T think it my duty to tell you how much your medicine has done for me. I suffered for three years with terrible Eczema. 1 consulted several doctors "and they did mot do me any good. } | Then, I med one box of Setia. , Salva' and two boxes of 'Fruit-e-tives' and my hands are now clear, The Pain is gone and there has been no return. I think it is a marvellous cure because no other medicine did me any good and I tried all the remedies I ever heard of, without benefit until I used 'Sootha-Salva' and 'Fruita tives." ; 'Fruit-a-tives' ooeled the blood and removed the cause of the disease, and 'Sootha-Salva' GTompleted the eure."

ANGELL Suppose three or four rough-necks ckled you on a dark street--what ould you do? If trained in the school that made fe Dempsey or Georges S. Carpen- % ier famous, you would use your fists n the approved American fashion. f a subject of the Mikado, Jiu- itsu would be your method of self- flefense. The Icelander protects himself with Glima and if you go to the biggest circus on earth you will | see Johannes Josefsson demonstrate his 'national sport in a free-for-all brawl that skins any rough and tum- | ble fight you have ever seen. Glima is the Icelandic method of individual battling. And it's some method! Three husky fellows rush on Josefsson from different sides. He | throws them helplessty to the floor. ' The Clan of North America i 18ee, the cocoanut tree Men with revolvers and knives are ---- disarmed. As a grand climax to his act, he withstands the combined 3s-| sault of seven men. It is some bat- tle, and for action has a bucksaw Tashetngs thie misty = Joseisson is iceland's Champion in Glima, and he is so fond of the sport that he introduced it to Europe and' had it accepted as one of the stand- ard contests in the Olympic games. He ought to know. He is Ice. land's greatest exponent. In Eng- land he defeated many Jiu-jitsu ex-' perts, and among the vanquished were many of Great Britain's fae mous wrestlers. : . Try Glima. Grasp your opponen:s belt with your right hand--with your left his trousers below the pocket He has the same hold. Cause any part of your opponent's body, between the knees and elbows, to touch the ground, and you win. You must not relinquish your hand grips. A belt of rope around the right leg gives a better grip and is the way Icelanders equip for Glima. Glima is a real test of strength and skill as 'well as an interesting sport. (Monday: Tin Can Tricks.) yy "2 Ey I.ean Wolves And the Memory Man said: ln apn. Eskimo. camp. there once... vec oor woman with many ae husband had left her because she was lazy and would not chew skins. to make them soft. When' he was gone she did not have enough to give her children to eat. As they grew older, they inherited their ay laziness. . At last, instead of trying to find work, she asked the Snow Spirit to turn her children into wolves, so that they could find food without orking. : Mo he iow Spirit asked the chil- dren if they agreed, and. when they id so, he said: go well, you shall be Wolves. But you shall not escape being hun- gry, because of that. You could have been men, but you wish to be something less. You shall be hun- gry always." Vhat seems an easy way to es- cape a struggle is very seldom the best way.--R.-W. Buying Pimples : *Oh, Mother, shall I never get rid of these horrid little pimples on my face? No sooner is one gone than . 'another comes." « them, Margie. The Clan of North America VL The Camp Funds FRANCIS ROLT-WHEELER "I've been wondering," said Barton, the Treasvrer, at the meeting of the Council next day, "where we were go- to get the fends for this cam . going to take a lot of capital; peveral hundred dollars, an way." "Ten dollars apiece Ot by seven suggested Will, the we could all chip in hundred dollars," Captain. "Sure, that much." "I'l make the transportation pay for itself," said Jim, "And if I dor't make a profit out of the garden, I'll cat nothing but the weeds," put in Jack. Barton shook his head. "This has got to be handled as a business proposition," he said. "Near- ly all of us have beca going to camp or to seashore for vacation each sum- mer. It never costs our folks less than ten dollars a week. That's over . ' Obadu Ser I'etty and Gocomeback Visit the Cocoanut Tree, "Oh, dear me!" sighed Betty, as' she opened her study book, "I'd like to know how I can answer that question." 'What's that?" asked a merry | voice, and Betty turned to see Go- comeback, the travel elfin, smiling over his shoulder, "What question?" "Why, 'we have to name one of the most useful trees in the world and tell why," replied Betty. "Now how can I do that unless--" Betty stopped and laughed merrily. "Unless you take me to the wonder grove." "Just what I'll do," said Goccme- back, and before Betty knew what Was happening she was sailing through the air beside the little elfin, "Now this tree that we're going to visit iswne of the best known, as well as the most useful, of the palm trees," said Gocomeback, as they lighted on the grouad beside a great, tall, palm tree. Gocomeback rapped gently on the trunk of the tree and a funny little old lady stepped out of the tree trunk and greeted Gocomeback. "How do you do, Mistress Cocoa- nut Tree? I'd like to have you meet my little friend, Bett Bly, sald Go- comeback, shaking the funny little old woman's hand. "Maybe you could tell her why your tree Js so useful to other people." "Indeed, I'll be glad to," the funny little old woman in a Squeaky voice. "No one would be better able to talk about it than I am, for I came here to live and to care for it the year it was planted ~--a wee bit of a stick, you might say." "But where are the branches?" asked Betty, looking up at the great, long leaveg that. crowned the taper- ing trunk. 'Its leaves are the only branches it has," laughed the little old woman. "Every year the cocoanut tree grows from five to' six new ieaves, ana they're all from eighteen to twenty feet long. The first two years we had a terrible time growing. You Brows so grew tired of wait- replied slowly I almost ing. "As the new leaves put forth the old ones fall off.

The Cthers 'wither and drop-off, "The leaves --when fresh, are cooked and eaten as cabbage. The dry leaves are braided together and used as roots and sides of houses. Also they're used for fans, hats and writing paper. Paddles and arrows are made from midribs of the leaves, a bundred dollars. We seventy have been costing our families seven thou- sand dollars every summer. That's a lot' of money. "I've asked the bank if they would make us a loan of two thousand dol- lars, at regular interest rates, taking as security the names of ten well known men, fathers of fellows in this, camp. The bank is willing, and I've! got. the consent of the men to'go on the note. We won't spend all that, nor half of it. When camp breaks up, ; we'll turn back what's left of the fund and pay the interest, then divide the deficit among us. If we can run the camp all summer on two Thousand | dollars, we'll have saved this town five thousand dollars and we'll have the | whole camp lay-out besides. 1 sup- pose it's: up to me, as Treasurer, toi give a plan. That's my plan." "Not much need to debate about | that" said Pierre, from the chair.' "Any objections?" None were made. Reframed as a motion, Barton's plan was put to the vote and carried unanimously. On a sound financial licy, the first camp of the Clan of Noro, America was underwritten, od Other parts are used in making brooms, and parts of the leaves are used for making combs, Then the fibres of the husks when they'ra stripped off and soaked in water for several months are separated ana twisted into ropes and mts.

There is nothing more productive of general ill health than constipa- tion of the bowels, and a regular ac- tion Is absolutely essential to general health. . One of the most common, painful and troublesome troubles caused by constipation is piles. and unless the bowels are kept open by the use of a good laxative such as Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills the whole system will be Poisoned and many different complications of d arise, s0 if you would be well, your bowels regular. Mr. A. Roder, Hastings St. 8., Van- couver, B.C., writes: --'] desire to. ex- press my thanks for what Laxa-Liver Pills have done for me. I had been suffering from constipa- tion for two years, and also had a bad cough and headaches. I tried all sorts of cures and remedies, but got no relief until I was advised to try your pills.

The Irish question will surely be settled now that Kingston has a Self- Determination for Ireland League. Up in Watford, Ont., a dressmaker vecame so excited over religion that she imbibed methyl alcohol. This is 4 warning to other dressmakers. Now that St. Andrew's clock has aad its vacation, Queen's college timeplece in the tower has to take a rest. Since Dr. Taylor went abroad the academic clock has been kicking up. Have you tried the toe walk? If not, get it and improve your appetite 2nd health generally. But do not ise your toe on little Johnny. The churches now come along and tell the women how they must dress. And the women pay great attention to the orders--yes, It is sald that Brockville furnished the most striking and abbreviated costume' at the military ball the other night. There was more of the wearer to be seen than there was dress. Loughboro may get more rain than Wolfe Island, but its capital, Sydenham, is without street lights. Has Sydenham not a dozen publie spirited residents who could put up five dollars apiece and keep the street lights burning? Stuart street residents think that the automobile club sign "Drive Slow" at the Queen's gate is ungram- matical. "Slow" is given in the dictionary as an adverb and besides Bill Shakespeare used it as such. An English telephones girl has just retired at the age bf eighty, Here in Kingston a 'phone girl either dis- appears or weds long before that age. When Col. W. D. Gordon was O. C. at Kingston twelve years ago he put a stop to people denuding Cedar Island of its evergreens for decorat- ive purposes. If the denuding con- tinues the authotities will have to change the Island's name. Some people wonder why they ean- -8| tien} The First And ihe Memory-biam said» Grizzly-Bear-Woman, who . = ~frdian once, Tor told her little grandson i ever any his arrows sholild stick in a tree not to climb that tree, no matter how many arrows he lost. The boy obeyed for a long time. 'B one day, his very best arrow stuck in a tree not far from the ground, and he climbad to get it. But, the more he climbed, the far. ther away ths arrow 30t and he went on climbing and climbing until he got to Skyland. "Ab" said the Chief of Sky-land, "e5 you disobeyed your grandmother | See what has Eappened." ! "I am very sorry," said Boy, and he meant it "Well" aid the Sky-Land , Chief, "since you are sorry, that is go 1 will be as easy as I can, ut you I will make yo the Chickadee, so that even if you cannot be a boy, you can aiways be merrv." Reing sorry may make a punishment less, but it won't orevent it. R-W, - Windows Ajar "I was told, mether. to open my window at wight, but I'm not going to co it any more. Each time § try it, I feel hoarse the next morning, or my cyes are full of wax and swollen." "But, my dear child, it is certainly an excellent thing to sleep with your windows open, and all your troubles can be avoided if you do it the right way. One great rule: open always the top part of the window, never the ~ lower, and always open it wide, not * only a little, so th, not a draught." / , "But why should a draught give colds when a large current of air doesn't?

If the hammer strikes hard the anvil lasts the longer, not get workmen to stick with them longer than a few days. It might be because Kingston's labor classes are not used to being bellowed and cursed at. It's the same with char- women.
