Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura Soap and

“1 was troubled with a severe scalp hu¬

hair tonics, a friend induced tne to try
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor

For several years while the Cuban „ .
patriots were struggling against Wey
ler, I watched the contest with deep in¬
terest and sympathy. I decided to go
to Jacksonville and do what I could
to assist the revolutionists. I started
from St. Louis, where I had been liv¬
ing during the early part of 1897. Be¬
fore taking a train for the south I got
together the material for the con¬
struction of two exploding machines
of tremendous power, so that they
could be wound up and left in a select¬
ed place, with the certainty that they
go off with terrible destruction within
a few hours.
"At New Orleans I rented a room
and put the boxes together, after
which I went to Jacksonville. There
I became acquainted with a party of
Cuban leaders, who were planning a
filibustering expedition. They had en¬
gaged the Destroyer, a small vessel,
to take them to Cuba along with a
number of American and European ad¬
venturers who were anxious to strike
a blow r for Cuban freedom. Several of
the leaders of the party are men now
well known, and 1 will not mention
names, although I have among my
papers a list of them all. I suggest¬
ed to them they use my machines to
destroy Spanish warships in the har¬
bor of Havana and in other ports on
the coast of the island; they readily
seized upon the idea and when the
destroyer sailed with the filibusters
they took my two machines with
them. It was my intention to go
along with the party so as to direct
the work of sinking the Spanish ships,
but they dissuaded me, urging that I
could be of greater use in Jackson
viUe preparing other machines if the
first proved successfu .
“it was planned to have some mem
of the revolutionary party join
the Spanish navy so as to get the
machines aboard -f that failed, it
was decided to fasten one of the boxes
to the hull_of a ship mder the water
constructed the ma¬
chines so they could be exploded un
der water. That was lute in the fall
of 1897. The next spring the Maine
was destroyed. Only one of the men
in the secret of the machines ever re¬
turned to America. I saw liim some
time after the war with Spain had be¬
gun. He told me he had nothing to
do with the boxes after reaching
Cuba, but had been told a mistake had

The man who had been entrusted
with the work of destroying a Spanish
vessel attempted to fasten a box din¬
ing the night to one of the Alfonso
warships and blundered into blowing
up the Maine. I was told that the
man, immediately after learning of
the error he had made, committed sui¬
cide.”

Healthy Sunshine.
It has for some time been known
that sunlight acts as a destroyer of
many of those pathogenic organisms
which are popularly known as germs.
Some time ago an ingenious experi¬
mentalist demonstrated this fact in
a very convincing manner by prepar¬
ing a “culture” of these germs on a
fla| surface and exposing it to sun¬
light beneath a stencil plate, with the
result that he obtained an image of
the cut out part of the stencil in
dead germ life, the rest of the pre¬
pared plate being still alive. He
called it a "living photograph,” but
the same term ha3 since been applied
to the oopular cinematograph picture.
The Massachusetts Board of Trade
has recently carried out a series of
experiments in order to ascertain how
far sunlight \is able to cleanse water
affected with the undesirable germs
which result from sewage contamina¬
tion. The two organisms dealt with
more particularly were the colon
bacillus and that associated with the
typhoid. They found that both species
were quickly destroyed by free access
to sunlight.—Chambers’ Journal.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mother’s Food aud Drink.
Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mother's
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of a Kan¬
sas City mother is a case in point:
“I was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought I couid not eat a
meal without it. But I found at last
it was doing me harm. For years I
had been troubled with dizziness,
spots before my eyes and pain in my
heart, to which was added, two years
ago, a chronic sour stomach. Tlie
baby was born seven months ago, and
almost from the beginning it, too, suf¬
fered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me!
"In my distress I consulted a friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk; I have since as¬
certained that it really dries up the
milk.
“So I quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postuin
Coffee with the happiest results. It
proved to be the very thing I needed.
It not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. I no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in my heart or sour stomach. Postum
has cured them.
"Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months' old baby.
It has proved to be the best hot drink
we have ever used. We would not
give up Postum for the best coffee we
ever drank.” Name given by Postum
