Amelia E. Barr, In her autoblof-
rapby, tells of her experience In look-
ing for a "church home" in the big
city. She enjoyed a sermon by a fa-
mous preacher and wrote to ask about
joining his congregation. An officer
of the church called. After the polite
preliminaries he said: "Doctor C.
would like to know the name of your
banker." "My banker," she replied
In amazement. "I have no banker."
"You «ee,'' he continued, "ours Is a
very extravagant church—I mean In
good works—and our members must
be looked to for large subscriptions.
Doctor C. is acquainted with- your
name, and thinks highly of you, but
he Is afraid you would not be able
to give as—as liberally as our church
expenses demanded." Mrs. Barr looked
at him silently while he floundered In
explanations. Finally she said: "You
had better make no more explana-
tions, sir. I understand that only the
rich can be members of Doctor C.'s
church. The Ix>rd Christ also is there-
fore Ineligible. I will remain outside
with him."—San Francisco Argonaut.
Fanaticism and Progress.
Without fanaticism pt a certain
•ort, progress would be impossible.
The minds of men and women must be
surcharged with love of a cause, or
hatred of a wrong, else they will not
put their all into the fighting. The
very origin of the word "fanatic"
connotes absorption In a single idea,
for the word is derived from the Latin
"fanum" (a temple) and the "fanatl-
cus" waB supposed to be maddened by
the divinity whose fane he frequented.
And It. is quite certain that now, as of
old, the motive power of every great
propaganda is essentially religious,
even though the leaders call them-
selves agnostics or atheists. No abso-
lutely selfish or absolutely skeptical
person, can lead either the masses or
the classes. At the core of the triie
leader's being there must be an Idea
to which he clings and to which he
will sacrifice all else with a light heart.

with an all-consuming passion; Wil-
liam III. was cold, but he loved Hol-
land with a devotion that knew no

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS. DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay itching and Irritation of the
•calp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan-
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree-
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each

Physicians Recommend Castoria
CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three facts: first—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi-
lates the food: Third—,It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OiL1
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey^
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how-
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to.

Dr. B. HalBtead BcotJ, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed youf
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stand*
first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can Bay I never have
found anything that so filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Caatorla and
found it an excellent remedy In my household and private practice foe
many years. The formula Is excellent."
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children'*
troubles. I am aware that there are Imitations in the field, but I always
eee that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr."Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aslda
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas-
toria a popular and efficient remedy In almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas-
toria has made for Itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by tha
presence of children, scarcely needs to bo supplemented by the endorse-
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and
believe It an excellent remedy."
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physlciana generally do cot
prescribe proprietary preparations, but In the case of Castoria my experi-
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex-
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi-
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join mo in heartiest recon*
mendatlon of Castoria."

Baby's Deduction.
A well known clergyman tells this
story to illustrate the early age at
which children learn to "notice."
A young father, not ordinarily given
to profanity, had slipped Into the
habit of using bad words when, as
too frequently happened, his collar re-
fused to Tasten easily. One day the
collar—Impatiently discarded—fell up-
on the floor and later was retrieved by
the baby, Just beginning to creep and
talk.
"Dada, dada," cried the baby, wav-
ing the rejected article of apparel.
"Yes, It belongs to dada," said the
proud parent, snatching up his sen
and heir. "Now, baby, tell papa ItB
name."
"Dada's damn," came the cooing re-
ply.
In the Stone Age.
"Here are sign words, professor, on
the walls of this cave."
"So I see."
"They tell, no doubt, a tale of great
historical value."
"Not exactly. This Is Just the lease
of the cave. Says the tenant must
pay forty clam-shells per month In
advance and isn't allowed to keep
dinosaurs, pterodactyls or saber-
toothed tigers."
