When four days old my babe broke out over
one side of his head and body with watery
blisters, which turned to complete scab.
We called the family doctor, and he said that
"he could heal them up" but "thc baby
would never have any moro hair on his hcad,'
were told to try CUrIcURA REMEDIES and
did so. We used two boxes of CUrIcURA, two
cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and he now is all
right. The hair is thick. and you would
never think there was anything the matter
with him, he is so fat, gootl, and hearty, and
/ do not know how to praise CJiTIcuRA REV

u ANTIQUITY oF ffiE MEASLES.
People IN All Times Have Suffered From
This Disease.

-
Of course every one thinks he knows
What measles is and yet very few really
know more about the ailment than the
fact that it is acontagious disease, char.
acterizeds by sore eyes, sore nose, sore
throat and an eruption Of the. skin.
The disease is one Of great antiquity,
dating as far back as "a. D. 900. at
that time, however, It was COMPOUNDED
with smallpox and scarlet fever BY
many observers smallpox and measles
were always regarded as one and the
same disease, differing only in degree
This misinformation was not fdispelled
until 1910, when Sydenham, an Eng
llsh physician declared that they were
distinct diseases.
II About the origin of measles little is
known. At the present day the disease
is found all over the civilized world. It
is not known in nneivilized countries.
It has always been claimed that the dis
ease was due to a specific poison, but
the nature Of it was not known. Quite
recently, however, a European bacteri-
ologist named Czajikowski reported that
he had found a micro organism in the
blood Of a person suffering from mea-
sles, which he believed to be the cause
of the disease. Measles is unlike some
other contagious diseases, in that it is
no respecter Of persons or places It af-
fects all sorts and conditions Of people.
What better illustration of this is need.
ed than the present case in the first
household Of the land? The disease is
one Of the most highly contagious all
ments known. It is far more contagious
than smallpox, but the poison Of mea-
sizes contains much less vitality than
that of the latter. The poison of measles
exits in the breath, the blood, the tears
and in the secretions from the nose and
throat -, i~>S ~ =; So.
Although the disease is usually
classed as one of childhood, adults
sometimes suffer from it. The adult
cases are usually the more severe. In
fants under months are generally con-
sidered exempt from the disease, al
though there are exceptions to the rule
Measles is generally looked upon as a
necessary evil of childhood and one that
deserves but little attention. In sim
pie case that may be all well enough,
but there are usually other contingen-
cies, and some of these should be guard
ed against. In almost every case the
eyes become inf1amed and call for at
tention. There is usually bronchitis,
which,, if left uncared for, may be fol-
lowed by pneumonia and fatal ter1nina-

Greeting In the Pool.

The central pool at the aquarium is
80 feet in diameter. In this pool there
are among other fish three handsome
weakfish, each weighing about a pound
and a half. Sometimes the weakfsh
swim about in company, sometimes two
together and one by itself. Sometimes
the three move about separately, but it
seems as though they knew one another.

G The HEench 4 rnny u Ono 81 tho Greatest
81. Of y odern Times.
Every FIenchman owes service to
the state ia return for the protection It
affords his person, his rights and his
propertty This principle Is the foun-
sdation Of the military administration of
the French, whose ARMY is one Of the
greatest Of modern times, and whose
military disci pine is said to approach
as near to perfection as is considered
possible Ia so great an organization
Formerly the period Of active mil itary
service was five years, but recently the
chamber passed a bill reducing it to
three, at the same time lengthening the
periods spent with the various stages Of
the reserve force. AS in Germany, it is
possible to get a reduction of this term
provides sthe young man can produce
proof of certain standard Of ei ucation.
The degree Of bachelor, the certif-
cate d 'etude or the passing Of a special
examination set for the purpose enables,
though it does not entitle, the recruit to
get his period of service reduced to one
year. This Communication is only granted
where there is sufficient ground for be-
lieving the men are adequately trained
and up to the required standard.
Once out Of the active army, the men
pass into the reserve for six years, where
they undergo a short annual period of
training until thoroughly efficient sol
diers. The next six years are spent with
the reserve, after which they are drafted
into the territorial army, or third line
Of defense, for another six years, FREE
quently rising in rank to the position of
lieutenant, but not higher. Thence they
are put on the reserve territorial list.
This system gives France peace army
Of over 500, 900, which in time Of war
can be augmented to 100000 men, or
even more .lEsE-, H %
= Partly as a result Of the republican
nature of the Frenchman, and the adj
ministrative government, there is hardly
ever a trace Of class feeling in the rank.
The man of good blood receives no bet
ter and no worse treatment at the hands
Of his fellows and his superior officers
than does the recruited farmland, and
rich and poor share equally and good

dirty work. =. - .-..t.. 49,: Z

Of a building which had not been occu-

but that the prospective tenant had in
sisted that new floor be laid before he
take possession, as the old one had be-
come very much worn. The bullion
dealer knew that the previous occupant
had been a manufacturer of jewelry and
had been in business in the place for
many years. He promptly visited the
owner of the property and told him that
he would put in a new floor Of the best
wood for nothing The owner made a
few inquiries, but the, dealer said very
little in reply, except that he thought
he would manage to scrape a good. deal
of gold and silver dust from off the
floor. His offer was accepted The wood
for the new floor and the labor for lay
ing it cost about $500.
j. 1.-THE old flooring was burned and
the ashes put through course of re.

in the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of Dr. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name "Dr. Ward's''
a Household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake TO despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However,, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken, In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be Dr.. Wards or
''just as good as DR.. Ward's,'' frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his BUSH
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered In the U. 5. Patent Office
