ygomen,s Education.

The suggestion that women's educa-
ton should break with tradition and
should differ materially from mems is
made to me perhaps more frequently
than any other by men pondering over
the problems of women's education.
That it is never made by thoughtful
women shows, think, that in educs-

ing themselves, women have the sounder

His Faith Was Rewarded.

They were going to try colored man
for stealing a quantity of raw cotton,
and when the hour arrived went up to
the courthouse to hear the case. The
prisoner was man about 40 years of
age and had elected to plead his own
case. The prosecution proved that the
bag of cotton was found in his cabin,
and the property was fully identified as
belonging to the owner of a compress.
The prisoner asked no questions, but
said he wanted to make a statement and
rest his case "wid de Lawd." After
awhile he was given an opportunity to
speak, and he said:
81 war gwine by dat compress at
'leben O'Clock at night, when a voice
called out to me: Hold on dar, Abra-
ham Jones! Yo' was pore man, an yo'

to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the

treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. I went to
Florida, thinking that change of eli

The friction set off the matches and the

blaze was extinguished before the wheel

The Tilted Hat.

The newest and perhaps the ugliest

eyes is the round hat with moderate
crown, but SO fashioned that it tits de-
cidedly over the left ear, the brim being
considerably raised on the opposite side,
not alone by-reason of the tilt of the
hat, but because especially designed to
produce the reckless looking effect that
is neither smart nor ladylike, even
though affected by royalty or because it
is replica of the Duchess of Devon

that lovely looking woman. What might

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of a con-
dition of the blood which produces a
fiery irritation almost unbearab1e. It is
mistake to think that this local irrita-
ton is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence of a disordered condition of the
blood. D The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various sa1ves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all faint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
course of SIS. taken promptly, as ap-
parent1y Insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
of Eczema unless properly treated.
It matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it out.

dent and highly respected citizen of
