II hired girl to mind the chil- dren and to do whatever else she could. l couldn't stay in bed long. Sick as l was, it was easier for me to crawl around than to lie and worry about my little ones. So l got up after few days, and let the girl go. had noticed that she had sores on her face, hands and arms, but I paid no attention to that until Charlie, my youngest, began to pick and scratch himself. He was then ten months old, and the girl had paid more attention to him than to any of the others. Charlie was fret full and cross, but as he was cutting teeth, 1 didn't think much of that. Even when rash broke out on his face 1 wasn't frightened, because everybody knows that that is quite common with teething babies. Sev- eral of my others had it when little, and l thought nothing about it.
 But the rash on Charlic's poor little face spread to his neck, chest, and back. l had never seen any thing quite like it before. The skin rose in little Jumps, and matter came out. My baby's skin was hot, and how he did suffer He wouldn't eat, and night after night walked the floor with him, weak as I was Often l had to stop because I felt faint and my back throbbed with pain. But the worst pain of all was to see my poor little boy burning with those nasty sores.
 II believed he had caught some disease from the girl, but some of the neighbors said he had eczema, and that is not catching, they told me. Yes, gave him medicine, and put salves and things on him. I don't think they were all useless. Once in a while the itching seemed to let up bit, but there was not much change for the better until lady across the street asked me why l didn't try the Cuticura Remedies. l told her 1 had no faith in those things you read about in the papers. She said she didn't want me to go on faith nor even to spend any money at first. She gave me some Cuticura Ointment Il think the box was about half full - and a piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed

Yes, that fat little boy by the window is Charlie, and his skin is as white as a snow flake, thanks to the Cuticura Remedies. I think everybody should know about the Soap and also the Ointment, and if it is going to help other mothers with sick babies, go ahead and pulp fish what have told you"

November McClure's.

The November McClure's which be-
gins the twenty-second volume of that
publication, is more than a mere mag
azine. In its three leading articles,
it presents a vivid picture of the sociol-
ogical conditions in the United States
which, in another age, may prove most
significant Recommendation. These
articles are a new type of literature.
They unite the patient research Of the
scholar to the brilliancy of the writer
Aud they are fearless. They rip open
the conventional veil of complacent
optimism and drag irto view conditions
that shock. Aud it IS that shock
which is invaluable. McClure's mag
azlne is doing work indeed worth
while-lt is awakening a whole Ma
ton.
In Miss Tarbell's first installment Of
the Second part Of her "History of the
Standard Oil Company" she pursues
her unsparing revelations, presenting
documental and unimpeachable' facts
regarded hitherto as mere vague ru-
mors started by these that have failed
in the life struggle. Corruption, sys-
tematic to a point where it can be
called scientific, is revealed, and the
picture Of the Standard Oh. Company's
illegal power is VIVID TO the point of
weirdness. On the more purely polit-
ical side Lincoln Steffens continuing
his startling series OBJ the governmental
degradation of cities, arrives at New
York, with q study of Tammany: and
in the semlpolitical, semi-social
sphere, Ray Stannard Baker reveals
a new phase Of what he calls "the new
conspiracy" in"The Trusts New Tool
The Labor Boss"
In relief to these somewhat serious
studies the rest Of the magazine is
taken up by delightful fiction. Norman
Duncan has n of his pov erful sea-
tales, "The Breath of the North. {"
"a Rush Order for Lamps" is an
amusing business tale, while "The
Mule Driver and the Garrulous Mule,''
by Rex E. Beach. is a Western story

The State University College of Ag-

ping this years Chicago cattle market
with a mixed bunch Of Hereford and
Short Horn steer. These brought 81 90
per hundred more than the market
price of the day on which they we're
sold. 1t may be of interest to know
how they were fed. They were fed for
one year. During the winter they we're
divided into four lots and fed the fol-
lowing ratlons with results as indica-
ted: Lot 1, corn clover hay average
daily gain 2 pounds; lot 2, corn and
timothy hay average daily gain l
pound; lot 3, corn aud fodder average
daily gain Ia pounds lot A., corr and
sorghum average daily gain "a pound.
This feeding was continued until May
first when the cattle were rediveded
into four lots. This time lot /, was
fed grass and C IN and gained on an
average Of "a pounds per day; lot >,
received grass, corn and liudseed meal
aud made an average gain OF 81
pounds per day; lot 3, grass corn ane
cotton seed meal average daily gain
"a pounds and lot A, grass, corn and
bran average daily gain 2A pounds
The cattle fed on both the hndseed
meal and cotton seed ration we're in
fine condition and fine finish. How
ever, the cotton seed mrxlure was con-
slderably the most profitable OF any of
the feeds.

SHOWS THEIR INCOMPETENCE.

Mr.. Hoke Smith of Georgia, who of President
Cleveands cabinet officers said in New York Mon
day: Our people making money. The farmers are
making money, and want that condition Of affairs to
continue" It necessarily follows that it will not
tinue if party that has opposed everything done to
bring this great prosperity power and pro-
ceeds to the tariff to pieces and upset things
orally The fact that the Democrats advocating a
revenue tariff" while at the time admitting the
undeniable prosperity that exists demonstrates their
incompetency to govern the country.
Tariff changes only be made safely by the Repub
licans That is equally OF the currency and other
important questions The of the Democratic party
these questions has that of disaster The
trade and free silver element of the party controls it.
But both factions oppose protective tariff. =
