Van, in recounting his experience.

illimitable space that lies between
a shortgrass town and the horizon
beyond.
Presently 1 dropped my hat into

more than an hour, for the children

BABY COVERED WITH SORES.

Have Died But for Cuticura."

"My little son, when about year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. had physi-

worse. Then they began to come on
his arms, then on other parts of his
body, and then one came on his chest,
worse than the others. Then l called
another physician. Still he grew
worse. At the end of about year
and half of suffering he grew so bad
1 had to tie his hands in cloths at
night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be mere skeleton, and was hardly
able to walk. My aunt advised me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l
sent to the drug store and got cake
Of the Soap and box of the Oint-

months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
l noticed somewhere recently-I
would not say positively that 1t was in
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-.
statements.
In the first place 1t was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact Is, it's
first occupant was President Adams.
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 1t was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make 1t beautifully
white.
l noticed this especially because l
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that l knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready.
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because had just read book
let published by firm Of ready.mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but "the
best and purest of paint could be
used,' and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even If 1t is only date
or a statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

The WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion of one who has trav-
eled much and observed closely. the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark. to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than dream. Here. still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir.
tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem
mime helpmeet; cringing to no en-.
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes OF heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
Of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as mat.
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every Guilty..
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for
ests Of valuable woods and the under
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds of miles to find. He is con.
tented, but small credit is his for that,
for how could he we'll be otherwise
than content? 1t is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but it is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its Incompatible fea.
lures. A railroad has recently cut it's
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright So it has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by class of immigrants
better capable of judging it's possibil-
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the clay Of the land"
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat
tie can fatten on free range, where
the wealth Of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-.
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.

HE MADE THE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded In Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator of Boston,
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, not asked to
address the students. as he had ex-
pected he would be. In chapel he
was merely requested to lead in pray
err. which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guido the steps OF the president Of
this college. Thou knowest that he
was a clasmate of Thy servant, a
graduate of the class of "a, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with the
consent of the trustees, as the head
OF this institution. Thou knowest
that the students of this college ought
to look upon him as friend as well
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right
eousness and loyalty of the stu
dents"
Finally, to the intense delight OF
the students, the visitor concluded his
prayer as follows:
"And l thank Thee for this oppor-
tunity to address the students of this
college"

DU BIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agreed with her and her husband. She
writes:
"Hy husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so l could not attend to
my housework-both of us using COT
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
of our trouble and advised Postum.
I took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But l took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used cup of
1t since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains Of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after l began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said of
coffee.
"A lady visited us who was always
half sick. l told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
| 1t, boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the

DIAMONDS IN UNITED STATES
Stones to the Value of $500 Found In
Single Year.

Never in the history of the United
States has there been such a demand
for diamonds as there was in 1905.
Large quantities were imported, but
the country produced none.
In 1903 it produced diamonds to the
value of $50, in 1901 it had an output
worth 500, in 1900 its production was
valued at $3.50, and in 1899 the coun-
try boosted native diamonds to the
value of $500.
Diamonds have been discovered In
the United States in four different re-
gions, but their actual place of orr
gin Is unknown. All have been found
in loose and superficial deposits, and
all accidentally.
It is not at all improbable, how
ever, that some day the original
sources of this queen Of gems may be
discovered. The high price OF dia.
monds has made the recent search for
these precious stones in the United
States and Canada keener than ever
before.-Scientific American.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory IL the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as It can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.

DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that pure alum baking pow

contained in sufficient quantity Of
baking powder for batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con-
centrated to one mouthful of food,
and taken into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quaint.
