BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts

Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
lous Cure by Cuticura
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called In the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him, and In our de-
spair we went to third one. Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes in his cheeks, large enough to put
a finger into. The food had to be CIV
en- with a spoon. for his mouth was
covered with crusts as thick as a fin
ger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes Hands.
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body, was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. 1 think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and 1 had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
entity, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about CuticuSa.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
len days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the e'ckness had appeared it also
began disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his Skin as smooth and white as
never before. F. Hohrath, President

Ring. Of Funxu. Growth.

Before people studied nature to
learn the truth, and when they delight
ed in all sorts of fancies, it was
claimed that rings of fungus growths
were caused by the dancing Of fairies.
by thunderbolt entering the ground.
or by the work of moles. Various 9TH
er equally absurd explanations have
been given. Now we know that the
first fungus plant growing from a
spore takes from the soil under and
near II all or most OF the special food
that the plant requires. Only the
spores from this plant that fall just
outside the exhausted soil will find
good fungus food. and so the circle Of
successive growths widens because
only the spores outside Of the ring can
find food.-St Nicholas.

The President Like. Caildrer.

President Roosevelt is deeply inter
ested in the girls and boys Of this
country; he likes to meet them; be
likes to hear about their progress; he
is interested In their home life. and
especially in their sports and the
books they read. On all public occa-
s.ons, when there is a group of young
folk come TO greet him, he is sure to
show his pleasure; and he Is the only
orator who is not disconnected by the
cry of the very small child that the
mother In the country district must
bring with her to the meeting, or miss
the sight Of the President. The fact
that the President has children Of his
own, to whom he is an elder brother
and most sympathetic elder broth
er-has much to do with his attitude
toward the young folk-St. Nicholas.

RIGHT WAY TO DRINK TEA.

Chtnam0n the Only One to DO HI
Properly-Quality Counts.
Tea drinking a la Chinese has re-
Gently become one of the amusing lit
tie fads Of fashionable life. Russian
tea, with its accompaniment Of lemon,
has given place to that delightful
fragrant infusion which tourists visit
ing the oriental eating places Of the
Chinese quarters marvel at and pay
fancy prices for, but which can be
made quite as successfully at home II
one knows how. This does not mean
that only the Chinese brand OF tea
may be used,s although to cultivated
taste 1t is undeniably superior, but
rather that it is made as tea should be
made, and it is served with all the
attending customs and accessories Of
the fowery kingdom. The poorest
Chinese laundryman or vegetable ped
der, says Leslie's Weekly, drinks tea
of quality far superior to that served
I'm the most elaborate homes or the
most expensive hotels. 'Melicans him
boil tea-alle same medicine" once
observed Toy, our Chinese cook; and
one day, when speaking Of the cream
and-sugar habit with tea, he scornfully
remarked: Heap, cheap-tea cost
hap dollar; one dollar allie same-cost
a. dollars allie same-no one can tell"
Most lovers of the cup that cheers
will agree with him that adding cream
and sugar to very fine tea seems al
most a sacrilege, and, too, that the
usual method of tea-making in the av-
erage American home is bound TO spoil
the flavor Of the very best tea. The
Chinese laborer drinks tea at intervals
Of every half-hour or so, and the bev-
erage seems to impart an impetus for
unfiagging labor.

The case of Mrs. G. w. Pearson, who

ing one. Here is the story told by
Mr.. Pearson, her husband, In his own
words. He says:
''My wife's health was bad for a
long time. Last July she was taken
terrible bad with spasms. 1 sent for
the doctor, and after making a thor
ough examination Of her, he said un-
doubtedly the cause of her trouble was
a disordered state of the Kidneys.
His medicine didn't seem to be doing
her much good, so as l heard about
Dodd's Kidney Pills, got her a box
just to give them a trial Well, the
effect was just wonderful. 1 saw that
they were the right medicine and
got two more boxes. When she had
taken these she was so much better
that she had increased thirty pounds
in weight. She Is now quite well, and
we owe it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills."

For State Senator

George b. Williams, the Republican
candidate for state senator from this
county, came to Churchill county in
Ia, Is a young man barely out of his
teens. His first work was done for the
firm OF Kaiser & Williams, stockmen,
Who employed him to haul water and
hay to Deep Hollow, a station that was
maintained in those days at a point
about fifty miles south of Fallon, where
the hay and water were sold to travellers.
From this work Mr.. Williams transferred
his energies to ireighting, being en-
ployed for three years as driver OF a
freight outfit which transported salt
from the Sand Springs deposit to
Grantsville, Nye county, where it was
used for milling purposes.
He later purchased a one-fourth in
teest in the Golden Crown Silver mine
at Bernice, which he worked with va
rying success until the demonstration
OF silver reduced the price OF the white
metal until forcing him with thou
sands OF others, to close down his prop
erty.
He has been engaged exclusively in
the sheepraising business for the last
twelve years, during which time he has
amassed considerable wealth by business
methods and frugal habits. BY reason
OF his long diversified busin ess expert
ence he is peculiarly qualified to repre-
sent the county in the higher branch OF
the Legislature, and will poll his full
party vote.
