A Popular Resort.

Two negroes and one white man, who are charged with burning the Cleveland county Jail at Rison, are confined in the Jefferson county jail for safe keeping. The white man, be- sides being charged with burning the jail, is also charged with breaking jail twice before, and in addition to this there is charge of bigamy against him The Jefferson county jail has quite a reputation for safe keeping, for at present Cleveland, Lincoln and Arkansas counties have prisoners there, and there are a good many more who use that jail when important arrests are made.

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
 Ious 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 despair we went to a third one. Mat Nsrs became so bad that he had regu- lar holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with spoon. for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger. 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. I think his face must have itehed most fearfully.
 We finally thought nothing could help. and had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Eu rope, hoplng 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 ently. and we soon saw miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared 1t also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F.

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
 Cream.

A Mass. physician has found a cure for constipation in children - citing fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape Nuts.
 Some time ago." he writes, T be- came interested in your food, Grape Nuts, as cure for constipation in children. Having tried it in nay own family. have advised 1t in fifteen cases in which all suffered with con stipation more or less severe The re- suit has been absolute relief in all
 Il write this that other children may be benefited"
 How much better it is thus to bring about a healthy action in the bowels of growing children by natural means. than to feed them with improper food requiring some kind of cathartic at intervals to overcome constipation.
 Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en. tire nervous system including the nerves that cause the natural con. traction and relaxation of the bowel muscles, that propel the food mass along.
 ~ io PituiScSteu dISo, ana the blood easily absorbs the food as 1t goes through the body, storing up vitality '.and force for the functions of all the organs.
 Children especially, should get the right start as to habits of living. They should grow into bright, strong, cheerful men and women. Grape Nuts Solve the question of the start: wholesome appetite will do the rest.
 Children's teeth are benefited bv chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent. ist will tell you that certain amount Of exercise in chewing firm food. is necessary to grow strong. beautiful teeth.
 Teeth need exercise just the same as muscles, if they are to grow strong and firm as nature intended GrapeNuts gives the ersrcise and also gives material from which good teeth are made.

would not digest, suffered great pain
after eating, and could not. sleep an en-

seemed to be poisoned.

and steadily grew worse. About 8 years
