BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
 -Cured by Cuticura.

My little son, when about year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. 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. At the end of about a year and half of suf- ferisg he grew so bad had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skele- ton and was hardly able to walk. sent to the drug store and got cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Rem edies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. l used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.

 ranted the Inference.

Prof William Lyon Phelps of Yale recently told this story at New Ha- vens chamber of commerce banquet: A hard drinker was told by his doctor that he could be cured if every time he felt that he must have drink he would immediately take something to eat instead.
 The man followed the advice and was cured, but the habit of asking for food had become so fixed with him that once he was nearly locked up as a lunatic. He was stopping at a hotel and, hearing great commotion in the room next to his. he peeped over the transom to see what the matter was He saw, and rushed madly down to the office and shouted to the clerk: The man in 153 has shot himself.

Town Belle Criticised.

A town belle got of the train at a small town between Atchison and To- peRa last night, says Ed Howe. She shook hands with her left hand. wore a larger hat than the girls who met her, wore pretty loud clothes, chewed gum and when she hit the cinder plat form of her home town lot of people grinned at her and said: Hello. there!" This town belle was not bad looking, but she couldn't keep her mouth closed even when she was not talking.-Kansas City Journal

scaIY Lea in Poultry.

Equal parts of lard and kerosene, to which has been added a few drops ot carbolic acid, make an effective rem edy for scaly leg. Apply once a week for two or three weeks and the trouble will usually disappear. Stubborn cases may take longer In warm weather a pan of water, with slight film of kerosene over the water may be placed where the fowls will have to walk through it. The kerosene will get the legs of the fowls and destroy the small parasites that cause the sea ly leg. This is very simple and often effective remedy.

THE INTERuRBAN IN IOWA.

The day of the interurban in iowa
is about to break. heretofore lnuch Oh
the interurban building has been done
on paper Most towns of any size are
considering or contemplating an inter-
urban proposition. The widespread IN
terest in and general acceptance given
the availability OF this means of trans
portation is in itself prophetic fore
cast OF what Iowa may expect TO come
to pass within n very near future.
Now President Polk of the Des
statement of what he is willing ana
desires to do. He is ready to risk
his money to make Des Moines the
center Of spider web of comuni-
eating interurbans He argues that
100000 people live within radius OF
sixty miles from Des Moines. and that
the lines would pay. That has been
and is the general impression. 1t is
reassuring TO have it Endorsed ty
capitalists like Mr.. Polk.
The interurbans when they once
fairly start, will grow as have the
rural mail delivery routes. because
of their convenience and utility Pos
sibly the same neglect of opportunity
as to interurban service may bring
the same regrets that failure to get
into the swim brought to towns which
neglected to begin pushing for mail
routes. Many an Iowa town found 1t
self efrdled with routes from other and
more aggressive cities and complained
bitterly when the receipts of the post
office fell away and the adjacent coun-
tryside found itself linked to another
distributing point. In the matter OF
the mail routes there came readjust-
ment. 1t is easy to change a mail
route. 1t is not so easy to change an
interurban line.
1t is time to get busy. Soon or
late the passenger traffic and local
freights between Iowa cities will be
largely carried by trolley or gasoline
motor lines. and as a commercial prop
osition each city must and will look
after Its own interests.

Country Manual Training.
Century Magazine.)

Even manual training needs new di
rection as it touches country life 1t
may not be necessary to eliminate the
formal exercises of model work and
weaving and the like; but some of the
practical problems of the home and
farm may be added.
How to make a garden, to lay out
paths. make fences and labels, are
manual training problems. How to
saw board off straight, to drive
nail. to Whittle peg, to make a tooth

to sharpen saw, to paint a fence, to

to harness horse-the problems are

THE ONLY KIND THAT PAYS.

Good. clean athletic sport nearly al
ways draws a crowd to watch 1t. Just
now the center of interest is the base
ball championship fight in progress be-
tween the Chicago and Detroit clubs.
1t is professional athletics. but II
WINGED that the contest is a true one,
that the best men in the business are
striving, not for the gate receipts, but
for the satisfaction and glory of win
ming. The justified conviction is that
it is a clean. square fight for pre-
eminence in a game that every Amer
lean understands and that nearly every
male American has played. SO it pays.
Twenty thousand people paid
admission yesterday at the Chicago
grounds. How many sat and stood
about bulletin boards in every town
where special wire news was displayed
no one can estimate.
1t was typical crowd everywhere,
democratic, partisan, unafraid to voice
an opinion or talk back. Professional
men lodged the office for an hour or
two, mechanics slipped away in their
overalls, under one excuse or another,
every class watched the blackboard,
guessed out the next play, cheered
when Detroit's batting streak took the
lead in the eighth and when Chicago
tied it up by a rally. In Marshalltown,
at any rate, the crowd came together
fro mthe pure interest in the game. Not
bet was made, publicly at least.
There is something in all this. 1t
augurs we'll for the American people
Of all classes. They demand con-
test that is ION the square, whether
in base ball or in politics. 1t is this
spirit that makes Roosevelt a pre-
eminent leader. He plays the game
on the level" without too much thought
of the gate receipts. It is the same
spirit that brings out the people in
favor of any man who stands for the
square deal; that makes popular de-
mand for a primary law or an honest
umpire in a ball game.
Go to the game-any game played on
its merits. Watch the American citi-
zens who patronize it. Take note Of
their attitude. The crowd is always
honest and generally right. You will
come away confident that the spirit Of
is safe in It's own hands. The only
game that pays is the square one.

CAS- far as it is personally con-
