VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA.
Suffered Three Years-Physicians Did
No Good-PerfectIy Well After
Using Cuticura Remedies.

Il take great pleasure in informing
you that was a sufferer of eczema in
very bad form for the past three
years. I consulted and treated with
a number of physicians in Chicago, but
to no avail. I commenced using the
Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three
months ago, and today am perfectly
well, the disease having left me en-
tirely. 1 cannot recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies too highly to anyone
suffering with the disease that l have
had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, Is

BAD DREAMS
Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking.

One of the common symptoms of
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
formerly was a slave to coffee. I
was like a morphine fiend, could not
sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob-
Inns, would wake up with headaches
and feel bad all day, so nervous
could not attend to business. My writ
ing looked like bird tracks, had sour
belchings from the stomach, indiges-
ton, heartburn and palpitation of the
heart, constipation, irregularity of the
kidneys, etc.
Indeed, began to feel had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer,
but when a friend advised me to leave
off coffee felt as if he had insulted
me. I could not bear the idea, it had
such a hold on me and / refused to
believe it the cause.
But it turned out that no advice was
ever given at a more needed time for
I finally consented to try Postum and
with the going of coffee and the COM
ing of Postum all my troubles have
gone and health has returned. I eat
and sleep well now, nerves steadied
down and l write a fair hand las you
can see), can attend to business again
and rejoice that I am free from the
monster coffee"
Ten days trial of Postum in place of
coffee will bring sound, restful, re-
freshing sleep. There's Reason.

taking advantage of the weak simply

parent to all fair-minded persons.
The trade union is ever vigilant in
opposition to child labor. This appall-
ing system of making money at the
expense of sapping the life blood OF
members of the coming generation is
a source of regret and wonder-not
only to our own citizens, but also to
investigators from foreign lands. Lack
of education is a menace to any coun-
try Stunning of physique degrades a
people. Occasionally the exigency or
circumstances impels parents to add
to the family income, but the duty or
the state is imperative. Laws remedy
ing this condition of affairs are lob
bied against by interests not exactly
impersonal or patriotic, and their de-
feat is sometimes encompassed by
illegitimate means. The glass work
ers' association of Minetola, in south
ern New Jersey, has taken Is children
from the unhealthy work of the glass
factories and sent them to school, at
the same time paying the small sal
aries they were accustomed to. In
one of the southern states typo
graphical union is paying for the edu-
cation of future citizens of this repub-
lie who were few months ago en-
ployed in a mine-shut out from the
sunlight, from the pleasures of child
hood and from the opportunities that
have an upward trend. Of the disin-
terestedness of those associated with
the labor movement in preserving the
children of both sexes other instances
might be named did space permit.
Suffice it to say that the trade unionist
stands with those forces that have for
their object the elevation and not the
degradation of childhood.

she had an attack of nervous post

AS a matter Of fact, we were both
in fear and trembling that Ollie would
send tomato salad from the kitchen

would become chop suey.
Anyway, the guests arrived prompt

PUT IT IN GOOD LIGHT.
One Comforting Thought in the Death
of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one af-
ternoon she left the household in
charge of her eight-year-old boy. Be-
fore her return thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after it passed to find that half of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come, he thought
best to make clean breast of the
calamity, rather than leave it to be
discovered.
Mamma" he said, contritely, when
his mother had returned, mamma, six
of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. "Six!
How did they die?"
The boy saw his chance.
81 think-I think they died happy"
he said.-Harper's Weekly.

ARTIFICIAL PEARLS.
SiIvery Luster on a Pond That Set a
Beadmaker Thinking.

The string of artificial pearls was
very beautiful. But for the regularity
of the beads anyone would have
thought it a rope of real pearls worth
a kings ransom.
'I'll tell you," said the jeweler, as
he wrapped up the deceptive necklet,
"how the wonderfully perfect artificial
pearl came to be invented.
ga rich French beadmaker, Noise
Jaquin-he lived in the seventeenth
century-found a pond in his garden
covered one morning with lovely sill
very luster. Amazed. he called his
gardener, who said it was nothing
some albettes had got crushed, that
was all.
Athletics were little fish-bleaks-
the Leuciscus alournus. The gardener
explained that if you crushed them
they always gave the water a pearly
sheen like that. Joaquin put on his
thinking cap.
For six years he worked with beads
and bleaks, wasting millions Of both.
But finally he achieved success. He
learned how to extract the pearly lus-
ter from the bIeaks' scales and to
cover a glass bead with it.
what he did-and his method is
still used-was to scrape the scales
from the fish, wash and rub them
and save the water. The water, de-
canted, gave off lustrous fluid Of
the thickness of oil, a veritable pearl
paint, magic fluid that imparts a
lovely pearly sheen to everything it is
applied to.
ct takes 1000 bleaks to yield an
ounce of this pearl paint."-N O.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted of
going without hats. This is the way
he told it to an interested company:
"You see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are just like them"

Impudence of Hoi PolIoi.

A noted English artist was standing
at the edge of the road, waiting for his
horse, and he was dressed in his
usual peculiar style-mustard-colo
riding suit, vivid waistcoat and bright
red tie. A man, who had evidently
been reveling, happened to lurch
round the corner of the street. He
stared at the famous artist for min
ute in silence, then he touched his cap
and asked in tone of deep commiser-
alton, beg pardon, guv'nor, was you
in mournin' for anybody"

name. It's spirit is a recognition OF
labor in the sense Of manual work,
the cause of those that in ordinary
course make a living by toll; it is the
union of all, whether called-speak1ng
broadly to the nature Of the case-of
having their toll fruitful enough to re-
lieve them from steady application.
So it speaks to and stands for the
great mass of men as they have been
since society was organized, and as
they will be while it lasts. In this
sense it does not stand strictly for
those that work no less exactingly but
that are not classed as laboring men
AS Mr.. Martin acutely notes. But 1t
stands for them in a sense-the sense
in which it recognizes the solidarity
,of all work. There is a bond OF toll;
it is the union of all, though called Ia
boring men or not, who give value re-
oeived in the personal sacrifice OF
strenuous physical endeavor.
There is a difference here between
the toll of mind and body. Marx

ioyment of their rights, and the first
of May is made the occasion Of demon
strations of a political nature often
ending in bloodshed and always exc1t-
ing apprehensions among lovers OF
tranquility. In America the day is
merely an opportunity for workingmen
to prolong their weekly holiday from
Saturday noon to Tuesday morning.
Coming midway between Independ-
ence day and Thanksgiving day it is
an agreeable break in the continuity
of work. There is little parading,
but all the organizations of working
men take part in that. Picnics and
sports, family gatherings, and amuse-
ments of young people are the fea-
lures of the day.
Labor no longer has to assert itself
to have its rights and its dignity rec
ognized. 1t is of more value to the
older workman to have day off with
his family or to the young workman
to have a day with the people of his
own age than to spend the day noisily
in insisting upon rights which nobody
disputes and in displaying numeri-
cal strength which can be exercised
