AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-GreW
Worse-Parents Discouraged-Cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

Our little girl, one year and
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he cc-ild
help her, so We let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one OF
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. 1 saw one of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper anG
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so I went and purchased
a set of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores ha(
disappeared. Of course it could no
restore the eyesight, but if we ha
used Cuticura in time l am confideni
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good foI
any skin trouble or impurity of tn,
blood as Cuticura Mr. and Mrs Franz

SURELY WINS THE PALM.
One Mean Man Who OItdoes Some
Others.

Many stories have been told Of
mean men, such as he who used a
wart for collar-button and he whose
birthday gift to his son consisted in
washing the windows SO that the
lad might watch the cars go by
This man, however, seems to have
won the palm:
There was an extremely mean man
in New Hampshire, who was the pro-
prietor of a hotel. By his direction
rules were posted in the hostelry for
bidding almost every conceivable priv
ilege to those not guests of the place.
There was absolutely no chance for
the casual loafer to get newspapers,
pen, ink, stationery, etc. There were
not even free seats in the Office.
One day, relates the Success Maya
zine, he CHANGED to observe a chronic
loafer gazing at the old clock that
hung on the wall The next day a
sign was placed over the clock 1t
read: This clock is for the use of
the guests of the hotel only"

DEVELOPING the Sudan

There is talk in England of the pro
posed development of the natural re-
sources of the Sudan through scien-
tic exploration. Immense forests
line the banks of the Blue Nile along
its upper reaches, extending to the
Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree
is met with along that river and also
near the Sobat. Along the White Nile
the india rubber creeper, valuable
source of rubber, abounds. There are
large forests in the Bahr-el-Ghazal
province and gold has been mined in
some of the mountains. Search will
be made for fuel.

Laundry WORK at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it 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-

suit against the Frisco railroad for
burning meadows on his farm near
Columbus, caused by sparks escap-

amount involved aggregates $1,17O,

the negligence of the train crews

WATERSPOUT VISITS KANSAS
HALF MILLION DOLLARS DAM
AGE NEAR LEAVENWORTH.
Many Cattle Drowned and Wheat
Fields Ruined-RaiIway Traffic
Demoralized in Nebraska.

Leavenworth, Kan, July ia
waterspout Sunday night caused dam
age within radius of Is miles of
Leavenworth estimated at half a mil
lion dollars. Nearly six inches of rain
fell.
At Iatan, Mo-, several hundred head
of cattle were drowned and hundreds
of acres of wheat were washed into
the Missouri river.
All railroads report tracks out and
traffic demoralized. The Missouri river
is rising rapidly and persons living in
the bottoms are taking their stock
and other belongings to the hills.
Omaha, Neb., July 16.-Heavy rains,
in many counties aggregating eight
inches, fell over southern Nebraska
Sunday night and as q result railroad
traffic is partially suspended. The
Rock Island railroad is using Burling-
ton tracks between Omaha and Lin
coin because of washouts along the
Platte river. The Missouri Pacific's
Kansas City-Omaha line is washed out
in dozen places in southeast Nebras-
ka and no trains are running. The
Union Pacific is washed out on its
Kansas-Nebraska line. The Burling-
ton is washed out on many branches,
but the main line trains are running.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 16.-The
Missouri river at Kansas City and in
this vicinity has passed the flood
stage and more or less damage in the
wholesale districts in the west and
east bottoms here may be expected
very soon, according to Weather OBJ
server Conner.
The damage probably will be con-
fined to the flooding of easements of
the business houses in the bottoms
here and the driving out of squatters.
Des Moines, a., July 16.-Late Mon
day evening the official measurements
of the Des Moines river showed that
the flood tide had reached it's height
and was slowly receding. There was
much damage, and of the 80 or 40
families forced out Of their homes,
two or three had narrow escapes.

Half a Billion for BRIDGES,

Everybody thinks of New York as
the city of big constructive perform
ances, and it never disappoints. Here
we find big men with big brains and
unlimited capital. AS one prodigious
example, plans are now under way by
which within few years eight NAM
moth bridges, affording by far the
greatest centralized traffic facilities in
the world, will yoke Manhattan island
to its suburban shores, says Broadway
Magazine. At least one of these big
bridges will exceed in size the famous
Forth cantilever bridge in Scotland,
now the largest on the globe; another
will excel in capacity the old Brook
Ign bridge, which now has the largest
bridge traffic in the world. The big
gest bridge, which, of course, will
span the noble Hudson, may cost any.
where between $50,O0O,0OO and $780,
100000, while the other structures
will run the aggregate cost of New
York's bridges up to about $3.50, 000,-
900. About 1915 New York's total bill
for bridges and tunnels will approx
mate round half billion of dollars
all spent to aid transportation in and
out of the first city in America.
