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
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered q little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since 1t was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged but ! thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
SO purchased set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
provement, and ih one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight, but II we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

Her Pointed Retort,

When the old lady put her head out
of the window and inquired OF the
young railway porter what the train
was stopping for the young man

the old lady's expense.

morning; they're giving FER a drop O

"Ah. it's water said the old lady.

they're givin' her port wine."

WORKING THE ROADS.
Systematic Effort Rather Than epas-
mooic Work and Big Money Outlay.

All through this great United
States the question of good roads is,
/ dare say, given as much thought as
any other question which is of vital
interest to both tho farmer and the
merchant. The merchants, and towns
people in general, are just as much in
terested in having good roads leading
into their villages and cities as the
farmer is in having good road adj
jacent to his own farm. Many of the
smaller cities and villages could not
exist were it not for the farming COM
munity surrounding them, and they
are willing to help improve the main
Travelled roads to draw trade, or keep
it from a neighboring market
In travelling through the different
states it is surprising to note the adj
vancemert made in building roads
during the past decade. Yet there are
many places where the roads have
been opened for 80 or 40 years and to-
day they are scarcely passable-mile
after mile of roots and holes which
not only make travelling slow but
racks and breaks vehicles.
In the eastern part of Michigan is
township where the roads all
through it are credit to the people.
Their plan of improving the roads is
to DO road work. At the township
election, where the whole people have
a voice, they appropriate as much
money as they are able to raise to be
used in the hauling of gravel on the
roads after the regular road tax has
been worked out in June, where the
roads are dry. At this time chey
round up the road bed and clean out
all bitches SO that no water will stand
and cause holes to be cut by the pass.
ing of heavy loads. This leaves the
roadbed in splendid shape for the
gravel, which is put on later in the
summer. After this is put on the road
is thoroughly packed with a steam
roller. Again in the fall just before
1t freezes up the roadbed is rounded
up with the road grader. Another i'm.
portant factor in their road building
besides having plenty of good graves
! In all parts Of the township is that
they have few men who understand
how and when the work should be
done and the management is given
over to them year after year rather
than choosing a new path-master
every year to work out new ideas
which are not logical and are not a
means to successful end.
During the winter, continues the
correspondent of Farmers Review,
when there is nothing much to ex-
cept chores, they make "Bee," and
everybody, or nearly everybody,
spends two days hauling gravel. This
work is donated for the good of ths
cause. The gravel is put on the side
roads during the winter. This keeps
all the roads where lighter teaming is
done in good repair, at the same time
it increases the value of property not
located on the main roads.
Farmers in this township always
have good roads, which saves time
when they find it necessary to make
a hurried trip to town in harvest
They have not the wear and breakage
of rigs that some have, neither have
they a fog of dust settling on their
crops every time team passes.

May Be Needed for Breakdown.

AT this season of the year the
farmers are getting busy in the fields
and where a breakdown occurs, espe-
cially If the farms are large, great

pairs. There are always apt to be I'M

MISS HUI DA KUGHLER

There is beauty and attractive
ness in health which is far greater
than mere regularity of feature.
A sickly, irritable, and complaining
woman always carries a cloud of
depression with her; she is not only
unhappy herself but is a damper to
all Joy and happiness when with her
family and friends.
1t is the bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging and that everything tires
her; If her feminine system fails to
perform its allotted duties, there is
nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness,
backache, headache, bearing down
pains, and irregularities, causing
constant misery and melancholia,
she should remember that Lydia 4.

A Class BY Himself.

Congressman Haskins' attitude as "a
presidential candidates suggests the
familiar story of the iuryman who com
planned Of the obstinacy of his eleven
associates a reason why a verdict could
not be reached.
The Green Mountain Press lays down
the Law supplements in this connection
in this wise:-
congressman Haskins usually saws
something when he talks, and he is not
always trying to follow the crowd.''
This is evidently one way of saying
that he is willing to go it alone. Now.
1T takes pretty good, big man to do
that. 1t takes a nstural-born road build
er to blaze trail. 1t is sometimes " iser
and just as well to follow along with the
rest of the company. Majorities ought to
rule, and the crowd is usually headed in
the right direction. Going it alone does
not necessarily indicate courage, it NAV
even forcibly illustrate painful lack OF
plain horse-sense.
Col Haskins may wake up some day to
ind himself in class by himself and the
weather trihe frosty. This might i'm
prove his company but would prove a
monotonous and lonesome experience to
one of his genial disposition and recop-
nized social characteristics.-St. Johns

Proctor and a Second Term.

II Is an unusual spectacle that il pre-
sented by the people Of Vermont in urg-
ing Gov. Fletcher ID. Proctor to become a
candidate for election TO the office of gov
ernor for second term. It is rare
thing for a governor Of this state To make
such a record in office that the people Of
the state naturally turn to him with the
request that he continue in Office and the
disposition of the people to do this in the
present instance is one of the greatest
testimonials to the efficiency OF his ad-
ministrstion that Governor Proctor could
possibly have, and il is likewise one OF
the best reasons in the world why he
should consent to be renominated.
What the governors personal views are
regarding the proposition have not yet
appeared, hut it il apparent that all he
needs TO do in order to be reelected is to
let it become known that he would accept
another nomination. The administration
of Gov. Proctor has been characterized
thus far by rare ability and judgment.
He stands out conspicuously a. an execu-
tive who measures up TO the full standard
of the people, striving upon every occa
sion and in every official duty to main
tain the dignity and honor Of the state
and to bring the greatest good to the
greatest number.
So well has he succeeded in doing the
right thing in the right place at the right
time that only a word from him is needed
TO effect the complete overthrow Of the
congratulated mountain rule. by which
the goveruorship alternates between the
east and west sides OF the state every
two years. II has been intimated that
Senator Redfcld Proctor. father of Coy.
Proctor wishes mis- son TO succeed him in
the United States senate, and that the sit
uation might be somewhat embarrassing
II Senator Proctor should resign his post
during Gov. ProCtor's second term. when
1t would become necessary for Gov. Proc
tor to appoint someone 70 fill the vacau-
cy. 1t has not appeared yet tina. Gov.
Proctor wants to succeed his father. and

Missing His Real Opportunities.

The hide of Clarence j., he Of the Anti
Saloon league, seems at last to have been
punctured by the successive yolleys OF hot
shot from different state papers and he
has issued an open letter in which he
takes a whack at various editors Jour
selves included) for criticizing his efforts
to bring about the return Of prohibition.
We will admit that we have said some
pretty stiff things about Clarence-igni-
tions, he calls them-and at times our
self-respect has rebelled when we cOnsid-
cred the person against whom we raved.
1t is not spOrtsmanlike, we will admit. 10

Yet when we consider the real good that

said but rather sorry TO mink OF the dam
age the Temperance movement is suffering
at he hands OF Ferguson. Court records
are produced 10y him TO show that under
prohibition there were less arrests for
drunkenness than under local option.
This may be true in some cites-in seE-
eral for that matter-but what does it
prove? If Mr.. Ferguson would give less
time to the study OF court records and
more to the study OF condit - as they
actually exist he would disUyer-if ne
would allow himself to do so-that Yer

liquor traffic now than it did when town
agencies fiourishcd everywhere and Off
GERS did not attempt TO enforce a law be
hind which there was no bulwark OF pu b.

and his heart aches. As long as the

plishments will amount to very little
compared with those Of similar organiza-
lions in other states.-Brattleboro Re
