of about a year and half of suffering
he grew SO bad l had to tie his hands
in cloths at night to keep him from
scratching thesores and tearing the flesh.
"He got to be a mere skeleton, and
was hardly able to walk. My Aunt
advised me to try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. So great was her faith in
it that she gave me a small piece of
Soap to try and little of the Oint-
ment. l took it home without any
faith, but to please her l tried it, and
it seemed to dry up the sores little.
Il sent to the drug store and got a
cake of the Soap and a box of the
Ointment and followed the directions,
and at the end of about two months
the sores were all well. He has
never had any sores of any kind since.
''He is now strong and healthy,

GIFTS FOR AN INVALID.
Christmas Remembrances That May
Be Made at Home.

Many useful Christmas gifts for in
for the hot water bottle is one that
calls for skill with crochet hook and
knitting needles.
Heavy lingering and bone needles
will be required for this, the bag being
knitted on two needles. \ frill is GRO
chcled, also of wool, and sewn around
the three sides and the mouth of the
cas-" When the water bag is inserted
the top is drawn together by running
ribbon in and out, tying the bag in
place, and it goes without saying that
this is much more pleasing and slightly
than the usual flannel case. To match
this a pretty covering for hand
warmer may be constructed on similar
lines, except that both ends are drawn
up and finished with tassels and loops,
though one is left open to receive the
warmer. Little bottles filled with hot
salt then tightly corked, are slipped In
the case and the open end drawn to-
gcther. When complete it is not unlike
the silk crochet purse of long ago, as
the hand warmer, though matching the
colors of the hot water bottle case, is
made of heavy silk in crochet.
Then, too, the sofa rug. that will
keep slipping off, may be made to re-
tain its position by having an under
portion-say half the length of the rug
into which the feet are slipped, thus
having it up to the knees both over
and under the legs. From the knees
upward the rug may be drawn up or
thrown back, as preferred, because this
part is single.
Every one knows how pillows are
apt to slip, whether the patient is lying
or sitting in bed, ana 50 a holder is
quickly and simply made by sewing to
strong pretty ribbon stocking sus-
pender clasps, which will grip the pill
low and hold it in place when the in
valid wishes to sit up for few min
utes. Leaning back again, she will
find it in exactly the same place. A
thoughtful gift would be strip OF
white linen embroidered, bound and
the ends finished with the clasps.

Freeport, N. Y, Is Paying Several
Times Too Much For Street Lighting.
All the evils connected with munich
pal ownership have grown cut of bum
Cling municipal operation. \ carefully
wrought out plan, With those in charge
held to responsibility, must be devised
before municipal operation can be sue
cessfully carried on. Leaving the mat
ter in the hands of new officials, elect
ed every year or two, without any
knowledge of how to carry on the
business, cannot be successful except
in very rare instances.
Take, for example, the municipal
lighting system at Frccport There Is
q valuable franchise which ought to
bring In Il fair revenue to the village
treasury. Some time ago wealthy
lighting company, which understands
the lighting business and can produce
incandescent light at small fraction
of the cost of generating it at the Free
port power house, offered to pay $780,
600 for the use of this franchise
Computed at 5 per cent, that meant a
rental of $500 per year. The COM
pany also offered to light the village
with a larger number of arc lamps
than are now in operation for $1,000
year. Deducting the rental of $500
from this annual payment, the village
street lighting on an all night system
would cost the taxpayers 1,500 year.
But the villagers thought 1t better to
have the system operated by their
elected officials, none Of whom Is an
expert in lighting matters, and we no.
tice that this year they propose to levy
between $4,000 and $4,000 by taxa
ton. They assure us that none of
this money is for private lighting. If
so, it must all be for street lighting.
Thus the street lighting costs several
times as much under municipal opera
ton as it would with municipal own
ership and intelligent business opera

now eXplrn the snake and
guinea story, as some might call
it,
In 1870. while we were living
m Lunenbug County1my wife set
thirteen guinea eggs under a
black duck. In due course of
time, she was expecting to see
the young ones. Went to the
fowl house early one morning and
started to take the duck from the
nest when to bedold she beheld
cooled up in the nest. a large
black snake. and Ofcourse like all
other woman, gave a scream and
out she came, calling for her Will
lam. Ofcourse | went in a hurry
with my gun. found the snake
nicely cOiled up therein, with his
head about 10 inches abovs the
nest, shot it off. threw him out Of
the house into the yard, cut him
open, took out the eggs, put them
all back under the duck, and in
two days goo therefrom twelve
twelve pretty little guineas. And
now allow me to thank you for
your kind support in the last
election. promising you like all
others to try to be worthy Of your
confidence.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A. In
twenty years the timber supply

This announcement was made
to-day by Clifford Pinchot the
Government forester. who has
just returned from sixth mouths
inspection trip. on which he ira
veled 10000 miles.
In sounding his warning, Mr..
Pinchot urged that the situation
should not be umderestimated.
He says that the United States
uses more timber per capita than
any other country, and that every
man, woman and child wenld be
affected. He decried the policy
OF discounting he future of the
country by failure to protect the
natural resourcess and he advises
every one who nas not done so
to read President Roosevelts
speech at Memphis on this gene,
raj subject.
About one-fifth of the forest
area Of the country is in Govern
ment reserves, but Mr.. Pinchot
called attention to the fact that
as privately owned timber lands
are better than the Government
reserves, as a general rule, the
Government does not control one
fifth of the timber supply. The
Forestry Service will ask Con
gress TOR more money and more
men in order to extend the ser
vice and push the work of re-
foresting the dcnuded timber
lands.
