inventor d Portland Cement.

Isaac Charles Johnson, the inventor
OF Portland cement, is still living in
Gravesend, Eng, and active, at the
age of 98. He was born in the year
1910, when George III. was king and
Jefferson was president, and when Ma
poleon was at the zenith Of his power.
Mr.. Johnson won an education under
many difficulties, as his parents were
poor. In early manhood he became
an architect, and a house which he
built in the Elizabethan style is stilf
standing at Swanscourt in Kent. 1t
was at this time that he first invented
Portland cement, which was first in
troduced into this country by Levi P.
Morton.

the taxpayers of Muskogee, for the officials
gathered valuable information in the num-
erous cities that they visited which they
could have secured in no osher way in
fosmation which win be needed later on.
The committee learned one thing. and
that is that no corporation has monopoly
on laying either good or bad paving, and
there is more in street paving than the
question Of material

A French painter who considers
himself an expert in antiques and old
pictures was recently travelling in
italy, and coming across a Titan ac-
quired it, paying a pretty large price
for 1t. Knowing he would have to
dodge the officials to get the picture
OF the country, he hit upon the
plan of painting over the Titan
with a portrait of King Emanuel in
uniform.
The trick succeeded admirably and
at the frontier the artist had no diff
fculty in passing h painting through.

efface the portrait of the Italian SOW

Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each Of
which gave us something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last. n of our friends recommends
ed to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm
provement could be noted. Since then
we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and is quite
cured. All that we used was one cake
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuti-
