AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

Covered with Yellow SOres-Grcw
Worse Parents Discouraged
Cuticura 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, green
ish sore. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one or her
eyes. Doctor No. said that we nad
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
eyesight was gone. We were nearly
discouraged, but 1 thought We would
try the Cuticura Treatment, SO | pur-
chased 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 I'M one week all sores had
disappeared. Of course it could not
restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye. Mrs.

Compound as she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 1856 Lawrence
St., Denver, Col, writes to Mrs.
Pinkham:
81 was practically an invalid for six
years, on account of female troubles.
I underwent an operation by the
doctors advice, but in few months I
was worse than before. A friend adj
vised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Trade Unions Are At Work to Settle
 the Question.
 Berlin, Nov. 2S.-Herr Richard Cal- wer, one of the best authorities in Germany on social questions, contrib utes an article to the "wurstehaft1iche Korrespondenz." in which he discusses the question of unemployment in the Empire. Hardly a day passes, he says. in which it is not reported from some part of the country that working hours have been reduced or workmen dismissed. Trade unions are holding conferences all over the country to discuss what had best be done in face of the hard times both present and to come Several of these unions have already petitloned municipalities to take steps to alleviate the misery, The coming winter is looked forward to with the deepest anxiety.
 Enumerating the unemployed Herr CaIwer's first cable embraces about one-third of the total of the wage earning classes, viz, 4.633,O00 persons. Allowing for those who have found employment fin agricultural pursuits. he reckons that among these 1S0.000 are at the present moment unemployed and extending his argument to the ag- Rregate he reckons that in Germany there are now sS0. 1000 unemployed.
 Extending his calculations to the future. he asserts that in December this number will have reached 660.000, and under the most favorable circum- stances will not be below 520000. Should suitable steps not be taken in time the number may even reach three-quarters of a million.

Old Pioneer Will Tell of His Life Among the Indians and First White Men of Alabama from 1913 to IS4O

through Eamley, in true Indian style. I could understand much of his speech, but could not begin to give It as Hamley did. The Prince' said that he had often heard of The French Captain, but now l see him. take him by the hand; know from what l see that he is the true one that have heard spoken of. am not deceived too many men have come 8 long ways to meet him. He Is bound to be the very man the Americans are looking for
 "Tbe Prince, after assuring the Gen- eral that he was satisfied as to his identity, went on to say that ne had once warred against the Americans, and that The French Captain had warred for them, and, of course, they had once been enemies, but they were now friends that he (the Prtnce) was now getting old, which his withered limbs would show, making bare ms arms at the sano time. He could not live long, but that his people and the Americans were at peace, and he hoped they would remain so."
 This scene in Alabama history. the description of which reads like ro-
 mance-and which was never commit ted to paper except by General Wood-
 ward. It is only typical of hundred
 such scenes that he describes in the remafkaDle "reminiscences oI <AlaUdmo'
 Of equal interest is his description
 of the reception given General Lafay-
 cite on the spot where now stands the Capitol of Alabama, but which was Itwenty-two years before spade had turned the first dirt for the Capitol building.
 The "Reminiscences are sprinkled not
 only with the names of the leading Alabama Indians, but with the names l@e AlA Ardk xrraa Tuh Alabama. They deal with the people
 and scenes of Montgomery and East
 Alabama. To the thoughtful and
 reading Alabamian, no romance can
 have the interest of this rare and precious bit of early history.
 In this belief, the "Reminiscences will
 be presented in The Advertiser just
 as they were written by General Wood ward. The first installment will appear
 next Sunday and each succeeding Sun
 days Advertiser will contain install- | ments.

KING HIRES AWAY
 CLUBS STAR COOK

Paris, Nov. 2s.-King Alfonso has carried off Merechal. the chef of the Jockey Club, who began proceedings at Madrid on November 1st. The Jockey Club was loath to let him go. but courtesy to a young gourmet of a monarch prevented the kitchen comj mittee from entering into competition with him. As matter of fact. the club has cooliy appropriated the chef of another club. the equally Aristocrat- ic but trihe duller "union." that is to say, the Cercle de i'Union Diploma tique, on the other side of the boule- ward, almost opposite. Having lost Marachal, the Jockey Club has bought over the, Uninn,a chef. This is the sec ond time the Union has suffered in- directly through Royalty. Some time ago a "cannafd aux naametss at the Jockey Club, instantly secured the services of the author of the masterpiece,. who was MarechaPs deputy. The Jockey Club bowed. and went over the way. where 1t bribed one of the Unions cooks as substitute. Now the great Mareclia1 himself has been captured by royalty and once more the Union Club, which never seems to mind, and apparently possesses an inexhaustible supply of cooks, has furnished a suo- cessor. Indeed AMarechal himself had come originally from the Union. He is said to be unrivalled in the prepara- ton of carp and grouse. He himself said that he has no real rivals in any thing. He acknowledges that King Edwards chef ts a brilliant artist, but says there Is just ever so little of a romantic tonch about his manner" Now, Marchel does not find fault with romance and poetry in cuisine. But" he concludes. after all, is not true classicism the real thing7 am a classic"

vaFaries of the public clocks. The London County Council recently re- mitted to It's General Purposes Com- uittee a memorial from the guild up- on the subject.
 It is urged by the guild that it is highly desirable that arrangements should be made for the synchroniza- tion of a number of public clocks in various districts of London, and in other large towns-of some one clock say that at the telegraph ofice--tn small towns and villages with Greens with meantime, these selected clocks to be marked and labelled as stand- ard coclxs. The County Council is ask ed to have all public clocks under it's control synchronized fin the same way. The Local Government Board. on the other hand, is asked to take stronger measures. that is to say. to secure the passing of a bylaw compelling per- sons who exhibit clocks publicly to have them synchronized. on pain of losing the privilege of possessing out side clocks at all. The committee also had to consider communication on the subject fro mthe British Horolog- ical Institute. The institute is op- posed to the compulsory sychroniza- lion of public clocks, but 1t is in fa- vor of requiring those responsible for inc control of such clocks to see that they are accurately rated and reliable The Institute also favors the removal of clocks unable to conform to these reouirefnents The committee's re- nort just issued. states that after careful consideration they do not seq their way to make a recommendation on the subject

LONDON FACES NEED OF
 REGULATING ITS CLOCKS

London, Nov. 2s.-Ths Tying clocks of London were the object of spirited
 correspondence in the early part of the year. At that time the arguments for and against sychronization were fully discussed, and 1t was suggested
 that the most effectual method of se- curing uniformity would be to induce authorities like the Local Government Board and the London County Council to take action in the matter. Sir John Cockburn's assertion, in opening the correspondence. that "a lying time keeper is an abomination and should not be tolerated" was cordially en- dorsed. and his proposal that "a by- law might well be framed requiring clocks in public places to be synchron- ized with standard time. the penalty for repeated disregard to be removal of the offending dial" aroused con- siderable interest. though not perhaps such general approval Now this proposition has been revived by tho British Science Guild, who are taking the lead in a movement to induce the two authorities mentioned to realize their resp onsibilIty for controlling thu
