SUVA FIJI ISLANDS, cast
ways from the British steamer Aeon,
who spent nearly two months ON
Christmas island, an almost barren
coral formation in the Pacific ocean,
arrived here today ION the steamer
Manuka OF the Canadian-Australian
line, all well and increased by one
in number. A daughter was born to
the wife of Chaplain b. r. Patrick.
U. s. NJ, twenty-four hours before
the Manuka was sighted, and this
event, with the arrival of the res
cuers, was made the occasion of
much rejoicing.
The Manuka reached Christmas Is
land on Sept 23rd. Six hundred
bags of mail were transferred to the
steamer during the night and the
passengers and crew of the Aeon
were taken aboard the next morning.
The HI-FaFted Aeon.
The Aeon left San Francisco on
July 9Th for Auckland by way Of
Apia and was carried on the coral
island by the strong currents set
ting inshore. The steamer speedily
broke up, but the mails we're saved
and large quantity oil stores. The
refugees suffered few privations, but
found themselves among remnants Of
former wrecks, indicating the danger
of the reefs and tides.
Besides the officers and crew the
Aeon carried Mrs. Patrick and her
children and the wife of Lieut.. w. X.
Riddle, u. S. N. Rude shelters were
built, but later quite an artistic cot
tage was erected for Mrs. Patrick
and her nurse out of lumber and the
cabin fittings of the ship. Among
the stores saved were plenty on
fresh vegetables and the men of the
crew got fish in abundance by the
use of clubs in the surf A supply
of fresh water was found at a depth
of seven feet, and, according to the

AMOUNT Of MILK FOR CALVES.
1t Varies with the Capacity of the
Animal.

The amount of milk tor calves
varies greatly with the capacity OF
the calf to take it. The amount
recommended to be fed also varies
greatly, some authorities recommend.
mg~ twice as much as others. With
reference to this question it will be
correct to say that during the earlier
weeks of the life of the calf no ad.
3uncts will be found superior or equal
to milk. 1t is also true at, the same
time that as soon as calves can utilize
other food to good advantage, it will
be found cheaper than milk. It fol.
lows, therefore, that the calves should
be given all the milk that they can
digest properly until they can make q
good use of other substitutes that will
take the place of milk.
But care should be taken not ia
overfeed milk, good as it is, cautions
the Orange Judd Farmer. This can
be easily done. The indications ot
overfeeding soon show themselves in
deranged digestion, and such derange.

ings. The moment that such an indi,
cation appears. the amount Of milk fed
should be reduced. ..ss,
It is very evident from what has

ECZEMA CURED BY SIMPLE OIL
Tender Skins Of Children soothed b,
Mild Liquid Compound.

Have you ever tried few drops of
an oil of wintergreen compound for
skin trouble? 1t is the basis of a
liquid compound which seems to be
about the only safe and sure cure
for eczema, salt rheum, letter, ring
worm and kindred diseases.
The liquid is so mild that it is used
with wonderful soothing effect on the
tender skins of infants.
To prove efficacious, the oil of win
tergreen must be mixed with thymol
and glycerine, as in the Prescription
of DR.. D. D. Dennis, the Chicago skin
specialist. The compound is known
as D. D. D. Prescription. Used with
D. D. Soap is appears to be infallible.
A. j. Brand. 1928 Joliet ST., New
Orleans, La, writes:
About five years ago when my
daughter was about three months old
she had eczema very badly. Her neck
was one solid mass of sores. and we
tried everything possible to relieve
her, but to no purpose. The doctor
VIC called said that he could cure her
but that it would take at least two
years to do SO and on account of her
ago we surely thought that her pain
would kill her. We began using D..
D. D. Prescription and after using
two bottles she was as well and hap
Ply child as you can see and with no
mark or scar on her skin.
MY youngest daughter, now two
wears old, started the same way with
a sore neck about six months ago.
We did not lose any time in applying
D. D. and it needed only few ap-
nlications to heal her neck. l also use
D. D. D. after shaving with beneficial
results"
AS far as we have seen. the cures
with oil of wintergreen as used in
D. D. D. Prescription are permanent
cures. And we certainly do know
that the instant D. d. D. Prescription
is applied to the skin, the itch is re-
lieved. A few drops takes the itch
away at once, cooling and refreshing
the skin.

HAYES RELEASED
BY PAYING $40
Stranger Who Was Arrested Last
Evening For Carrying Loaded
Revolver.

James Hayes, arrested last evening
for carrying concealed weapons and at
first suspected of possibly knowing
something about the hotel hold-up,
satisfied the officers that he was in no
way connected with the most sensa-
tional criminal chapter In Keokuk's
history.
He was up in the Superior court
his morning and told straight for
yard story. He was fined $50 and
costs for carrying concealed weapons
after pleading guilty, but sentence was
suspended upon payment of $40 which
ne gladly turned over and promised
to never get in such a fix again.
Hayes is a travelling sign painter
snd also member of the machinist's
union. His home is in Brooklyn, N.
y, and he has been knocking around
the country painting signs, having a
rood deal of talent.
He bought the revolper from a man
n Quincy yesterday for seventy-five
cents and then went to Canton. He
] net Marshal Cooksey there and came
% keokuk upon his recommendation
that ae could find work at painting
signs on windows. Last evening he
/ was arrested.
Hayes has chance to escape from
iail last night with Stone, but would
not go. Stone told him to come along
because no matter whether he was
/ guilty or not, the authorities would
send him over the read, but Hayes
thought 1t wiser to stay in jail than
try to climb out through the skylight
and maybe get shot on the wing.
