PRESCRIBED cUTICURA
After Other Treatment FaIed-RaW
Eczema on Baby's Face Had
Lasted Three Months-At Last
Doctor Found Cure.

"Our baby boy broke out with &c.
zema on his face when one month old.
One place on the side of his face the
size of nickel was raw like beefsteak
for three months, and he would cry
out when bathed the parts that were
sore and broken out. I gave him
three months treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time the
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was
well and his face was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and a
half old and no eczema has reappeared.

bitter hatred toward Strathgate, he
did not intend to throw his life away
on that account. He had other things
to do, one of which was to chase Ellen
wherever she went and find out the
truth. He did not believe Strathgate's
extravagant assertions about the earl's
arrangement to meet Lady Ellen on
the ship, but there was possibility
of truth in it and that at least kept
him from entire confidence in his wife.
AS for Strathgate, he was not feel
ing any too happy either He had
risked everything, got himself en-
broiled with n man of Darlington S
determined character, had upon him
all the odium of having run away with
another mans wife, and yet he had
lost the wife!
His sen>uous admiration OF Lady
Ellen was turned to something like
hate. He did not want to throw away
any points in the game either, and he
made up his mind to kill Darlington
if it was in his power, and to wreak
such vengeance upon Lady Ellen as
would cause her to remember TO the
very last hour OF her life the time
in which she flouted him.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, ard its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

SKIM MILK FOR CALVES,
That Right from the Separator Is Be-
lieved to Be Best

1t is sometimes said that sweet skim
milk fed directly from the hand of
the separator has caused the death
of calves and young pigs, but | know
of no specific case in which this is
true, says writer in Farmers Voice,
or experiments which Indicate that
sour skim milk gives better results
than sweet; in fact, the evidence is
very largely in favor of sweet skim
milk
The skim milk directly from the
separator has more or less air in it,
as may be seen by the foam on the top
of it. l have fed this milk within
three or four minutes after separat-
ing to- young calves, and never had
any trouble which might in any way
be traced to the skim milk This
would not prove, however, that allow
ing young calf or pig to overload it's
stomach with new milk more or less
mixed with air would not prove injuri-
Gus, though | question very seriously
whether this cause alone would pro-
duce death. In my opinion if skim
milk is allowed to stand ten minutes
or so after separating, the light foam
from the top removed and only a mod
crate amount of the fresh warm milk
allowed each animal, no injurious re-
suits are likely to occur.
Many farmers think that because
the fat has been removed, a calf must
be given all the skim milk it can
drink, and many calves suffer from too
much skim milk; also from feeding
cold skim milk and from sour skim
milk, more especially If it is sweet
one day and sour another.
While satisfactory results are re-
ported from feeding skim milk, /
recommend the use of sweet, still
warm from the separator.

We left Sir Charles Seton hard and
fast in his boat on the shoal Sir
Charles had nothing to do but study
the ocean and observe that which
transpired upon it, for few moments
of hard work convinced worthy Master
whitley that only the rising tide
would float his vessel. Sir Charles
saw the whole drama enacted before
him. He saw Ellen run down the
Flying Star; he saw that vessels way
checked; he could see Deborah fol-
lowed by Ellen Chamber aboard. He
marked the other two boats chasing
down the channel and made shrewd
guess that one carried Darlington and
the other Strathgate. He saw the
collision, although of course he was
too far away to know who was re.
sponsible or what was happening. He
even saw the smoke from the two pis-
tolls which were discharged by the
belligerents on the boat and after a
time detected the report family, but
other than that he kuew nothing.
1t was some time before the rising
tide coupled with their own tremen-

was not without a certain decision of
character Il swear to God there ain't

this quarrel, but this boats mine and

Lord Darlington, by givin' me that
pistol. And you, sir" turning to
tStrathgate, will do the like. When
you get ashore I've naught to say
rabout your actions, but here"
He held out his hand imperiously
lfor Lord Carrington's pistol and mo-
toned Cooper to take that of Lord
.Strathgate.
The boat had shot up into the
wind and lay idly rocking, practically
drifting. Cooper's cutter had been
shaken oi and was a floating wreck
some distance away. Cooper had a
distinct interest in the quarrel, for he
muttered:
You're right, Haight, there can't be
no shootin' here. Yonder gentleman
might get bullet in his in'ards and
then who'd pay me for my sunken
boat?"
Strathgate interrupted with laugh,
one of those irritating laughs that
drove Darlington nearly frantic:
"Did you arrange all this with the
captain of your boat, Carrlngton?"
queried Strathgate. SIS this a bit of
Oravado, with the appearance of this
worthy sailor at the proper mo-
ment?"
Curse you!" cried Darlington, leap
ing up to windward, Come up to
windward with you"
He leveled his pistol full at Strath-
gate, having sprung clear of the hud-
die of men who happened to be to
leeward Strathgate had followed his
movements and two shots rang out ST
simultaneously. Quick as had been the
rush of the two men, however the
sailors had followed suit. Haight
threw himself upon Darlington and
bore him back against the low rail,
nearly throwing him overheard, while
Cooper struck Strathgate's arm such
violent blow as he pulled the trig-
ger that his pistol was hurled back
wards and fell into the sea.
Haight was the first to recover him
self.

indicated he had cpne to a final de-
cision, you've had it out now and

"Oh, you have my word, too" said

during the hours that elapsed before
he and Darlington were landed at the
