TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
~
Entirely Cured by cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as IL
they were going to fall off, so We tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and In two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

TRADE THAT WAS CALLED OFF.
Minister'S Really Good Reason for Not
Purchasing Horse.

II saw an instance recently" re-
marked Senator Carter Of Montana,
"of one way to get along with Indians
when 1t comes to a horse deal. One
of the missionaries who makes occa-
sional excursions into the Crow coun-
try by way of getting on friendly
terms with the tribe, commissioned
two of the men to get him swift,
strong and presentable riding horse,
and he stipulated that he would pay a
hundred dollars for the kind of horse
described. The braves soon appeared
with a horse, swift, strong and a
splendid looking animal, but, alas! so
vicious that he had to be dubbed al
most to insensibility before he would
be saddled. Then the Indians blind
folded him to get on the bride.
"The missionary looked on, anything,
but edited by the conduct of the
braves and fierce temper of the horse.
Still, the Indians insisted that they
had brought the horse described and
they demanded the hundred. The mis-
sionary explained that though the
horse could go like the wind, the rider
ran the risk of having his neck broken
before he dismounted. More than that
the missionary was not strong enough
to beat the horse as the Indians had
Besides, he finished tearfully, How
can l blindfoId the horse whenever |
want to mount?' The Indians replied
that all he had to do was to take on
his shirt and tie it over the horses
head But conceive said the man OF
God, how I would look being COM
PEELED to take off my shirt every time
I got on the horse. Why, you Indians
know that go among whites as well
as Indians, and women as well as
men. 1t would cover me with shame
to pull off my shirt that way. can
not buy this horse The Crows
thought it over and finally gave up on
the ground that it would not be seem
ly for the preacher to have to take OF
his garments promiscuously, so the
deal was off amicably."

r7S the season Of shooting the
time to ask the sportsman to
stay his hand? The Sep
E tember fields and woodlands
are thronged with men bent
GSy2 on killing. 'Tt is well
enough" they say; there are plenty
of birds, and those that are left will
nest next year."
1t is true that In one sense there
are plenty of birds, plenty yet for a
fair days sport, but what of the past
and the future? 1t Is only the older
sportsmen who can Judge of numbers
by comparison. The graybeard who
goes afield to-day misses the quail
covey multitudes of his youth. The
stripping sportsman finds four coveys
in day, deals out death in each and
in the absence of experience, repeats:
There are plenty of birds"
The game birds of the United States
are disappearing. They are going into
the pot. The epicure cats. has his
hour Of delight, and If the growing
scarcity of the game finally be forced
upon him, orders another bird and
says: Let posterity eat beef"
Consider the woodcock, one Of the
noblest if not the noblest Of our game
birds. 1t is the table delicacy par ex-
cellence, and its shot-riddled body is
worth dollar to the. pot hunter. Is
not this enough in itself to show why
the woodcock is vanishing? If this
be not enough let it be known that for
some inscrutable reason this bird, v0l-
liable from the economic standpoint of
food supply, is more poorly protected
by law throughout the country than

lists that the woodcock nests In March.
This apparently was enough for the
lawmakers, and they at once took the
woodcock out of the class in which
they placed other game birds and said
that if it nested in March the young
Of the year must be big enough for
broiling by July 4. Therefore in many
states it Is made legal to shoot wood
cock in the early summer. The wood
cock rarely nests in March north Of the
Mason and Dixon line. II the wealth
er conditions be unfavorable the birds
will nest late. The young are not al
ways able to take care of themselves
by July 4. Assassination is not too
strong word-for a believer in pro-
lection at least-to use In characteriz-
ing the summer shooting of the wood
cock. Happily some few of the states
Times-promoter., 1908-06-12

have advanced the date of the opening
Of the shooting season until August.
What they, should do is to prohibit
both the shooting and the sale Of the
birds for at least four years. Then
there might be some chance that the
coverts of the future would hold their
quota of the noble quarry.
do not wish to dismiss this wood
cock subject without quoting from
an article written by Arthur T. Wayne
for the AUX, the organ Of the Amer
ican Ornithologists' union. 1t tells In
few words some of the things with
which the woodcock have to contend
in their losing fight for life. Mr..
Wayne writes of the effect on the birds
of cold wave which struck the coast
of South Carolina. He says: "The
woodcock arrived in countless thou
sands. Prior to their arriva- / had
seen but two birds the entire winter.
Tens Of thousands were killed by
would-be sportsmen. and thousands
were frozen to death. The great ma
jority were SO emaciated that they
were practically nothing but feathers.
One man killed 200 pairs in a few
hours. Late Tuesday afternoon I cas-
lily caught several of the birds on the
snow and put them into thawed spot
on the edge of swift running stream
in order that they should not perish,
but upon going to the place the next
morning saw one frozen. It will be
many years before this fine bird can
re-establish itself even under the most
favorable conditions"
The wood duck is our summer duck.
1t nests in hollow trees along the
streams in nearly every state east of
the Mississippi river. It is the most
beautiful OF the duck tribe. It lacks
the shyness Of the rest Of the family
and frequently builds its nest near our
houses. Man repays its friendliness
with charges of shot. The fact that
the wood duck breeds as 1t does within

sands every year for the markets, but
their fecundity is such that when they
have nearly entirely disappeared their
ranks may be recruited rapidly by the
prohibition oe their shooting for a year
or two.
1t may not be out of place to end
this plea for the game birds by stat
ing a simple fact. In the far west
they have been killing off the sage
grouse rapidly. The grouse are near
IL all gone, and now the farmers and
ranchmen don't know what to do with
the grasshoppers which formed the
birds favorite food.
Not much searching is necessary to
find the moral in this bit O. fact from
the far west.

any Of the other game birds which
from their fecundity and from their
habits Of life stand less in need Of the
guard Of the law.
The woodcock (philohela minor) un-
less something be done, and done
quickly, will soon be classed with the
extinct aux and the "proverbially ex-
tinct" dodo. This is no idle statement
made by protectionist from princi.
pie for the sake Of stopping the sport
Of the multitude. The plea for the pro-
lection of the woodcock, and the state
ment that unless protected quickly
and adequately it will soon be a bird
Of the past, have the sanction of the
United States government. DR.. A. K.
Fisher, an ornithologist of the biologi-
gal survey, recently Investigated the
reasons for the decrease in the num-
Der Of twoodcock and wood duck-an-
-spther bird that is rapidly vanishing
and on ending his work said: "Un-
tess strong protective measures are
soon adopted the woodcock and wood
duck, two popular and valuable game
birds, will become extinct-the wood
cock absolutely, the wood duck over
:, q large part of its range"
The woodcock Is migratory bird.
/. 1t winters in the southern states and
comes to the north In summer, to rear
| its young. Some Of the birds, how
ever, 1t must be said, are practically
resident throughout the year in some To-
calities Of the south.
Disdaining the wanderers life, they
build their homes in neighborhoods to
which they cling throughout their
short lives. In winter the woodcock is
In the southern states. 1t Is sold for
, food in every winter resort In the
southland, and 1t is shipped northward
to supply the winter markets of the
great cities
Harassed all winter through with
dog and gun, the woodcocK takes up its
northern flight early in the spring, pos
sibly hoping that far away it may get
rest from persecution. 1t is an idle
hope. Though there are laws in many
oI the northern states which prohibit
the spring shooting of woodcock, the
birds are killed in great numbers by
men who 60 out ostensibly to hunt
snipe and Dlover, which the wisdom"
u the law makers allows to be killed
1t time when they most need protec-
ton. The woodeock often nests early,
so early that spring foods frequently
drown out its low lying habitation.
The bird is not persevering. It's heart
fails 1t In the face of difficulties. Un-
like the quail, which is bound to raise
a brood IF it takes all summer" 1t
frequently will make no attempt at
second nesting after the first has
proved failure. This fact In itself
wars against rapid increase In the
ranks of the birds.

northern states seem to have read
