Cure to Cuticura.

Several months ago, my little boy
began to break out with itching sores.
I doctored him, but as soon as I got
them healed up in one place they
would break out in another. was
almost in despair. 1 could not get
anything that would help him. Then
I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, and after using them
three times, the sores commenced to
heal. He is now well, and not a scar
is left on his body. They have never
returned nor left him with bad blood,
as one would think. Cuticura Rene
dies are the best I have ever tried,
and shall highly recommend them to
any one who is suffering likewise.

Jack Horner Pie.

Cover your bread riser pan with
pink crepe paper. 1t can be pasted or
tied on. Then put little present for
each child in it which is tied with mar
row ribbon long enough to let a piece
hang on outside of pie. Put pie in
the center of table and then, when
lunch is over, let each child pull a
ribbon and receive the gift. This
makes pretty center piece, and the
children enjoy it. Different color rib
bons may be used, one for boys and
one for girls.

A Coward of Conscience.

Tired and dusty, the excursion was
returning from the bank holiday trip,
and Simkins, little bald man with
big ears, overcome with his day Of
happiness, dropped off to sleep. In
the hat-rack above, another passen.
ger had deposited a ferocious crab
in bucket, and when Simkins went
to sleep the crab woke up, and finding
things dull In the bucket, started ex.
ploring. BY careful navigation Mr..
Crab reached the edge of the rack, but
the next moment down it fell, alight-
ing on Simkins' shoulder. Not feeling
quite safe it grabbed the voluminous
ear of simpkins to steady itself, and
the passengers held their breath, and
waited for developments. But Sim.
kins only shook his head slightly.
Let go, Eliza" he murmured. 81

SPAIN WILL
GROW TREES
Which viii Be Ready for Peo-
pies Use at An
Early Age.

WASHINGTON, D., c., June 70
A suggestion by Spanish manufactur-
ers that Spain plant forests for pulp
wood and follow Italy's example BY
planting quick growing species has
been reported to this government by
Consul General Ridgely. of barcelona
Spain is awakening to the necessity OF
growing her own timber. Nearly all
civilized countries are moving In that
direction because It is coming TO be
understood that countries which do not
grow their own timber must go with
out 1t for few decades.
II has been customary to cite Spain
and China as examples of the dis
tressing results which follow forest
destruction. Spain is as large as
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia and North
Carolina, but its forests have only
thrce-fourths the extent of West vir-
ginta's alone. and much of them are
scrub thickets of a very poor kind,
The country's population Is beliey-
cd not to exceed one-third OF what It
once was or what 1t might be again.
Much OF the denuded land Is abso-
lutely barren, with the red rock laid
bare where agriculture once flourish
cd. Hills, whose rounded forms indi
cate they once supported forests, are
bald and dry now and without inhab-
itants. In some localities, peasants.
with hammers, pulverize rocks and
make little patches of soil for gar
dens.
At the present time SPANS most
valuable forest product is cork. The
annual cut is 10000 tons, but the
cork forests are going, as other for
ests went, and for the same reason
want Of care. Enterprising Span
iards are just now trying to supply
their country with homemade paper
but pulp-wood Is not to be had ex-
cept by importing It. The home cut
is only $500 tons year-about what
single American pulp company
would use in about three days.
Foresters say that there is no rea-
son why Spain might not do what
France, her next neighbor on the
north, has done, cover her barren
places. with forests. restore the soil.
abate floods. mitigate droughts, pro
vide employment for many. and fur
nish raw material for manufactur-
les.

A oispeneer Of Smiles.

Her mother said: "Oh, dear! Isn't
that awful? What will people think 2"
but the people themselves seemed to
think 1t about the prettiest incident
they had met that day.
She was very little girl, white
frocked, pink ribboned, brown curled.
With her mother she left the subway
train at the Grand Central station. The
usual confusion prevailed. Timid trav-
elers grabbed suit cases and bundles
and exclaimed, "Oh, do we change
here?" Trainmen on the platform
shouted out directions for local and
express trains and the guards of that
particular car adjured the passengers
frequently and vehemently to "Step
lively" and to Watch the step" Then
all of sudden there was lull in the
uproar The little girl was leaving
the car. She stopped at the door, look
ed back and waved her hand.
"Goodby, everybody" she said.
The words carried to the far end of
