impossible for Reds To Win.

The hoodoo seems to follow the Reds. The Blues won out in the contest for new members for the Baptist Young Peoples union. A game of ball was played a week ago in which the Blues were victors, and yesterday afternoon another game was played with the same result, the score being to 1 in favor of the Blues.
 The game yesterday was one of the fastest seen on the local diamond this season, three double plays having been pulled off by the Blues, and as both teams were full of ginger, the game was a most interesting one.
 The following were the line-ups:
 Blues-Craig, catcher; Milton, pitcher; Randle first base; Edmundson, second base; Griffincamp, third base McEniry, shortstop; Lefkovits, left f1eld Morton, center field; Gillespie, right field.
 Reds-Bumgardner, catcher; Reddish, pitcher; Edmundson Gacey) first base; Clay. second base; Lanier. third base; Rurngardner, shortstop: Kennedy, left held; Parson, center field; Ross, right felc.

sometime later, her little foot got sore between the toes. Being afraid it was salt rheum, I spoke to our doctor. He gave me a powder which dried it up, but soon after it broke out behind her ears. They cracked half way ground and the humor spread up on to her head until, on several occasions, it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like scald, very red with sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every year, 1 think it was toward the spring. l always bathed it with warm water and Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out was when she was six years old. It became so bad that I was discouraged. Then l procured bottle of Cuticura Resol- vent which soon cleared 1t out of her blood. continued the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment with the Resolvent until she was perfectly we'll. She is now about eight years old and has never been troubled in the last two years. We also find Cuticura Resolvent good spring medicine and we are just giving the children Cuticura Resolvent Pills as tonic. We do not think any one can praise Cuticura Remedies too highly. Mrs. M. A.

IRON ORDER FOR

City Will Have No Trouble, Appar- ently, In Acquiring Waterworks Plant-Second Primary For
 Mayor Today.

Gadsden, July 24.-(special.)-The Ala bama Consolidated Coal and Iron com pany at it's Gadsden furnace has just completed a special order for iron for the United States government. The oroer was for 20 carloads and was turned out within ten days after the specifications were received. The order was placed by Cant H. B. Ferguson of the United States engineers in the state and who expressed great satisfaction at the phehomenaly nrompt delivery The iron was shipped to Panama, where it will be used in the canal construction.
 Since the favorable outcome Of the recent election on the proposition of rals- ing the tax rate to guarantee the interest on the waterworks bonds there are many inouiries for the bonds, although before there were none who wanted to buy them. It is thought by the mayor that he will be able to place the bonds satisfactorily within a few weeks and proceed at once to carry out the wishes of the people to own and operate a city water system.
 Each of the two mayoralty candidates who are to try their strength in tomor- rows primary and their friends are mak- ing the effort of their lives to win. If the weather is favorable there will prob- ably be a heavier vote than that cast in the first primary.

The Useful Hen.

Country constables who make a.
living arresting speeding automobiles
wouldn't have half so much trouble
stopping the scorchers if they used a
little ingenuity" says one of the of
tenders. Chains across the road and
moving vans blocking the highway are
all right to accomplish the purpose,
but they're cumbersome. My idea for
causing prompt slow-up is to scatter
a lot of grain in road and turn a lot
of hens loose. They would block the
road all right, and if there's one thing
that will make chauffeur slow up it's
a hen. Dogs are bad enough, but a
hen always runs the wrong way, and
if the machine is going at any speed
usually ends up under the wheels. Hit
ting a hen will sometimes throw the
front wheels out of line and cause the
car to swerye, so drivers almost inya-
riably slow up and give poultry a
chance to get out of the way. A hen
speed trap is a great idea, to my way
of thinking, and, of course, if one of
the birds were killed the cost could
easily be added to the drivers fine"

TREASURE PROTECTED BY MUD.
Effort to Be Made to Reach Stored
Riches in India.

A good story of hidden treasure
comes from India on the authority of
the late tutor to the heir apparent of
Bhopal
In the hills of Amarkantak, in the
central provinces, close to the sources
of the Narbada and the Son, there
stands an old deserted fort called Ran
Bakalli, wherein, so tradition says, are
collected vast stores of treasure and
jewels formerly the property of the
Hindu rajahs of the country, but for
ages no one has been able to gain ac-
cess to the fort because it is sur
rounded by miles of impossible mud.
The late Sir Richard Temple when
| lieutenant governor of Bengal tried to
reach it, but his elephant stuck deep
in the mire and he was forced to aban-
| don the quest, 1t is now suggested
that a syndicate should be formed to
exploit this treasure house by means
| of balloons, and a Calcutta capitalist
has promised large subscription to-
ward the enterprise.
The question which puzzles most
people is how this ocean of mud ever
came to invest the fort An effort
will be made to enlist the cooperation
of the maharajah of Rewa, the ruler
of the district, who is said TO be an en-.
lightened prince, though how it comes
that he has not already taken steps
to solve the mystery is not stated

FISH Is HONEST BORROWER,
Huge Pickerel Returns $40 with SO
Cents Interest.

st. Paul. Minn.-Nathan Rosenstein
of st. Paul last August went fishing
in the beautiful Lake Bemidji Rosen-
stein caught seven sunfish and a
perch, and was about to quit, when
an enormous pickerel made a furious
dash at his bait.
The suddenness of the Strike"
startled the man, and he jerked his
pole, which caught in the flap of his
coat pocket. A ten-dollar gold piece
slipped out of the pocket and rolled
toward the gunwale. Rosenstein
dropped the pole and grabbed for the
coin, but it slid overheard. Fascinated
by the sight, Rosenstein could but sit
and watch. The big pickerel, wrench
ing himself free from the hook, and
attracted by the shining coin, swung
under the boat. The great jaws
opened, and the coin disappeared be-
fore Rosenstein's very eyes.
Only few days ago Rosenstein
was again on Lake Bemidji and made
fairly good days catch. Trolling
back toward the dock in the evening,
he felt a strike, and after a furious
tenminute battle landed an enormous
pickerel. On splitting the big pickerel,
he found the ten-dollar gold piece lost
last fall.
He poked around with the knife and
uncovered So cents in small silver
coins and pennies. 1t was interest at
the legal rate on the lost ten-dollar
gold piece.

Guarding the Baby from Flies.

Although babies seem perfectly in
different to the swarms of flies which
light on them their presence is mat
ter that should not be regarded light
ly by the mother. For flies, as has
been proved, are one of the greatest
sources of contagion and too much
care cannot be taken to prevent them
from lighting on anything which the
baby is likely to take in his mouth.
AS precaution against this pest the
baby should be kept scrupulously
clean. Particularly should his mouth
be washed often, for the old milk acts
as special lure to the fly. While the
child is sleeping mosquito netting
should be hung over his bed and
should be pulled down so far that it
completely covers the side and mat
tress. During playtime an excellent
idea is to suspend some mosquito bar
from the center of the room where the
baby is placed so as to create sort of
little cage for him.
If by any chance a fly should light
on the rubber nipple of his bottle 1t
should not be replaced in his mouth
before thoroughly washing in = solu'
