TORTURED six MONTHS
BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by C%uticura.

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 if
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby new 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 we'll; in n week the sores were
gone and in two months he had a clear
face. Now he is two years and has

Heavenly CITY.

Berlin is said to be the quietest city
in Europe. Railway engines are not
allowed to blow their whistles within
the city limits. There is no loud bawl-
ing Of hucksters, and a man whose
wagon gearing is loose and rafting is
subject to a fine. The courts have a
large discretion as to fines for noise
making. Strangest of all, piano play
ing is regulated in Berlin. Before a
certain hour in the day, and after q
certain hour in the night the piano
must be silent in that musical city.
Even during the playing hours a fine
is imposed for mere pounding on the
piano.

High License in San Francisco.

N.Y. W. val
San Francisco, which recently raised
the license fee from $84 per year to
$500, is now putting forth an effort to
increase the city's share in the sa-
looms returns to 81, 1000 per year. The
argument in favor Of it is the city's
urgent need Of money, specially for
police protection. 1t is a notable fact
that when the saloons YER closed
after the earthquake the need for po-
lice protection sank to almost nothing,
and that quiet and good order and
safety reigned everywhere. The evil
dences of police records everywhere
point conclusively to the saloon a. a
fruitful source of crime and the cause
of extra expenditure for police protec-
ton. San Francisco's previous expert
ence has amply demonstrated the fact
that the most effective method Of
safeguarding the public interest in re-
gard to the prevention OF crime lies
in the suppression of the entire traffic.

THE STORY.

r. HE king had seer people die be-
i fore, but never had he beheld such
a deathbed as that. He had stood by
the couch of his father, Jehoahaz, as
he had passed from this life to the
great beyond. He had seen that help
less, haunted look in the deep-set eyes
over which the misty film of death
was gradually creeping. He had
heard the words of regret over the
life lived and those of fear in the face
of impending death. There was moth
ing of hope or comfort there. Only
darkness and despair.
But how different was the deathbed
of the prophet Elisha. Word had
come n day all unexpected and sud
den that the aged prophet was sick,
and the king had gone thither. Little
contact had he had with the prophet
during his life. He had treated him
with Indifference and disdain, con-
tent to live his life of wicked pleas
ure, and unmindful of the rebukes and
e%ntreaties of this aged servant of God.
To be sure he was familiar with all
the wonderful history of Elisha's sery-
ices to Israel, of how time and time
again, when famine and wal menaced
the life Of the nation, the prophet had
interposed in the name of his God and
brought deliverance. But free from
any serious troubles in his own king.

about, King Joash had seen no occa-

prophet.

Syrian hosts had threatened to de-
stroy the nation, and well he remem-
bered how in the strength of the prom
Use of the prophet his father had gone
out and won a ~hard-earned victory
over the forces of the king CT Syria.
But no such dangers had threatened
him to drive him to the prophet, and
so he had, as we have said, treated the
prophet with Indifference and dis
dain.
But when the messenger had come
saying that the prophet Elisha was
dying and that he wished to see him,
there swept owe him a realization of
what the nation would lose with the
passing away of this man of God. He
had had a contempt for his religion,
but not for the stirring part he had
played in the history of the nation
from before his grandfather Jehu's
time down to the present. The story
or how the prophet Elisha had sent
the word and the amounting oil which
had encouraged Jehu to seize the king
dom from the house of Ahab had been
told him over and over again by his
grandfather as he had stood at his knee

knock at the door. After reading a
note which had been handed in, the
principal announced that one of the
teachers would be unable to be at
school for several days, owing to a

SERMONETTE

Last days come to all, but to
none do they bring such COM
fort and sweetness as to the n
J who has walked with God.
Last days are not necessar-
lily f%ruitless days, for even from
a sick bed the servant Of God
may rsove the mouthpiece of
God speaking words of admoni-
ton and prophecy.
Physical pain and the ebbing
of life's current cannot prevent
the true child of God from
rounding out his mission in
life.
During the long years of serv-
ice as prophet in Israel Elisha
had cen a steady and sure de-
cline in the religious and moral
tone of the people, and he knew
of the ultimate national calam-
ity which was to come with the
scattering of the people through
all the nations about, but not
Withstanding all this he saw the
final triumph of God and his
Righteousness; he realized that
though men failed, God would
not; he understood the eternal
truth that mans wickedness
might delay, but could not
thwart the Divine will, thus was
he able during those dark days
OF spiritual decline to keep
cheerful and hopeful. And it is
|, this realization on the part of
the servant of God of the uIti-
|, mate triumph of the Divine will
and purpose in the world which
makes of them optlmists instead
of pessimists.
