Cure to Cuticura.

Several months ago. my little boy

I doctored him, but as soon as | 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
l began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, and after using them
three times. the sores commenced to
heal. He is now we'll. and not a scar
is left on his body. They have never
returned nor left him with bad blood.

WARRINGTON A CENTURY HENCE
Writer Points Out Necessity Of Build
ing for the Future.

A communication to the Washington
Star says: .
Your editorial on government build
in principle. They need a whole Mock.
But allow me to suggest that half a
loaf is better than no loaf or only
scattered crumbs. The real trouble is
that no plan is adopted and moves are
made according to the spur of the mo-
ment, involving the future, sometimes
disastrously. We have all seen the
growth of this country in the last 20
years; let's close our eyes and dream
a vision of a century hence, with this
plan worked out gradually: The
White House remains as it is, with a
court of honor made Of the discarded
columns of the treasury; on the west,
the wal department is in what is now
the state, war and navy; it has ell
bowed out the navy, which has taken
refuge in the Mills building, which has
grown to the whole block of the ave-
nue. and F. Between them the Winder
building is there to provide annexes
as they are needed. The old Corcoran
Gallery block has become the state,
with appropriate reception rooms for
greeting the whole diplomatic corps.
The Bureau of American Republics has
become one of it's subdivisions. JUS
tice is in the vacant lot opposite the
treasury, taking in the Arlington Fire
Insurance and Riggs bank. Belasco
theater Is the home of the supreme
court, court of claims, etc. The treas
ury has its auditing Offices in the block
Of the Hotel Regent and Chase's. The
hall of records fills the other end Of
the block. Commerce and labor has
a fine home on the avenue beyond the
postoffice and district buildings. Agri-
culture has also a fine home e the
botanical gardens, following the south
side rebuilding of the venue. Is not
that a beautiful vision? 1t can be
realized some day if we recollect that
we are building for our children's chill
dren. Circumstances alter, and homes
that are now considered landmarks
may be willingly given up by future
hSiIo, IL may lOS VI HloNO, IN
as a last resort there is always official
appropriation. Let us see only the
plan and ignore the obstacles; pursue
the plan p~ersistently, gaining ground
constantly as events occur with the
same unalterable purpose, and Wash
ington will become the finest capital
In the world. Paris and Lonoon have
had to struggle against historical land
marks of ages ago-relics of the mid
die ages that had to be preserved as
heirlooms of a past period, but that
taxed ingenuity and talent to their ut
most to improve around them. Len
FAINT was a genius who started and
created Washington out of magnificent
distances. We have now a good sue
cessor to him In Col. Bromwell. May
he remain long in charge of district
improvements.

ASTONlsHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well with Change %
Food.

A great scientist has said we can put
off "old age" if we can only nourlsh the
body properly.
To do this the right kind of food, OF
course, is necessary. The body manu-
features poisons in the stomach and
intestines from certain kinds of food
stuffs and unless sufficient of the right
kind Is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.
my grandmother, II years DID,"
writes a N. Y. lady, "had been an in
valid for IS years from what was
called consumption of the stomach and
bowels. The doctor had given her up
to die.
Il saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that I persuaded Grandmother to try
it. She could not keep anything on her
stomach for more than a few minutes.
"She began Grape-Nuts with only q
her and as she could retain it, she took
a little more until she could take all OF
4 ~teaspoonfuls at a meal.
'Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old and w
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.

stead Of dying she got we'll, and with.

TORNADO LEFT THE MORTGAGE.

Everything Else, However, on the

'Yes, l passed through the Louisi-

erner In reply to the question. I'm
fact, I may say 1t was my own tornado
"a little n got up for my own per-
sonal delectation."
How do you mean?" was asked.
why, it began and ended on my
own plantation. There was the whole
state Of Louisiana for to prance
around in, but 1t paid its attentions
to me alone. The planter to the west
of me didn't know that anything was
happening"
"And about the damage?"
well, it could have been worse.
The thing came like a cannon ball,
and before ! could whoop twice down
went a hundred acres of standing
timber, two barns. three sheds and my
dwelling house, together with four
miles OF fencing"
But how could It have been
worse?"
"Oh, it might have swept the $4,000
mortgage of the property, but that
was left rue to build upon again!"

Color Tone OF Washinoton.

The color tone of the city Of Wash
ington is green-a bright, new green
in June and gradually darkening as the
leaves of the trees mature. There are
nearly half a million ornamental trees
and numerous extensive parks in the
Capital city, which accounts for it's
color tone. From above the eye looks
down on a vast sea of green, along the
southern extremity of which winds a
silvery band, the Potomac. To the
east q white island dots the waving
of green, and q little beyond an
island of g~listening gold shimmers in
the sunlight. The first is the zap
itol, the second the library OF n
gress. A brilliant white dot in the
west, surrounded by specks Of yellow
and red, marks the White House and

ENGLISH SPARROW CLUB.
its Mission rs to Rid the Country OF
the Pest,


In Essex, England, the Elsenham
Sparrow club hourishes. 1t holds a
meeting and dinner cnce a yea at
which time the members give an &C
count of their efforts toward keeping
down the sparrow pest. Its president.
Walter Gilbey, describes it's work as
follows:
All the farmers and most of those
who have gardens in the parish,
which covers 1880 acres, and some
tenants of neighboring farms belong
to the club, which was established
seventeen years ago. The rules are
very simple: Each member under
takes to kill one sparrow for each
acre of his holding between Septem-
Der / and May l, and sends the heads
to the local i%nnkeeper, who keeps q
record of them. If the members tally
falls short of the total he ought to
send he is fined Id. for each head
lacking, the money going to a fund
which is spent in refreshments at the
annual supper Of the club held at the
inn. The sum raised by fines, how
ever, is, l am informed. practically
nil.
1.-TWO sparrows an acre were killed
annually during the first two or three
years of the clubs existence, and tho
average number Of heads now sent
in is about 5000 q year. In addition
the members kill a large number Of
young sparrows during the breeding
but Of these no record Is
kept"

Az He Read the sion.

Two little boys the other day, from
a distant city, on a visit to the capital
of the nation with their parents, sat on
the front steps of the house where
they were visiting, absorbed in the
passing traffic. A smart touring car
buzzed into view and sped on.
That's a fine automobeel," observed
one little urchin.
Its a laundry wagon, too" his
brother commented, with conviction.
"Tain't neither. What makes you
think that?"

CHAPTER Xxx.
q. Chloe le Excited.

The truth leaked out slowly in st.
Chloe that two men had not returned
to their lodgings the previous night;
but, since their respective land ladies
did not appear to attach much impor-
lance to the circumstances, no par
ticular interest was q stranger and
foreigner, a man who made no friends
and awoke no affection, and II he
were never heard Of again no n
would trouble very much.
Grayton everybody loved. But,
since he was at everybody's beck and
call, and always ready to watch
through the night by the sick or dy-
ing, no alarm was felt at his non-ap-
pearance at bedtime.
Hell turn up sometime" Mrs.
Tamblyn said to herself. Likely as
not he's gone out in n of the fish,
Ing boats; or maybe some farmers
iii t'other side Of the parish. He'll
become ravenous by dinner time"
But when dinner time came and
passed, and her ledger had not re-
turned, Mrs. Tamblyn began to reel a
little anxious. All the fishing boats
had returned, but none Of the fisher
had seen the citrate, neither had
any one heard OF anybody being seri-
ously Ill In the parish.
when she had cleared away the din
nor things she threw q shawl over
her head and shoulders and walked

was dimly outlined in the darknesh.
Instantly the truth flashed across his
mind; the curate had followed him.
He had not gone to st. Chloe at all,
consequently he had not told Blight
the policeman.
He drew a long breath and waited,
and In that moment a dark and sim
lister purpose took possession OF him.
He was not naturally an e~villy-dis-
posed man. Under ordinary circum-
stances no such thought as now domi-
mated his brain would have gained adj
mittance. But the chance of his life
was at stake. This man was coming
between him and fortune, and he had
no right to come. 1t was no affair Of
his. He was meddling in a matter
that was entirely outside his province.
IL he chose to interfere In other peo-
pies affairs he would nave to take
the consequences.
Nevins put his hand into his hip
pocket and drew out a ~long-bladed
knife. He had no wish 70 use il, but
he was in a mood that might lead to
anything.
The shadowy figure stood quite still
a few yards away. Nevins was trem-
bling in every limb with excitement.
For several moments no word was
spoken. Grayton held his breath and
waited, and / ma vague way wondered
what the upshot of the adventure
would be.
He was conscious that he had
played his part clumsiry. He ought
to have taken somebody into his con-
fidence. 1t was bad g~eneralship to
have no line OF communication. I'm
fortunately, from his point of view,
events had happened SO rapidly that
he had been unable to keep pace with
them. He had been called upon to
act before he had had time to think.
Now he had reached a point beyond
which he could not see.
"Who are your" Nevins demanded,
suddenly and savagely.
"Why ask" Grayton answered,
quietly. do you think I would let
you go out of my sight?"
"Then you mean to follow me-"
II do"

strides and came close up to his ad-
versary.
you are a meddling fool" he
Kissed, angrily. what I do is no
concern of yours"
There you are mistaken" Grayton
replied. "You have in your possess
sion valuable property that Ices not
belong to you. You are a thief, and
shall follow you until l am able to
| give you into custody"
You had better think twice." New
ms growled. Il am not in the mood
to be thwarted."
Neither am l." Grayton replied,
"and think you will find that in any
feat Of endurance l am your match.
Then you will not turn back?'
Not unless you give me that box.
And I'm not sure I'll turn back even
then"
You mean to track me DOWN."
Il dol"
"Then, by heaven But ne did
not wait to complete the sentence.
| Swift as a panther he sprang on
| Grayton. For a moment q knife
cleaned close to the curate's eyes,
and he attempted to spring aside; but
he was too late.
The blow fell with tho swiftness OF
a thunderbolt. There vas q singing,
| sickenfng sensation somewhere in the
neighborhood Of the right shoulder.
A sudden jerk, and no was alone.
With q groan he fell back and rolled
over on the damp heather. For a
moment the earth swan; then con-
seriousness melted into oblivion.
