MY son Clyde was almost com
pletely covered with eczema. Physi
clans treated him for nearly a yeas
without helping him any. His head
face and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until They
fell on. Then blood and matter woulsl
run out and that would be worse
Friends coming TO see him said that r.
he got well he would be disiigurexi FOR
life. When II seemed an II he could
possibly stand II no longer. I usesl
some Cuticura Soap. cuticurn Oint
ment, and Cuticura Resolyent. That
was the first night for nearly n year
that he slept. In the morning there
was 4 great change for the better. In
about six weeks he vas perfectly well.

Some new and startling chapters of an
thracite history were brought to light
during the hearing Of the federal suit
against the anthracite railroads charging
trade restraint, before Examiner Guilbert
at Philadelphia recently. Lawyers for
the government submitted a documen.
showing how as far back as 1876 there
was a board Of control empowered to fix
prices and regulate production and ship
ments, and how representatives of the va
rious coal roads were directors OF the
Temple Iron Company, the executive COM
mittee of which was named by President
Baer of the Reading. Lawyers for the
defense objected that the document was
irrelevant, and that it antedated the life
of the law under which the present action
was brought.

A. II. Norwood, OF the Leicester
(Englani) Museum. remarks that the
colors OF birds eggs can. In . large
number OF cases, be traced to the ne
cessity OF protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting In holes I'm trees, or In dark sit
uations, like owls. w~oodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on or
near the ground lay eggs Of an olive
green or brown ground color. The riggs
OF grouse. ptarmigan. and 70 forth, re-
semble the heather among which they
are laid. Those OF the hinged ployer,
little tern and oyster-catcher resemble
the sand and shingle Of the beach.
The lapwing's eggs closely simulate
bare soil or dried bents. The young
chicks show similar protective" eoiors.

exact reverse Is the case. says the En-
gineer. As every river engineer knows.
nothing is more disastrous to a river
bank on an aiiuvial stream than heavy
trees. This is due partly to the great
weight. bur In large part TO the sNay-

wood In the channels have always been
among the most serious obstacles to
navigation on streams flowing between

ground and cause II To slide: and In

The Crop Mortgage system.

As every informed person Knows, the
chief trouble, at the bottom Of almost
all the other troubles, il that many
Of the raisers OF cotton are In debt.
1t il a remarkable fact that many cot
ton raisers continue I'm debt (about q
year behind the world) as long as they
live. or course the insufficient price
Of cotton has had much to do with
this but not all. The policy Of adher-
ing to cotton whether 1t be low or
high In price also has to do with II.
Whatever the cause, the fact Is fully
agreed upon. 1t Is further conceded
that II the raisers OF cotton were MS
nearly upon a cash basis as men In
ether lines usually are they could then
assert some authority In fixing the
price OF cotton, because they could hold
1t until the terms suited them.-Gai-

Effect of Freezing On DutteF.
A series Of trials were made at the
Vermont Experiment Station. wherein
milk was divided into two lots one-half
allowed to freeze and the other an
died In the usual n then churn-
ed, the butter worked and scored.
Neither Swimming. ripening nor churn-
ing appeared to be impaired. Not so,
however, with the scoring. The ayer-
age scores OF two sets OF Afteen lots
each were: Frozen butter, 93.2: nor
NAL butter, a3-5. Freezing tended very
slightly to lower the grade Of the but
ter. yet freezing is not necessarily a
rnenace to good butter making. 1t
should not be inferred. however, that
~infrequent creamery receipts, delivered
mere or less frostbitten, will make rs
good q butter as ii they had been de-
liyered u~nfrozen.

PROTECTION THE ISSUE

The American Economist, pub
lished in the interests of the pro-
tected Industries, says:
mo evidence has been fur
nished anywhere by anybody that
the tariff schedules require change
in the interests of the industries,
the wages of workmen. the rev.
enues of the Government or the
international trade of the country.
THE Republican party, there
fore, faces the Chicago convention
with an unsupported and unde-
fined tariff revision program, and
with leading candidate who,
with all his personal merits. is not
the choice of the great mass of the
American people, who demand
that there shall be no doubtful
issues promulgated against the
cause of Protection.
There are at least four candi-
dates whose names have been be-
fore the people in the preliminary
campaign who are sounder on the
Protection question than is Secre-
tary Taft"
