Eczema for a Year-Got No Relief Even at Skin HospitaI--In Despair
Until Cuticura Cured Him.

'I was troubled with a severe itch- ing and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles, feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pim- ples formed and these caused intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. l did so, the chief surgeon saying: T never saw such bad case of eczema" But I got little or no relief Then tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up in despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applications of Cuticura Ointment. continued its use, combined with Cuti- cura Soap and Pills, and I was com pletely cured, Henry Searle, Little Rock, Ark, Oct. and 10, 1997."

COUNTRY CLEARLY AT FAULT
Provisions for Taking Care of Unfor- tunate Tuberculosis Victims Are
 All Too Meaqsr.

The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubereulo- sis states that there are in the United States at least 300,000 consumptiyes who are so poor that they cannot pay for proper medical treatment in tuber- cluosis sanitoria and hospitals. Some of them can pay small amounts a week for their maintenance, but the great majority of them cannot pay any thing. For this large class of pa- tients the entire country has provided only 10000 beds for the free treatment of tuberculosis In Alabama, Arkan- sas, Idaho Kansas, Mississippi, Mon- tana, Nevada, North Dokota, Okla homa, Oregon. Philippine islands, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming there is no place where the consumptive without means can he treated but in the jails or the insane asylums of these states, and in most cases he will get no treat vide less than 50 beds each for poor consumptives. In only two states, Massachusetts and New York, have beds for needy tuberculosis patients been provided. so that at least one in ten may find place for treatment. In many of the other states not one in fifty of the destitute consumptives can find bed in a hospital or sana- tOrium

HABITS CHAIN Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power neces- sary to break lifelong habit would, If it could be transformed, lift weight of many tons.
 It sometimes requires higher de- gree of heroism to break the chains of pernicious habit than to lead a for iorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town:
 From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before was out of my teens I was miserable dyspeptic, suf- fering terribly at times with my stom- ach.
 T was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet l could not deny myself a cup for breakfast. At the age of 36 was in very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming coffee drunkard
 But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast, although it kept me constantly i'll, until tried Postum I learned to make it properly according to directions, and now we can hardly Go without Postum for breakfast, and care nothing for coffee
 T am no longer troubled with dys- peps;a. do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee"

to him. it does to the little Johnny of today The lad of the next century will want model of the latest airship in his Christmas stocking He will expect a working model, too-one that will sail through the flat like live bird and perhaps carry his weight.
 Within the last hundred years steam and cleo tricity have been developed and it is entirely
 sonable to imagine that within the coming century men will travel through the air as commonly as
 they travel the land. The automobile,
 the trolley car the railroad train, and the horse
 a draft animal-all will be gone Men will use
 the earth, the birds do, for a resting place for
 their homes and the principal source of food sup ply; but when they want to move from one place to another, they will mount into the ether,
 as the birds do, and fay swiftly and safely to their destination
 It is probable that there will not be wheeled vehicle of any kind the streets of great city on Christmas day in the year 2o09. Our tunnel
 system will have developed until the vast subter-
 ranean net work of bores chutes and pneumatic tubes will carry the heavy traffic of the city
 without noise confusion The streets will be given up to pedestrians-to those who walk for pleasure or wish to travel short distances. The sidewalk it is will be more, but the tire width of the street will be given up to foot 1 passengers. There will be neither car tracks moving vehicles to annoy.
 The suburbanite who does not fly to work in 2009 will be shot through pneumatic tube, trav- cling the five, ten, or fifty miles Of distance iD space of time that may be only few seconds, and certainly cannot be more than few minutes. It
 may be that few people will walk anywhere in
 the year 2009. When man learns to fly he will scorn walking as too slow a means of progress Perhaps our great-great-grandchildren, who no
 doubt will live in immense apartment buildings | towering half mile from the ground, may go
 for weeks at time without setting foot to the 1 earth.
 | With the passing of the Christmas sleigh there
 will be longer any need for reindeers for Santa Claus. He. too will travel by airship, and while l the old Santa Claus will be myth, the Santa | Claus will be real as the bewhiskered and be- furred boys who entertain the children in the department stores
 It is not hard to imagine that the big stores
 will develop the Santa Claus idea to the point that | Christmas purchases will be delivered Christ | mas eve by an airship driver made up to imper-

til they will be literally "skyscrapers" within cen tury.
 In one of these big buildings, while the machin- cry will be out of sight, domestic affairs will be so mechanical, automatic that you can get al most anything the family needs simply by turning a switch or pressing button.
 The flat dweler of that distant day will not be bothered with servants the servant problem. By pressing button the Christmas dinner will come up noiseless.y from the kitchen on the mechanical waiter or perhaps in a pneumatic tube.
 After your Christmas dinner is over the dishes will disappear silently and swiftly as you could wish Some sort of mechanical dish washer in the kitchen will take care of them-or, what is more likely, they will be made of a cheap composition and will be destroyed by burning after they are used once The antiseptic precautions of the mod ern surgeon will be common to the kitchens of the next century and hygiene will be real science
 When you have eaten your Christmas dinner, if you want to go out for the evening you press a button and an aerocab will to the landing at your door. Or, if you prefer it. you may drop down the pneumatic elevator to some point 50 100 feet below the surface of the earth and be whirled through the pneumatic subway at a dizzy rate of speed to your destination. Only the speed will not make you dizzy. You will not be able to feel it. You may sit in your cushioned well lighted and warmed and ventilated by some process yet to be discovered and before you realize it the miles will speed away and you step out to the opera or the play
 If you prefer to remain at your apartments the kaleidoscope attached to your telephone may be connected to any theater you desire, and you can sit in your easy chair and smoke while you see the play projected on the wall like the most perfect moving picture All the stage settings will be there to make the play seem real, and the improved tee. phone will bring every shade and subtle infection of the actors voice to your ear.
 It seems certain that this kaleidoscope arrange ment-the exact word to describe it will be coined after the process is discovered-will be one of the triumphs of the coming century. It will enable you to see the person you talking to a tele- phone.
 The flight of the coming airship probably will be so rapid that the business and even the sal aried worker, If he loves the country, can have villa or cottage at great distance from the city and go to work in his airship at slight cost
 On Christmas day in the good century to come this flight in the air will be the means of many family reunions that are impossible now. few hours will take one to the most distant part of the country, and the practical cessation of business during the holiday week will leave all free to fore gather with the loved and pay deferred visits

probably will have provided for you a combina- tion of telescope and moving picture machine by means of which you can connect your room with the toy department and see the display by wire or perhaps by wireless and at the time you get prices and leave your order with the clerk by telephone.
 But perhaps the of 2009 will enjoy the mad rush of the shops as much as she does to- day during the holiday season, and then she will go to the big store and order her toys and pres ents. The store could deliver them through the pneumatic package tubes which will go to all parts of the city, but it will be more poetic to have them delivered by Santa Claus.
 Christmas a hundred Santa Clauses will set out from the various shops with their airships laden with Christmas gifts to be de- livered at the various addresses It will no longer be necessary to deliver all goods in the rear" of the big apartment building, but whether you live the twentieth two hundred and twentieth story of the big house you will have your own private airship landing, and while the family is gathered at the door to receive Santa Claus the airship will settle the landing and the cheerful Merry Christmas" of the aeronaut will greet you as he hands in the packages
 The Christmas tree of hundred years from will be electrical marvel. Festoons and wreaths of rainbow colored lights and "chasers' will scintate from it's green branches. But the presents that hang on it will be even more won derful.
 There will be dolls as large as the little girls who will receive them. There will be dolls that walk and with the improved photographic engagements of another century there will be dolls that can talk and others that sing beautiful songs. Some of them, doubt, will be able to dance gracefully and to do tricks that would seem miraculous if performed by an automaton to-day.
 The mechanical toys of 2009 will be marvels of perfection The most imaginative cannot possibly conceive of the things that will be invented in the way of machinery, but 1t is safe to assume that the wireless transmission of power will be perfected. Wheels will spin without any visible motive power. Power may be taken from the suns rays or wireless power stations may be operated by the waves, the waterfalls, even the winds Before the coal supply Is exhausted the need for coal, either for warmth power will have passed away

BRITISH ROYALTY
COMING TO PACIFIC

Says the London correspondent of
the Hongkong Daily Press:
Hongkong may expect royal visit
during 1911, as 7 understand that ar
rangements for the tour of the en-
pire, which Prince Edward of Wales
and his brother Prince Albert are to
make that year, are already being dis
cussed, and there is a suggestion that
China and Japan should be included
in the itinerary.
1t has been decided that the young
princes shall follow the example of
their father and of the late Duke of
Clarence, and make their tour in a
cruiser, probably one of the Indomi-
table type. The empire has largely in
creased in size since the Prince of
Wales made his famous tour in the
Bacchante with his brother, and the
two young princes are likely to take
more time to visit the different col
onies, though the time spent at sea
will be much shorter. owing to the
greatly improved steaming power of
modern warships. 1t is probable that
Canada will be visited first. Fully
twelve months win be spent on this
tour. and the young princes will be
accompanied by a large suite.

CUPID HAS PUZZLE
FOR SOCIETY FOLK

BOSTON, April 2S.-Is Adelaide L.
Cutler, prominent in Brookline socle
ty, going to wed Milton L. Williams,
said to be a NewYork millionaire, or
is she not?
This question is at present greatly
puzzling Boston sociel circles, since
at this time, when their wedding bells
were expected to ring, Miss Cutler
and Mr.. Williams are thousands of
miles apart-she in Bangor, Me-, he
in Pasadena, Cal.
Additional interest has been arous-
ed by the filing of a suit by a Boston
private detective against George c.
Cutler, a brother of Miss Cutler, in
which the names of Mr.. Williams and
Miss Cutler are prominently men
toned, and in which damages to the
amount of $4,000 are asked
1t appears from the papers Ill thu
suit that the detective was sending
some information to Mr.. Williams to
which Mr.. Cutler, acting in his sis
ter's behalf, took such strenuous OBJ
lection as to declare it to be a web
of falsehoods.
1t is this suit, it is declared that
drove Miss Cutler to seek seclusion
in the home of her childhood.
The couple first met two years ago
at watering place. When Miss Cut
Ter came back to her Brookline home
Williams followed her. He engaged
apartments near her home and press
ed his suit so ardently that he won

The board of directors were author

The cathedral will be constructed
on the site where formerly stood the

corner of Twenty-third avenue and
Eleventh street. This handsome site
was purchased some years ago for the
purpose for which it is to be used.
