Eczema began over the top of my

spread had three different doctors and
tried several things, but they did me no
good. At last one side OF my face and
my neck were raw. The water ran out

cotton, and it was so inflamed and sore
that,I had to put piece Of cloth over
my pillow to keep the water from it,
and it would stain the cloth a sort Of

seemed as though l could tear my face
all to pieces. Then l began to use the

WILL Be AMERICAS
GREATEST SONCFEST
Six Thousand Voices to Be
Heard In Chorus In New York.

New York, June 19.-For size and
distinction the musical festival which
will begin tonight in Madison Square
Garden, to last four days, has proba-
bly never been rivaled In America.
The men in charge of the festival de-
clare that never before has there been
assembled in this country SO great a
number of singers to interpret the
works of the masters OF the musical
art
Among the prominent featues Of the
festival will be concerts rendered by a
male chorus of 5000 voices and an or
chestra of 100 pieces. A special fea-
ture will be the contest open to the
singing societies of the United States
competing for the famous kaiser
prize" statue donated to the United
Singers of New York by Emperor Will
liam.
For the first time in the history OF
music festival: in America there Will
be competitive prize singing by Ameri-
can glee clubs for prize donated by
a well known American citizen, for
which clubs in the east and middle
west have been invited to compete.
President Taft and Governor
Hughes, with many other persons of
prominence. have promised to attend
the festival Two of the five judges
of the principal events are Germans
appointed by Emperor William.

General Grant has fifty been spoken

may have been the blending Of this
large mindedness and lack of affecta-

assistance, SO generous in his praise OF
an opponent, even when that opponent
was fighting him to the death. The
following little story emphasizes all
these qualities:

AUTUMN LEAVES.
The Change Of Color From Green to
Red or Yellow or Brown.

Red or Yellow or Brown.
Despite the commonneSs Of autumn
cOlOrings, we do not yet know the full
meaning Of autumn colors of leaves.
We do know that late in the summer
the tree is preparing for the leaf fall
by drawing the valuable substances Of
the leaf into the stem. 1t also ceases
to make chlorophyl the green sub
stance of the leaf which aids in the
making of the plants food, and this
gradually fades away in the bright
light. BY fading it exposes to view
any other colors in the leaf, and all
leaves contain yellow coloring matters
called xanthophyl, whose function is
not known. and it is these which give
the yellow color to autumn leaves.
The red is formed differently. In
bright light and cool temperature
new substance, called erythrophyl, is
made from sugar and tannin in the leaf
cells, and that has a red color. A
brown substance is also sometimes
formed, and besides, the skeleton of
the leaf itself turns brown as the leaf
dies. 1t Is the various combinations of
these substances that give the many
shades Of autumn coiors. Some stu
dents think these colors are useful
protection to the living protoplasm Qife
materially of the leaf after the green
disappears, protecting it against the
full blaze Of light. which is injurious,
but others think the colors have no use
at all, but are simply the incidental
chemical result of the processes in the
ripening and dying leaf.
AS yet the weight Of evidence seems
to favor the latter view. but the mat
ter is still unsettled. 1t is generally
thought that frost has something to do
with it. but it has not except to hasten
1t. Anything which affects the vitality
of the leaf tends to hasten it. for which
reason an injured branch of maple
will often show red autumn color even
in summer.
The colOrs are brightest where the
leaves receive the most brilliant sun
shine.-ProfpssO w. +. Ganong in st
