Quickly Cured by cutIeura.

II suffered from eczema on my
hands, arms and feet for about twelve
years, my hands and feet would swell,
sweat and itch, then would become
callous and get very dry, then peel
off and get raw. I tried most every
kind Of salve and ointment without
success. I tried several doctors, but
at last gave up thinking there was q
cure for eczema. A friend of mine
insisted on my trying the Cuticura
Remedies, but I did not give them a
trial until I got SO bad that I had to
do something. 1 secured a set and by
the time they were used I could see q
vast improvement and my hands and
feet were healed up in no time. I have
had no trouble since. Charles T.

The Water Bite.

He was six years old and had never
gazed into the mystic lens Of a mi
croscope. Several slides containing
animalcula had been displayed to his
astonished vision. He was too amazed
TO make any comment until he came
to one slide that seemed more wriggly
than any Of the others. 1t was merely
n drop of water.
The little fellow gazed at 1t a long
time, with all its nimble particles OF
animal life. and finally exclaimed to
his mother:
"Oh. mamma, o l know what 1t Is
that bites you when you drink soda

ADMIRAL SCHLEY RECALLS
WAR WITH KOREA

New Yor-A naval expedition that
brought honor to the American flag
and added an empire to civilization, ,"
but which resulted in the death of
nearly 5000 Koreans, was the subject
of an address by Rear Admiral Win
field Scott Schley on "Our Navy in
the Hermit Empire" In recalling an
incident little remembered by Ameri-
cans. Admiral Schley related how on
May 16, 1871, he was with Rear Ad-
miral Rogers with seven American
war vessels which went to Korea to
investigate the loss Of the American
steamer General Sherman, the crew
of which had been murdered.
"The Koreans would give US no in
formation and when we entered the
river leading to Seoul, they opened
fire on US" said Admiral Schley. 1--WE
landed 900 men with a number of
guns and they attacked the citadel,
