BABY HORRIBLY BURNED.
By Boiling Grease-skin All Came Off One Side of Face and Head Thought Her Dsfigured for Life.
Used CHticura: No Scar Left.

My baby was sitting beside the fender and We were preparing the breakfast when the frEing-pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, pulling the entire skin off We took her 10 a doctor He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all festered and thought the baly was disfgured for life. I used about three boxes of Cutieura Ointment and it was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks il was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. Her skin is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare. l. Henry St. South Shields, Durham, England, March %. 1908"

Four Men Who Were Punished for
 Helping Mankind

A factory was on fire The anger ,razed mob who had set it ablaze ,aneed about the flames and clam bred for the factory life. Not content with impoverishing him and burning his life-work. they now searched for him far and near in or der to complete their atrocities by tearing him 10 pieces or throwing him into the fire The man they sought was James HargreaYes. The only crime he had committed was to reyo- lutionize the cotton industry by in. venting a machine which should some day make cotton many times cheaper and give employment to countless thousands of poor people
 Cotton is a commonplace sort Of fabric
 Cotton had been introduced into Eng land before the seventeenth century. but the labor and s!eeH-~s or veat= ing had made is manufacture #ex. pensiee and of doaHtH#l general ase= Each thread was sa8n separately by wheel The looms were also awkward affairs worked by hand. each cottage n many districts contained both loom and wheel Hundreds el peo- pie picked up a scanJy Etng by spin ning and weaving

Whitnev's name was on all lips Then. as he was arranging to patent his cot tor sIn. thieves broke into his work shop one night and stole the model, hoping to copy 1t and make similar gins Of their own before the patent could be secured. Thus at the very threshold Of success. Whitney re ceiyed his first terrible setback Furi- ous at such ingratitude from inhabi- tants of the very section that was 10 profit most by his invention. Whit hey left the south and moved to Con necticut. where he began a systematic manufacture of cotton gins. h this he was aided by the state Of South Carolina. which showed its thanks to hlm in the very practical form Of a gift of $50 000o
 But his rights were assailed and he became involved in a series Of costly laT Tsuits, nearly all of which he lost Thus his invention of the cotton gin proved merely barren honor
 But the gin itself had by that time reXolutionized American commerce. h 17a1 only 1se 500 pounds Of cotton had been exported to Europe The next year W'hitneys apparatus was made. and in 1903 the annual amount Of export cotton had been increased 10 1000 GOO pounds. Cotton growing became a splenddly paying industry. Thousands of miles of southern terri
