BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when Il baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally / got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

Our New Infantry Equipment.
From HarDarba weakIu

The new infantry equipment for the
United States infantry will prove a
boon to the soldier In the field. This
has been the study OF the special army
board for the past several months, and
q practical test at field maneuvertng by
the soldiers equipped with the new out
At has thoroughly demonstrated its
worth
The equipment has been devised with
every consideration Of nom In cost
and reduction IN weight, and adds ma
terially to the soldiers personal move
ments, while at h same time means
have been adopted for relieving him Of
that part Of the burden from which he
needs to separate himself in the field.
= The new equipment accomplishas a
saving In weight in the burden Of thu
o o soldier Of 10 pounds. It's principal
feature Is the pack, which consists OF q
cylindrical roll Of canvas worn verti-
cally on the back Of the soldier. This
contains the blanket, poncho, rationR,
and so n. 1t is adjusted SO as to
minimize the weight, and is affixed to
the body In such a way hat the com
forts" may be speedily released by pull
ing a string and leaving that part Of
the pack on the field, suitably mum
bered for subsequent Identification. All
that then remain on the shoulders La
that part OF the haversack containing
the necessaries In the shape Of food and
water.
Another feature OF the OUTFIT Is made
up OF the surplus kit one for each
squad Of a corporal and seven men, and
containing the extra pair Of shoes, O
pair OF slippers or gymnasium shoes "a
new article), the extra blanket and q
combination "hussif," instead cs the tn
dividual article. A new bayonet scab-
bard has been devised and will be car
ried on the pack, the Idea being to take
away from h body all dangling arti-
cles. The soldiers blouse IL to be
abandoned. and In It's place Is sugEest-
ed a moderately heavy sweater, to be
made with an opening for chest az
posture. II Ii claimed that this gar
ment In connection with the short
jacket will afford q better facility for
marching than does the present uni
form

Eggs that Keep for a Century.
From HarneT. waaLIv

When Ii Hung Chang made his toul
or the world his commissariat carried
with IT q supply Of Chinese preserved
eggs for the venerable ambassadors
special use. Some of these eggs were
exhlbited In New York while he was
staying here, and a few experts had the
remerity to sample them. They were
no SO bad, after all" was the verdict
or one American connoisseur. although
by their looks you would think they
would come under the ban Of the pure
food law"
The eggs were encased in clay and
when unpacked looked like pieces of
Punlce stone. They are preserved in
this way by the Chinese for q century
or more, and Ii Hung Chang admitted
that the hen which laid the eggs for
his morning meal might have been de-
capltated anywhere from a. quarter to.
half q century before he was born. The
process Of keeping is very primitive
but as effective as 1t Is simple. The
eggs are first boiled hard, and then
while they are hot they are wrapped In.
soft clay and packed away.
In this condition the Chinese claim
they will keep forever and not lose
their flavor or wholesomeness. Indeed.
they consider that age improves the
flavor. Ii Hung Changes commissariRt
brought the Eggs for his personal use
IN bags packed In rice husks, but as
the clay was hard there was not much
danger Of breaking them. When opened
the white" was found to be almost
black and the yolks green. The flavor,
however. was preserved. The Chinese
chop these preserved boiled eggs and
decorate most of their viands with
theyn. They also enter largely into all
their sauces.
Duck eggs are also preserved by the
Chinese in somewhat similar fashion,
There Is q considerable trade in duck
eggs OF the Picking and Muscovy breed,
and many Chinese in this country i'm
port them from China in the preserved
condition. The duck eggs are boiled
and preserved in a paste Of charcoal in
stead Of clay.

Points TO Good Future.

Seven poor children, four girls and
three boys, all about ten years old,
went to a nearby seashore resort, in
charge of two women, for a days out

provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live In one of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One of the women in

A Blow TO College Athletes.

4 writer in The Nation comments, with
some pleasure, on a recent report on
physical development among students OF
lale rs made by the director OF the Yale
gymnasium. In this report The Nation
finds "the apologize note distinctly
present" which is something. new, since
athletic directors have seldom before
been called upon TO prove that physical
training is good for the body This,
however, is what the report seeks TO do,
in that it attempts TO explain the stink
ing fact that, between his freshman
year and his senior year, the undergradu'
ate shows no appreciable Improvement.
so far as may he judged by outward
physical manifestation In height,
weight, and muscular development the
freshman average and the senior average
are virtually the same. Only IN lung
development is there an increase and
this is slight. Such is the record IN a
college where IS per cent of students
take part in some form OF athletics in
addition to doing gymnasium work.
The director undertakes TO explain this
situation on the ground that the period
when boys are students at college Is
physically "a period of arrested develop.
memt," so that for "A college man to hold
his own is something and to make a
gain, however slight is proof Of the Ell.
hciency of physical culture. The writer
in The Nation remarks that the figures
from Yale "concede what the most fer
vent opponent of muscle worship IN the
colleges would scarcely venture to claim.
He says further.
For some time it had become the
fashion to argue that it was absurd to de-
cry athletics, since it was a well-bnown
fact that the best athletes in the. college
were as rule among the best scholars.
1T really was not a well-known fact.
Common experience and common sense
all pointed the other way. But the bold
repetition of an. obvious falsehqod Is
always impressive. The Harvard
figures disposed with neatness and dis
patch of the paradox that the hardest
workers are those who do not work. The
athlete who found no time for study as
an undergraduate made no particularly
happy showing in the professional schools,
and the undergraduate who was faithful
to his work did. If athleticism was to be
justified at all. it was within its own
domain of the physical
"And now come the Yale figures to in
dictate that even in the domain of the
physical, athletieism, with its vast and
costly machinery, works results totally
out of proportion to the expenditure OF
time, effort, and interest. we
saw indicate and not show because, as
we have already stated, we, believe the
Yale figures prove too much We feel
that athletics must do good, and actually
do so. We find the only value, OF the
Yale fgures-though a very high value
tween the zeal and clamor that go into
athletics and the result. The figures do
not convince us that football and rowing
produce no favorable effect on the college
mans physical development They do
support the conviction that such good as
football, rowing, and all the other. college
sports accomplish, might be, attained. at
a much smaller sacrifice of the things
colleges were once upon time supposed
to stand for"
