16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE

For sixteen long years l have been
suffering with bad case Of skin dis
ease. While child there broke out a
red sore on the legs just in back Of
my knees. 1t waxed from bad to worse,
and at last 1 saw l had a bad skin
disease. I tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both
cred me more in warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
1t made 1t impossible for me to walk,
and was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather My hopes of recov-
cry were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last 1 was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
[Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills]
and 1 did not need more than a trial
to convince me that was on the road
of success this time. I bought two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone l was a differ
ent man entirely. l am now the hap
piest man that there is at least one
true care for skin diseases. Leonard

ter At the age of 21 he was made
master of ship In 1924.
1t was about at this time that he
christened the flag "Old Glory" as he
and his old captain had seen some
stirring times under it's folds and con-
sidered no name too sacred for 1t. He
commanded different ships from that
time on until he left the ocean and
settled in Nashville, Tenn, in 1887.
He passed through many thrilling and
perilous adventures after he became
captain, was chased by heavily
armed Yankee pirate" in the Carib-
bean sea for six hours. He outsailed
and lodged him in the dark, and saw
the pirate hanged afterwards, much
TO Captain Drivers satisfaction.
He had considerable experience
with Malay pirates and South Sea
cannibals, to say nothing of the ocean
storms He made several trips around
the world, the last in 1886, in the ship
Black Warrior, was the shortest on
record for sailing vessel, the log
showing about 10000 miles in 1877
sailing days, nearly seven miles log
run per hour, fair or foul weather
The trip, including SO days stoppage
in ports, made 1t altogether 268 days.
This was his last trip to sea.
His flag "Old Glory" which had
been his companion for years, he
packed in his camphor wood sea chest
and moved to Nashville, Tenn, in
1887, where he died March 2, 1885. He
gave the flag to his daughter, Mary
Jane Roland, in 1873. She still has it
In her possession at Wells, New. It's
original dimension was 10x20 feet,
blue field 5x6, an anchor in the lower
inside corner blue field, thirteen
stripes, and at the breaking out of the
Civil war thirty-four stars, the num-
Der of states in the Union at that
time. He asked to have a new star
put on the flag every time a new state
was admitted, but added none after
the war as the old flag had seen it's
day.

NAMED OLD GLORY
Life Story of Man Who Christen'
ed the Flag.
Ran Away to Sea Because of Being
Made to Wear Ruffles, and After.
ward Became a Famous
Captain.

Reno, Nev.-Capt William Driver,
the man who christened the Amer
lean flag 'Old Glory" was born in
Salem, Mass, March IT, 1903.
At the age Of 13 Driver was appren-
ticed to blacksmith. Instead of
making plows and shoeing horses,
however, the blacksmith's wife set
him at work milking cows and doing
light chores. In order that he might
surpass the other boys of the place
In personal appearance, the black
smiths wife clothed him with a shirt
waist of unbleached goods, with great
rows Of ruffles down the front. Driver
demurred, but the blacksmith's wife
insisted that the shirt must stay on.
However, when Driver was going
out through the gate it was noticed
that he rolled up his sleeves; he knew
that he was in for fight with every
boy in town. When he got around
the corner he carefully cut away as
much of the ruff1es as he could, but
he had to fight, nevertheless; and he
came out of it all triumphant though
somewhat disf1gured, as might be ex-
pected of a lad that has to lick the
whole crowd just because some wom
an puts a ridiculous costume on him.
SO he ran away and went to sea.
During his first voyage at sea after
a severe storm, which caused the ship
to spring leak, the men refused to
work the pumps unless their wages
were raised. The old captain of the
ship sent Driver below for his pistols
and pipe. When he brought them on
deck the captain cut the boats loose,
lit his pipe, sat down and notified the
crew they would either pump or "all
hands would go to hell together
They returned to the pump and saved
the ship.
He sailed with this captain for five
years, who soon afterwards made him
mate, and from him he learned many
valuable and useful lessons. He left

RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY

inq tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers

the Civil war; After the war, this
method Of raising money was discon-
tinued In this country for genera
tion, although it found vogue in Por-
tugal. Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types Of charity stamps
used in all parts of the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re-
suit Of the interest of Jacob Riis in
tuberculosis association, headed by
this movement, the Delaware Anti
Miss Emily P. Bissell, and the Red
Cross society of Delaware combined
in Issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year, In 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue a national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, $135,000 was realized, that
amount being almost doubled in 1909.
This year, for the first time, the sale
