The repeated story of Washing
toms profanity at the battle Of Mon
mouth is strenuously denied in Marion
- rlands autobiography, and upon the
best authority-that of a revolutionary
veteran, Stirling Smith by name, who
was uncle to Marion Harland's grand
father. "IIe did not swear" the old
warhorse would thunder when irrev-
erent youngsters retailed the slander
In his hearing. II was close behind
him--and can tell you, sir, we rode
fast--when what should we meet run

OF battle with the British almost at

Washington, speaking out loud and

name, what is the meaning Of this Ill
timed prudence?' Now, you see,
Central Lee, he was mighty high-spir-

m IE treasury building is undergoing
another overhauling, which this
time costs $1S0,OO0. The renovators
have been at work on the treasury
building for a good many years. Not
very much has been done to the inside
of the great pile of masonry where
.bo United States money is kept, but
q or less work is all the time going
IN the outside. All Of the original
adstone or soft limestone that faced
tbe outside of the building has been at
last removed, and granite has been put
in its place. The principal change that
win now be made will be to eliminate
the huge granite entrance steps on the
Fifteenth street side. Several new
passenger elevators will be installed.

TINY BABYS PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head 20 foot, all over her body.
The baby looked Just like a skinned
rabbit. We we're unable to put clothes
on her. At first Il seemed 10 be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel of leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though It were
scalds. Then q few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot On top Of her
head there appeared a heavy scab
quarter OF an inch thick. II was aw.
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
TO put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuucura Ointment we
softened the scab and It came of. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuucura Soap
and applying the Cuucura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops Of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is e fine
picture Of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re
solvent. II people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
mann, Z st. Johns Place, Ridgewood

Der of years. One of the very first I'M
provements was the elimination from
the building of the branch printing
office, with it's combustible inks, oils,
etc. With the great Fifteenth street

grade will be provided for the EN-.
ployes, and a count will be kept of the
people entering and leaving the build
ing, which at the present time seems
to be impossible. At the present time

into their working rooms, so that lock-

Of approximately $2,OOO,OOO worth of

r HE experts in both the army and
the navy are watching with keen
interest the development Of the
heavier-than-air craft. While the Of
ficials are not willing to say much pub
licly about the possibilities Of the use
Of airships in time of war, they are
saying privately that the probability
is that when the next great war comes
the airship viii play a more effective
part than battleships, land batteries,
or great masses Of troops.
The prediction is freely made by
army and navy officials in private that
not a dollar will ever be spent in forti-
tying for the protection of the Panama
canal They have arrived at this con-
clusion because they think they fore
see that within few years the airship
will be brought to a stage of perfec-
tion that will enable it quickly to de-
stroy any fortifications that might be
erected along the route of the canal.
Congress at the recent session de-
clined to appropriate money for the
fortiication of the canal. No public

preparation was ever announced, but
It is now pretty well understood that
the experts In both the war and navy
departments suggested that it would
be we'll to defer action until the gov.
ernment understands better what to
expect OF the airship.
Officials in the army and navy de.
partments are greatly impressed with
the performances of Glenn Curtiss
with his aeroplane at Atlantic City re-
Gently. Those performances were not
under the auspices of either the war
department or the navy department
but agents of each of the fighting arms
were present, and were deeply i'm
pressed with what Curtiss was able to
do They have reported to their re-
spective departments that from a
height that would have protected him
reasonably well from a fire directed
at him from either land or water, he
dropped small articles on boats and on
objects on land with remarkable pre-
cision.
Some of the experts from the de-
partments who saw the Curtlss per
formances came back firmly convinced
that If war should come on tomorrow
the aeroplane would be able to do de-
structive work.
In spite of the possibilities present
ed by the rapid development of air
craft, the United States government
is really doing nothing toward taking
of the situation.

Polly and the Prophecy
BY STANLEY BARTON
Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Presa

The fortune teller held Polly's little
hand and gazed long and shrewdly
into her eyes The fortune teller was
4 woman, and therefore Polly did not
blush, as she was wont 10 do under
the admirlng stare OF men,
Nevertheless, Polly was uneasy,
There seemed 20 be a set grlmness
about the tense moutl OF this oddly
dressed seer that boded IN for the
dimunitive ono before her
"You would penetrate the future"
began the fortune teller, "and You
have come to me 10 find out what is
In store for you. Well. then, young
woman, | will tell you. Listen An
old man with money Is 10 enter into
your life. The stars tell me that you
viii greet him with open arms"
II won't" protested the rebellious
Polly. She had in mind as she
spoke, the sturdy Jimmy Hamilton
whom she had refused for the third
time that morning.
"The stars Go not lie." chided the
fortune teller. "An old man will en-.
ter your life, and his lmpetuoslty viii
fairly take your breath away. He
will be old, but-he has money"
Il won't hear a bit more" came
from Polly angrily, and In a turbu-
lent state of mind she drew her
naughty little self Indignantly out OF
the camp chair and hounced from the
tent.

that she had gone to the fortune

man, but since my wife began buying
Easy Task laundry soap, there is no

soap and find It is made Of purest

ty-hve cents a pound, wholesale, and
we imported only 56,l32 pounds of it,
while in 1909 we brought in 445,733
pounds, with the price at something
more than seventy cents. Such a rate
Of growth In face Of so rapid an in
crease in price is almost unprecedent-
ed in other lines Of commerce and is
another illustration that woman wants
what she wants when she wants it and
is going to have it-expense be

Our diplomatic representative leaves
us in the dark as to what woman in
China is doing for hair. If the trade
keeps on, she will certainly be bald in
course of time. He pays a compH.
ment, however, to the genius of the
Chinese artist by remarking that Chi.
nese hair is treated at home in various
ways so as to match almost any tex
ture desired" leaving us to conclude
that the diversity of color not infre-
quently noted on the same head is
due to lack of circumspection on the
part of American women.

Falcone and his companion had

three miles beyond the poor farm.
Santuse did so but not until he
had notified the sheriff who, with

When Falcone and his assistant

Discovers Meningitis Serum.

New York, March 25.-Physicians
throughout the city are discussing
the possibilities today of a serum
discovered by DIR. Simon Flexner,
which he contends has reduced the
mortuary per cent attending spinal
meningitis, to q minimum.
DR.. Flexner claims that the serum
cured 1O7 cases out OF 123. Tha
usual mortality from the disease Is
from 20 10 so per cent. Flexneris
experiments showed mortality of
l6 per cent. The experiments were
carried on in various New York hos
pitals.
FleXner's announcement was
made secretly to a selected number
of physicians but later the report OF
the discovery spread
