Although it was known that The

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally l got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before put my boy to bed,
I used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the inflammation seemed to
be so much less. I used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
Il took care of a friends child that
had eczema on it's face and limbs and
I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re.
turned. l would recommend the Cuti.

FAME AND FORTUNE OFFERED
Rich Prize for Man Who Discovers the
Long-Sought Cure for
Tuberculosis.

DR.. George w. Bloomer of Yale uni
yersity, acting as spokesman for an
anonymous giver, has announced that
a prize of 100000 has been set aside,
to be awarded to the first person any
where in the world who discovers a
cure for tuberculosis. The gift is I'M
conditional as to time, place, or kind
of cure, the only real condition being
that the new cure must have been in
constant use at least five years, and
that the promoter of the cure con-
vince the investigating board of the
merits of his discovery.
A large number of physicians have
been working for years to perfect vac
cine, or anti-toxin for tuberculosis, or
to find some agent, such as tuberculin,
which will assist in the cure of the dis
ease Thus far, the experiments have
not furnished product which will
either absolutely cure or prevent con-
sumption, or render the patient i'm
mune against the disease. Many of
these serums have proved effective in
increasing the resistance of the pa
tent and thus helping in the cure, but
no scientist of repute to-day claims to
have discovered tuberculin which
will produce a cure without the COM
bined aid of fresh air, rest and whole.

CARE OF MATTRESS
WHAT TO DO WHEN SAGGiNG
HAS BEGUN.
Simple Treatment Will Restore Ar.
ticie to Its Former Effectiveness
When the Feather Mattress
Is Indispensable.

Sagging Mattress.-Even a hair mat
tress of extra quality and workman
ship will sag after much use. A bet
ter recourse than frequently turning
your mattress when you begin to lie
hollow" is to rip open the center, draw
out the tuft strings, and fold back
enough of the ticking so that the fill
ing may be thoroughly loosened up.
The opening may be sewed up by
hand, so that you will have no diff
Guilty in repeating the process at some
future time. Mattresses too much
worn for ordinary use come handy in
making box couches. A number OF
single three-inch steel springs fast
ened on the top and half width OF
a bed mattress laid upon it will make
a yielding surface. The whole may be
covered with corduroy or tapestry at
a small output and the result is a
piece of furniture that is really worth
while. If you will construct it in
such a way that the top may be raised
like lid it will be doubly convenient.
Feather Mattress.-In these days of
MOueiu uySlSulC ItSIuc "udI q ool Q
trial presents itself to some of the
elderly members of the family who
absolutely refuse to part with the
feather bed. Even with poor mat
tress-made of strong materials, of
course-the following plan, born of
wide experience, has worked admir-
ably: Distribute feathers as evenly
as possible and, using sheet not too
large but of strong material, such
as unbleached muslin, pin with medi-
UNI sized safety pins closely and firm
ly to the mattress along one side and
end, then the other side and end re.
spectively should be tightly drawn and
snugly pinned. Over this the rubber
sheet may be placed and the new.
firm bed made up with sheets, etc.,
in the regular way. If properly done
the feathers will not need stirring
for some time. Even the bed of a
helpless" patient may be treated in
this fashion without removing the pa
tient, requiring. of course, some skill
in knowing how" to make up one
side at time and in rolling the pa
tient over to complete the work.

sIjoht misunderstanding.

Mickey's mother visited young
school teacher on the East side the
other day, says the New York Sun. AS
nearly as she could make out from the
mothers splutterings the teacher had
been calling Mickey names that no
lady would use and no dacint mother
would stand for" The teacher thought
hard, but could recollect no time when
she had given way to an impulse to
call Mickey dreadful names.
''Sure but you did," insisted the
mother. Il don't know what you meant
by it, but scurvy elephant is no nice
name to call a boy. That's what he
said you called him, a scurvy ele-
plant"
"Scurvy elephant. No." said the
teacher IL a relieved voice, II didn't
call Mike scurvy elephant. l called
him disturbing element, and reiter-
ate my statement"

which you could drive horse, are

"But the Montanan knew nothing
about Chester. He had only arrived

soon as he finished his quaint dinner,
he said to the waiter in the quaint
Chester inn:
"'What is the best way for me to
amuse myself here for an hour or two
before bedtime?"

think you'd find a stroll on the walls

said bitterly:

cIorification Of the COMMONPLACE

The Gospels are filled with the
Qualification of tie commonplace. Not
only does the Lord set about the con-
quest of the world in ways which
seem at first wonderfully quiet and
ineffective, making friends with fish
ermen and preaching his great SER
mons to small congregations, but he
chooses for his assistants and success
sors IL men, among whom not
one is rich, not one is influential, not
one. is possessed Of administrative
ability, and only one or two rise at
all above the common level. They
are commonplace men. And when we
read about them in the Gospels and in
the Acts we find them doing common
place things. But they transformed
the world. The Lord selected IL plain
citizens, IL men out of the kings
highway, and they transformed the
world They appealed to the common
man; they showed him how to under
stand and to accomplish and to glorify
the common task. - Rev. George
Hodges.
