BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our 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 we'll 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 l am pleased to say
W. did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see If 1t would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
Is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. | hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little n suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason.

No other precious stone has been

earliest historical record is lost in a
labyrinth of myth and fable. The dis

The celebrated "KOhinur" diamond

is that of a shallow brilliant. too dim

The Great Table, another Indian
diamond, brought to Europe in 1912
by the French jeweler Tavernier. is
said to have weighed originally 242H
carats, but as the result of two cut
tings its weight was reduced to 67R

Farmers should eat more oatmeal.

Although the farmer Of today is able
to buy almost anything he wants to
wear or eat he isn't paying enough
attention to food values when 1t comes
to his own table.
He feeds his stock carefully, avoids
overlooking and selects the stock food
that he believes will give the best re-
turns in strength and general efficiency.
If he has been watching the extern
sive researches and experiments on
the question Of the best human food
for muscle and brain he will heed the
advice from all sides to eat more
Quaker Oats"
Quaker Oats is mentioned because
it is recognized in this country and
Europe as the best of all oatmeals.
Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats
means getting more work out Of them
than If you feed them on anything
else. 81

HANOiCRAFT OF POWERS
Two South Dakota Boys Follow Foot
steps Of Great Sculptor

Pierre-The discussion of I've Bea-
die statue for the capitol has dis
closed the fact that South Dakota ha-
two sculptOrs Of good promise. Harry
Daniel Webster was a Minnehaha
county farmer boy. who studied s'Oyd.
or wood carving, in the Sioux Falls
schools, and from that Wen into
sculpture. He has made good. and is
doing highly cied.table work. HIS
last commission was an heroic fig re
of the Minute Man for the Connect
lieut. Sons of the American RevOlu-
ton. He has done much WORK fer
Tiffany's and he is warmly commend
ed by Daniel French, William Eor-
ing. Blashfield and many other artists
OF high repute.
Gilbert Risvold, also a Minnehaha
county farmer boy, born near Baltic
Of a Norwegian pioneer family. s a
pupil of dorado Taft, and is recOg-
nized as an artist of ability by the
Chicago Art institute. He had sCme
good commissions and his work is
very pleasing. 1t is a source Of much
qualification to South rakOta to
know we have sculptors capable OF
doing satisfactory work in the n
mentation of the capitol.
Generally speaking, the warm
weather is the worst drawback to fruit
culture here. Apples seem we'll adapt
cd &c both the prairie and mountain
regions and some v'ly valuable com
mercial orchards have been developed.
Nearly thirty years ago a farmer near
Hurley. an erratic man who later be-
came insane. planted an entire quarter
section to apples. I believe this action
was adduced as one OF the reasons fer
committing him to an asylum. The or
chard was for a long time pointed out
as an insane mans folly, but as IT de-
velODed his family gave il some care
