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 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 1t 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 ! am pleased to say
we did not use all OF them until he
was cured. We have waited q year
and half to see II 1t would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
Is clear and fair as It possibly could
be. hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket.books. John Leason.

swampy tracts are suitable for goat
raising. The feed that goats prefer
is browse with small admlxture OF
weeds and grass, and therefore those
tracts burdened with brushwood and

fact makes It clear that In the colder

Some years ago there was published
In the Gazette design for building
walls Of concrete for farm use. The
idea was Of a thin curtain wall, only
4 inches thick. carefully reinforced
and held by buttresses or concrete
posts at distances Of about 10 feet
apart II there Is much pressure
against the wall 1t will be better to
put these buttresses only feet or 8
feet apart. Since ! published my plans
I have seen several walls sthat had
been built In the manner described,
and know that they are all right. I
have also learned something OF how
one can best do the work and have
no cracking at all. writes Joseph E.
Wing In Breeders Gazette. Bear now

like wall. is really on the principle
Of concrete fence. the thickness OF

The boundaries of the Pee Dee Sec
tion are being gradually extended and
I'm time. In course OF time, the term
Pee Dee Section may be applied to all
the State not In the Piedmont. We
are led 10 this conclusion by the an
nouncement that Hopkins. Richland
county. Is desirous OF annexing the
Pee Dee Experiment Station to be
established by Clemson College. II
Richland Is in the Pee Dee. Sumter
assuredly is. and an effort should be
made to secure the experiment sta
ton for this county. Sumter county
would unquestionabiy be a better To-
since we are nearer the Pee Dee and
the soil Is. II Is said. almost identical
with the soil Of the other Eastern
Carolina counties that lie In what is
properly known as the Pee Dee Sec
tion- But jesting aside. we hope to
see a concerted effort made by our
people to secure the experiment sta
tion for Sumter county. We haven't
a doubt but that Sumter county at
fords an ideal location for the exper-
iment station for the reason the soil
and climate Is typical OF all eastern
South Carolina. and experiments In
farm methods and plant breeding
made here would be under conditions
more near the mean average than
could be obtained elsewhere. The re-
suits obtained and lessons learned
from experimentation in Sumter
county would be as valuable to farm
ers In Richland Orangeburg and Will
iiamsburg as Sumter. Lee. Clarendon.
Florence. Darlington. Marlboro. Dill
fon. and Marion. An examination of
che soil survey map made three years
ago shows that Sumter county con-
tains a great variety of soils and that
these several types are typical OF the
soils to be found in all other Eastern
Carolina counties, and II would be
possible TO select a farm. guided by
the data supplied by this soil survey
map. that contains all the typical
kinds Of soil. This may not be pos
sible In any other county. and for this
and other reasons Sumter county is
the place for the Pee Dee Experiment
Station.

That was good letter of Mr.. l.. w.
Warren's in our last issue about
school libraries. This reighborhood
has been signally blessed in this re-
spect in having the fine library of
Brick church to draw upon. But
even this could be improved for
school purposes by the a EDITION of
standard works of reference.
This is another way in which the
local farmers union can be a power
for good in every community. I'm
der the law the patrons must raise
$1,000, then the school district adds
$1,000 and the county board $1,000
from the general school fund, and
then the State superintendent draws
on the State Treasury for $1,000.
making $4,000 to begin with. BY
having these libraries selected by a
central committee, and by swapping
from school to school, a great many
books can be secured at small cost.
Ihere is one more or less serious OBJ
lection to this system, and that is the
transmission of disease Some fumi-
eating and disinfecting system should
be adopted to safeguard the public
health. Nor would disinfccting be a
bad idea for ali library books. In
this day, when SO much is being writ
ten about health and individual
drinking cups, it is surprising that
there has not been started n crusade
for disinfccting books. Books prob
ably are germ catchers equal to pa
