From Life
Men are not capable Of telling the
truth about women OF Of understanding
what the truth Is. because they are
handicapped by their sex. The few men
who have managed to forget the sex
part have gone TO the other extreme.

loud curses. as, for example. Shopen-

truth about women Is impossible Cor

There Is no one who understands the
situation ia the Marine Corps who will
doubt for a moment that there was
necessity-and urgent necessity, at that
for a change.
Incidentally something should be done.
now that the government is in reform
atory mood. TO regulate Official lnspec-
tons. especially In the army and navy.
omcers are found journeying to attEc-
tive localities at certain seasons of the
year. and In some instances the ostensi-
bic occasion Is so paipably a trivial ex-
cuse for a personal excursion as TO be.
aside from its expense. a Joke.
Coming back TO the Marine Corps situ-
alton. those who now entertain griev-
ance will probably realize, before Con-
gress comes together again in December.
that there is very little to be said in
behalf Of the Marine Corps situation to
justify Congressional action. It is hardly
the occasion for an investigation by con-
gress. and assuredly the President has
the authority TO order officers here and
there upon whatever duty he wishes 20
employ them. regardless Of their own de-
sires or preferences, or their own con-
ceptlon OF what is lust" to them. II It
were not so. the military-navaI personnel
would be running the President" and
there would be a spectacle Of lnsubordl-
nation which would make the late Marine
Corps administration appear as a model
OF obedience.
1t is dangerous for Congress TO NEEDLE

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

T had eczema on my hands for ten years. 1 had three good doctors but none of them did any good. l then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time l had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly ad- wise them to fool with nothing else, but get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now.
 My daughters hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cuti- eura. She used Cutieura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it always proved suc- cessful. Mrs. Nj. E.

INDIANS PROFIT

NEW ERA OF WHOLESOME LEG iSLATION FOR WARDS OF

Lawyers Fees in the Last 10 Years Are Said to Have Cost the

McAlester. Okla.-T!,at a new era of wholesome legislation by congress has dawned for the Indians as q re suit of the congressional investiga ton into the McMurray contracts is the belief general among senators congressman and other officials of the government attending the inyestiga ton of Senator Cores charges of at tempted bribery in connection with the sale of Indian lands
 Vice President Sherman's name has been eliminated from the hearng op the charges of bribery, at the request of Senator Gore, who stated that he he mentioned his name under protest
 The story told on the stand by Green McCurtain, chief of 1S,00C Choctaws and a venerable fighter of Pioneer days, made deep imprea sion. Chief McCurtain told how his tribe year after year had waited for the government to sell their lands and how at last the Indians, becoming dis couraged, had become the prey of at t0rneys, whose promises were more glowing than those of the government.
 It cost his tribe in the last 10 years, MeCurtain related, $300,000 in attor- neys' fees, besides a share in the $750,000 fee paid to the McMurray firm several years ago in the citizen ship cases involving the Choctaws and Chickasaws.

Contract Is Let for Reclair7,ing
 SWanp Land
A Hundred Square Miles of Mississippi County Land Will Be Drained. "a -

Memphis, Tenn.-A contract for the reclamation of nearly a hundred square miles of Arkansas bottom land has been let by W. E. Ayres of Mem phis, engineer in charge of the work, to the firm of Kochtitsky & Crum- becker of Cape Girardeau, Mo.
 The drainage contemplated will be promoted in Mississippi county a short distance south of Osceola. l. will be the first big project of this nature actually started since the IF, ception of the movement to convert the large acreage of Arkansas swamp into a fertile valley of farm land.
 It is estimated that the drainage proposition in Mississippi county will cost in the neighborhood of $265, ,00O and it will make available to cultiya- tion over 60,000 acres of the most areable soil in the United States.
 The tract to be drained already has proven it's productive value, as aboue 50 per cent of the area in question for the past several years has been under diversified cultivation. Ere quently inundations, however, have rendered constant tillage in this sec tion impossible, but with the present leyee protection and the land thor oughIy drained, it is declared that farmers will be able to follow all four seasons of the year.
 The drainage movement in Arkan- sas is practically new. It has the support of Memphis business men and the Business Mems Club An ac, was passed by the Arkansas legisia- ture recently enabling each county, upon vote of the property owners, to organize a drainage district
 With the organization of the draiI age district under the provisions of the same act, the county is empow cred to levy tax for reclamation purposes and every taxpayer in the district is assessed according 10 the courty's individual system.
 Smaller drainage schemes have been tested in Jefferson, Poinsett, Clay aIi Green counties, but all of them have been little more than experiments. The one in Mississippi county is the first of any consequence that has been attempted in the state and is really the first gun of the Arkansas active campaign to trade off her sWlmps for valuable farm lands.
