HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

''I am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that 1 could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. l called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. could get nothing to do any
good till got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake Of Cuu-
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite sore since. l would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbor's children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So. Eff

The money to purchase the talking
machines and pianos is raised by SUBJ
scription or assessment of the ships
company and Jack, with proverblal
prodigallty always insists upon the
best instrument obtainable regardless
of price In similar manner funds are
raised for the purchase at regular in
tervals of new supplies of phonograph
records and player piano rolls but oft
times the bluejackets will make indi-
vidual purchases on their own hook
and donate the new acquisitions to the
ship Especially is this the case with
phonograph records and the haste
manifested by the boys embraces ev-
erything from grand opera by world
famous singers to the latest topical
songs by vaudeville favorites. The
ships of the navy also have an lex
change" system whereby records and
rolls. alike to moving picture films,
are exchanged in order to give the
men on each vessel the widest possi-
BILE variety.

sic quite aside from that contributed
by the band AS might be expected
floating community of from 500 to
1000 men includes many musicians
and they are seldom loath to display
their accomplishments for the benefit
of their shipmates. Among the boys,
banjos, guitars and mandolins are the
favorite instruments but there are a
number of violins and other instru-
ments. On some ships the boys have
formed glee clubs, whose songs, usu-
ally specially composed. are distinct
aid to the program at the minstrel
shows and other entertainments held
on shipboard from time to time.
After all, however, the greatest en-
thusiasm aroused by any form of mu-
sic on shipboard is that evoked by the
comparatively new mediums, the
phonograph and the player piano

that Jacks pastimes are of the
wholesouled, healthful sort that
refresh him in mind and body
as we'll as amuse him. Music
plays most important part in the
lighter side of life in the American
navy, both as the accompaniment of
the frolics of all kinds and as an en-
tertainer In itself.
The foremost factor In the musical
resources of a U. s. warship is, of
course, the ships band which may
number anywhere from a dozen to six
teen pieces and is made up of men
regularly enlisted as musicians. The
bandsmen, perhaps because they de-
vote their entire time to the musical
for practise are almost invariably
skilled musicians and their ensemble
work is excellent. Not only do they
play on all festal occasions on ship
board and in the parades on shore but
their music is also brought into re-
QUESTION at times to hearten Jack for
his work, notably on the occasion of

ship" While the bluejackets, hot and
grimy, are hoisting the fuel aboard,
the band is stationed on deck dis
coursing the liveliest airs to keep
their spirits from tagging.
The band also gives daily concerts
on board, sometimes several times a
day, but probably the one that is en-
joyed most by the Jackies is the re-
cital at the noon hour for half an hour
following the midday meal. The Sc
lections are almost always of the most
enlivening character,-waltzes and
two steps.-and numbers of the boys
dance on deck during this interim. In

sr sctacle in the routine of naval life
than that afforded by the tars In their

The Worlds Greatest Oil Well

the well was spouting oil at the rate

yield rose to 10000 barrels. varying
usually from 10000 to $4,000. Occa-
sionally, for a few hours, the well
produced at the rate of 10000 barrels
