London.-The borrower" who has

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Arrangements for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "a Million for Tuber-
culosis" will be the slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in
former ,Cars, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds of the
sales. The charge to local associa-
lions for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 1914 per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber-
culosis work in all parts of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig-
mated as Red Cross Seals" this year
and are to be placed on the back OF
letter instead of on the front.

Paris-"There is enough gold float
ing In the sea to make everybody rich
and consequently happy"
This information is the result of an
analysis of ocean water recently I'm.
ished by Alphonse-Bergert, professor
in the ocean-ographic institute.
1.-The analysis revealed about fifty
milligrams (.77 grain) of gold in each
ton of sea water" explained the pro-
fessor. That seems little enough, but
considering that it takes line of fig-
ures a column wide to give the total
number of tons of water in the ocean
It is easy to see that an immense
amount of gold is held in solution. If
each of the 1.500.000,00O inhabitants
of the world had his share 1t would
equal S24,000,000 apiece. What beau
tiful ending to all difficulties"
Are there other precious minerals
IN the sea-" the professor was asked.
YES" he replied. there are ten
milligrams of silver in every ton of
sea water, hence the total is about 50,-
900 times the amount taken from the
earth since the discovery of America.
There are about sixteen grams Zone
half ounce) of salt in each pound of
sea water"

TINY BABY'S PlTIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top Of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw.
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. she is fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes OF Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-

elderly lady who never attended
dances, but she generally complied
with the requests of her friends, who
had smart little houses lacking in
space
Each season about a dozen large
dances were held at her mansion.
Last summer. however, one borrower
went too far; she did not play the
game. and she had all the bills for the

them, but has never lent her house to
any one since.
