England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food and climate, and gave more medicine. The rash got no better. and it used to itch and burn at night so bad that the child could not sleep. He was completely covered with 1t at different times. It was at this time that my mother advised us to try Cutcura Soap and Ointment. After using Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for about nine months the places disappeared.

THE OPIUM WAR IN CHINA.

China is waging successful war against
the use OF opium. Ii is moral war such
as has seldom been waged since the dawn
Of civilization What is little short Of a
miracle is being wrought in the thousand
walled cities and the million hamlets OF
the vast and ancient empire.
The truth OF this assertion can be realized
only by one who knows how enormous a
task the Chinese government has under
taken in trying 10 stop the raising Of the
poppy. II would be easier for the govern
ment Of the United States TO stop the peo-
pie in the Middle West from raising corn
or the people in the South from raising cot
ton: for the region throughout which the
poppy has been cultivated is greater in
area than the whole Of our country.
Although the opposition TO the govern
unscrupulous as 20 be described Is both
Titanic and Satanic" the crop has already
been reduced by a half, and hope is high
that by 1914 the traffic will be wholly ex-
tinct
Of Great Britain. Although the English
face an enormous financial sacrihce in the
iao opium. they are now uncOmprOiElslngly
euDuOrting the crusade against ar evil
which not many years ago, they were only
too willing 10 encourage.

EGYPT'S WINGED THIEVES
Crows and Kites Experts in the Lar

The Partisan schoolmaster who was re-
Gently robbed near Geneva by an eagle
would find, if he came to Cairo, that SINH
lar episodes were of everyday occurrence
IL is true that the depredators are not
eagles, but they are very near relations"
writes a correspondent of 1.-The Pail Mall
Gazette" from Cairo.
"Out at Gezira. where all Cairo has. its
rendezvous at the Sporting Club every
afternoon in and out OF season. there exist
large colonies OF kites and crows. No
sooner are the tea tables laid out than the
former, who have been perched on the adj
jacent trees. start circling round and round.
With a sudden dive one of these hawklike
birds will swoop down on the table he has
chosen and pick off the bread and butter
and cake.
New arrivals in Egypt are always very
disconnected by these antics. II matters
not how many people are seated around
the tables The kite is no respecter OF per-
sons. and on one crowded afternoon last
season. when the German Crown Princess
was taking tea, remember seeing no fewer
than eight tables swept OF their eatabes
by as many kites in the space OF a few
minutes.
These monster birds add to the ter
ror which they strike to the heart OF the
new arrival by the fact that their flight Is
so sudden and the theft Is committed with
out stopping. They describe curve. the
low est point OF which is the plate OF bread
and butter or cake. and so accurate Is
their descent that rarely do they leave or
drop ANYTHING. An amusing FACTOR In this
otherwise rather annoying situation is fur
nished by the crows. who invariably act as
reptts tho Kites and the presence
whom, hopping about the grass, always
precedes one OF these deprcdatory flights.

discusses the matter and describes the
methods taken 10 disinfect the swimming

course, danger Of Infection from a pool used
by many In which the bacterial content Is
not frequently destroyed or greatly reduced

that, as filtration in the manner In which

the question on account OF the expense.
