very badly. When my children had
eczema, I was not worried at all, as
I knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads. their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had it on their heads,
face, and in back Of the ears so that ]
thought their ears would drop OF. I

ALMOST CAPTURED BIG PRIZE
McCurdy Was Within Ten Miles Of
Havana When the Lubricatinq
Oil Gave Out.

Aboard the Paulding seaman, hav-
ing no glasses at all, shouted:
There he isl"
There he was, two streaks of black
against the sky. He had come over
the slow boats, passed all the Destroy
ers except the Paulding. and was sail
ing surely toward waiting Havana,
with only one destroyer-a mere ten

he was growing blacker and bigger

city was within sight.
And then

This was true. The man had
fallen. There was no bird-like speck
in the sky. The man had fallen. The
Paulding was already turning, at 20
knots, to pick him up; and the Terry
was steamlng straight on for the
same purpose. There had been an &C.
cident: the lubricating oil had slipped
away and the engine was burning to
pieces. There was nothing for it but
to descend; and this McCurdy did de-
liberately, waiting patiently, as he
stood on the seat of the airship, for
rescue. When a boat from the Terry
picked him up-the Paulding was only
a moment later-he said:
Dashed hard luck! Why, I could
see Havana!"
He was only ten miles of.
Dashed Hard luck" he repeated.
He hadn't wet his feet-Norman

Hence the future should bear part Of
the burden. There Is only one senci-
BILE, businesslike way to build good
roads, and that is, by state aid. where
by the state, preferably from long
time low rate bond issue, pays part Of
the expense, and the township issues
bonds, running from 20 to 80 years, for
it's part. In this way all the roads
needed in township-the main roads
can be improved at once, and the
payments spread over the present and
the coming generations.
BY building all at once from ten
to twenty per cent. can be saved in the
cost of the work, and the community
has the roads to use from tho start.
OF course interest must be paid on the
bonds, but against this goes the use of
the roads. If this is not worth more
than the interest it is better not to
build the roads. The road question is
big one and must be handled in q
big way.

1t is human nature to hunt for some
