Christ has given us measure
Of greatness which eliminates
conflicts. When His disciples
disputed among themselves as to
which should be greatest in the
Kingdom of Heaven, He rebuked
them and said, Let him who
would be chlefest among you be
the servant of all. Rervice is
the measure of greatness; it all
ways has been true, it is true
today. and it always will be true,
that be is greatest who does the
most OF good. And yet, whrt a
revolution it will work in this old
world when this standard be-
comes the standard of every life.
Nearly all of our controversies
and combats prise from the fact
that we are trying to get some
thing from each other-there
will be peace when our aim is to
do something for each other.
Our enmities and animosities
arise from our efforts to get as
much as possible out of the
world-there will be peace when
our endeavor is to put as much
as possible into the world. So
ciety will have taken an immeas-
urable step toward peace when
it estimates a citizen by his out
put rather than by his income
and gives the crown of its APP
proval to the one who makes the
largest contribution to the well
fare of all. From the Prince of
Peace.

 The profits that will accrue direct ly to the owner of swamp lands by reason of drainage, and to the states by reason of increasing the taxable value of lands within their borders. will be enormous.
 More than seventy million acres of land, now without value, except as to the timber they carry, by drainage transformed into hOmesteads, so fer tile that there is practically no limit to their productivity; value of the land increased from zero to fifty to one hundred dollars per acre. and many cases more-a farm of loo acres for each of seven hundred thou sand families, made available to the energetic man of the crowded city, and to the farmer who is struggling with a piece of wOrn-out barren land, each eking out an existence of penury. -lillS, IL occurs 10 iilt, IS t ppS~lbllil. that should not go long unaccom pliShed

RASH SO BAD BABY CAME NEAR DYING
Head Broke Out. Spread to Arms, Legs and Entire Body. ltched So He Would Scratch Until Blood Ran.
 One Box of Cuticura Ointment and
 Nearly One Cake of Cuticura Soap Cured Him. Has Had No Return.

"When my boy was about three months old, his head broke out with a rash which was very itchy and ran watery fluid. We tried every thing we could but he got worse all the time, til it spread to his arms. legs and then to his entire body. He got so bad that he came near dying. The rash would itch SO that he would scratch till the blood ran. and thin yeowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning had to put mittenS on his hands 10 prevent him tearing his skin. He was so weak and run down that he took fainting spells ss if he were dying. He was almost a skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws.
 60 He was bad about eight months when we tried CutiCura Remedies. l had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long while. l washed him with Cuticura Soap and put on one application of Cuticura Ointment and he was so sOoined that he could sleep. You don't know how glad was he felt better. IL took one box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty near one cake Of Cuticura Soap to cure him. l think our boy would have died but for the Cutlcurs Remedies and I shall always remain a frm friend of them. He was cured more than twenty years ago. and there has been no return Of the trouble. l shall be glad to have you publish this true statement of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. NJ. C.
