Triumph Of COURAGE.

Courage and the power of the hu.
man eye" saved Walter Sargent, a
prosperous raneher, In the Redwood
district, San Jose, when he was con.
fronted by hungry mountain lion the
other evening. Sargent was driving
herd Of cows to his home in the
foothills, when he noticed the big cat
stalking him. AS 1t crouched for a
spring Sargent turned and fixed the
beast with his eye. Man and lion
remained as immovable as statues for
a few seconds and then the animal
turned and trotted away.

Dyspepsia. also, came to make life

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfigure man
kind, threefourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and 1t
Is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect In infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature. improper remedies and many
other causes thac might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is skin disease. 1t Is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, Is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and IL
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fiji and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added TO
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per-
son, Is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint-
ment. For moro than generation.
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents In the speedy and permanent
relief Of all forms Of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith In
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any ad-
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving description and treatment
of the various forms of eczema, as
well as other affections Of the skin.

Parents and chiIdren,s Faults.

Parents ought to collaborate with
teachers in helping to develop the
best In their children. and consequent
~ to eliminate the worst. Instead of
this view OF the matter we (says Ella
Wheeler Wilcox) find parents takinlS
a stand against the teacher who trieS
to talk of the faults of their children
and discuss remedy. and all the
work which the teacher has hoped to
do in character building falls to the
ground under the lifted hammer of the
unwise and belligerent parent, who In

Viewpoints

Editor the Missourian: Kansas
has municipal reference bureau at
her state University. Inquiries pour
in from mayors. cOuncilmen, commits
sioners and city attorneys from
all parts of the state. One
official writes for copies of gas
franchises granted by other towns,
as they want to avoid pitfalls that
companies lay for the unwary when
their new franchise is written.
Another wants to know how to rid
their town of the unsightly billboard
and asks for some model ordinances
that cover the weed nuisance, tree
trimming, etc.
The up-tO-dateness of Kansas
towns is probably explained in
this way. Why can't Missouri have
one at her University? 1t is true
that many times the questions could
not be answered in a day nor in a
week. perhaps. but their value to the
questiOner and for future reference
would compensate for the effort in
investigating civic conditions where
parallel ones have existed.

Then there are the trusts. They
are here, but We have govern

There is no constitution, state rights
or supreme court to hinder legisla-

election proves my argument. There
the trusts rule. Reciprocity is an
invitation to the trusts at home to
extend their operations to Canada"

who was running things, while the
boy wrote. Fielding, the father of
reciprocity, defeated"

think little of the purely agricultural

eastern United States. Drive out
from one of the older cities. Ten
miles out the farmers are prosperous.
Twenty miles out the farmers are
respectable. Thirty miles out the
farmers go with uncombed whiskers
and long-legged boots. Canada

Canada a purely agricultural
country, a producer of raw materials,
a Galicia or a Bukovina.
Reciprocity" he continued. lis
a raid on Canadian natural resources.
Look at the consumers of paper in
the United States. Why did VIM.
Randolph Hearst issue special Can

his own newsboys to Canadian cities

Teachers Who Inspired

The famous '95 football team is
the association that Prof. T. ]. Rod
house of the School of Engineering
has with one of his best-remembered
teachers.
Harry Cory was professor of
civil engineering and also manager of
that team,' said Mr.. Rodhouse,
when was under him in 1895.
That was my junior year. Fellows
on the team were my classmates, all
big men. and when We went to the
board to work our problems they
would look down at my work, and /
had to gaze up at them.
Cory was no intellectual genius;
he was rather a good mixer, and q
person who knew how to handle men.
1t was this part of him that made
him a success. He came here from
Cornell, and at % was a full profess
sor.
"Mr Cory has been working on
an irrigation enterprise in southern
California, the scene from which
Harold Bell Wright takes the setting
for his latest book. In disguise. he
may be one of the characters; his
nature was such that he would take
the author by the arm and tell him
to bunk in his cabin for time"
Mr.. Cory's marriage in Berkeley

things in the Liberal committee
rooms at Robin, Manitoba, on the
night of the Canadian elections.
Sentiment killed reciprocity, -
said Dillon. To-day l had two SELL
timents, one of the heart and one of
the pocket. The one sentiment said,
Vote for your old home and your old
felix's; the other said, Vote for your
new home and your pocket The
sentiments were equal in moving
power. l did not vote. But there is
Morton Furtney of Michigan; his
pocket won. If l can judge from
what | see on the bulletin board,
pocket beats heart now and forever,
amen. Look at the Calgary figures"
He pointed to what a boy was
writing in big letters in chalk, and
read slowly, Estimated majority for
Bennett, Conservatives, 4OOO."
THE Calgary vote" he continued,
lis largely American. How are you
going to explain the result? Pocket,
just pocket. Reciprocity has nothing
to offer us. Liverpool rules the wheat
market. The prices for most farm
products are higher on this side of
the line than on the other. 1t is to
England We must look for better
prices. The people of the old home
are our competitors. When we meet
them in trade, we will meet them in
