SAINT Inez ate up the Roth
mullers.
IN eight years they were liv-

tage on the edge Of the town,
Rothmuller making a buSi-
ness Of mending pumps, Mrs.
Rothmuller going out as a
nurse. Their farm was gone,
their mortgages were gone,
their shares in the creamery
and winery were gone. Their
only bank now was the china
teapot which was always at
the mercy OF any passing
stranger. 1t was in this adobe
hoyel that their fourth child
was born, a daughter whom
they named Christina.
Like many a child Of pio-
nccrs, she seemed to be Of diff
fcrent clay from her parents.
They were heavy featured,
slow moving peasants, thick
anklcd, thick wasted, thick
wristed, the human work ami
nal Of Northern Europe,
scarcely altered by six genera
tions in America. Rothmuller
looked like the pictures made
so familiar to us by the Boer
War, a shaggy bearded, pow
erful man, with enormous
hands and an expression OF
bovine obstinacy. Mrs. Roth
muller, ford and motherly,
billowcd expansively in her
cotton dress; and her homely,
kindly face could never have
been pretty even in her youth.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR

II think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard Of. My mother had child
who had a rash ON It's head when IL
was real young. Doctor called II baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but II
did no good. In few days the head
was solid mass; a running sore. II
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got dollar bottle Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, a box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and bar Of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and It has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had beautiful head Of hair.
| think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. 1t makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair

Consumption Spreads in Syria.

Consumptives in Syria are treated
today much in the same way as the
years. tuberculosis is a comparative
ly recent disease among the Arabs and
Syrians, but so rapidly has It spread
that the natives are In great fear OF
1t. Consequently when a member Of
a family is known to have the disease,
he Is frequently cast out and compelled
to die OF exposure and want. A small
hospital for consumptives has been
opened at Beyrout under the direction
OF DR.. Mary p. Eddy.

a small city in itself. II was not nee
essary for it's fortunate tenants TO
leave It unless they were so minded.
Everything for their comfort and
pleasure was to be had without taking
the trouble to go out OF doors. On
the ground floor were shops of all
kinds. which catered only to the
Astruria's patrons. There were also
on the premises a bank, a brokers
office, hairdresser. and a postal tele-
graph Office. A special feature was
the garden court, containing over 30,-
900 square feet OF open space, and
tastefully laid out with palms and
flowers. Here fountains splashed and
an orchestra played while the patrons
lounged on comfortable rattan chairs
or gossiped with their friends. Up on
the sixteenth floor was the cool roof
garden, an exquisite bower OF palms
and roses artificially painted by a
famous French artist, with its rech-
