ECZEMA GONE, BoILs CURED

MY son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaking-out on his,
cheeks, from which a watery sub

arms, shoulders and breast broke out

scab. l became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once Pro-

BEAVERS BUILD BETTER
DAM Than ENGINEERS
Lake They Have Formed at
stanhope, N. j., Enhances
Value of Cottagers' Property.
From the New York World.

NllO AVN" Ivan -
Beavers have just finished making a
lake at Stanhope, N. j.. and cottagers
who went down there for Thanksgiving
report that the addition has SO beauti-
fled the landscape that their property is
worth at least SO per cent. more than it
was at the end of the summer vaca-
ton.
They had themselves tried to do
! something in his line of improvement,
but the project on which they prided
themselves a few months ago was a
pigmy affair by comparison, and every
cottager now takes off his hat to the
superior Ill of the paddle-tail artists
who la been at work.
Plans to make an Arcadia Of STAN
hope included a large sheet of water in
place of the half acre puddle which the
beavers had ~impounded by means of a
dam. Everybody Clipped in to pay
landscape engineers to go there and lay
the thing out.
Expert opinion was unanimous that
the beavers had shown good Judgment
IN locating the dam and hat h de-
sired result might be obtained by erect
ing a higher barrier on the same site.
So the beaver dam came down to make
and concrete. The bill was large, but
the summer colony thought the i'm
provement worth the money.
While the cottages remained open the
beavers lay low. out as soon as they
were closed work began on another
beaver dam below the creation of the
engineers. 1t had to be higher to hold
the overflow and in so building it the
human dam was gradually submerged.
There is now two feet of water over it.
The new beaver dam, however, has
unclaimed enough water to make a real
lake, while the engineers had provided
little more than an ornamental pond.
Vt also looks as if nature had put il
mere. The other was plainly artifciaN

To Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should he observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds Of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange our colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still, a soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the f1owers-nat the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or, according to the flowers arranged
in them.

The Mans Woman.

SG~AS
A. well known essayist who usually falls
uEen immortal truths not by strenuous
off1rt, but by a certain child-like faith in
Coo or man or life, says:
"The most important of woman's rights
is the right to lave children of her own
ana TO raise then" Too large a propor-
efon of our women" he adds, "for one rea-
son and another do not marry, and go to
thelr graves an honorable and useful but
pathetic procession of women deprived OF
their birthright."
rms Is what he says. and then with tle
inconsistency usually attributed to the
other sex, he insists that the present
regime must continue, that, fortunately
Tor humanity, a great conservative force
VIII mold any progressive movement in
check, and with the cheerful acouiescence
which Is his distinguishing feature and
one OF his charms. he gazes smilingly at
the honorable and useful but athletic
procession" marching to their graves. :,
NO good woman will question Mr.. Mar
tin's first statement. There are only two
classes of women who set other ideals
ahead of that of having children. train
ing them we'll, making them healthy ana
honorable, able-bodied and high-mfnded.
and giving them hope enough to meet life
with. There are only two classes wiHinu
to set any other ambition ahead of this:
the pampered and the prostituted.
There has always been a certain diyerp,
ehce between the mans ideaI of woman
and the woman's ideal of herself, and Il
would be unwise to lose sight Of the fact
That If the woman in making herself the
woman she believes she ought to be, is
about to lose the respect or the honor
or the love of man, the purposes Of +ha
race are being thwsrted again. 1t is Inn
possible to make a canvass Of middle aged
couples to find out which Kind of married
woman has held her husbands allegiance

we may call the ornamental dolls, or the
class who looked upon themselves as re-
sponsible beings.

PROBING RAILWAY RATES.
Complaints Regarding Transporta.

CHICAGO. September i. = Interstate
Commerce Commissioner {. a. Prouty Is
expected here today to begin Wednesday
series of hearings in the general inves
tigation of alleged unreasonable rates aud
ractices in the transportation of wool
hides and pelts from various western
producing points to the eastern markets
Following four or five days of hearings
the inquiry. which will he nation wide in
its scope. will be continued at Albuquerque.
Denver. Salt Lake City, Phoenix and
Portland All Of the transcontinental rail-
roads are defendants in the case, and a
score of prominent traffic officials. as well
as wool shippers. from all parts of the
west are expected as witnesses.
The investigation has been undertaken
on the commissioners own initiative, fol-
lowing many protests concerning the
present rate adjustment from the wool
shippers. Although the main complaint
concerns the adjustment of rates as be-
tween competing wool communities and
markets. the wool interests are seeking
general reduction of their rates from
second to fourth class. From Utah COM
mon points this would give a reduction
from S1.651s to S19 per 100 pounds to

BRITAIN IS CONFIDENT.
Hopes to Capture Motor Race Today
in Trophy Contest.

HUNTINGTON. l.. l., September 3
Machinists and motor boat racing experts
worked most of the night on the Duke OF
Westminster's Pioneer. the last hope OF
the English to capture the Harmsworth
trophy. and it was reported on Hunting
ton bay that the Britishers had some
thing up their sleeve for today's contest.
1t was said In the English camp that
the Pioneers sparkling arrangement was
not working satisfactorily in yesterday $
race, when the American boat Dixie ~
distanced her so seconds in three knots.
But today it was said that the Pioneer
was perfect and that she might be ex-
pected to live up to her reputation OF
forty-eight miles an hour. For that rea-
son a stirring contest was anticipated.
If the Dixie or one of her American
teammates, the Disturber III or the Viva.
wins today's race, which was scheduled
to start at = pm, the international
championship will remain in this coun-
try for at least another year. 1t will
make seven consecutive times America
has successfully defended the priced
trophy.
If the Pioneer. the only English boat
in today's race, wins, the race to decide
the tie will be held tomorrow.

LESSON IN NEAR TRAGEDY.
Vessels Cannot Be Singled Out as
Targets at Great Distances.

A valuable lesson for use in war has
been drawn by the naval experts from
the report that the dreadnought Della
ware, through mistake, fired at the re-
pair ship Panther. instead of at the old
battleship San Marcos, in the ordnance
experiments in Chesapeake bay few
days ago.
The fact that the Delaware lost it's
target and pointed its gun at a vessel
anchored 1909 yards from the San Mar
eos demonstrates. 1t is claimed. that a
ship in battle will not be able to center
its fire upon any particular vessel of the
enemy at the great range at which
future combats will be waged-say $1,000
yards. However carefully commander
may draw his plans. they may go awry If
he endeavors to match ship to ship of the
opposing forces. Whenever an enemy s
fleet appears upon the horizon. some ex-
perts contend, the warships must open
fire upon any and all of them.
The reported mistake of the Delaware
has served to increase the apprehension
which invariably pervades the Navy De-
partment during the target practice period
that some serious mishap may mar the
exercises.
While there have been many narrow
escapes in the past. there has never been
an accident to a naval or merchant vessel
through lack of precaution or instructed
fire.
The Atlantic fleet is now OF the Chesa-
peake capes demolishing targets. EX-
traordinarys care is being taken to see
that merchant steamers are Kept out OF
range.

The Cost of Smoke.
From Harper's.


About O per cent of the coal that fills
the firebox of the locomotive actually
drives it across the country. The rest
is wasted Not more than 10 per cent of
the fuel value of their coal is consumed in
the furnaces Of manufacturing plants. The
rain CT cinders from the stack of the loco
motive, the pillar Of black smoke from
the factory chimney. account conspicu-
ously for part of the waste. But these
are minor losses. The chief difficulty
lies In the failure to use the combustlble
gases that arise from the burning coal.
They are either allowed to escape unig-
nited, or are discharged without having
done any service beneath the boilers. TO
expend their heat on the air. The geo
logical survey has estimated that the
smoke nuisance costs the country,
through waste of fuel. injury to nier-
chandise and unnecessary labor caused by

There is moreover. an undeniable menace
to the public health through the polluted
air of great manufacturing towns. Much
of this tremendous economic waste -
at present unavoidable. because We have
not learned how to utilize the energy OF
coal directly. Steam. and often electricity
as we'll, must be generated before tne
power can be applied. But there are I'M
