Just as the minister was about to

ruined dinner and smoky kitchen
stared her in the face. She borrowed
pencil from the young man in the

murmured Hurry" she thrust 1t
into the hand of her husband, an ush-

an saw the act in speechless horror
and shuddered as she saw the min
lister smilingly open the note and be-

dismay was fully equaled by the look
of amazement and wrath on the good
mans face as he read the words: &C

ECZEMA DlSFlGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

1.-The rapid developments of public

first, an exhaustive knowledge of the
subject; second, thorough knowledge
Of the country and it's citizens; and
personal efficiency and personal char

I'm. the early days. Of the United
States Forest Service, I was frequent

from European countries where the
profession had reached high Develop

FOR NAVAL USE.

Washington, Feb, 10--A new prob
lem Ia the advancement of the utility
Of the aeroplane as an adjunct to the
navy in warfare has revealed itself
to naval officers who studied the cir
cumstances Of Aviator McCurdy's at
tempted flight from Key West to Ha-
vana.
When the aviator was obliged to de-
scend and alighted on the water, his
aerop1ane being sustained on the sur
face by pontoons, it was a simple
matter for boats from q torpedo de-
attempt was made to raise the ma
chinery from the water to the deck,
difficulties were encountered which re-
suited In badly battering the biplane.
It followed that the machine was rem,
dered useless. and it was impossible
from the deck. Had the machine
been brought aboard uninjured, this
would have been quite feasible, as a
platform had been constructed on the
deck Of the Pauldfng for this very pur-
pose.
aeroplanes can be raised from water to
deck without damage, their usefulness
will be cut In half. Consequently. at
tention is now being given to the de-
vising Of some means to accomplish
this end.
The experience with Mccurdy's ma
chine, which has bamboo frame, is
taken as an argument for the con-
struction OF aeroplanes with all-metal
framework. AS part OF the frame,
it Is also believed there should be
mast. or post. extending vertically
through the center OF the machine,
with a ring into which lifting tackle
could be hooked. Then, there would
be NO danger Of the machine break
fNR a. ffa own weight.
Navy officers consider this problem
as merely the next step in the pro.
gress Of the navy aeroplane. That it
will be satisfactorily solved. and that
in the near future, is not doubted.
