IN OBEDIENCE 70 ORDERS
French Boy Caused Metriment by
Taking the Order Of the Court
Too Literally.

A droll incident is reported as hav-

vincial appeal courts, In France. A
boy, about IA. was summoned to give
evidence. and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president. and taking out the citation

When Mr.. Goodacre began his task
he took great sheet of paper, placed
a compass point in the middle and
drew circle II inches in diameter.
All the space outside this he black
ened over with India ink. The next
thing was to rule within the circle
about 10000 tiny squares, and to
make notes of 1,433 measured points.
All this was done to insure correct

kind. three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
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 that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a 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 Is
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
flled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire tho denuded skin. New
vesicles form. nll and burst. scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to

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 more than a generation,
these pure. sweet and gentle emolli-

TWO PROMINENT BIRD MEN COM
ING TO BOISE.

Boise has secured the services of
two of the leading aviators i'm the
world today, who will come there di-
rect from the International Aviation
Meet at Salt Lake City.
Walter Rrookins, representing the
Wright Company, lis best known prob
ably as the originator of the famous
Spiral Dip" which resulted last year
i'm the death of Johnson at Denver.
He is pupil of the Wright Broth
ers and i'm September 1910 made one
of the longest aeropDane Journeys on
record, flying from Chicago to Spring
field, IIlinois-192h Understanding
the prize of 100000 He lis a fear
less aviator and never knows when
he may make worlds record.
Eugene Ely, representing the Cur
tiss Company, has done some of the
finest class of work ever shown i'm
the air. Only few weeks ago he
flew from the shore of the San Fran
cisco Bay onto the deck of BATTLE
ship anchored in theharbor. While
not as daring by nature as Walter
Brookins, he ds one of the most sue
cessful aviators i'm the world.
These two men, representing two
rival schools, will be in competition
with each other at Boise and when
ever they meet records may be ex-
pected. 1t is practically assured that
the United States Government will
detail an officer to be present at the
Boise Meet with his Paragraph ard
other Instruments for recording speed
and altitude, so that the records
made i'm Boise will have official stand
ing throughout the world.
AIN of the railroads will offer re-
duced rates during the aviation meet
from all points lin Idaho and Spo-
kane and intermediate points.
