THE SCOLD'S Birdie.
Brutal Punishment to Which Women
Were Once Subjected

The Drank, or scolds bride, or gos-
sips bride, was neither more nor less
than a muzzle. 1t was in general use
in Great Britain from the sixteenth to
the eighteenth century, and in Scot
land as well women were muZZled for
certain offenSeS, some at least of them
more imaginary than real. The instru-
ment OF torture, even dogs leather
muZZle, IS uncomfortable. How much
more the scold'S muZZle! 1t consisted,
according TO high authority, Mr.. W.
levitt, Of a kind of crown or frame
work Of iron, which was locked upon
the head, and II was armed in front
with gag, Il plate or a sharp cutting
knife or point. which was placed in the
poor woman's mouth so as to prevent
her moving her tongue, or 1t was so
placed that If she did move Ii or at

frightful manner. With this cage up

A Mystery Solved

For years medical men have been
seeking cure for ECZEMA the most
common and most stubborn of skin
diseases. Some said it Was blood
disease; some said it was the result OF
indigestion. 1t remained for one stndi-
Gus chemist to settle beyond any ques-
ton that eczema in many forms is a
skin disease and related in no way tn
disordered condition of the blood.
This same chemist experimental with
many antiseptic, healing and soothing
agents, but it was not until he formed
the compound Cadum that he at last
realized he had given to the world
something that would bring relief to
hundreds of sufferers. Cadum ranks
today with the great remedies of the
medical world. Its action is so posi-
tive that the itching of eczema is
stopped at once. People who have
itched and scratched for years find
sleep and rest soon after Cadum is
applied Cadum is sold by all drug
gists at Toe. e. csc. a box. 1t is for &C.
zema in all its forms, also for pimples
bi otches, itch. letter, scaly skin, erup-
tions, chafings, psoriasis, rash, sores

The farm buildings of Ziba keene,
located at the corner of the Thomaston
and Cony roads, narrowly escaped de-
struction by fire Monday afternoon.
ard were only saved through the tre
being discovered before it had gained
much Roadway. The fire was due to the
heating of pile of dressing behind
the barn and which ignited the boards
at the end of the building. 1t was seen
by Clarence II. Cram, driver for the
Soule Emporium, who was passing on
his team, and he and the men at work
on the farm succeeded in stopping the
blaze before it had done any damage.
