 Dr. Best testified he had treated Schenk for tonsilitis in September 1909, and also had attended him on other occasions. The doctor, answer ing the hypothetical question for the state, was of the opinion that the symptoms described were those oi lead and arsenic poisoning.

Muskogee. Ol,la.--The FER capita
wealth of the Indian is approximate
~ $3.50. that for other Americans is
only a little more than $1,000. The

our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema The lit

of that time, he seemed no better. l
became discouraged, and as had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, I dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in few days noticed marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
hollis which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer During the
time of teething and from the time I
dropped the doctors treatment, / used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT

be well, and feel that I owe great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies. y

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders OF
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation CON
tanning morphine or it's salts except
upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning it's passage. Caswell Mayo,
one of the druggists, said he had
made canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims of
drugs formed the habit as a result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

ROYALTY AS THE GODFATHER
Difficulty in Europe Successfully Over
come by the E&srcise Of Some
Diplomacy.

In the early days of the reign Of the
late King Leopold Of Belgium a sew
enth son was born to a Brussels wom-
an, and when the king heard of it and
was told that the boy was the seventh
successive one and that no girl had
come to the family, he asked to be the
baby's godfather Ever since then
every seventh son born in Brussels
has had the same honor, and the moth
ers have received gifts in keeping
with their station in life. King Al
bert, in carrying out the old adage a
short time ago, had some difficulty
because the seventh son was twins"
according to the Frankfurter Zeitung.
HE could not stand for both boys, be-
cause that would give the family two
Alberts. The remedy was found by
Queen Elizabeth, who suggested that
her little son, the duke of Brabant,
be the godfather of the eighth boy,
who consequently received the name
of Leopold"

INCREASE YIELD FE3 ACRE
Quantity Of Water Required 70 Pro
duce Grain Becomes Smaller as
Fertility Is improved.

One of the most important recent
discoveries in the handling of crops
and especially of grain is that in ref
erence to the relation of soil fertility
and moisture. Experiments have
brought proof that the quantity OF
water required to produce a bushel OF
grain becomes smaller as the fertility
Of the soil Increases. 1t requires twice
as much water to produce a bushel OF
grain on an infertile soil as it does Cd
fertile soil in good tilth. says the Kan
sas Farmer. Tests showing this re
suit have been made both in Europe
api America. In every case the more
fertile soil, either through tillage OF
the use Of manure or of commercial
fertilizers, the less the amount OF
water necessary for the production OF
each bushel Of grain
The greater portion of the plant food
In the soil is inert until by deep pillow
ing, thorough tillage and early prer~
ration 1t Is made available to the
plants. Such treatment holds moisture

bacteria in the soil. these bacteria

earth particles.
A wheat grower who gives his fields
the minimum amount Of tllage. only
sdisking his land. does little toward
making the fertility available and 2,00c
pounds of water or more may be re
CURED In his fields for each pound of

not enough to use the moisture to the
best advantage.

SAVING MOISTURE IN SOIL

In the saving of moisture in the
soil many of US are good deal like
the rabbit In the fable. In the winter
time he was always speaking of build
Ing house next summer. When sum
mer came and he was reminded of it,
he answered, Every bush is house
now" When agood shower comes we
ought to get the moisture into the soil
and keep 1t there. We have no assur-
ance that we will have more rain right
away; that there will be enough to rip
en- the crop. to put the soil in good con-
dition for blowing, to leave the soil
with good moisture content for next
spring. More can be done in the SO
hours following a rain than at any
other time. If the soil is too dry, then
save what little moisture is left. Re-
member that moisture cannot pass up
through loose soil.
