Curious Little Treatise on Aerial Navt

Author Turns Up.

A curious little book has turned up
An old, old treatise on ae~ronautics
by Jean Jacques Rousseau called lie
Nouveau Dedale." Like Leonardo da
vinci and Cyrano de Bergerac, Rous-
seau was haunted by the dream OF
aerial navigation. We read: Men
walk on the earth, they sail on the
water and swim In 1t. Is not the air
an element, like the others? What
business have the birds to shut us out
of their premises, while we are made
welcome In those of the fishes" Rous-
e took no stock In any theories pro-
pounded by the Darius Greens OF his
day. He sifted the matter for himself,
and thought 1t involved two problems.
First. to find a body lighter than air,
so that 1t would rise. He imagined
that sooner or later such a body might
present itself. There was no telling.
But what stumped him was his second
problem-how to make that obliging
body stop rising, and how In creation
to make 1t come down. This was too
tough for Jean jacques. and he wound
up his book by admitting 1t. Fol a

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

IT have seer the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, l always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case In
particular was that of a lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was af-
f1icted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. l told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only set she was
perfectly we'll.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
I have also seen them cure children
IF ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck land after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and l used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas 1t was quite stiff before
l began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an improving toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side Of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. I cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago 1 had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. 1 have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she Is pleased
with the results and is recovering

BENEFICIAL RAINS.

The second rain storm of the sea-
son occurred Tuesday and while it
was not heavy as that of the night be-
fore, it continued longer and great
er amount of moisture fell The
shower Sunday night caused abun-
dant rejoicing which continued all
day, and this morning everybody
looked pleased over the second rain
storm. Just how much good this
moisture will do to the crops, which
are not yet matured, 1t hard to say
but from inquiries among those who
ought to know, no damage has yet
been done. DR.. Flanagan, one OF the
largest hop growers in the county,
says that no harm has so far resulted
to hops and it not likely to continue
long enough to mildew the crop or
do other injury. Forest fires have
been extinguished not only in jose
phine and Jackson counties but all
over the state and the fire fighters
have returned to their homes. The
dust which has covered the entire
Rogue River valley, has been wet
down to an extent that will make the
travelling most agreeable. The hu-
midity which generally prevails is
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
