THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
 OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race
 Age and Condition.

Of all the diseases of the skin and 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 it's 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 skin disease. It 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 filled with an acrid fluid, which burns as with fire the denuded skin. New vesicles form, fill and burst, scales form upon scales, and crusts upon crusts until disfgurement is added to torture.
 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- ents have proved the most efficient agents in the speedy and permanent relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes, itchings and irritations of the skin and scalp. Although Cuticura soap and ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, in order that those who have suffered long and hopelessly and who have lost faith in everything may make trial of them without charge, liberal sample of each will be mailed free to any ad- dress. together with 32-page pamph- let, giving description and treatment of the various forms of eczema, as we'll as other affections of the skin, scalp. hair and hands-send to "Cuti- cura," Dept. w, Boston.

Poisoning From Food.

During recent years an increased number of cases of serious illness | have been traced to infected or con- taminated food. It may be there were as many cases in past years, but | their cause was not recognized At any rate, the increased consumption of canned meats and vegetables in creases the possibility of such condi tfons. Lack of rigid laws for the iH | spection of foods has permitted un scrupulous dealers to put on the mar ket foods not fit for consumption, but which, on account of their cheapness or attractive appearance, have been bought in large quantities by the poor CT classes This desire to buy things cheaply also causes people to purchase partly decayed fruits and vegetables.
 In the warm weather too much care cannot be exercised in the care of food material, especially meat and milk. Many cases of poisoning are traced to warmedover meats which had been kept too long, or to careless ly kept chicken salad, or contaminated fish.
 The symptoms of poisoning are nausea and vomiting, with sharp, griping intestinal pains. Headache, chilliness and dizziness often are present. There also may be consider able fever.
 The treatment is, first to clean out the intestinal tract with a good laxa- tive as castor oil or one-tenth grain of calomel, taken every half hour for ten doses, followed an hour later with a dose of epson salts. This must be done even though the bowels have moved several times, for it is neces- sary that all the irritating material be gotten rid of. The patient should be kept warm, heat being applied to the feet and abdomen Hot drinks, as ginger tea, tend to reduce the pain and also provide the necessary stimu- lation. Never give pain relievers" except on the advice of a physician, as these are usually very depressing to the heart and may be the Hast straw" more than the already de- pressed heart can stand. Do not delay too long in sending for a physician. as there is danger of collapse and 1t may be necessary to give powerful stimulants to tide over the crisis.

THE PRICE OF

Travelling through the stato ..,

That appeared to he his, O an ure Tor land upon which the ona on ns' depended upon the crops of corn haer has and cattle that could be raised n' noss 1t. But 1t wasn't. A few weota VI. apon the farm changed hands at soos s'-0o acre. Over in Illinois, down in Is ru diana. up in Wisconsin, across n M line In Minnesota, the same ovnsu, ' ence was met with. And thon n..f ot.an tion Is directed to Canada wbioh sl been the Mecca of so many hundred thousand Americans during tho noa. few years. Not only in Eastern Co., ' ada has the price of lands incroosas but in Western Canada, durino .h' past few weeks, farm lands have in. creased from three to five dollars an acre, with the prospect of a sim,Iar advance during the next three month. The reason for this is very annaron. and in few words it may be pointed out that the lands are worth groo, deal more than the present nr,co. The Northwestern Agriculturist ., Minneapolis. paper that was one q, the first of the American farm papers to discover the real merits of tbo lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, says: "The reciprocity sched. ule would encourage American farm. CTS to move to Canada, where the yir. gin soil will produce greater crops of grain with less labor than can be pro- duced in our own farms In the North. west. The result will be to enhance land values in Canada This paper Is afraid land values in Canada will be enhanced at the expense of land values in the United States In face of the fact that land values in the United States are increasing the req. soning scarcely holds. The reason for the advance in value of Canadian lands is partly accounted from the
 
 fact, admitted by this paper that Can ada's virgin soil will produce greater crops of grain with less labor" But that is not the only reason During the past twelve months 32O,OOO peo pie have made Canada their home and these are mostly of the farming class They want farms, and the demand as we'll as the wealth of the soil is regu- lating the price. A study of the in. crease in the acreage of land put un- der crop last year, which can be had from any Canadian government repre- sentative, will prove the point, that the demand Is increasing at greater ratio than even the most sanguine would have predicted.

HOME NURSING
Disorders of Children.

Diarrhoea is a disorder very com mon among children during the au- tumn months. It is attended by a high death rate, especially with chil- dren under two years of age.
 The cause is usually improper feed ing. The common practise among certain classes of people of feeding young babies various articles of food is very unwise. Up to the age of nine months baby needs nothing but milk and is able to digest very little else. Yet how often we see people feeding babies coffee. potatoes, meat and even things that are hard for & grown person to digest Babies fed entirely upon milk often become sick because proper attention has not been given to the care of the milk and bot ties. Cleanliness is certainly neces- sity here. With older children the diarrhoea is often caused by eating unriye or over-ripe fruit or vegetables.
 The symptoms are an increased number of bowel movements, attend ed by griping pains in the abdomen. They sometimes are accompanied by vomiting, headache and fever.
 The treatment is first to stop all food, and clean out the intestinal tract This can be done by giving an enema or injection of warm water or by giving a dose of castor oil. Some people are unable to understand why this should be done when there al ready have been numerous bowel movements. The diarrhoea is caused by some food that is remaining in the intestine and setting up an irritation. The irritating material must be re. moved before we can overcome the diarrhoea and we do this by means of an enema or dose of laxative. The child then should be kept quiet and warm. Heat applied to the feet and abdomen often will relieve the pain. A little peppermint water may be given to aid In expelling the gases, but nothing else should be given ex- cept on the advice of physician. Paregoric and various pain relievers should not be given as they nay be very injurious Many deaths are at. tributed to various soothing syrups which contain harmful drugs After the attack is over care should be taken with the diet. At first give only lit tie rice water or barley water.
 In young babies, collie and diarrhoea often are caused by giving sugar in various forms. A tiny baby gets thirsty hn does not quench this thi<st, so it should be give- - little warm water several times a day. Many mothers are not content to let we'll enough alone and put little sugar in the wa ter. This forms gas and causes collie and diarrhoea. In giving peppermint water to young babies it is not neces- sary to add sugar. Of course the pep permint water should be very weak,

The abolishment Of the offices of the
several auditors and deputy auditors for
the government departments and the
substitution therefor Of a general au-
ditor and. an assistant auditor are pro-
posed In q bill which Senator Kean Of
New Jersey introduced today.
The measure is in line with recon.
mendations made by officials of the
Treasury Department several days ago
1t was then proposed that this change in.
the auditing system OF the government
should be accomplished by provisions in
the legislative appropriation bill. The
committee on appropriations did not look
favorably. upon the plan for this year,
and therefore the present system Is con-
tinued except that the ofdces Of deputy
auditor are abolished.
The bill presented today would make. the
change effective year from July next.
The general auditor Is to be appointed by
the President. and is to be confirmed by
the Senate and will receive q salary OF
$4,000 per year. The assistant auditor Is
to get $4,000. and a chief clerk $4,000
Senator .Kean's bill was referred to the
committee on finances and 1t is under.
