LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, l became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affiction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being intiamed
most of the time. There would be
Water-blisterS rise up and open and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and WOuld
burn and itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
ditiOn continued for four or five years
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all his time Of boils and
eczema, l doctored with the best ply
siCians Of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice Improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until | was
well again, and have not had a re-
currence of the trouble since, which 1s
over twenty years. I have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases
(Signed) A. G. Brandon, Attorney-at-
Law, Greenville, O., IAN. II, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cua-
cura," Dept. 3 x, Boston.

Air Bubbles PrcpeI Boats.

Inventor Schroeder, an Australian,
has devised a system of prOpeIIing
boats by air bubbles. His idea is to
force air through a system OF holes in
the bottom of the vessel, which are
so arranged that there is practically
an air cushion between the bottom
and the water. Only small engine
power is required, as the inventor
does not rely on the forcible expulsion
of air for his motive power, but on
the lifting power Of the air bubbles
themselves. By shutting off the air
from some of the holes near the stern.
the bow can be made to rise so that
the ship goes astern. The boats are
expected to be able to travel at I'M
heard of speeds, and are non-capsiz-
able. The invention has already been
tested by the admiralty experts.

WONDERS OF MODERN CLOCK
Inventive Minds Shown In ingenious
Makeup Of Some Of Automatic
TImepieces Just Invented.

Grandfather's clock is OutdOne 1t
had a calendar hand which told the
day of the month. also the day OF he
week. Sometimes a window was cut
IN the upper part Of the dial through
which could be seen a humanized
moon face slowly moving across the
opening and giving the phases OF he
moon. In most cases If h calendar
mechanism was not out of order he
moor mechanism certainly was, and
in the evening one could rarely tell
which date it was because the han
was about half way between.
The first of the month the calendar
hand had to be set for the correct
number of days-thirty or t~hirty-one
or twenty-cight. The modern calen-
dar clock takes are Of these matters
automatically. Every four years 1t
automatically adds another day to
February. 1t needs winding only once
a year.
Few persons consider the clock as
a piece of machinery, especially when
gotten up in the cheap forms which
are now so universal. But the prin-
Cipal clock builders employ skilled en-
g,neers, electrical and mechanical,
whose inventive minds are shown in
the ingenious makeup of some OF the
automatic clock devices which are be
coming more n more commercially
popular in the effort to provide uni
form standard time throughout the
country. If simultaneous actions In
different parts of a large establish
men are dependent upon the clock,
all the clocks in the different depart
ments must tell exactly the same
time. BY the old way there were used
many high grade clocks, each eXpen-
sivp and even then liable to vary from
each other. The modern way is to in
stall one high-grade master clock,
which automatically regulates any
number of secondary clocks through
out the establishment. SO that all
exactly agree.

ton Of fully $50, 900, only 70, or less
than one-third, make any provision

this, too, in spite Of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this dis
ease is very high among this class of
people. Such is the substance Of a
statement made recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis. Seventy
hospitals in % states. providing all

In taking photographs while travel

necessary to bring all the plates or
films home for development, owing to
lack OF darkroom facilities. a Mis-
souri, man has circumvented this by
~inventing a camera that is also a
dark room and the owner Of which
can develop his plates practically any
where he chooses. The camera prop
er is of the bellows type and IS set
in one end of a box much larger than
would be required to hold it. 1t rests
on a hinged dOor when extended. The
box has a pIateholder in the front end,
