BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old.
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when 1 removed his
shirt
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson,
Mont, Jan. %, 1911. Although Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
sample of each, with 32-page book,

LITTLE RusE DIDN'T SUCCEED
Youngsters Scheme Was All Right,
But Economical Father Was
Match for Him.

The proprietor of the most promi-
nent hotel IN the town of s., KY.
is maa of a very economical ma
ture, in fact he is an extremist in
this feature He has a six-year-old,
red-headed son that didn't inherit his
fathers economical disposition. Re
Gently the son was very much in need
of a f1ve-cent piece for soda water
purposes. He went into the dining
room, where he was free from obser-
walton, and removed his shoe strings
and placed them in his hip pocket for
future reference. Returning to the
Office he approached his father and
said:
PA, give me a nickel to get me a
pair of shoe strings
His father glanced down at his
sons shoes, then turning around ap-
preached the office safe and opened
1t in silence. He took out the cash
box and raising the lid extracted a
pair of new shoe strings, which he
handed to his son without a word.
The youngster took the strings with a
crestfalien air and then to the amuse-
ment OF the onlookers exclaimed:

WEIGHING MACHINE FOR NAVY
Porhydrometer VIII Tell Dead WEIGHT
of Ships Cargo at
Any Time.

A porhydrometer is to be installed
on the Neptune, the newest collier
built for the navy, for experimental
purposes The secretary of the navy
has just authorized an expenditure of
about $1,000 for that purpose. A por-
hydrometer is an apparatus designed
to weigh with the utmost accuracy
the dead weight placed on board or
removed from any ship, barge or other
floating vessel to which it is fitted. 1t
is based on the principle that a body
floating in a liquid of whatever den
sity displaces a quantity of the liquid
exactly equal to its own weight. By
it's application a vessel is transformed
into gigantic weighing machine. Any
thing added to or removed from its
cargo is accurately recorded by the
machine In accordance with its
weight in pounds. That applies to hui
man beings as well as other freight,
SO that the absene of a single pas
senger or member of the crew OF a
vessel or the addition of another per-
son is recorded
The weighing is done by means of
an aerometer connected with a vertic-
al tube fitted in the center of the YES
sci and extending from well below the
water line to well above the load line
This tube Is connected by a pipe with
the outside shell of the vessel so that
when the valve or cock is opened the
water in which the vessel is floating
has free access to the vertical tube
and rises in it to exactly the same
level as outside the vessel
In case the apparatus does all that
is claimed for 1t, it will be of great
value in the handling, of coal for naval
vessels and in the settlement of dis
putes about the quantity of coal
shipped on naval Golfers and deliv-
cred to other naval vessels or at for
eign stations

Says Missionaries Lack Tact.

Professor Frederick W. Williams of
Yale, who is an expert on China, be-
heves too many missionaries to the
Chinese are tactless, according to the
New York Sun. To their tactlessness
he imputes the small number of Chi
nese converts
Professor Williams, at a luncheon
at Princeton said last month:
Il have known missionaries as fg-
norant of tact as Jim Driscon was ig-
norant of foot rules.
Jim Driscoll, a farm boy, got a
job in a steel mill. and his boss gave
him a foot rule one day, and said:
Measure me that plate out there
in the yard
Jim at the end of a half hour.
returned and said:
" The plate is the length of the rule
and three fingers over. with this piece
of cobblestone, and the stem of nv
pipe and my foot from here to here,
bar the toecap.'"

The District Appropriation Bill.

Perhaps, after all, the citizens of the
District have reason to be thankful that
the District appropriation bill, as it final
ly emerged from conference, was
marked Improvement over the measure
agreed to IN the House. The beginning
of the reclamation of the Anacostia fats
is authorized, Willow Tree alley is no
logger to be a blot upon the city,
municipal asphalt plant is to be erected,
there is to be a bridge across Rock
Creek at Q street, the first step has been
taken toward a high-pressure fire pro-
lection service, new high school buildings
are to be erected, and the employees in
the District Building are to receive equal
privileges with the employees of the Fed
eral government in the matter of sick
leave and leaves OF absence In addition,
there are some small but deserved in
creases of salary for various officials,
including the ha7d-worbdng, efficient, and
underpaid Commissioners.
All these are essential items 1t is
unfortunate, of course, that there is to
be no extension of the park system next
year, and that the policemen and iremen
are left without provision to meet the
constantly recurring deficits IN the pen
sion fund 1t is equally unfortunate to
note that again the basic half-and-half
principle has been abandoned in the mat
ter of the appropriation for the play
grounds, it having been decided to place
the entire cost of maintenance and de-
velopment upon the District There is
no more reason why this course should
have been followed in regard to the play
grounds than for any other item in the
bill The Fairgrounds are municipal in
stitutions, and their beneficial effect is
no longer open to question.
Upon the whole, however, and seeing
that we are wholly dependent upon the
pleasure of Congress for everything
from the salary of the poundmaster to
the expenditure of millions for great
public improvements, we ought to be
thankful for what has been given us
Congress could have done more with the
largely increasing revenues of the Dis
trict at its disposal, but it might have
done so much less that we gratefully ac-
cept the outcome and hope that future
Congresses will do as we'll.

The Railroad Rate Decision.

The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission adverse to the pro-
posed increase of freight rates is the
most important action which has yet
been taken in regard to the common
carriers. Being more or less unex-
pected, it occasioned a sharp decline in
railroad stocks, although the supporting
interests came to the rescue in time to
prevent serious panic 1t is evident
that the railroad managers are seeking
a breathing spell in which to confer
over the situation and adjust their busi-
ness plans.
For the time being the decision will
cause distress in transportation circles,
will affect railroad securities, and may
even unsettle labor conditions There
were two sides to the controversy. The
railroads claimed that the advances were
necessary because of the higher cost of
material and the increase in wages due
TO the high cost of living. The COM
LiSSFOii, O4l lllC OlilSl. llduus ulO llOl dQ-
nit these contentious and asserted that
the railroads could afford to live and
prosper at the present rates. Time alone
can determine which position is correct.
There is no doubt that the higher rates
would be an injury to the shippers, and
would also add to the cost which the
consumer pays. 1t may be, too, that in
the long run the roads will gain more
from low than from high rates. Let us
hope that this will be the case. In the
meantime, economy must be practiced,
efficiency must be introduced, and reck-
less expenditures-if any-induced by
liberal incomes must cease. For pc
riod there will be a halt in extensive
Improvements, which would have slim
ulated business activity. This is GER
tain to be the case if the high price of
material and labor continues.
After all, there is nothing II. the COM
missions report that will hinder the
roads from filing other schedules calling
for increases so moderate that the In
terstate Commerce Commission in its

Injustice to School

1t is greatly to be regretted that the
conferees on the District appropriation
bill rejected the provision which would
authorize the employment of substitutes
by the school-teachers. For lack of this
legislation, which had been inserted by
the Senate, the teachers mast now lose
their pay for each day they are absent
from their desks, without regard to the
causes which make that absence un-
avoidable. Illness or death m the family
or any other reason which compels the
teacher to remain away from school is a
burden to which loss of salary must now
be added
1t would not even have required the
exercise of generous sentiments to grant
the small privilege which the school au-
thorities asked. The cost to the District
would have been little or nothing; the
benefit to the teachers would have been
great They could have worked with
better spirit if Congress had shown some
appreciation of their efforts. AS the case
now stands, they can get their pay for
every day that they are on duty. When
i'll and suffering they can take care of
themselves.
1t is a heartless proposition that the
teachers are now called upon to face
They have the sympathy of the thou
sands of parents whose children are in
trusted to their care
