Every nail-keg in the store had its
occupant, the checker-board vas work

aers were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as
their owners drew closer round the
big, rusty stove
The door opened noisily, letting in a
blast OF the storm raging outside, and
in it's wake followed Rufe 2leyins, =
giant wood-chopper, whose good ma
ture and ready wit made him a wei

The loafers moved a little closer to-
gether to make Don for Rufe on a
soap-box, but he marched past the
friendly circle, plumped an empty
molasses-keg down on the counter,
and drew a stained bill from his
pocket, which he held out to the pro-
prtetor OF the store.
An %expectant grin vent round the
circle, for S~torekeeper Jones had the
reputation Of never wronging himself
by overwhelming or undercharging.
The merchant adjusted his glasses
and looked ~eXpectantly from the bill

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with a membership
of over 312, 900 communicates of
twenty denominations, and from 208
cities and towns In IL states In vaTi-
1000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent. were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 2.24 deaths for every thou
sand mamhara or communicates.
While the percentage Of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher In the churches,
according to these figures. than In the
country at large. the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns, Is higher per thousand com
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area of
the United States, which the census
bureau gave as 1.67 In 1909.

Warrington smoked uneasily. He had
no desire to meet McQuade. Their ways

SCRATCHED TILL. BLOOD RAN

When my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got SO
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch TIL the blood ran, and d thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. / had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. 1
had not laid him down in his cradle
In the daytime for a long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application Of Cuticura
Ointment and he was so soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad I was he felt better. 1t took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake Of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. / think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and l shall always remain a firm
friend of them. There has been no
return of the trouble. / shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment Of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.

strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more Cunningham
o happy and healthy mother of chill

that, with all the evidence of shattered

from an unprepared condition, women

1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.

MOTOR RUN SUGGESTED

Albuquerque, N. M, July 27.
An automobile run from Pecos
Valley and other parts of East
ern New Mexico, to the New
Mexico State Fair in October, is
the novel suggestion of John l.
Hinkle, vice-president of the
New Mexico Fair Association,
and a we'll known banker and
prominent citizen of Hagerman.
Mr.. Hinkle suggests to the asso-
citation that the run be made in
time to permit the motorists to
arrive in Albuquerque on East
ern New Mexico Day." which is
to be Wednesday, October 11th.
1t is not intended to make the
run race by any manner of
means; but simply pleasure
jaunt and vacation of three or
four days. While a large num-
ber of motorists have made the
proposed trip over the valley to
the mountains route, it is believ-
ed there are many others who
have never taken it or even
thought seriously of it. Mr..
Hinkle suggests that the propo-
sition be taken up with various
commercial clubs, and this will
probably be done by the Fair
Association in the near future,

last Friday and harmoniously
agreed on two school buildings,
one to be erected at the old site
for the benefit of the children
who live on the west side an
other to be erected west of the
pump house on a half block
donated by the Ft. Sumner Land
and Canal Company.
Bids will be given out sep
erately for the adobe and lum-
ber work and the school houses
will be another step towards the
union of Ft. Sumner, and the
many children who attend
school will be well accommodate
ed from now on. The old town
and the valley will also be pro-
vided each with a teacher. MAX
ing, in all four schools.
Now our citizens should be
thankful to the school board for
their hard effort in bringing the
school question to an end.
