PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHlNG

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When She
first came dowp with it, 1t came IN
little watery-lil.e testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after few
days it wosld dry down III scaly, white
seabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
l used the ointment he gave me and
without auy relief at all. Then
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and 0int-
ment at the drug store. | did as
found directions in the CutiCIra Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

that the country was calling certain

not know whether they were Roose-

fore he had any thought that one day
he might be president OF the United

Want a Third Fort.
The refusal of the house of repre-
sentatives to incorporate in the
fertilization bill the appropriation
Of $4,000 for site for
coast defense on Cape Henry was a
sharp disappointment to most Of the
good Virginians In the house, to a
good many army officers and unques-
tionably to the entire population OF
the tide-water section Of the Old Do
minion.
Fort Monroe today has the safety OF
several American cities in its keep
ing 1t is the outpost defense OF
Washington and Baltimore, and with
Fort Wool It stands as a sentinel
keeping watch over Norfolk and Rich
mond. The army men and the Vir-
ginians think that a third sentinel
should be posted. but congressman
have taken Issue with them. Across
the mingllng waters OF Chesapeake
bay and the ocean lies Cape Charles,
,uhoea rough coast ,s visible on clear
days TO the gunners on Monroe's par
apets, but II what has been said by
supposed experts Is true, no projectile
which the big guns OF the fort can
hurl ever is likely to prove effective
against battleships steaming into the
channel close under the Charles pro-
montory to make the run up the wa
ters leading to the capital.
The forts at Cape Henry southwark
across the entrance to the inland wa
tiers, army men seem to think, would
nearly perfect the system of defense.
but the proposal for Cape Henry
fertilization is only one Of several
plans which have been made from
time 70 time to complete the defenses
OF the harbor, bay and river.
Hints at Selfish Interest.
There was plan first to build fort
on Cape Charles itself, but later this
was changed in favor OF plan to

there never was any proof advanced

many army officers that one day an adj

Make an Easy Target.


Pictures also have been drawn OF
the demolition OF Richmond and Nor
folk by hostile guns. 1t would seem
that the Virginia capital and Its sea
port might be able 10 rest in conf
dence that no foe can come up the wa
ter TO their troubling. The main ship
channel at the mouth OF the James
IS within easy great gun range Of the
parapets of Fort Monroe, and the gun
ner who could not hit so fair and con-
fronting a mark az 4 hattleship or
cruiser at double the distance would
he discredited after one pushing OF
the electric button. and his place
would be taken instantly by a man
able to drive every projectile home
for the army is not worthless. there
are many such men in the artillery
ranks.
If the marksmen at Fort Monroe
should happen 20 fail in their cunning
there IS perhaps little chance that
their brother artillerymen at Fort
Wood would fail in theirs, for the en-
envy that would attempt to force a
passage of the James would almost
brush the muzzles of the smaller forts
guns. Artillerymen have occasional
chances to test their skill govern
ment tug tows red triangular pyra-

to be a fair system of marking. and
is the only one used by the land and
sea artillerymen OF the world when
firing at moving marks.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

All who are interested in the de-
vclopment of Columbia should get
behind the Commercial Club. The
Commercial Club is the keynote
of progress for Columbia. 1t is the
quickest. the surest and the most
economical medium through which
the city can be built up.
The Commercial Club has played
an important part in the past. This
year its members are even more ell
thusiastic than ever. 1t has many
new projects on foot to make COlum-
bia a better place in which to live
and to attract new enterprises and
business establishments.
But it will take money to make
these plans a success. 1t is estimated
S6,oo0 will be required to carry on
the work planned. There were 24l
members last year and this number
should be materially increased in
1912.

The Greek Invasion

ice cream shops in Columbia are more
successful than the bOOt-blacks. Two
Young Greeks who make their living
BY shining shoes earn barely two
dollars a day.
Each year more Greeks ccme to the
United States. In 1868 there Were
only eight in this country; uE to 1900
no single year brought as many as
5000; in 1907 there We're $4,000
and in 1910 there We're $50 200. They
are here for two reasons. to make
money and to learn English.
The Greek is most desirable im-
migrant. Greece is constitutional
monarchy. with privileges of man
hood suffrage and freedom of the
press. so when Greeks come to the
United States they are perhaps as
well fitted for becoming good citizens
as the people of any ether foreign
country. In all our large cities they
manufacture and are the venderS of
candy and have almost got mOnOp-
oily on the retail fruit business and
flavor industry. TO own a fruit and
candy shop or push cart is the
dream of every boot-black. One sell
dom sees a Greek employed in a fac
tory. Like the Irish they are ind,
pendent. preferring to be their own
masters by being peddlerS or mer-
chants.
Every Greek comes TO the United
States imbued with love for his moth
er country and with the firm belief
that Greece will soon rise afresh af-
ter her sleep of two thousand years.
The majority of them are very illit-
crate, but they learn the English
language quickly, often speaking it
fairly well in less than year.
The modern Greek is energetic. He
loves anything that represents the
beautiful in life. His is the heritage
of the ancient Greek poets. warriors,
philosophers, sculptors and states
men. He has been surrounded all his
life with the things they have ere
ated. In Athens. Sparta and COrinth
he has only to raise his eyes and see
something beautiful When he
comes to the Ecw world. he leaves all
this behind him in the old. and al
his heart he cheriShes a secret long
ing that sOmaday. when his fortune
is made, he will return to his mother
country to spend his declining years
among her classic beauties. w. l..

The Students Health

There is a great deal said about
the unnatural life OF student i'll
university. and most of our ailments
and sins are charitably attributed to
that But, according to the cOnsen-
suS of opinion Of those who have
most to do with student health in the
University OF Missouri, there is no
such thing The life is most natural,
because the most regular and most
carefully arranged with regard to di-
vision of work. play, and exercise.
say DR.. Woodson Moss, University
physician, c. l.. Brewer, director of
athletics, and others.
AS whole, student health is bet
ter for university life rather than
worse for it, says Doctor Moss. IF
a young man enters the University
with good health he keeps IL unless
accident or indiscretion plunges him
into sickness. Students are seldom
luTt Ds ONel "Olh, dilhouSh "iii
inclined to think that not enough at
tention is paid to individual adjust
ment in our modern educational sys-
TEN. An easy course for one student
may be load for another and then
we have a case of OverwOrk if the
overloaded one is conscientious. or
course there are epidemics of colds
and bronchitis such as we are having
now. but as rule these are no
worse than among the town people.
Doctor Moss may be consulted by
students two hours each day at Par
ker Memorial hospital without cost.
The only service expected in return
is clinical examination by the classes
in medicine. and even this is asked
only of the men.
Free hospital service is furnished
sick students as WE'LL and an avera"e
of twenty-five month take advan-
tage of it. A majority of the ailments
of those consulting Doctor Moss are
colds and their complications. A sur
prising number of agricultural stu
dents. particularly short course men.
seem to be afflicted with these. due to
the fact that they are exposed
most to the weather. The ca
diets. too. seem to be easy prey for
that paticular germ that likes to
make us sneeze and sniffle. There
are more nervous breakdowns among
the girls. though even there the per-
centage is small.
Sickness among students seems TO
run in classes. The freshman enters
college alive with enthusiasm for its
social allurements. Midnight cha:
fng-dish lunches of welsh-rarebit,
fudge and other indigestible delights
| is another source of indispositiOn. To-
wards the end of the year nerves and
digestion begins to rebel and anxious
parents at home write urging the
complainer not to study so hard. AS
