BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop Kan.-"About two years ago
began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until it formed
large hlotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching it
would burn so dreadfully that
thought | could not stand it. For near.
ly year / tried all kinds of salves
and ointment, but found no relief
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
"One day saw an advertisement of
Cuticura Remedies. I got a sample of
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment and began by washing the sores
with the Cuticura Soap, then applying
the Cuticura Ointment twice a day.
l noticed change and got more Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and in a few
weeks | was cured. 1t has healed so
nicely that no scar remains" (Signed)

something that had just happened and
which they professed to regard as a
fine joke.
But the moment the regally clad
man reached his private apartments
in the palace, away froI.i the eyes of
the public his mask of false gayety
was cast aside. He hurled himself
upon the floor, screaming, raving and
bowling fearful blasphemies, foaming
at the mouth and biting like mad
dog at the rushes that strewed the
floor
Nor was this burst of insane fury
without al excuse. For the man was
a tyrant; and that day had been forced
to sign the death-warrant of tyranny.
He was John. king of England. More

England, beginning the blend of Nor

had several sons, all of whom hated
their father and at various times con-
spired against him. John was the
youngest. From his poverty he be
came known as Lakeland" The eld
est son, Godfrey, died during Henrys
lifetime, leaving one son, little Prince
Arthur. Geoffrey's next youngest
brother, Richard (lznown as Lion
Hearty, became king of England at
Herry's death. He spent nearly all
his ten-year reign fighting in other
countries. and died childless.
During Richards absence from Eng
land John had tried to seize the crown
for himself. On Richards return he
had to fly for his own ire before the
wrath of the brother he had striven to
supplant. Richard, however, forgave
him, and named him as heir to the
throne. On Lion Hearts" death
John became king of England in 1899.
Some of the mobiles tried to make his
nephew, young Prince Arthur. king in

John was victorious. Arthur was cap

boundless wealth, mountains OF gold
and silver, rivers and caverns flashing
with priceless gems-all of which were
supposed to be found for the search
ing, everywhere in America.
The ineherd-Francesco Pizarro
by name-had perhaps never in his
short life seen a single gold piece or
eaten a hearty meal. The tales OF
riches made him suddenly discomfort
ed with his own humble routine. He
was ignorant. To his latest day he
could never manage to learn how to
read or write But far wiser men than
himself had been taken in by these
stories of a land of wealth. The only
difference between such men and Pr
zarro was that he actually succeeded
In winning such riches.
Leaving his swine Pizarro sailed
with a company of seedy adventures
to the West Indies. There was much
work and small reward at first. But
he kept on. Through trade and rob-
berry he had picked up enough money
by 1915 to settle near the new city of
Panama as a farmer. 1t was laugh
able anti-climax to his visions of
wealth But Pizarro was not the sort
of man to be laughed at
AS soon as he could scrape together
a little capital he formed a partner
ship with another adventurer, AmaI-
gro, and a priest named Luque, and
went in search of fortune The expe-
dition was a failure But in the course
OF it Pizarro heard of southern
ry-Peru--where gold was said
to be as cheap as iron. He raided the
Peruvian coasts, but gathered scanty
spells.
Nevertheless, he believed he was at
last on the right track. He went to
Spain to get money and royal author
ity for further explorations. In Seville
he was thrown in prison for debt. His
career seemed to be at an end. But
he managed to interest the king OF
Spain in his schemes. The king re-
leased him and gave him royal COM
mission to conquer Peru. He set forth
and. in 1881, began his invasion OF the
gold land

to take instead a cup of cocoa or hot
milk she will exchange purely slim
ulating beverage for nourishing one,
while still enjoying the pleasure and
the advantage to reduce the quantity
taken to minimum When tea in large
quantities is taken with meals, instead
of aiding digestion it retards it; fur
thermore, it is liable to cause wake
fulness and nervous restlessness.
Tea should never be allowed to
steep indefinitely, the additional tan
min that is thus extracted makes it
much more mischievous. No dietetic
error could be worse for the nervous
system than the practice of keeping a
teapot continually on the range, for
refreshment at all hours. Even greater
caution is needed with the use Of cot
fee, which is a stronger stimulant than
tea; its tendency to produce insom-
MIA and nervous tremor is well known,
and in cases of extreme overindul-
gence it may bring about a condition
resembling that of other drug habits.

orr. Entering the palace as trusted
guest, Pizarro made the Inca d pris-
oner, and under threat of death by
torture forced the luckless prisoner to
pay for freedom by a strange ransom.

at last turned over to Pizarro. was
worth more than $I7,000,0O0 Having
secured this, he calmly murdered the

The vile act set all Peru buzzing

full of enraged hornets. But PizarTo
paid little heed to the danger.

treachery-fowed fast into his cof-

Amalgro was induced to lead an eXpe-

Of Amalgros absence to attack Pr

vast numbers, to overcome him.
When Amalgro came back new
quarrels broke out. And the two for
mer comrades at last came to open
war. Amalgro was captured by Pr
zarros troops and was put TO death.
But his followers kept up the strife.
On Sunday morning, June 26, 1541,
a band of these men burst into Pizar-
ro's palace at Lima. Pizarro sprang
up from his breakfast table, half
armed, and few at his assailants like

he was still dangerous foe. A fierce

1t is no longer fashionable to have

manner of arrangement exaggerated.
There is a growing fancy for in

hair profits by changing the way of
wearing it, If one has an evening and

1t is especially hard to keep hair
tidy in summer. There is dust to con-
tend with This means harder brush
ing and more frequent washing A
brush with a rubber hair back and
pigs bristles will make hair less of
a task Always brush the hair after
motoring or being on the train. 1t
is both unsightly and uhsanitary to
have a dusty scalp; it affects not only
the hair, but the general health.

Historic Blackgua ards
By ALBERT PAYsON TERHUNE.
King John, Who Did Great Deed in Spite of Himself

made war on John to avenge this al
legged murder. and seized nearly all
England's french possessions.
John. forced thus to confine his tyr
amy to his own country, proceeded to
make his peoples lives miserable. He
seized at will the few possessions OF
the poor and laid heavy taxes on the
rich. He insulted and ill-treated the
clergy. defylng the pope himself The
church thereupon placed an 'inter-
dict" on the blackguard and his realm.
Eiis holiness also called upon the
Christian rulers to unite against John.
This last danger scared the cowardly
tyrant into submission. But he re-
fused to make his peoples hardships
lighter
Then it was that the powerful bar
ons, led by Stephen Langton, arch
bishop of Canterbury, presented
code of laws for the betterment of the
people and for the curling of oppres-
sion. They called this document the
Magma Charta (Great Charter).
Among other reforms. the charter pro-
vided fair trial for every prisoner,
authorized the nation to resist unjust
royal demands and put the will of the
people ahead of a mere kings wishes.
The chqrch's liberty was to be re-
spected and no mans possessions
were to be wrongfully seized by the
crown.
John was asked to sign the Magma
Charta. He refused The barons and
the common people combined to force
him to sign it. Frightened by their
power and his own weakness, John at
last consented. Thus was English lib
orty born and the rights of man were
established. John met the barons at
meadow, near Runnymede, on June
Is. 1915, salved his vanity by pretend
ing to make a Jest OF the matter,
signed the charter eud-safe in his
palace gave way to . lit of maniacal
rage
Though he had been coerced into
performing an act of splendid justice
by signing the Magma Charta, John
had not the faintest idea of keeping
his promises to the barons. He called
on foreign hired soldiers to help him
crush his rebellious subjects. The
English retaliated by asking French
prince to come over and be their king.
The land was once more rent by civ
il war. John showed no mercy to his
own country, but desolated and
wrecked it wherever his armies could
find a foothold. At the climax of the
struggle his mind gave way. He sick
ened and, on October 10, 1916 died
Some historians believe he was poi
soned.

is the "prelste" sash, which consists
of single turning over of fat ends,
