VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS

To the wanderer in Italy, Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset, or better still by moonlight,
and you will fancy yourself trans
planted to some city of dreams. With
daylight this feeling may wear off to
some extent, although there is never,
at any time, al much hustle and stir
in Venice as in other towns. Morn
Ing. noon or night, Venice has a fas-
~cination all her own. This is partly
due to the fact that she is a city built
on the water. "

timately acquainted with her, a gon-
dola is not a necessity, rather it is
a luxury for sunset evenings and

st. Theodore was the first patron saint
of Venice, to be superseded later on

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOlLS

my son was about three weeks old

stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and In a few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
family physician who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under treatment for
about three months. BY the end OF
that time, he seemed no better. / be-
came discouraged. l dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use Of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in n few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption ON his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven months
old, all trace Of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time of teething and from the time
/ dropped the doctors treatment, l
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture Of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head a mass Of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be we'll. and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies"

STORMS TO PREDICT SELVES
Wire'ess Stations to Be Used to Mako
Ternpests' Send Their Own
Warning Ahead.

Storm centers move usually in an
easterly or n~ortheasterly direction.
Hence the prediction OF storms on the
Atlantic coast is possible, since most
Of them come from the Mississippi
valley. Some come up the coast from
the Caribbean sea, but even in this
case We have no warning.
But western Europe is less fortu-
nate. Its tempests come from the At.
laAtie, and with little warning. Euro.
pean weather men have made as much
as possible a study OF the paths of
American storms across the Atlantic
and are sometimes accurate in pre-
diSting the time of their arrival; the
same has been done with storms com
ing up from the South Atlantic.
But 1t often happens that storms
vary either their route or the rate of
movement, so that predicting cyclones
on the coast OF western Europe is
more or less guesswork.
AS q possible help in this respect
Director Andre Of the Lyons observa-
tory Is making a deep study of the
galvanometer records of various wire
less telegraph stations.
He has found that the antennae are
sensitive to any stray electric currents
as well al to messages, and he hopes
to discover a way to make the storms
telegraph their own warning ahead of
their arrival.
Every storm Is accompanied by cleo
trical disturbances, and already M.
Andre has accumulated a mass Of evil
dence to show that each storm in this
way gives warning. Just how to read
this evidence is the problem to which
he Is deVoting himself.

s2,ooo FIRE LOSS.
George E. Whitford and Rufus H, Worden the Losers by Blaze in Bakery and Tenement.


 An alarm was rung in from box 2S, at the corner of Walnut and Summit streets, Sunday afternoon, at 3.26 o'clock, for fire in what is known as Whitford's bakery. at 210 Walnut street. Hilltop hose company, No. 3, hauled their wagon by hand and had 8 stream upon the flames in five min 'utes. Alert hose company, No. l, ar rived few minutes later and also played a line of chemical and another line of water upon the blaze, which gutted the interior of the story and three quarters building, occupied by tenement and the bakery.
 The origin of the fire is not known, as the occupants of the tenement had left the building and gone to Taft vile by automobile about fifteen min utes or so before the alarm was pulled in, A. B. Burleson, who lives at the head of Walnut street, was one of the first to arrive and assisted the fremen in many ways.
 It is believed that the fire originated from the stove in the bakeshop, in the rear of the dwelling. The damage will total a considerable sum, includ- ing loss on furniture, equipment, bak CTS products, materials, on the house and to the business, amounting, it is estimated at $500 to $2.O00 The building is gutted and the damage by water and chemical alone, to say n0th- ing of actual loss by fire, is no small sum. The bakery was operated by George E. Whitford and Rufus H. Worden and the tenement was occu- pied by Mir. Whitford and his family.
 The recall was sounded within 15 minutes after the sounding of the alarm. An immense crowd gathered as it was the first fire of any size on the Hill in long time. There was some insurance, it is understood.
