Home Mission District School.

Promptly at four o'clock Tuesday
afternoon the Home Mission district
school opened with the song, my
Country, 'Tis of Thee," and the
Lords prayer in concert.
The Bible class recited the giving
alphabet.
Roll call showed very few miss
ing pupils. A number of visitors were
present.
Eleven pupils rang the chimes of
eleven schools supported by the
Home Mission Society, each telling
some interesting fact about her
school.
Next the geography class was call
ed. This lesson was promptly recit-
ed, giving names and location of
Wesley Houses, Immigrant Homes,
Cooperative Homes. We learned
from the class that a Wesley House
is a settlement house, IAN oasis in a
wilderness of SIM that a co-opera-
tive home is a home for working
girls where they are given home
life and protection at the lowest pos
sible rates, some times as little as
thirty cents a day; that an Immigrant
Home is a place where Christian
welcome is given to the stranger,
where he is protected from those
who would prey upon him, and help
ed to find employment if necessary.
Each one passing through the home
is given a Bible in his own language.
The one member of the arithmetic
class, Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg, prov
ed herself fine mathematician.

The reading class gave lesson on
social service. 1t was a beautiful
call, showing the open doors of SER
vice for the Master.
Next the spelling class came for
ward. This lesson was not quite so
good as the others. 1t was a co-inci-
dence that the only boy had to spell
all the girls names.
Lessons were now for a few min
utes suspended, and teacher and pu-

freshed by lunch of delicious sand
wiches and lemonade.
After recess there were one dia-

WHITE PlMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started

two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then 1t
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. It seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head. while
on the other parts Of his body It was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had q
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores were horrid to look at.
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but 1t did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-

tight hood on SO he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed It clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
