RINGWoRM ON CHILD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First 1t was In
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
of a birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, 80
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of liniment,
but nothing helped.
II saw where child had rash on
the face and was cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and I decided to
use them. 1 used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about one month, and they
cured my child completely" (Signed)

as life began to spread vigor once
more through his legs, he found the
steel. The straps were too short, and
in time the upper turn Of the steel
chafed his insteps. He eased himself
by riding sidewise, the proper way
to ride a camel, but with constant
straining to keep his balance without
the use of his hands. Fortunately,
they were not travelling very fast, 9th.
erwise, what with the stabbing pains
in his side, produced by the unvarying
dog-trot, he must have fallen. He
was miserable, yet defiant; tears OF
anger and pain filled his eyes and
burned down his cheeks In spite OF
the cloth.
And he, poor fool, had always been
longing for an adventure, a taste Of
life outside the peaceful harbor where
in he had sailed his cat-boat! Well,
here he was, in the deep-sea water;
and he read himself so truly that he
knew the adventure he had longed for
had been the cut-and-dried affairs Of
story-tellers, in which only the vii
lains were seriously discommoded,
aid everything ended happily. A
dashing hero he was, to be sure!
Why hadn't ne changed his clothes?
Was there ever such an ass? Ryanne
had told him that there was likely to
be sport; and yet he had left the no.
tel as one dressed for the opera. Ass!
And tomorrow the Ludwig would sail
without him.

All About Nothing.

Some of the saddest "misunder-
standings" in life have arisen all about
nothing. Looking backward, we can
not think why we were SO angry or
what our friend could see in our words
to be so bitterly offended. Great
wrongs may be righted, and the sky
be clear again, but the "all about
nothing" quarrels have a way of last
ing indefinitely. There is nothing to
explain, and nothing to apologize for,

was too silly for words" Exactly

Sir Conan Doyle Sees Danger In In-

Sir A. Conan Doyle, who is a iead- ing factor-in the efforts of the Eng fish to reorganize their Olympic ath-' letic system, does not believe that boxing should be included. in the Olympic program at future meets. He said recently on this subject:
 T am opposed to boxing as an Olympic competition and there is a good reason why it should be ex- cluded. I take 8 keen interest in boxing and l am a supporter of what Is generally termed the noble art but what has happened in the past points to the necessity of excluding ponents come into a close personal physical struggle. Tn boxing the men seek to defeat each ether by heavy blowS-I say nothing against this as a sport-and with competi- tors of different nationalities, unable to understand each others language and oftimes accustomed to box un- der rules that widely vary in the let- ter and perhaps more widely in prac- tice, there is so much danger of heat and ill-temper being engendered that 1t would be uunwise to restore boxing to the programme. What I have said of boxing holds good to some extent with regard to wrestling, and I think it would be a move in the right di- rection if the wrestling events were should be a great agency for promot- ing mutual respect and good feeling among the nations, and 1t would be better to eliminate from them any thing likely to interfere with the real iZatiOn of this"
