ECZEMA FOR TEN YEARS

1909 Little Walsh St., Baltimore, Md-"I was afflicted with eczema for about ten years, the most tormenting and agonizing. It was dry eczema, all itching. It was scratch, scratch scratch and burn, burn, burn. By scratching I brought sores which scabbed. I tried all remedies which knew or heard of; some gave me tenn porary relief, but none permanent cure. I couldn't sleep for scratching, after which there was burning. I saw the advertisement for free samples of Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and wrote for them. They did me good immediately and then bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. I was cured in two weeks" (Signed) George Wooden, Jan. 21, 1912.
 Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address postcard "Cuticura, Dept. L. Boston"

Tuberculosis Day in October.

Churches and religous societies, to the number of at least 100000 will be urged to give special attention to the prevention of tuberculosis on Sun- day, October 27, or on some day dur ing the week preceding or the week following that date. This season has been set apart and designated as the Third National Tuberculosis Day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Tu- berculosis Day was originally set on April 2S, but was postponed because of a conflict with Conservation Sun day of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, which was held on that date. The observance of Tuberculo- sis Day in the fall of this year will be utilized by anti-tuberculosis workers only for the general education of churchgoers on consumption, but also for the purpose of interesting them in the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals.

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS SCARE
Falling Walls of State Capitol Only
 Layer of Tile and Plaster.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Governor Donaghey came over from Hot Springs to be present at the laying of the corner stone of the Argenta school, and while here stated that there is no founda- tion to the report that the south wall of the treasurer's office in the state capitol almost caved in 8 day or two ago. The governor explained that a thin layer of tiling was jurred loose by workmen chiseling off plaster, and this tiling wall was what threatened to fall.
 "The report that had it not been for quick action by the workmen, the south wall of the treasurers office in the capitol would have fallen in,' and further that a sound as of falling brick was heard, and several of the employees made a break for the win dows and the door, might be taken seriously by the public generally" said the governor.
 Here is the exact situation: The south wall of the state treasurer's of flee thus referred to was built by Caldwell &5 Drake, and from a defen- sive position need not be referred to by me except to state that, in this particular instance, it is entirely safe But as to the trouble mentioned, this is about what did occur: The plas tering on the interior of the treasur- CTS office had not been finished. Be- fore the walls were plastered a thin layer of tiling was fastened to them, upon which the plaster was stuck. In finishing the treasurer's office, cer tain parts of the walls are being lined with marble. Where the marble is placed the plaster had to be taken off In hammering this plaster off the workmen have jared the thin tile loose from the walls, and that is the only trouble that could have been en- countered in the work that is being done there now. Such an incident was due only to lack of the necessary precaution by the workmen in charge, but at most it could amount only to mere trifle in the process of construc- tion

ONLY THING IS TO FIND HER
Every Man Has an Affinity Somewhere on the Earth, Is a Law of
 Nature.
b L . tF

Every man has a best girl waiting for him somewhere in the world. The moment that he Is born, the catalogue clerk in Times great factory assigns him to a best girl or else puts him on the waiting list.
 There is no escaping your best girl. No matter where she may be born or how far apart from her you. were when you started, the inevitable attraction will work your destiny, and when you meet you will both know it.
 All that Is lacking is the material realization, and inasmuch as all ideas eventually find their way to the sur face, yours is bound to come.
 Sometimes mans best girl is home ly; sometimes her mouth is not a cEpid's bow, and her features are ir- regular; that makes no difference; he will love her just the same when he meets her.
 Also, she may be another mans wife. Such things have been known.
 Here's hoping that it will not hap pen to you.-Life.

STATE CAPITOL
 NEWS AND NOTES Congress Grants Right To Power Company To Dam River and
 Supply Power.
MEANS MUCH TO ARKANSAS
State Is Given Right to Control New Company-Goud's Believed
 Behind Scheme.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-News received here from Washington states that the bill authorizing the Dixie Power Company to construct a dam across the White river at Cotter, Ark, passed the house after a hard fight. The bill authorizes the Dixie Power Company, a corpora tion organized under the laws of Ark ansas, to construct, operate and main tain a dam at the above mentioned point. An amendment was added to the bill defining the authority of the state and giving full power of control.
 The Dixie Power Company expects to create about 15,000 horsepower from the Cotter dam at low water. Tn power will be used in the development of northwest Arkansas among the lead and zinc mines. It is also pro posed to construct an electric rail way from Cotter to Mountain City and from Cotter to Buffalo and the Rush Quick Mining district and also to sup ply power for smeltinS purposes in the lead and zinc mines. An electric railway also is expected to be built from Bergman to Harrison on the north and from Bergman to Jimmy's creek mining district.
 w. V. Powell, formerly right of way agent for the Gould lines under Rus sel Harding at St. Louis, now vice president of the Dixie Power Con- pany, has been ill Washington for five months in the interest of the bill. While Mir. Powell refused to be quot ed on the subject it is understood that the new electric company is backed by the Gould lines.
 As soon as the new company is in operation an attempt will be made to electrify every town with radius of a hundred miles of Cotter.
 Men in Washington, who are famil- jar with the new project say it is the biggest undertaking ever attempted in the state and that it will mean that northwest Arkansas will be de- yeloped fully 15 years earlier than would be the case had the company not put the power plant into opera tion.

 But hold on, ma'am, said the agent. I must ask you, please. for the first years premium
 " The first years premium said she. And how much will that be?'
 C There it is, ma'am, written on the policy, said the agent. A small matter of SPA
 Oh said the old lady, I'm in a hurry this morning. You just let the premiums stand and deduct them when the barn burns down."
