SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

kingsley, Mich.-'Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started In four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size OF
silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim-
pies and wherever that touched 1t caus.
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were ono
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then 1 got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after / washed 1t with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them of. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return Of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely
be e2aired, but 1t is not" (Signed)

Bivalve Conquered by Clinging to the
Fowls Bill Until the Bird Was
Drowned.

Not long ago there occurred lively
contest in Maryland waters between
a DUCK and an oyster. The oyster
was victorious, but it was fatal vic
tory, for when the bivalve had killed
the duck there appeared man who
killed the oyster and ate them both.
The combat between the duck and
the oyster was of the rough and tum-
Bile kind. The duck was large and
full grown 1t was of the diving spe-
cies frequently seen in those waters.
Now when the oyster feeds it opens
its shell so wide that the full oyster
itself is plainly visible The sight Of
such a morsel was too great tempta-
ton for the duck. He made head
long plunge, inserting his bill between
the oysters open shell.
Like a fash the shell closed on the
ducks beak Then came a struggle
for life. The oyster. which was quite
a large. one, was dragged from its bed
with three smaller bivalves clinging
to it, the cluster being heavy enough
to keep the ducks head under water.
In this way the bird drowned. Its
buoyancy was sufficient to float it
with the oysters, and thus 1t drifted
near the dock, where it was captured,
When taken from the water the oys-
ter was clinging II the birds beak
with such force that considerable diff
ficulty was had IN breaking its hold.

PUT UP CELERY SEASONING
Excellent Table condiment May Easily
Be Made at Home-Use for Old
Wash Boiler.

An excellent celery seasoning may be
made at home. Get five cents worth
of celery seed; run it through the fin
est knife of the grinder or break ii in
a mortar: mix with about ten times
its bulk of table salt and bottle.
Nothing is more suitable for the
warm weather curtains than scrim or
even linen in coarse weave. and If
this is bought In plain color lovely
sets for doors and windows can be
made with the addition of little stem
Cling.
A use for an old wash-boiler is TO
stand it in a convenient place on the
back porch or near the back steps, and
put all old papers in Ii. When the
boiler is full set 1t In the path and APP

MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved, but Further Work
Is Needed to Stamp Out
TaSercuIosis.


Only four suites, Mississippi. Ne
vada, UtaS aud Wyoming, have no
beds whatever In snacial hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized, there were 25
states In which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives exist
ed. and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only $4,000.
While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National association, in commenting
on the subject, there are stiH prec-
ically ten ir1igent consumptiyes Cor
every one of the 10000 beds including
those for pay patients. In other words.
We have from 100000 to 300, COO con-
sumptives In this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves.
If tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out in the United States.
more hospital provision for these foci
or injection must be provided"

would have been hard to have heard
and seen that father unresponsively;
and am not going to wait, either"
Il understand your feelings, Jim.

Maitland, arguing against his own emo
tons. "even If she escaped the food.
she must be dead by this time"
You needn't go over the old argu-
ment, Bob. I'm going into the noun

Bring him in" directed Maitland,
eager to welcome him. -
He fancied that the newcomer would
undoubtedly assist him in dissuading
Armstrong from his foolhardy, useless
enterprise
"Mornin, old man." drawted Kirkby.
"Howdy, Armstrong. my respects to
you, sir" he said, sinking his voice a
little as he bowed respectfully toward
Mr.. Stephen Maitland, very sympa-
thetic look in the old frontiersman's
eyes at the sight of the bereaved ia
ther
"Kirkby, you've come In the very
nick of time. at once began Robert
Maitland
"Allus glad to be Johnny-on-the-
spot" smiled the older man.
Armstrong here" continued the
other, intent upon his purpose, says
he can't wait until the spring and the
snow melt. he Is going into the noun
tains now to look for Enid"
Kirkby didn't love Armstrong He
didn't care for him little bit, but
there was something in the bold hardi-
hood of the man, something in the way
which he met the reckless challenge of
the mountains that the old man and
all the others felt that moved the in
most soul of the hardy frontiersman.
He threw an approving glance at him.
II tell him that it is absurd, impossi-
Bile, that he risks his life for moth
ing, and | want you to tell him the
same thing. You know more about
the mountains than either of u.s.
''Mr Kirkby." quavered Stephen Matt
land. "allow me. | don't want to in
fiuence you against yc r better judg-
ment, but if you could sit here as
have done, and think that maybe she
is there, and perhaps alive still. and
in need, you would not say word to
deter him"
why, Steve" expostulated Robert
Maitland, surely you know would
risk anything for Enid. Somehow. it
seems as if l were being put in the
selfish position by my opposition"
mo, no." said his brother. 1T isn't
that. You have your wife and chill
dren, but this young man"
We'll, what do you say, Kirkby? Not
that it makes any difference to me
what anybody says. Come, we are
wasting time" interposed Armstrong,
who, now that he had made up his
mind, was anxious to be off.

keep the three who remained from
freezing to death. Fortunately they
were favored with brief period of
pleasant weather. and a few days
served to make sufficiently habitable
camp. Maitland, Kirkby and Arm
strong worked with the rest. There
was no thought of search at first: their
lives depended upon the erection of
suitable shelter. and it was not until
the helpers, leaving their burdens be-
hind them. had departed. that the
three men even considered what was
to be done next
I'VE must begin systematic search
tomorrow said Armstrong decisive
ly, as the three men sat around the
cheerful fire In the hut.
Yes" assented Maitland. "Shall we
go together. or separately"
Separately. of course. We are all
hardy and experienced men. Nothing
is apt to happen to us. We will meet
here every night and plan the next

said, won't mention no other names.

tered Stephen Maitland 81 think, per-
haps. may have been wrong, little
prejudiced against the west You are
men that would do honor to any family,
to any society in Philadelphia or any
where else"
Lord love ye," drawled Kirkby, his
eyes twinkling There amt 30 three
men on the Atlantic seaboard that kin
match up with two of US yere, to say
nothin of the third"
We'll" said Robert Maitland, "the
thing now is to decide on what's to be
done"
MY plan" said Armstrong, lis to go
to the old camp
Yep said Kirkby, that's a good
point of departure, as my seafarin' IA
Their down Cape Cod way used to say;
an wots next?"
81 am going up the canon instead of
down." said the man, with a flash of
! inspiration.
THAT amt no bad idea, nuther."
assented the old man. 1--WE looked the
ground over pretty thoroughly down
the canon Mebbe we can find some
thing up it."
And what do you propose to take
with your asked Maitland.
What we can carry on ihe backs of
men. We will make a camp some
where about where you did. We can get
enough husky men up at Morrison who
will pack in what we want. and with
that as basis we will explore the up
per reaches of the range"
And when do we start?"
There is a train for Morrison In
two hours" answered Armstrong. I'VE
can get what we want in the way of
sleeping bags and equipment between
now and then, if we hurry about it.
EFF we are goin' to do 1t, we might
as well git move on u.s. assented
Rirkby, making ready to go.
Right answered Robert Maitland
grimly. when three men set out to
make fools of themselves, the sooner
they get at it and get over with
it the better. I've got some bust
ness matters to settle. You two
get what's needed. and I'll bear my
share"
A week later little band Of men on
snow shoes, wrapped in furs to their
eyes, every one heavily burdened with
a pack. staggered into the clearing
where once had been pitched the Matt
land camp. The place was covered
with snow, of course, but on a shelf of
rock half way up the hogback, they
found comparatively level clearing,
and there, all working Ike beavers,
they built a rude hut which they cov-
cred with canvas and then with tight

cried Armstrong, impatiently, what
did you find, anything?"

producing folded scrap OF paper from

Armstrong fell on it ravenously. and
as Maitland bent to him, they both
read these words by the freight.
