ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA

Eight years ago I got eczema all
owe my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and it itched until it almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. 1t spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all owe the whole hands. I
got a pair of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then it spread all over
the left side Of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. l cried night and
day. Then l decided to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as I had gone SO long. There
was a marked change the second day,
and so on until l was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap W. have always
kept in our home, and we decideG
after hat lesson that it is a cheap
soap in price and the YER best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug" (Signed)
Mrs. G.. A. Selby, Redonda Beach,
Cal, Jan. Is, 1911. Although Cuticura
Soap and Ointment are sold by drug
gists and dealers everywhere, a sam
pie of each, with 32-page book, will

vessel alone. Similar conditions pre-
vail on the Atlantic coast and also in
the purchases of anthracite coal for
use in army posts.
Considerable progress is being
made in the movement to eliminate
the army mule and substitute the
auto truck, according to General
Aleshire. 1t has already been found,
after careful investigation and expert
ment, thai the auto truck is more eco
nomical and more eff cient when used
in cities and over good roads. Three
such trucks are now being used at
San Francisco. one at Fort a Hous-
ton, Tex; one at West Point, N. Y,
and seven in Manila. Efforts are now
being made to obtain a truck which
will replace the animal-drawn wagon
with troops in the field.
The ordinary commercial truck is
not suitable as a means Of transporta-
ton in the field. say General Ale
shire, but a truck of a special type
has alreadJ been planned for testing
purposes. The commercial truck is
usually too heavy when loaded to be
safely used over country bridges and
culverts. The idea carried out in the
experimental truck is that with a load
of 5000 pounds it will not weigh over
5000 pounds.

Ten years ago the females outnum-

tables are turned. The bulletin says
in part:
"At birth the number of males al
ways exceeds the number of females,
but male mortality is always greater
than female. Consequently through
the excess of male deaths, the num-
Der of females gradually approaches
that Of males and in the later years OF
life exceeds it.. The negroes, with
their greater death rate, show the
same result as is observed In Euro
pean countries. namely, an appreciate
excess of females in the population
both in 1910 and 1900"
The bulletin shows that New Eng
and has 64,452 more females than
males. Since the proportion OF fe-
males Of middle age and beyond Is
greater than that of earlier life, it is
fair to assume hat there are more
old maids in New England than in

NOW A PENSION FOR MOTHERS
Homes May Thus Be Kept Up and
Children Reared by Mother
and Sent to School.

Chicago.-The new Illinois state law
~pensioning deserving poor mothers
with families recently became opera
tive. The first week forty mothers,
most of them widows and the sole
support of that many broods of chill
dreu, received checks for amounts
ranging from SIS to $3.50.
The pension act. allows IS to $40
a month for each child. Nearly all
the mothers were tearfully grateful.
The pension allows them to keep the
family together and exercise the care
necessary for growing children.
Tie deserving mothers and children
are investigated by officials of the
juvenile court. When the home influ-
ences are found to be good and the
mothers deserving the money is paid
to the mother. Before the law was
passed the mothers who found 1t i'm
possible to support their children
turned them over to the Juvenile
court and that institution placed them
in other homes. for the support Of
each child the county paid ten dollars
a month in the new homes. The pen
sion law authorized the county to
leave the children with the parent
and pay them the ten dollars a month
for each child.

METHOD OF KEEPING YOUNG
Remarkably Sound Advice for the
Woman Who Has Som Years
Of Life to Her Credit.

The way to ward off old age is not
10 fear 1t, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread Of advanc-
ing years. Use only legitimate pre-
v%entives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed by
physicians. Do not wear toilettes In
tended for young girls. they only add
years to the appearance. Keep up
your interest in the young, but do not
envy them. Retire with dignity from
the struggle. do not pose as your
daughters rival. Above all, surround
your life with sweet, true affections
which prevent the heart from growing
bitter. Do not lose interest in the
growing events Of the day; do not fall
behind the times and do not harp on
other and better days. To those who
come to 0 for advice be always kline
n sympathetic. AS you advance in
years preserve carefully your personal
appearance, for once lost 1t may not
be regained, save by strenuous effort.
Your costumes should be simple n
un~pretentious. yet graceful. These
rules, carefully and sensibly followed,
will keep o young and attractive

The day when an American diplomat

himself uncomfortable at exclusive so

a modest degree, with the representa-

THRILLING FIGHT AT SHILOH
A. Both Sides Began Firing Panic
Stricken Bull and White Dog Seen
Running Across Field.

On Sunday morning, April 6, 1852,
We were called to arms and hurried
to the front at Shiloh. Over the brow
OF a low hill l could 9 a rebel flag
slowly advancing, writes T. J. Maxwell
OF the California Soldiers Home in
the National Tribune. Both sides be-
gan firing, the rebels all the time ad-
vancing. Between the lines | saw a
panic-stricken bull and q white dog.
After a regular hail storm Of lead I
looked around, and not a man could
be 9 e except the dead and wounded.
l ran back to lower ground, and the
shot and shell passed over me. My
brother came to me, n said we must
hurry or the cavalry would capture us.
We found the regiment, and were
taken to support a battery of one piece
which was having a duel with a rebel
gun. The swing and lead horses had
been shot down; then a solid shot
took both of the wheelers. An officer
rode up near the gun, dismounted and
threw the rein around a sapling. He
had no sooner done this when a shot
passed through his horse. Had he
been In the saddle both his legs would
have been cut off. The next shot
raked the gun. The boys cast off the
prolong. dragged the piece a few rods
to the left, and in about half an hour
had silenced the rebel gun.
Morning came, and we were taken
to the edge of a meadow. In front
from the top of a low wooded hill a
battery was firing on us. Some OF the
solid shot would reach our ranks. We
crossed the meadow to attack, threw
Town the fence, and soon were a
I struggling mob, trying to climb
through the thick brush and saplings.
Those who got les the top saw the
infantry suddenly rise and aim, then
dropped to earth as a volley passed
over them. The officer in command
saw thai it would be a slaughter pen,
and quickly ordered a retreat.
We made a left wheel, and marched
a short distance through open timber
to level ground, and opened fire.

Jones and Brown argued as they al

They had dined together. and as Jones
lived at a distance and it was very
late Brown offered to put him up for
the night.
On the way home they fell to dis,
cussing the strategy of the Civil war
as indicated by the campaigns OF Lee
and Grant. The topic was elastic
enough to keep them going for half
an hour, and reached its height as
they neared the Brown house.
Then Brown lost his temper
