FACE RAW AND BLEEDING
RESULTS OF SCRATCHING, IN &C.
ZEMA-HoW TO AVOID 1T
Try This Remedy at Our Risk.

Mothers often find it necessary to
wrap cloths around children's hands
to prevent them from scratching the
face raw when they have eczema or
some other itching eruption.
Now that We are ready to supply
our new remedy Saxon Salye, which
allays the itching in few moments,
this is easily avoided.
The first application even where
the skin is broken out and scratched
raw, will bring comfort. And the
healing power of Saxon Salye is so
great and the remedy permeates and
saturates the skin so thoroughly, that
1t is only a short time until the erup-
ton has vanished and the skin is
left smooth clear and well.
We guarantee Saxon Salye to sat
isfy you-money back If 1t does not

LEAD PENCIL IS LIFE SAVER
Stops Dirk Thrown at Trolley Con-
ductor by Negro In Atlantic
City, N. j.

Atlantic City, N. IA large dirk fly
ing through the air flashed before
women about to board street car at
Michigan and Atlantic avenues, and as
it struck Charles W. Wade, the con-
ductor, with the blade apparently i'm
bedded in his heart, a gasp of horror
arose.
The women and the passengers were
treasured when Wade leaped to the
street and gave chase to negro, who,
having been elected from the car for
insolence, retaliated by hurting the
knife
Instead Of penetrating Wade's heart,
the blade became imbedded in a lead
pencil In his vest pocket, cutting the
pencil amost in half. Wade reported
the matter to the police and furnished
q good description Of the negro, who
escaped him.

Washington. THE classification OF

international census, giving each per-
son number In a single world series,
to the end that the human race may
be improved by scientific marriage.
was the plan advocated by Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture W. NJ. Hays
in an address here before the Amer
lean Breeders association, one of the
organizations making up the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of :ience. AS a means of improving
the heredity of the human family Mr..
Hays proposed a classification of all
human beings. both as to mental apti-
tude and generic efficiency. Based on
such knowledge as this census would
give. he said, racial religion" would
develop requiring the more efficient
to produce families larger than the
average. and those less efficient to
produce families smaller than the
average.
The world numbers. said Mr.. Hays.
would serve to join genealogies into
one numerical system, SO that all re-
lationship could be traced. Each per-
son would have number or percent
age that could easily be averaged so
as to give the genetic or family val

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
g scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
ALI the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. ] bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had tWNd doctors to treat
him, but he got w5agss all the time.
He had it about six months when
friend told me about Cuticura. I sent
and got a. bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles Of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes Of
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out In little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since

pigeons hopping about the yard.
Thinking the bird had escaped from
the cote a few blocks from the store,
he went out and caught it, intending
to take it home. When he took it
into the store he noticed piece Of
paper fastened to one of its legs. The
paper bore this message:
Telephone not working. Come to

this answer: ~

Luncheon was ready when he got
home. Mrs Carson found the bird
hopping on the kitchen porch with the

ASKED TO BUY A BREWERY
Cleveland Men Want Rockefeller to
Take Over Property and Convert
1t Into Park Site.

Cleveland, O.-William B. Woods,
city councilman, and others. have
laid before John D. Rockefeller big
park improvement project which calls
for the removal Of a group Of brewery
buildings at the end of Hough avenue.
The property on which the red brick
structures with their tall chimneys are
located would become part of the
park bearing the oil mans name If
he decides to cooperate with the city
in pushing forward the plan. The
plan shows an imposing circle at the
Hough avenue approach to Rockefel-
Ter and Wade parks.
1t would take s250,000 to remove the
buildings, according to the estimate of
Mr.. Woods.

Ivory Supply Is Short

shortage Of ivory all over tho world;
the demand is always greater than the
supply. But there are big stores OF
ivory in the universe for all that.
In several parts of Africa the chief
tains Of s., age races have big stocks
on hand, but these chiefs quite under
stand the commercial value Of ivory,
and never at any time do they put
a large quantity on the market: it is
doled ont In small parcels, SO to
speak; SO evidently these chiefs have
good idea of what a corner" means
in the commercial sense.
Ivory at the present time costs from
$3.50 to $1,000 per hurdredweight. but
certain qualities run much higher in
price. Thus, there is an ivory that
comes from Zanzibar. known as soft
tooth" quality. that is very costly. 1t
is the The finest ivory known to COM
merce. but the supply is limited. A
single tusk of ivory weighs, on an aV-
erage. about ninety pounds, but you
can get tusk weighing twenty
pounds or $50 pounds. they differ SO
greatly.
Billiard balls are always cut from
the finest ivory. but usually they are
not cut from the largest size OF tusks
the moderately small tusk yields the
best results SO far as billiard balls are
concerned. The ivory reaches the
billiard ball maker in the form OF
small blocks or squares.
Ivory is white in color, but It's his

particularly the ivory that emanates
from the storehouse Of savage chief
tains. These chiefs have often come
