BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
began to notice breaking out on my
leg. At first 1t was very small but
soon 1t began to spread until 1t formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights I could not sleep at all. After
scratching It to relieve the itching 1t
would burn 30 dreadfully that l
thought could not stand 1t. For near
ly year I tried all kinds Of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make 1t worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.

ENORMOUS WASTE OF COAL
One Reason Why the Use Of OIL as
Fuel Would Be Of High Eco
nomlc Importance.


The United States Is by all means
the greatest coal producing country
in the world. In 1850 the production
of coal in the country amounted to
6,266,233 tons. Thirty years later it
had risen to almost 100000 tons.
In another twenty years this industry
had grown to over 240,000,000 tons.
Ten years more passed and the pro-
duction of coal In the United States
by the census of 1910 was over 400.
100000 tons. For the year just past
it is estimated at about 500,000,0OO
tons. But in the production of this
coal the Industrial experts inform us
there is wasted 25O,OO0,000 tons. In
other words, the United States is
using its coal supply at the rate of
75O,OOO0OO tons year, and this con.
sumption is increasing, as shown
above, at an enormous rate.
BY the western sea and throughout
the great southwest the production OF
coal is not of great direct interest
In this portion of the country petrole.
UNI largely taxes the place OF coal,
and in the production of petroleum
California leads all other states In
America and. indeed all the world
This is new industry compared with
coal. The statistics show that in 1898
the United States produced little more
than 6O,O00,0OO barrels of crude petro.
leum, forty-two gallons to the barrel
In 1910 the production Of petroleum
in the United States surpassed 1872.
100000 barrels. At the present time
in California the consumption Of oil
runs to about 225,OOO barrels day.
There is no such waste in the use
of oil as that indicated above in coal.
Indeed, the waste in the oil industry
from beginning to end is matter OF
comparative insignifcance.

Signs of Age.

There are various ways of telling
when a man is getting old. One of
the surest ways by which he may
know 1t himself is to find that young
women address him as "sir." One
eyes, sir" will age a man by an in
determinate sentence Of anywhere
form one to five years. Then there
is the mustache, which, if allowed to
get out into the open, instead of being
closely shaved, will show the sere
and yellow, or rather gray. (This is
not to be spelled grey" but "gray.~
Then, again, there are the wrinkles
which add themselves one to another
in the forehead, but there is one sure
way of telling Of advancing years.
which beats all of the others, as it
never fails. When man is seated
between another man and pretty
girl and another passenger enters the
car, If the man moves in order to
make room for the newcomer and
moves towards the man in the seat,
thus allowing the new arrival to come
between him and the pretty girl, in.
stead of moving closer to her himself,
he is really, truly getting old. And
nobody will notice his advancing age
any more quickly than the pretty girl

His Golden Text,

A union Sunday school service was

text was 81 am the bread of life"
When it came time for Johnnie's

walked boldly down the aisle to the

with the sea of faces confronting him,
Johnnie's calm assurance suddenly

WOMEN AS NATURAL ENEMIES
Writer Advances Some Good Reasons
Why This Unfortunate Condition
Must Exist.

1.-The average woman now begins
that study of society which will merge
ultimately with the marriage cam
paign. She makes many discoveries
which she admits frankly to herself.
She comes to many conclusions" says
Inez Haynes Gilmore In Harpers Ba-
Ear, which sink unnoticed into her
subconsciQus mind. If marriage, for
instance, Is her natural career, then
men are her natural prey.
But unfortunately there are never
enough men in her world to go round;
and of those from whom she may hope
to choose some are much more desir-
able than others, Naturally she pre-
fers the desirable ones-i. O., the
'eligibles.' But-and here she runs
against her first obstacle-every 9TH
er single woman in her circle has
come to the some conclusion. From
the instant she realizes this she
must declare war on every other men,
Der of her sex
Men must often wonder at that mi
mute and merciless examination to
which. on first meeting, every
woman submits every other wom-
an. Men must often marvel at the
power of quick observation which
women always develop in these cir
cumstances. This is only the swift
interrogation with which a warrior
surveys the arms Of his opponent.
Women are forever discovering new
and complex weapons in the posses
sion Of rivals. And, perhaps, the
most terrifying element in the situa-
ton is neutrality-suspicious. sense Of
bafflement, in that she cannot Judge Of
women for men any more than they
can Judge of men for her. Every 9th
or woman becomes her enemy. To
succeed in her world she must play a
lone hand and a cut-throat game"
