line About this time Mr.. Newell elected to
congress and the first resolution day of the
first session OF the thirtieth congress-on Jan
uary 8, 1s4s. to be exact-he introduced in the
national legislature the measure which laid the
foundation of our Life-Saving Service.
The national government now maintains up
ward of three hundred lifesaving stations dis
tributed on the coasts of the Atlantic, the Pa
cifc. the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
Each Of these stations is named by crew OF
from six TO eight surfmen-hardy and fearless
fellows who splendid specimens OF physical
manhood and who skilled in handling boats in
angry seas and in manipulating the various me-
chanical appliances which Uncle Sam provides
aids to the Drawn and the quick wits OF our
coast patrolmen in the dangerous task OF cheat
ing the deep of its prey. For devotion to duty
that necessitates eternal vigilance and the most
fatiguing service the lifesavers receive the mod
est Of $50 per month Moreover they re-
ceive that pay for anly nine months year the
crews being laid of during June. July and Au-
gust. at which season severe storms and wrecks
almost unknown. Should a life-saver be in
jured during his summer "lay-of" he not only
cannot get back into the service but he cannot
under existing conditions draw any pension or
retirement pay. no matter how many years he
has faithfully served the nation.
The majority of rescues effected by the
life-saving crews accomplished by of
lifeboats surfboats These stanch craft, which.
manufactured. almost unsnkable, are
the ideal vehicles for taking considerable num-
bers of persons from mperiled vessels in linn
tied space of time. If the patrolman who in his
vigils the beach discovers vessel ashore and
hastens the lifesaving station for assistance.
reports that the of boat is practicable eth
ed the large lfeboat is launched from its ways
in the station and proceeds to the wreck by
ter or the lighter surfboat is hauled overland to
a point opposite the wreck and launched as cir
cumstances may dictate Formerly all OF these
boats propelled by and many of them
yet are. but atterly there have been introduced
big motor lifeboats. which are vast improve

cumstances recourse is had to the wreck gun
and beach apparatus with view to carrying on
rescue work through the instrumentality of the
breeches buoy or the life car. First OF all q
shot with line attached is fired across the
stranded vessel by means of a powerful little
mortar snubnosed cannon. which will hurl a
line wreck 400 yards distant, even in the
teeth Of a gale. With this preliminary line In
their possession the crew of a shipwrecked craft
can quickly haul out a larger line and finally a
three-inch hawser. Attached TO the hawser Is a
board which bears in English side and In
French on the other instructions to how to
make the hawser fast to mast or the best place
that be found.
When the shpwrecked mariners signal that
they have obeyed Instructions to fastening the
hawser the life-savers on shore haul the hawser
taut and perhaps elevate the shore end by means
of tripod in order to lift It well clear of the
water. after which there is sent OF to the ship
a breeches buoy. suspended from traveller block
life depending from rings running
the hawser Only one person at time be
landed by the breeches buoy. but from four to six
people can be carried ashore at each trip of the
life Whichever be the vehicle employed the
trips continue until all the imperiled persons are
safely ashore. after which ingenious mechan-
ical device known the hawser cutter is drawn
out to the wreck along the galloway and upon
matically cuts the rope, allowing the life-savers
to haul 1t ashore and thus preserve intact a val
liable part of their apparatus.
Ambitious inventors constantly devising
forms of apparatus for the of the United
States life-saving crews. Indeed. these inven-
tons numerous that the federal govern
ment has felt Obliged to create board of experts
whose special duty IL is to test novelties and who
hold such trials several times a year. However,
not many of the ideas that advanced
prove practicable. for the exacting conditions of
the rough and ready service involved and the
above mentioned classes of apparatus continue to
be the staDdbys which our life-savers place
the greatest dependence However. there has
latterly been an advance in facilities for signal
ing and there is now in use form Of beach light
so powerful illumnant that It enables one
to read the face OF n watch at distance of more
than nine hundred feet.

PITlFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch Of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced 1t chronic eczema. He is
n very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless.
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing. flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him. and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came of. and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies We could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
