ECZEMA SPREAD OVER FACE

Stewartstown, Pa.-"Cuticura Soap
and Ointment cured my little boy of
that awful disease eczema. 1t started
on the left side of his face in a small
pimple forming yellow matter. 1t soon
spread rapidly over his face and head.
1t got as raw and red as flannel. The
yellow matter ran down his face In
big drops. l kept a cloth on his neck
and mittens Of muslin on his hands to
keep him from scratching. The back
of his head got in big scabs and when
he would sleep the pillow would be
wet with the water that would come
out Of the scabs. Then these would
soften and come off. His whole head
swelled; his head, face, ears, legs and
hands were afflicted but the head and
face were worst. We or the child
never got a good sleep for a long time.
I'VE tried medicines and none did
any good. We spent about one hun
dred dollars on him. They thought my
little boy would die. We were told
about the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and bought some. He was COM
pletely cured and 1t never left a scar"

TO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
Long-Delayed France-Eneffsh Project
Is Once More Being Put
Forward.

A tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
of the nineteenth century by Matthew,
a French mining engineer, says the
Argonaut. Fifty years later the
scheme was financed, but 1t was not
until 1867 that it seemed that the
project would be actually attempted.
At that time there were a dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries. The &C
cepted scheme was that of a tunnel
bored beneath the bed of the channel.
The estimated cost Of the undertak-
ing was about $685. 0 900. Prelimi-
nary boring had been made, when the
work vas interrupted by the Franco
Prussian war. In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed ne
gotiations concerning the tunnel,
leaving the matter in the hands of a
joint commission. Failure on the
part Of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted in the fail.
ure of the enterprise in 1880. Now
the project is receiving some atten-
ton, a better feeling having been es-
tablished between the people of the
two countris.

Ample Sleeping Accommodations.

A man who owns a 160-acre farm in
California has discovered the largest
bedroom in the world. One day he

very kindly, welcoming him to the

him he could have access to all the
reading matter in the house.
But where shall l sleep?" asked
the new employee.

A DOCTORS SLEEP
Found te Had to Leave Off Coffee,

Many persons do not realize that a
bad stomach will cause insomnia.
Coffee and tea drinking being such
an ancient and respectable form Of
habit, few realize that the drug-caf-
feine-contained in coffee and tea, is
one of the principal causes of dys-
pepsia and nervous troubles.
Without their usual portion of COT
fee or tea, the caffeine topers are
nervous, irritable and fretful. That's
the way with a whisky drinker::., He
has got to have his dram ito settle his,
nerves'-habit.
To leave off coffee or tea Is an easy
matter If you want to try it, because
Postum gives a gentle but natural
support to the nerves and does not
contain any drug-nothing but food.
Physicians know this to be true. as
n from Ga. writes:
Il have cured myself of a long
standing case of Nervous Dyspepsia
by leaving off coffee and using Post
um," says the doctor.
Il also enjoy refreshing sleep, to
which I've been an utter stranger for
20 years.

types, l find little trouble when l can

IN the recent civil war in China the
united States successfully Joined with

In China the policy Of encouraging

bankers in connection with certain in
dustrial enterprises. such as the HUI
kuang railways, of the national reve-
nues upon which these reforms de-
pended, led the department of state
early in the administration to demand
for American citizens participation in
such enterprises, in order that the
