RINGW0RM ON SHOULDER

Box 1873, Downey, Calmly little
boy of eight years had what they
called ringworm on his shoulder and
the back of his neck. 1t started in q
small pimple like a blister and kept
getting larger till it was the size of a
dollar. One place was as large as
three silver dollars. They were round
and mass Of watery blisters. Wher-
ever the water would touch it would
cause another blister, commencing an
other sore and SO on. It was very
red and angry and would itch and
burn so badly that he could not sleep
or, in fact, sit still at times. He
would cry when I would touch It.
When he would rub or scratch it It
would look like chopped meat. His
clothing irritated it. I tried many
remedies, but 1t kept spreading and
itching. This was all before used
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on It.
After the first treatment with Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment he was much
relieved, and they cured him in one
month.
'My husband is a plumber and his
hands get scratched and cut, which
means sores If not treated. so he
washes with Cutfcura Soap and puts
Cuticura Ointment on his hands every
night, and that keeps them fine"

LIVESTOCK PROFITS.
MORE RETURNS ON INVESTMENT
SHOWN IN THIS LINE THAN
IN WHEAT CULTURE.
IT SHOULD BE GENERAL.
North Dakota Farm School Graduate
Satisfied With Experiment. That
Has Just Been Con.
cluded.

Fargo.-One North Dakota farmer
has satisfied himself that the produc-
ton of livestock is more profitable
THAI the production of bumper wheat
crops, according to results reported to
the Better Farming special service
bureau. O. A. Schollander a gradu-
ate OF the Agricultural college, raised
22O head Of hogs. Last week he mar.
keted SO head of last winters pigs,
topping the market at $S.15 hun
dredweight. This carload of hogs,
while not heavy in weight, brought
over $1,70O. They were wintered
cheapiy and grown last summer
chiefly on pasture crops, supplement-
ed by screenings purchased from the
elevators. Seventeen acres of mixed
small grains, planted thickly, were
more than sufficient to pasture 220
head of hogs for the season. On
Sept. 10 they were turned into a field
of corn for finishing.
Considering the rental value of the
land as 81 an acre, and fair price
for all labor required in production
of corn, it cost S. an acre and aver
aged close to forty bushels. The hogs
harvested it themselves. While com.
plete figures are not available at this
time, it is probable the first car of
hogs paid net profit of over $500.
The area required to produce the
grain, pasture and corn necessary to
grow those hogs and feed the dams
was less than forty acres. With
wheat at twenty bushels to the acre,
fair average yield this year. not
less than 100 acres would have been
required to produce the same cash
income as was obtained from the
eighty-nine head of hogs. The labor
requirements and other items of cost
would have been fully as large.
At the time the hogs were market
ed, Mr. Schollander marketed a car
of steers that averaged $3.50 a hun
dredweight. These steers We're grazed
through the summer on pasture and
finished the past four weeks on corn.
They harvested their own corn, the
same as did the hogs.
Livestock affords a splendid market
for the early varieties of corn, such
as can be grown in this state. and
the man using livestock for harvest
ers can be assured that he will not
have any trouble with labor.

GREAT BATTLE Is IN PROGRESS
AND WOUNDED ARE FLOCK.
ING TO coNsrANTlNoPLE.
MEDIATION ATTEMPTED.
Now Possible sulsarians May Not
Enter Ottoman Capital
Movements Of
Armies.

London, Nov. 13.-Judging by all
precedents in the present war, the
news from Coastantinsple last night
was the herald of another Turkish de-
feat at the Tchatalja lines, where a
battle has been proceeding for the
last two or three days.
The Turkish admission that so
many wounded are arriving at the
capital as to show that the Turks are
Offering fierce resistance, has great
significance, in view of previous ad-
missions of a similar nature, and may
be regarded as preparing the public
mind for another disappointment. It
may be quite possible that this will
prove the last great battle of the cam.
paign.
There are indications that Bulgaria
may, after all, forego triumphal en-
try into Constantinople. According
to some reports, Bulgaria will be con-
tent with finding suitable winter quar-
tiers for he7 army while the peace ne.
bgotiations are going on and subse-
nuent settlements are being arranged.
Stop Toward Mediation.
The question of mediation has made
another step forward in the announce
ment from Paris that the Austrian
government has agreed to join with
Ike other powers in transmitting Tur-
(Sey's request for mediation to the
hllies and in inquiring on what terms
The allies are disposed to accept med
tation.
d, The revelation of the danger to Eu-
Eopean peace lying in the antagonistic
Interests of Austria and Servia ap-
pears to have quickened the sense of
the powers, and probably of the Bal
kan states also, to the imperative
need of working in amicable co-opera-
ton to procure settlement of the
Balkan problems acceptable to all the
parties concerned.
Another factor making for, the
speedy cessation of the war is the APP
proach of severe winter conditions,
which would give to the campaign
an exceedingly arduous character.
German Influence Seen.
There still is talk in Vienna of send
ing an ultimatum to Servia, and other
warlike reports, but it is believed ,Ged-
many is exercising ameliorating influ-
ence in the persuading of both Austria
and Servia to consent to postpone
ment of the settlement until the whole
matter can be dealt with by TIE Euro
pean conference. Meanwhile, diplo-
macy is active in all the European
capitals. 1t is understood that after
his important mission at Buda Pest is
concluded, DR.. Daneff, president of the
Bulgarian chamber of deputies, will
go to the other European courts to
explain the views of the allies.

are stationed in the outlying districts
OF the city. They were or the streets
early this morning and were ready to
receive the contributions of the work

HELEN BLAIR CARRIES
ITS LARGEST CARGO

When the Helen Blair cleared the
port of Rock Island yesterday after
noon, it had on board what was proba-
bly, the largest cargo ever taken out
of the local harbor by a steamboat.
The regular store room was crowded
TO capacity, and freight was loaded
not only in the black smith shop, but
even on the boiler deck, only a 50
foot space being left for the passen-
gers. One shipment alone, consisted
of 900 steel wheels, consigned TO a
Burlington firm from the Mutual
Wheel works of Davenport. Because
Of lack of storage space, a consider
able amount of freight was left in the
local warehouse, and this will be taken
on the Blair's next trip.

FINDING OF BODY
AT EDGE OF RIVER
Tell Men Working Nearby
of Corpse Lying at the
Waters Edge.
IS MERELY A DRUNKEN MAN
Near-Dead One Taken To Saloon and
Revived-Leaves Later for
Parts Unknown.

While walking along The river bank
yesterday afternoon about o'clock,
two newsboys came across what they
thought 10 be the dead body of 4 man
lying partially in the water. at the foot
of Seventeenth street. Frightened half
10 death they ran up the levee and told
number OF men who were at work
nearby. Upon rushing to the spot it
was learned. however, that the sup
posed corpse was merely the PROSTATE
form of man who had INDUCED too
freely. He was taken TO n nearby sa-
loon and revived.
BEATING HIS WAY.
The man gave his name as Rath-
burne, and stated that he was beating
his way from Chicago to the coast. He
got into town early yesterday morning.
and with two other companions start
ed TO see how much whisky he could
drink. Shortly after noon Rathburne
became separated from his companions
and strayed down to the river bank,
fell down at the waters edge. because
of his wobbly condition, and was soon
fast asleep in drunken stupor.
ON HIS WAY
Fortunately for the hobo. when he
fell down his head did not strike the
water, because in his condition, he
would have been unable to rise, and
would undoubtedly have drowned in l.
inches of water. The knight OF the
road who had spent all his money for
booze, was given a little stake in the
saloon, and. after thanking his bene-
factors struck out for the railroad
yards to catch a train.

River Riplets

The steamer G. W. Hill of the Wish

in local waters this morning, mooring
at the Iowa sside at $50. The big ex-
cursion boat passed the Crescent
bridge at 1925, ad with flags flying and
its calliope footing for dear life, it
proceeded up stream to the Daven-
port landing, where a large crowd was
waiting on the banks to catch a
glimpse of the steamer. The Hill made
its first excursion trip of the season
this afternoon when a party of Dav-

out an excursion of Moline Vikings to
