OF this modest man, this first con-

descent from Seth and the father OF
Lamech. 1t is all given In three
verses in the fifth chapter Of Genesis.
He undoubtedly was a man OF SUB

wonder how many attempts were
made to interest him in various en-
terprises' framed in the bluest OF tur-
quoise, with a view of separating him
from his money or its equivalent IN
cattle, or sheep or the fruits OF the
field. For In that day as in this there
doubtless were admirable tellers OF
short stories, horse traders with
wonderful gift of language, real es-
tate men who could paint landscape
of bewitching beauty-but. alas, we
have no account of them and as there
are no precedents. when Sinbad the

RINGWORM ON CHILD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First 1t was In
small red spots whicl. had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
of birds egg. They had white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child sut-
fered terrible itching and burning, 80

scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of liniment,
but nothing helped.
