PlMPLEs COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and kind of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass Of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night SO that could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
clot of blood.
II tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and l was not
getting any benefit. It seemed l was
in eternal misery and could not sleep

Remedies and inside of two weeks |
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolyent, and in about
three or four months time my back

Rice Planting win BE late.


CrowIey.-The February Rice Jour-
nal will say Of the rice situation:
1.-The first month of 1912 Is gone and
practically nothing has been done to-
ward the preparation Of the ground
fof the next rice crop. The continu-
Gus rains since December have pre-
vented any field preparations, and the
last few days of January capped 1t
all with from a to finch rainfall
over most Of the Louisiana and Texas
rice belt. This means that, at best,
farmers will be very late with their
plowing, and, in consequence, will also
be much later than usual. 1t will
probably mean a considerable less
acreage than was contemplated q
month ago, too"

Practically all of the grades scored
the highest enrolment during the ear

second month. AS the session ad-
vanced, the enrolment decreased.
"The average attendance for all
grades falls far short of the enroll.
ment for the same months, showing
that the school is reaching the chill

of the time. Would it not be worth
while to have all the teachers engaged
in the public schools to ascertain why
children have dropped out of school,
or attend irregularly and report the
facts to school boards, using blank
for each child, prepared by the super
intendents?
'There does not seem to be any
alarming loss of children after the
first grade until we reach the seventh
grade, but the falling off in the classes
above the seventh is about one-half
every year. In other words, very few
children remain in school beyond the

WOMEN OPPOSE
REPAv|NG STREET

With former Judge Gottfried Krue-
standing alone for bitulithic, a del
egation of High street property-owners,
including a number Of women, among
thom being Miss Florence D. Murphy,
sister of former Governor Franklin
Murphy, the Board of Works for the
second time within a month listened
to the protest of the delegation against
repaving The street yesterday. The
question was discussed before the COM
mittee on streets and highways. Com
missioner William Mungle, who pre-
sided, favored the repaving of the
street. Chief Engineer Morris r.
Sherrerd said that Charles Holzhauer.
one of the speakers, was mistaken
about macadam being the standard
road in the residential sections of Paris
and It's suburbs.
The board showed that during the
past five years the pavement was re-
topped twice, and that the repair cost
during that period $40, 545.54.
Judge Kruger denounced the plan
proposed by the professionals of sharing
in the expense of repairing the street,
He stood firmly for bitulithie, and at
one time remarked that Mr.. Jenkinson
was ''ffty years behind the times
That followed the statement Of Mr..
Jenkinson that he would give ashes to
the city to place at the crossings to
raise the grade. 1--WE don't want ashes,
but bitulithic," said Judge Kruger.

would not be awarded Immediately but
that did not suit the delegate and he
called on DR.. William Dimond, of the
assessment commission, to explain the
system of assessing and what be
thought it would cost. Until we have

ber of lots in the vicinity and secure

assessment will amount to-"
One of the speakers stated thai IL II
amounted to 800 or SIPS some of the
property-owners would go bankrupt.
This was laughed at by Mr.. Tichenor
and members of the board.
Commissioner Kraemer finally made
a motion to lay the question over. and
it was seconded by Commissioner Ryan
and carried.

REVISION
BILL ATTACKED

WASHINGTON. April 5.--An adverse
report on the House steel revision bill,
signed by all OF the Republican men,
bers of the finance committee, except
Senator La Toilette, was submitted to
the Senate today. The bill is de-
bounced as ilI-advised n unfortu-
nate.
1t is said that the enactment of the
bill would reduce protection below the
margin of safety and tend to destroy
one of the most important industries
of this country. The committee con-
tends that hearings of 245 different in
dlistriaI concerns of eighteen States
showed a widespread opposition to the
revision of the present rates, and h a
representatives of 225 manufacturers
of machine tools testified that putting
machine tools on the free list would
compel the closing of the factories.
Among the numerous other reasons
given by the committee for its oppo-
sition to the democratic bill is cited the
absence of a report from the tariff
board on metals.
The report says that the House ways
and means committees estimate that
there would be SOS, 600, 600 of increased
importations annually. if correct, would
mean that foreign iron and steel prod
ucts were to displace American manu-
~facturers In the domestic markets. 1t
added that even with the increased Inn
portations relied upon by the a and
means committee there would be a de-
felt in revenues of more Than 81, 400, 900.
The minority of the finance commit
tee has not yet reported.
