HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

"About two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good flesh
would burn and itch dreadfully. When
my hands first started to get sore,
there were small blisters like water
blisters which formed. They itched
dreadfully, it just seemed as though
| could tear the skin all Off / would
scratch them and the skin would peel
off, and the flesh would be all red and
crack open and bleed. 1t worried me
very much, as l had never had any
thing the matter with my skin. l was
so afraid | would have to give up my
employment.
MY doctor said he didn't think Il
would amount to anything. But II
kept getting worse. One day / saw

lady who had had the same trouble

Soap and Ointment and was cured. |

Dennis Flynn, while returning from
work, took refuge under a tree during
thunder storm. The tree was struck
by lightning and Dennis was blown
some twenty feet away by the concus-
sion and badly stunned. A neighbor
found Dennis and began the work of
resuscitation; another hurried to the
home of Dennis to inform Mrs. Flynn
of the accident Mrs. Flynn listened
to the neighbours account of the acct
dent with mingled terror and joy, and
when told that her husband was not
much hurt and would soon be home,
her pleasure was gratifying to behold.
An Dennis was twinty fate away,

His Mothers Valentine
Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.)
By E. L. HENDERSON

V. j. was a valentine. There could
be no doubt about this. He was born
on the 18th of February; his mother
had named him Valentine, and he
bore the outward semblauce of one
one, moreover of that offensive type
popularity known as comic
No one knew what V. ]. Vincent, as
he invariably signed himself, had suf-
fered from this combination of circum-
stances. Hair of unmitigated red, a
nose OF unconventional length, inquir-
ing ears and dimpled chin were, he
told himself, heavy enough burdens to
bear, without the nece ssity of smiling
cheerfully at the endless Jokes to
which he submitted on each recurring
l4th of February. He had learned to
accept the hair and ears and nose
with resignation, but the dimples, per
petually laughing at the rest OF his
face, were still a sensitive point; and
in a beardless era when fashion de-
manded glaring honesty in chins, a
conspicuous one. He could only fall
back on an unfailing sense of humor
for support.
V. Us name was appropriate in
more than one respect. In the lace
trimmed, Cupid-adorned creations dis
played in February, there is usually
found, hidden under a heart-shaped
leaf, little apartment warm with
sentiment, In V. Us being. there was
similar recess, but so cunningly con-
cealed that few suspected its exist
ence
Its sentiment was, however, bub-
bling up on this particular morning
of the 14th of February as he passed
the Merrill home, bound officeward.
He had hoped TO see Marcia Dillon
at the window. Instead. he caught a
smile from her young cousin, Dana
Merrill. Fortunately, he did not
catch the remark that followed it:
Doesn't Val Vincent look like a
comic valentine?"
His face is rather an intelligent
one for comic valentine" re-
sponded Marcia. "He has good eyes"
"Oh. yes, but eyeglasses are not
becoming. wonder if anything
would be very becoming to Val?"
laughed Dana.
He has a fine forehead" Marcia
spoke in the manner of one deter
mined to see justice done to an un-
promising subject.
It's a high one, certainly, and i'm
proving right along. Actually, Maria.

WOMEN'S LEAP YEAR RIGHTS
In Scotland Years Ago They Were Rec
ognized as Real, and Well De-
fined by Law.

Ancient, indeed, are the prerogatives
that are accorded to women in leap
year. They are so old that none can
tell just how or when they originated.
However, the ancient Scottish parlia-
ment gives us date as we'll as law
upon which to hang the right of wom-
en- to take the initiative in leap year,
as convention forbids them to do in
other years.
In the year 1928 this body passed a
law which, in its quaint old English,
expressly conferred on womankind the
right to propose marriage in leap year
Here is the law, just as it was written
in the parliamentary records:
"Ordonit that during We reign of her
maist blessed Majestic, ilka maiden,
ladee of bath high and lowe estait,
shale haze libertie to speak We man she
likes. Gift he refuses to tax hir to bee
his wyf, he shale bee mulct in we sum
of ane hundridty pundes, or less, as
his estait may bee, except and alwais
eif he can make it appeare that he is
betrothit to another woman, then he
shale be free"

| believe Val Vincent is getting bald,
and he isn't so awfully old either
not near thirty yet"
Marcia looked up with the amused
and tolerant glance of twenty-five
directed toward sixteen.
Dana ran on lightly "Of course.
no one could help liking Val He's
bright and witty, and rs good as ne
Is funny looking. He was devoted to
his mother, and I'd be willing to have
a comic valentine for a brother my
self, if he'd treat me as Val does that
harum-scarum Gwen. She has two
girls visiting her now, and the whole
bunch depend on him to entertain
them, as If he were of high school age
too. The girls all like him, even if
they do regard him as sort of a Joke.
I'm glad you're such a good friend to
him, Marcia"
He's by far the cleverest man I've
met here" asserted Marcia.
"Oh, he has brains, all right" agreed
Dana.
Could " j. have heard Marcia's
defense, 1t might have sugar-coated
the annual dose of witticisms he was
called upon to swallow. AS it was,
growing conviction that he had been
indulging in some very foolish
dreams of late, was emphasized by
the light jests.
He sat in his office in the after
noon, smiling rather wanly at a
feeble joke from the Office boy that
hinged on his unfortunate cognomen.
HE isn't exactly an Apollo himself"
he thought as he watched the lank.

On her death, soon after, the pur.
