RINGWoRM ON CHILD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First it was In
small red spots which 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 a birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles of liniment,
but nothing helped.
II saw where a child had a rash on
the face and was cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and I decided to
use them. 7 used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about one monthg and they
cured my child completely" (Signed)

| traordinary mysteries. But as | was
not one Of these wonderful creatures,
l examined the volume, and noticed
| it bore on the cover the initials e. X;

reasoning to guide me. And | also
knew it would be dangerous to ap-
proach any of the actors in this affair
with the view of obtain4.Ig more evil
dence. The men who had carried out
their diabolical plot with such skill
had to be treated in the same way as
they had treated their victim. My
only chance was to strike them before
they could ward off the blow.
Bernard knew that Allen was en-
gagged, that he would return to Eng
land before the end of the year, and
that there was no necessity to stoop
to a crime to rid himself of a sup
posed rival
On the other hand, despite the
promises of secrecy, given by the
members of that wonderful tribunal,
Aliens people received a full report
of the affair within three days. It
was quite evident, therefore, that the
object of the conspiracy was to in
jure Allen, not in the eyes of a dam
sci of no Importance, but in those of
his relations.
After a moments hesitation | gave
up my intention to send for Allen
B to ask him whether he knew

one and the same person.

Merely an Amateur.

A man who lives much at hotels
had some odd experiences during the
strikes Of the walters in New York
and Boston.
On the morning after the strike was
called in New York he ordered boiled
eggs in New York hotel. The man
ayers had hired all applicants for jobs
at waiting, and the one who took this
boiled egg order was tough person.
He brought the eggs, came over and
leaned on the back of the patrons
chair and said:
Say, cul, kin / shuck them eggs fer

In Boston the waiter at breakfast
was a big, burly person who seemed
unfamiliar with the work. The man
at breakfast ventured a mild protest.

But one group of Frenchmen could

his men should eat oatmeal porridge

She had, it seems, smashed a window,
