CUTICURA OINTMENT HEALED
BAD SORE ON LIMB

"Some time ago I was coming up
some steps when the board crushed
under me like an egg shell, and my
right limb went through to the knee,
and scraped he flesh of the bone
just inside and below the knee. I
neglected 1t for a day or two, then 1t
began to hurt me pretty badly. I put
balsam fir on to draw out the poison.
but when ! had used it a week, 1t hurt
SO badly that l changed to --- ONT
ment. That made 1t smart and burn
so badly that I couldn't use 1t any
more. and that was the fourth week
after / was hurt.
Then l began to use Cuticura ONT
ment for the sore. 1t stopped hurting
Immediately and began healing right
away. 1t was a ~bad-looking sore be-
fore Cuticura Ointment healed 1t, and

days after I fell until l began using

"Cuticura Soap Is the best soap I
eve saw. / have used all kinds Of
SOAP for washing my face, and always
1t would leave my face smarting. I.
had to keep a lotion to stop the smart.
no matter how expensive a soap I
used. ! find at last In Cuttcura Soap
q soap that will clean my face and

inward fever. At this moment the
same nurse l had seer a year ago
came into view, took the child and car
ried him away. At Lady Tregenna's
request l accompanied her to one OF
the drawing-rooms, where we seated
ourselves.
II am about to conflde in you," she
said, slowly, "for I am badly in need
of advice. l want you to promise that
you will not divulge what am going
to tell you, until l give O permits

Il viii respect your secret, Lazy
Tregenna,' was my reply.
Thank you. Doctor Halifax, when
you were here last, you mentioned the
receipt of a cablegram from Doctor
Colett, the contents of which puzzled
you exceedingly. Well, that cable
gram told the truth"
THE TRUTH" ! exclaimed, scarcely
able to credit what | heard.
Yes, it was true. l will tell you
all about it. | was married to Sir
John ten years. We believed that
we should never have an heir, but
two years ago l found l was about to

overioyed. but it CHANGED that he
had arranged for the expedition to
India, in which you took part, and
found it impossible to resign his post.
He had to leave me, to his inexpres-
sible anxiety. My child was born in
London. | was very i'll at it's birth.
and for some time afterward was un-
conscious. When | came to my
senses tie nurse whom l had en-
gagged was standing by the bedside
she held a beautifully dressed baby in
her arms. She bent down and showed
me the little fellow; then at a sign
from me she laid it by my side. 1
kissed 1t, and was happy as mother
could be.

"She replied that Mr.. Dayrell was
in the house, and only waited for my

came to see me, however, and | did
not suspect the truth. When the boy
a fortnight old, the nurse came
to me one day and confessed what
had really occurred. A few moments
after the birth of my baby Doctor
CoIlett had become seriously i'll, and
had been obliged to hurry away, leav-
ing the case with the nurse. When
he left the house. h baby had shown
signs of weakness and want of proper
circulation; he thought its life might
be saved, however, Il intended to re
turn again within half an hour. As
a matter of fact, ten minutes after
Doctor Collett left the child died. The
nurse sent a hasty message to the
telling him that the baby was

dead. Two hours gtterward she was
startled by getting a message TO the
effect hat Doctor Collett had died
suddenly. Dayrell, who had spent the
entire day in the house, was pacing
up and down in the drawing-room
when she ran in to tell him what had
happened.
This will kill Sir John he said.
And Lady Tregenna. for that mat
ter, replied the nurse. They built
SO much on that child
"Dayrell stood looking at her for a
few moments without speaking.
You are not well off. nurse?' he
queried at last.
She admitted that she was not;
also that she had a sickly child or
her own, who depended altogether on
her exertions to support 1t.
"'You shall stay on here, at a high
salary, as the child's nurse he said.
1.-The child's nurse!-you forget
that the child is dead she returned.
Never mind that. Pay attention
to me- he rejoined, and Will give
you five hundred pounds in addition
for your help
He then proposed TO her that she
should conceal the fact Of the baby's
death from me for the present, but
he would cable Sir John, In Doctor
Mason's name, that he was the father
of a fine boy. Meanwhile. a living
child could be substituted in the dead
ones place. He knew where he could
procure a baby. The fact Of Doctor
Collects death would make the certiti-
ate of birth wonderfully simple. He
would undertake that the dead child
would be disposed of without remark.
This scheme was duly carried into
effect, and when I was made ~acquaint-
ed with the true facts | knew l had

baby of some stranger for over a fort.

this revelation was made cannot de-

me.

ECONOMICAL SOUL WAS THIS
Hebrews Attempt to Save Fare Prob
ably Went Astray, but the Idea
Mas a Brilliant One.

Arthur w. Marks OF Washington
tells this story to illustrate the talent
of the Hebrew rae for economy.
A little Hebrew got on a train in
New York to go to Philadelphia. but
had no ticket. In the car with him
were the members Of several the
atrical companies and he noticed that,
when the conductor asked them for
their tickets they would reply:
Company"
What company" the conductor
would ask; and the actors would re-
ply by announcing the title Of tho
theatrical company under whose name
all their transportation had been paid
for.
Give me your ticket" the con-
ductor finally reached the Hebrew.
Comply" said the little fellow,
looking carelessly out of the window.
What company" asked the con-
ductor.
Said the Hebrew: ''The Pittsburgh
Cloding company."-Popular Maya

the uses of ndynamite for blasting
bitches, both in wet and dry ground,
by the new methods. This will be the
blasting of a ditch three fourths Of a

dig them by hand is expensive. The
dynamite method is cheap, quick and

here that the handling of dynamite
is safe. Thousands of farmers who
once thought it dangerous, are now
Using it daily On their property with

Demonstration will also be made to
lift out above the surface and break
up very large boulders (nigger heads)

This demonstration should interest,

keepinu Baby Cool,

Mothers of little babies that sui.
fered much from the intense heat in
the early part Of July last summer
will be interested in the success Of
the baby tent" scheme adopted in
some Of the big cities.
The tents were placed on fiat roofs
u tall buildings and in open lots. with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent. When all was ready mothers of
babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, SO that the youngster,
In addition to enjoying the privilege
of sleeping out of doors, could also
receive the attention Of trained nurses
and doctors free.
Some of the tents have a perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city wa
ter supply. On very hot nights the
water was turned on and allowed to
stream down over the Canvas, BY
evaporation It greatly reduced the
temperature inside the tents. Some
of the tents were also kept cool by
the use of large blocks OF ice in tubs
before the entrance. Electric fans
blew the cold air from the ice into
the tents sufficiently to keep the ba-
bies comfortably cool.
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart
