ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

R. F. D. No. 5, Lexington, Tenn My little boy broke out on the face with that terrible disease, eczema, when he was just one month old. and just thought sure it would kill him, as 1t killed our other baby at five months old. It would break out in pimples and scab over, and he cried day and night. I thought that there was no cure for him at all. His face would itch and burn so bad that had to tie his little hands down so he could not scratch his face.
 We began at once to have him treated until he was seven months old and he got worse all the time. l sent and got a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap. I had not used them a week until I could see a great change, and they cured him sound and we'll and never left a single scar" (SignedD Mrs. Lillie Sikes, Feb. IT, 1912.

HORRIBLE CRIME FOUND NEAR ZINC Body of Miss Ella Barham Dis covered With Head and
 Limbs Chopped Off;
YOUNG MAN IS ACCUSED

 Back When Murdered.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Harrison.-As result of the dis covery of the muttlated body of Miss Ella Barham, near Zinc, Otis David son, member of a prominent Boone county family, has been arrested charged with the crime.
 Miss Barham had left home some time during the day on horseback to go on an errand, but when she failed to return when expected no alarm was felt till her horse came up riderless and search for her was started.
 The body of the miss;Ag girl was finally discovered by a fox-hunting party. The head and limbs had been severed from the body with an axe and the trunk had been hacked upon. An attempt had been made to hide the body but the murderer had apparently been scared off
 Davidson was arrested on a warrant seemed to be of the conviction that Davidson had something to do with the murder. It was rumored that the accused man had been seen in the vii cinity of the murder with an axe and that an axe had been found at the home of the accused mans father, which had blood on it as did pair of Dayidson's sox.
 Davidson refused to make a state ment before the trial.
 Rumors were flying about of the pos sibility of lynching shorty after the arrest of the young man charged with the murder and the officers at Harri- son, where he was jailed went so far as to establish a strong armed guard about the jail to prevent any harm from coming to the prisoner.

Suicide Among German Children

Why do so many German children commit suicide? No one seems to know, but there is no dispute about the fact. Indeed, it has been said that the majority of suicides are those of children. and experts seem inclined to connect the grisly epidemic with the educational system. That the weak must go to the wall' has become an axiom that has been extended to the schools, and the undeyeloped mind Of the child seeks relief in suicide from the Encouragement of failure. It would be interesting to know if any of the so-called heather countries of the world have ever experienced such a horrid social phenomena as that of child suicide

Worth Three Times a Diamond.

Nearly all the emeralds mined to- day come from Colombia And, in spite of the supposed higher value ot diamonds, the emerald is the most precious of gems. Carat for carat, a tiawless emerald would bring perhaps three times the price of a fiawless dia- mond in the jewelry market. India, the storehouse of precious stones, ia credited with producing the first en- eralds, but the Oriental emerald is not identical with the modern gem, as It is a variety of the ruby, of green color and extremely rare.
