ECZEMA.

Don't close the pores of the skin and drive it in. Persons afflicted with eczema. scrofula, psoriasis, ulcers, pimples, etc, frequently have recourse to strong astringent external remedies to dry up and close the pores of the skin in order to get temporary relief, forgetting in their anxiety that by so doing they are forcing the poisonous germs back into the blood to reas- sert itself a month later, in the old disease area, or on some other part of the body in a more malignant form. How much better to help the blood throw off the impurities which cause these diseases and get permanent relief. Blood is the most important constituent of the human body, and when impure is the un- derlying cause of most of our ail- ments. Take Bloodine to purify the blood and apply Bloodine Oint- ment to the skin and you will cure the cause of this most dreaded dis ease. Guaranteed to cure by your druggist.

Blind StaggerS.

l will send a valuable recipe to be published It is for blind staggers in horses. l personally know of this remedy being given to B head of horses last year. If it is needed it will save many dollars worth of valuable horses. It has not failed in a single instance. Don't fail tC try it. You will be rewarded. The horse that I last tried it on was my own. He was blind and was down, and had been down for about one or two hours. In eight hours after the first and one hour after the second dose the horse was graz ing. I have the greatest confldenc ? in the remedy. The ingredients are:
 One pint whisky. two tablespoons .of turpentine, quarter ounce of quinine. Mix well.
 The above is enough for two doses. Hardly ever have to give the second dose. Drench with half pint and with turpentine rub the forehead between the eyes. Be careful not to get it in the horses eyes. If the first dose does not relieve the horse in three or four hOups, give second dose. Who ever tries this, write me the re- suits. W. A. Higgins, Lockney, Tex, in Dallas News.

ARKANSAS BOY DISCIPLINED
Midshipman Cook Dismissed From
 Naval Academy for Hazing.

Washington, April 17.-With the announcement of his approval of the sentence of the court which dis missed Midshipman James C. Cook of Arkansas from the naval acad- emy for hazlng, Secretary Daniels sent a letter to every midshipman at Annapolis warning him that hereafter no leniency would be shown hazers, who, in addition to being dismissed, would receive an additional penalty of imprisonment as provided by law.
 "The sentence of confinement would be justified in Cooks case, ,' said Secretary Daniels, but as have not had an opportunity to is- sue warning before, have let the sentence stand at dismissal Your hazer is essentially a bully and must necessarily have a streak of cruelty. The United States navy has no place for youths of this kind.
 T take this opportunity of say ing that this senseless and danger ous practice will not be tolerated at an educational institution found- ed and supported by the govern ment. Future manifestations of such character at the naval acad- emy will meet with rigorous ac- tion."
 The victim of Midshipman Cook s hazing was Midshipman Newbold Lodge of Michigan.

Not So Much Cotton.

Many of us one-horse farmers plant too many acres of cotton at the expense of our other crops. Our first plans should be. to grow all our corn, oats, hay and peanuts that we need and plant only eight to i2 acres to cotton and prepare and fer tilize this to where we will make two-thirds to two bales per acre. We can raise enough hogs with very little expense to market that will bring as much cash as two bales of cotton. We must grow our own meat, corn, syrup and feed stuff at home and raise all the good cows and chickens and eggs to pay gro- cery bills. We will soon be two horse farmers.-R. D. Gipson, in The Progressive Farmer.

ONLY ONE.
The Record in Mena Is a Unique
 One.

One.
 If the erader has a bad back" or any kidney ills and is looking for an effective kidney medicine, better depend on the remedy endorsed by people you know. Doan's Kidney Pills have given great satisfaction in such cases. Mena citizens testi- fly to this. Here is a case of it:
 Mrs. Nancy J. Rose, 522 Armour Ave, Mena, Ark, says: 'Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of kidney complaint after two years of suf- fering and almost constant doctor ing. Most of the time I was in bed too sick to do any housework, and I cannot fully describe my misery My back pained me all the time and kidney secretions were unnatural felt that my life was fast ebbing away, and I spent most every cent I could spare for different medi- cines and doctors treatments. Fin ally 1 learned of Doans Kidney Pills by reading of them in the pa pers, and l began their use. In three days I was out of bed and feeling fairly good. The contents of four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, ob- tained at Vandiver's Drug Store, completely and permanently cured me, and I have been in good health since. I consider my case remark able. in view of the fact that 1 am seventy-five years old"

\ Simple Solution.

Some people wonder why this town stands still, while other towns grow.
 Some of these people live here, but trade in Chicago.
 They earn their money here, and spend it somewhere else.
 If they raised oats and fed them to another mans horses would they wonder why their own horse died?
 If they make money and spend it in some other town, should they ask what is the matter with this one?
 There isn't anything the matter with this town-but there is con- siderable the matter with some of it's DeODle.

CHAPTER VI.
Moonlight and Poetry.

A ball followed dinner that night, Wednesday. The ample lounging. room filled up rapidly after coffee; officers in smart uniforms and spurs, whose principal function in times of peace is to get in everybody's way. rowel exposed ankles, and demolish lace ruffles. Egyptians and Turks and sleek Armenians in somber western trock and scarlet eastern fez or tar boosh, women of all colors (meaning, as course, as applied) and shapes and tastes. the lean and the fat, the tall and short. such as Billy Taylor Is said to have kissed in all the ports, and tail-coats of as many styles as Jo- seph's had patches. George could dis tingulsh his compatriots by the fit of the trousers round the instep; the Englishman had his fitted at the waist and trusted in Providence for the hang of the rest. This trifling de- tectlve work rather pleased George. The women, however, were all Eyes to his eye; liberal expanses of beauti- full white skin, the bare effect being modified by a string of pearls or dia- monds or emeralds, and hair which might or might not have been wholly their own. He waited restlessly for the reappearance of Mrs. Chedsove and her daughter. All was right with the world, except that he was to sail altogether too soon. His loan had been returned, and he knew that his former suspicious had been most un- worthy. Mrs Chedsoye had never received his note.
 Some one was sitting down beside him. It was Ryanne, in evening clothes. immaculate, blase, pink checked There are some men so hap oily framed that they can don ready made suits without calling your atten- ton to the fact. George saw at once that the adventurer was one of these fortunate individuals.
 Makes a rather good picture to look at; eh?" began Ryanne. rolling a faketobacco cigarette 'Dance?'

Herd his knowledge ended But instinct went on, appraising and delying and winnowing, and instinct told him what knowledge could not, that she was all his heart desired.
 When a man finally decides that he is in love, his troubles begin, the imaginary ones. Is he worthy? Can he always provide for her? Is it pos sible for such a marvellous creature to love an insignificant chap like him. self? And that worst of mental poisons. is she in love with any one else? What to do to win her? The feats of Hercules, of Perseus, of Jason; what mad piece Of heroism can he lay his hand to that he may wake the slumbering fires, and having reused them, continue to feed them?
 Manhood. meaning that decade be. tween thirty and forty, looks upon this phase, abashed. After all. it wasn't so terrible; there were vaster emotions, vaster achievements in life to which in comparison love was as candle held to the sun.
 Again she stopped, leaning over the parapet and staring down at the wa ter swirling past the stone embank- ment. He did likewise, resting upon his folded arms. Suddenly his tongue became alive; and quietly, without hesitancy or embarrassment, he began to tell her of his school life, his life at home And the manner in which he spoke of his mother warmed her; and she was strangely and wonder ingly attracted
 "Of course, the mother meant the best in the world when she gave me Percival Algernon; and because she meant the best, have rarely tried to hide them.

But, taking the name in full," lightly, Tit sounds as incongruous as playing Traumerei on a steam-piano."
 He expected her to laugh but her heart was too full of the old ache. This young man, kindly, gentle, intel ligent, If shy, was love-child. And she? An offspring, the loneliest of the lonely, the child that wasn't want ed. Many a time she had thought of fiinging all to the winds, of running away and hiding where they never should find her, of working with her own hands for her bread and butter. Little they'd have cared. But always the rebel spirit died within her as she stepped outside the villa gates. To leave behind for unknown privations certain assured comforts, things of which she was fond, things to which she was used, she couldn't do it, she just couldn't. Morally and physically she was a little coward

be perpetuated in the film. Kinema-
color catches every tint of the coloring
