Rash SPREAD TO ARMS

759 Roach Ave-, Indianapolis. Ind
AT first I noticed small eruptions on
my face. The trouble began as rash.
It looked like red pimples. In few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and burned so badly that
I scratched them and of course the re-
suit was blood and matter. The erup-
tons festered, broke. opened and dried
up, leaving the skin dry and scaly. I
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching:
sleep was purely and simply out Of
the question. The trouble also caused
Disagreement. My clothing irritated
the breaking out.
"By this time I had used several
well-known remedies without success
The trouble continued. Then began
to use the sample of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Within seven or eight
days I noticed gratifying results. I
purchased a full-sized cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and box of Cuticura ONT
ment and in about eighteen or twenty
days my cure was complete" (Signed)

Transmissibirity Of Genius.

The sale of relics of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning by executors OF
the estate of their son, the late Robert
Weidemann Barrett Browning, which
began May 1, again calls attention to
the fact that the child of a union
so richly lowered, from the literary
and artistic standpoint, failed to show
traces of the genius of either parent.
He was an artist, but did nothing ex-
traordinary. 1t would almost seem
that genius not only has way OF
sometimes consuming it's possessor
but also of consuming itself, as far
as the immediate offspring are con-
cerned At any rate, the evidence as
to it's transmissibility is still lacking,
although, of course, there are plenty
of facts to justify belief as to the
transmissibility of special talents.

ABRIDGED Bible.

An abridged Bible is being advo-
cated-one that will contain only the
vital parts of the great book, and
that omits hundreds of pages of mat
ter now not read at all except by stu
dents. No doubt such a Bible would
become instantly popular, because it
would all be interesting and to the
point. In this age, none except stu
dents will wade through very long
books. Everybody wants the truth
boiled down to the very shortest
space. The great story Of the cruel
fixion is told in very few words, and
all the essentials of the Bible for
the average person could easily be
covered in one-fifth the pages required
for the whole work-Gallipolis Tri.

Conquest Of Disease.

The wonderful achievements
wrought by bacilli cultures and the

place modern physicians in position
surprising that of the ancient magi or

CHAPTER XXI.
In the Glow Of the RuhIes.

In the Glow Of the Ruhles.
Evening had come again.
In fact, 1t was almost bedtime.
Frances and l sat before the hearth
in the library, looking silently into
the red heart of the dying embers Of
fragrant pine cones. For In the
heights of the Pocantico Hills 1t often
is chilly on summer nights.
My darling sat on low fauteuil,
her chin resting upon her hand, her
beautiful eyes fixed dreamily, In
scrutably, upon the fading Goals. In
her lap lay the spread OF the crimson
pajamas.
She was Observation-Disclosures won

the frump's father after all; and that
the trump, herself-bless her, her
name was Ehzabeth-wasn't Frances,
and wasn't trump at all, but just a
jolly, nice, homely old dear. you know.
And l was trying to catch and hold
some Of the deuced queer things the
professor had discoursed upon about
ancient Occidental what's-its-name,
and astral bodies, obsession, psy-
chical research and all that sort
of thing. Somehow. dash 1t, 1t

as everybody else had said "Ah-h-h!"
and had wagged their heads as though
they understood, l just said: Dash
it, of course, you know" and re-
crossed my legs and took fresher
grip on my monocle.
The most devilish hard thing to
get hold of had been that Frances
had never sat on the arm OF my Nor
ris chair. had never told me she liked
me better than any man she had ever
met, and had never called me "Dicky"
at any time or anywhere. wondered

SMALL FLOOD IN VERDE
 SAVES WATER FROM DAM
And Incidentally Shows Part of In- tricate System of Balancing
 Heads Of lrrigating Water

The present combination of pIen- tifuI use of irrigation water, and the fact that the normal flow of the Salt and Verde rivers the past few months has been almost negligible. coupled with q predicted rise in the latter stream, revealed a hitherto unnoticed problem with which the project man agers have to cope Much might be said of the effect of little flow upon the manner of distributing reservoir water, but in this connection, it is an entirely different kink that has to be strengthened.
 Yesterday morning, the observer at the Verde station near Prescott, phoned the chief hydrographer here to expect a certain raise in the Yer de river. This he said would amount to so much and would arrive at Granite Reef at such and such an hour. The hydrographer figuring from this, then sent to Roosevelt to have the valves there shut to a cer- tain notch He had computed what the rise would amount to at the di version dam and sent word in ad- vance to have the supply at the main tapoon regulated accordingly. By juggling his heads this way, he could expect to keep a regular flow in the main canals.
 But other things entered, and threw off all the careful calculations of the hydrogra pher. The sand beds along the Verde parched from long spring and part of the summer of absolute drouth thirstily consum- ed part of the extra $50 second feet of water as fast as it appeared, and until those soft spots hadSall been wet down, there was no rise in the Verde at the reef Finally after the water has been distributed along the dry banks of the stream, a little trickla of extra water appeared at Granite Reef But this did not help

As a matter of fact the predicted rise in the Verde was at Granite Reef yesterday afternoon at 4:30. A very small part of the reservoir supply was saved by working the valves.
