RINGWoRM ON CHILD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago
this winter my even-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 birds egg. They had 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.

HIGH TIDE OF WAR.
BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG WAS
TURNING POINT OF GREAT
CIVIL CONFLICT.
BOTH SIDES FOUGHT BRAvELY
Three Days Of Fighting That Resulted
In Total Losses of Over $4,000 and
Put Confederate Forces on the
Defensive.

Bravely fought by two great armies
OF Americans, bravely won by the Fed
erals and bravely lost by the Confed-
crates the battle of Gettysburg proved
to be the turning point OF the Civil
war. Before that the victories Of the
south were frequent and its armies
were aggressive. After the bloody
battle Of July 1. and 3, 1863, the
forces OF the Confederacy were gen.
orally on the defensive. Lees inva-
sion Of the north, undertaken in the
hope that 1t would bring foreign aid
to the southern cause, was brought to
a sudden and disastrous end.
General Lees army at Gettysburg
numbered approximately $4,000, while
the Federal forces, under command of
Gen. George G. Meade, aggregated
about $4,000 officers and men. Lees
corps commanders were Generals
Longstreet, Ewell and A. P. Hill. Com.
manders of the Union corps were Gen.
erals John F, Reynolds, w. S. Han
COCK. d. e. Sickles, Sykes, Sedgwick,
y. y. Howard and Slocum
Reynolds, sent ahead to feel out the
enemy, arrived at Gettysburg the eve
ming of June 81, and in the fighting
which began early the next day, was
killed. Gen. Abner Doubleday, who
succeeded him, was forced back to
Seminary Ridge, after hard fighting,
and then had to abandon that posi-
ton, so that the first day of the bat.
tie was In reality Confederate vic
tory. That night Meade ordered the
entire Union army to Gettysburg, and
by next morning the two armies were
confronting each other along q ten
mile line of battle.
Lee ordered Longstreet to turn the
left flank of the Federal army by TAX
ing Little Round Top, but Sickles de.
Tended that position so stubbornly
that Longstreet's movement was
checked, Peach Orchard, Cemetery
Hill, Culp's Hill and The Devils Den
were the scenes of desperate fighting,
and Little Round Top was saved to
the Federals by the arrival of a brig
ade under General Weed. His men
dragged the guns of battery to the
summit by hand.

INFANT MORTALITY is LOWER
Efforts Of Health Officials During Last
Five Years Have Brought Down
Death List In Cities.

What the American cities are do
ing and can do toward preventing In
faint mortality and the high death
rate of children under five years OF
age is the subject Of bulltin issued
by the children's bureau of the de-
partment of labor 1t is the purpose
of the bureau to issue similar bull
letin annually and in time to make
1t a complete manual for municipal
and philanthropic activities in the d.
rection of child welfare. Summer
campaigns for babies lives have been
waged with such marvelously good
effect in some cities, that it seems to
the bureau important to enlist the
energies of as many cities in this
work as possible. To this end 1t will
be helpful to collect and present for
the information of all, the little or
much that is being done by the vari-
GUS cities
The efforts of city health officials
have resulted in the last ten years
in reducing the general death rate
In cities, below that of the rural dis
tricts and villages. This reduction in
the general death rate is an encourag
ing indication of what is possible Of
accomplishment in efforts to reduce
the infant death rate. Babies die Of
diseases which, to large extent are
preventable, and thus when welfare
work is directed toward saving their
lives the response is immediate and
decided.
