Rash ON FACE FOR z YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"My trouble OF
skin disease started merely as rash
on my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting worse until large scabs
would form, tester and break. This
was Just on the one side Of my face,
but it soon scattered to the other
side. l suffered great deal, especial
ly at night, on account Of its itching
and burning. I would scratch 1t and
of course that irritated 1t very much.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
It kept me from sleeping day or night
for couple of months. My face look
ed disgraceful and / was almost
ashamed to be seen by my friends.
"a friend asked me to try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. / would
battle my face with hot water and a
lot Of Cuticura Soap, then would put
on the Cuticura Ointment. In less
than two days time, the soreness and
Inflammation had almost entirely dis
appeared, and in four weeks time you
could not see any OF the rash. Now
my face is without spot of any kind
also use them for my scalp and hair
They cured me completely" (Signed)

BACKYARD SWINGS.

A large tree with a spreading limb
twenty or twenty-five feet above the
ground makes the ideal support for
a swing, but in case there isn't a tree
at hand, it is an easy matter for boy
to put up substantial framework
such as is shown in Fig. 2, from which
to suspend it. Such framework as
this should be built alongside of a
fence or shed, so one of the side up
rights CA, Fig. p can be spiked Sc
curely to it. Then it is necessary to
brace only the opposite upright OBJ.
Two-by-four-inch stuff is heavy enough
for the uprights, and of course the
longer you can get them the longer
the sweep of the swing will be.
Before putting up the uprights. the
top plate CO. should be cut and spiked
to their ends. The ropes for the
swing should also be fastened to the
plate, so as to save the necessity Of
is in place, to do it. 1t is we'll enough
to simply bore two holes through the
plate, of the size of the rope to be
used, and then after slipping the ends
of the rope through, to knot them as
shown in Fig. 8; but If you can get a
couple of ring-bolts, such as shown
in Fig. A, they will make a more ship
shape job; bore the holes for the
ring-bolts small enough to make snug
fit. The ropes should be fastened be-
tween "a and 80 inches apart. Manila
hemp rope three-fourths inch or one
inch in diameter is best, but a doubled
hemp clothesline will do If you can
get nothing better.
Every boy is familiar with the form
of swing seat which is notched at the
ends to fit over the rope Gigs. 1, 2
and s., and this is just as satisfactory
a seat as any. 1t is good plan to
nail couple of cleats across the
underside of the board. If it is wide
or of thin wood, to prevent it from
splitting along the center. The east
est way to cut the end notches is by
first boring an inch hole at the inner
end of each hole and then splitting
out the wood with chisel. The rope
for this seat is looped from one fasten-
ing to the other, in one piece.
A seat attached in the manner
shown in Fig. is easier to sit upon,
on account of being supported at four
corners. The illustration shows how
the holes are bored through the seat
and cleats, and how the ropes are

London is laughing over a story
which has recently come out concern
ing Lloyd George. 1t appears that
shortly after the death of King Ed

Wales got into talk with an elderly
Welshman and happened to be the

MUST HAVE PROPER SLEEP.
on This as Matter of Highest
Importance.

The mother who has child at
school may not be able to help him
with his lessons-for the modern sys-
tenn of teaching rather deprecates
home assistance, believe, but there
is one thing she can do for him which
will benefit him even more, and that is
to see that he gets enough sleep.
It is only lately that physicians
have been emphasizing the need of
sleep for children. insufficient sleep
affects the nerves, the temper, the d.
gestion, the mental quickness and
even the morals of children. The
child who gets enough sleep is the one
who is bright and quick mentally, who
grows normally and well, who eats
properly and who is not peevish and
irritable.
An early supper and an early bed
time are the things for the school
child. Then put him in we'll venti-
lated bedroom and let him have ten
or eleven full hours of slumber, and
he'll wake up bright and healthy and
good, too.
Many of the little whining, nervous
children we see are simply suffering
from lack of sleep Many small
naughtinesses simply come from tired
nerves and WEAKNESS of mind and
body So many mothers notice such
difference in the behavior of chill
dren once they have started to school
and are at loss to understand the
reason. 1t is because the daily nap
which the child took before he went
to school has been given up, but the
bedtime hour has not been changed.
Consequently the nerves of the child
suffer
Try giving the school child supper
at half-past five, a nourishing and cas-
lily digested supper, too. Then at
eight, promptly pack him off to bed.
If he doesn't sleep let him sip cup
of hot milk, and sit beside him until
he drowses off. Sleep is a largely &C.
CURED habit and will be easily &C.
quired in a few evenings And, oh,
the difference it will make to the child
in every way.-Exchange

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PROSPECTING, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present Tightening up Of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. It Is really more period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the eoun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected Throughout the
States there are those who If allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi-
tating something good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and 1t is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
Is illuminative to read portions Of the
address of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered a few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are In part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which it
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. / am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. /
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue VIII have reached
the splendid total CT $168,250,000, or
an increase over the year 1912 OF
over 100000. Some indication Of
the magnificent growth Of the Domin-
ion may be CLEANED from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the pc
rod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
THE augmentation of revenue to
which / have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in it's nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue excise, post office
and railways-also gave us very sub.
stantial increases
THAT in a period of great finan.
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce SO substantially
($23,000,000) the debt of the Domin
ion, must be matter Of qualification
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations Of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
In the world"
Owing to the favorable state Of its
finances Canada was In a position tt
pay off heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue Of bills or Sc
es.-Advertisement.

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD


The experience of Motherhood is a try.
ing one to most women and marks dis
finctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OK
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

DISASTROUS PRANK OF BOY
Lad Causes FIood-Traffic Is Stopped
for Hours and Many Fine
Clothes Ruined.

Kansas City, Nov. 3.-The old story,

department and the water department.
closed a saloon temporarily, ruined
four dresses and two suits of clothes,
and tied up traffic on two downtown
streets for half an hour.
The boy spied an empty telephone
cable spool in street. A little block
of wood held it from rolling down hill.
The boy waited until he was sure
there were no policemen watching,
then removed the little block of wood
and ran.
The big spool started slowly at first,
but as it's diameter, and weighing 1000
pounds, rolled on, its momentum in
creased until it was travelling 80 miles
an hour. Just before reaching a
crowded thoroughfare it crashed into
a water plug.
The plug was broken at its base
and the rushing water shot into the
door Of a saloon. Four girls were
within ten feet Of the plug. Their
dresses were ruined. Two men also
were soaked.

WILSON PLAN IS DEFEATED
FOUR FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
PLAN is ADOPTED.
The Original Idea Was for Twelve
Branch Concerns in the
Nation.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The Wilson
administration was defeated when
the senate banking and currency com
mittee tentatively agreed upon four
regional reserve banks for the pro-
posed new currency system, with
provision that after two years the
federal reserve board may add as
many additional banks as it deems
necessary, not exceeding IL.
The pending bill fixes the number
at II and it has been understood that
the administration would not consent
to have it reduced below nine.
The sharp reduction in the number
of reserve banks was the first radical
amendment the committee has agreed
upon and it was earnestly opposed by
the administration supporters in the
committee. Senators Reed and Hitch
cock, however, voted with the five
Republicans for the reduction, leaving
but five Democrats behind the admin
istratfon proposal.
The White House was silent con-
corning the committees action, but it
has been generally supposed that the
president was vigorously opposed to
cutting the number below nine.
The cOmmjttee.has pending still the
proposal to abandon. the administra-
ton regional plan and to create a gov
ernment-controlled central bank.
There is also pending Senator Reeds
proposal that the unification of the re
gional banks be accomplished by the
creation of government clearing
house which would act as a reserve
reservoir.
The question of the capitalization
and stock ownership of the proposed
regional banks was taken up immedi-
ately after the number was tentative
ly fixed, but no decision was reached
in the matter.
The administration supporters con-
tested every step in the reduction in
the number Of the regional banks.
Two of them voted to retain the IL
and three voted for 10 banks. The
proposal to fix the number at eight
was defeated seven to five, and by
the same vote the number was fixed
at four. The proposition to insert the
provise that the federal reserve board
might increase the number to II
after two years, was voted into the
bill with only two members oppos-
ing it.
The committee took a recess to al
low various members to go to their
homes for elections, consideration Of
the bill going over until Wednesday.

NARROWED FOR TEN YEARS
ESKIMO PARTY is FINALLY RES
CUED FROM DRIFT ICE.
Remarkable Story of Adventures of
Ten Persons Received at Winnipeg
From Frozen North.

Winnipeg, Man, Nov. Hudson
Bay officials here received meagre re-
ports from the North that a party of
Eskimos numbering, it is said, ten
persons, were rescued from an island
in the mouth of Hudson bay upon
which they had been marooned for
a period Of 10 years.
The Eskimos were caught off
shore on drift ice and carried, after
weeks of hardships, to the island upon
which they were found. This island
has been steadfastly avoided by YES
sells because of reefs and magnetic
disturbances which affected ships
compasses. It is over 100 miles off the
mainland.
The Eskimos had lived during all
the period OF their forced stay on fish
and seal meat.
Several children were born during
the decade of their Imprisonment and
some of the party had died.
Those who were rescued seemed all
to be in good health.
