FACE DlSFIGURED WITH
SKIN TROUBLE

31ez Foster Ave-, Baltimore, Md
About five months ago little blistera
appeared ON my face. They looked
like blisters from fire burns. They
itched and burned something terrible,
which caused me to rub them and they
burst, then sores appeared which dis
figured my face. My face was all full
of sores. The disease spread from my
face to my neck and back. When any.
thing touched them they would burn
and stick to my clothes. which kept
me from sleeping and made me suf-
fer terribly.
Il used home remedies and I used
salve but 1t did no good / suffered
about three months then I/saw the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment adver-
tised and thought would send and
get a sample and, try them i used the
sample of Cuticura Soap and Oint-

In the Pinkham Laboratory as Lynn,

thousands Of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they have

best animal for him to raise would be
one or other Of the lard types. This
Is matter which the farmer will have
to decide for himself.
After the farmer has decided upon
the breed which he believes to be the
most profitable for him to raise, how
ever, he should then stick TO that
breed and endeavor to develop It to its
most perfect condition. The most
famous individual hogs and the most
famous herds of animals have been
built up, developed and perfected, only
by sticking to the breed and getting
the most out Of it
Take the ''razorback," for instance
Some writer has said that this breed
Of hogs has no place in modern agri-
culture" If we consider the razor
back from the standpoint Of breed
only, we fully agree with the writer
just quoted, but even this hog is sus-
ceptible to much improvement
through an intelligent system of grad.
ing by the use of males of improved
breeding and especially of the larger
kinds, on the best Of the native fe
males.
In some parts of the extreme soRfh
the woods &re full' of razorbaG&s
and the problem there is how TO get
rid of them and at the same tame
make the most out Of them. The mrs;
step should he the conversion Ct al

Detecting TubeNcuIosIs.

Coughing does not necessarily mean
tuberculosis in cattle. Cattle cough
from many different causes. but a
chronic cough In this class Of stock
always gives reasonable suspicion Of
tuberculosis, where there is no other
cause apparent.
Tuberculosis In cattle cannot always
be detected by their PHYSICAL condi-
ton. A diseased animal may be very
fat or very thin. Tuberculin is the
only reliable means we have for de-
tecting tuberculosis. except in rare
cases.

Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary Of the

active men Of the race in religious
work. DR.. Jordan is a notable figure
in the Baptist church and is successful
in his efforts to foster the interest Of
the denomination. He Yields wide in
fluence. not only on matters bearing
upon the work of his church. but in
matters pertaining to the welfare Of
the race.
He is foremost in all movements
helping the race. He has been the
means Of inspiring many young men
and women Of the race to inter the
missionary field in Africa. DR.. Jordan
is intensely earnest in his work.
During the early part of the spring
he made a tour in the interest Of the
foreign mission board through Texas
and Oklahoma. He was successful on
this tour. and while at the Baptist con-
vention the foreign mission board of
the Texas convention contributed ST.

DR.. Jordan was pleased with the en-
thusiasm of the connection seen while
in these states and made the statement
that Baptists were awakening to their
responsibilities of their less fortunate
brethren In Africa as never before. f

TRUTHS ABOUT SOCIETY.

The "Entre Nous" element has done
little, II anything to better civic eondi-
tisns.
Now that the population of Mime
apolis is increasing rapidly, it is i'm
portant that the Negroes should keep
pace with the times, and share in its
growth. Strangers are coming in our
midst who possess qualities, which will
make it better for us, If they are
kindly received and fairly treated.
There has been among Negroes in
every community a select element
known as Society" which has always
been a hindrance to the advancement
of the moral welfare of its citizens.
They often represent the original off,
springs, who have done nothing, and
by their extreme conservativeness,
hinder the progress of others. We
recognize the rights of the home
circle, but should welcome the stran-
ger within our gates, especially in re-
gard to their effort and talent. Many
recognize no merit In others because
they are not lone of u.s." There is no
unity among our people. Every eff.
fort to bring about this has been a
failure. This Society" must be rel
egated. They are literally unable to
cope with present day conditions, and,
II the question Is brought to a moral
issue, are deficient. It should be the
purpose and pleasure of leaders of the
smart set, to strengthen themselves
by encouraging others, who aim to do
something. We are our brothers
keeper, and should encourage him
rather than give place to criticism.
There are some among Society" who
are far worse than those, who do not
set bounds to the limits Of friendship
While we believe that the home circle
Is sacred, and our social relations re-
fleet greatly upon our character; we
should not fear to touch sleeve and
elbow with others, who may have a
better reputation in the community
where they formerly lived than we
have in our Society" There has been
no leadership either socially or pol
itically in Minneapolis. There is not
q man or woman, who can say without
contradiction, that there is. Some have
used others of lesser intelligence and
have held some prominence but they
with their ignorant followers have
made miserable showing. If we are
to have caste, let those who desire
it drew their circumscribed limitations
and stay within their circle; but If we
are to have united spirit of repre-
sentative Negro citizenship. we must
begin now, or forever struggle along,
on the outskirts of civic and moral
interests, in the name of a selfish set
called "Societvo
