ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

R. F. D. No. 5, Lexington, Tenn
my little boy broke out on the face
with that terrible disease, eczema,
when he was just one month old, and
| just thought sure it would kill him,
as it killed our other baby at five
months old 1t would break out in
pimples and scab over, and he cried
day and night. thought that there
was no cure for him at all. His face
would itch and burn so bad that | had
to tie his little hands down so he could
not scratch his face.
I'VE began at once to have him
treated until he was seven months old
and he got worse all the time. ! sent
and got a box of Cuticura Ointment
and one cake of Cuticura Soap ! had
not used them a week until | could
see a great change. and they cured
him sound and well and never left a
single scar" (Signed) Mrs. Lille

Profitina hY Superstition.

After having sat on many juries the
observant man is of the opinion that
the whole human race is still strongly
tarred with the brush of superstition.
81 am confirmed in that belief by
the amount of damages invariably
voted to plaintiffs. whose injuries
smack of superstitious origin" he
said IF a load of bricks should fall
from a fifth story window on to the
head of a man who happened to be
walking under a ladder he would get
twice as much damages as if the lad
der were not there. The element OF
bad luck that attaches to a ladder
would insensibly influence every
juror, and the sum awarded would re-
fleet their prejudices and sympathies. -

Turkey and the Allies

After eight months of fighting the
remarkable war between the Balkan
states and Turkey is officially ended.
"The peace of London" has been duly
signed, and quiet reigns in the rich
territory that once constituted Turkey
in Europe.
Few modern wars have been more
surprising than the one now ended.
When it was begun the powers antici-
pated victory on the part Of Turkey.
They took steps to declare their con-
fidence in Turkish arms, but they
soon saw that they had placed their
Judgment of victory on the wrong
side. The allies won from the begin
ming and at every point. Turkey was
overmatched, and she came out of the
struggle with her prestige for fight
ing largely lost.
Some questions remain to be set
tied. Albania is to have new consti-
tuition, the status of the Aegean
Islands is not altogether determined,
and the occupation of Macedonia is a
matter that concerns Servia and Bull
garia. All these questions will be ami
cably settled, and then Turkey in Eu-
rope will cease to exist, for Constan-
tinople and its suburbs are but small
district, and the Moslem power that
lasted 600 years has at last been
driven back into Asia. 1t overstayed
it's welcome in Europe a long time,
but the jealousy Of nations favored
it and the hour for its disappearance
did not come until "the peace of Lon
don" had been signed last week.

Rural Credits in Europe

The commission that has gone to
Europe to study rural credits is not on
a mere junket 1t proposes to do the
work assigned to it thoroughly and
comprehensively. One subcommittee
will investigate all forms of banking
and credit affecting the farmer, be
those forms cooperative or otherwise.
Another committee will devote it's
time to practical farming, having an
eye to all increases in the fertility of
the soil, and the quality of crops and
live stock. A third committee will as
certain what profits are made by
firms handling agricultural imple-
ments, while fourth committee will
give its time to studies of social life
on the farms, to schools, to farmers
unions and to the betterment of fami-
~ life.
The field is ample, and the COM
mission includes in its make up men
of ability and experience-men well
equipped for study purposes-and it
is believed its conclusions will prove
helpful and valuable. The entire sum-
mer will be devoted to the work in
hand, and the reports of the various
committees and of the commission it.
self will no doubt be printed by Con-
gress for widespread distribution
throughout the 4S states. The federal
commissioners constitute a part of
the undertaking and are really at the
head of it, thus giving it an official

school by appropriating $3.50 per
capita. This provides for ample
food, but there is little left for
clothing.
The boys are in need of new uni

timid, quiet lad. who would slip around to

held little court of his own at the drug
store. He was the delight and pride of
men two and three times his age. They
still talk of the pictures he drew, the
quiet pranks he played; but their greater
pride in him is as a playwright. If you
find one of that group now, and speak OF
O. Henry he will ask: did you ever
hear of the play Will wrote when he was
1862" and then he will launch into a
laughing description of the little play
written IS years ago.
