CRUST COVERED BOYS HEAD

Bolton, Ga.-"My little boys head
was covered with hard thick crust
which cracked with the least pressure
causing a discharge of bloody corrup-
ton which was SO offensive that l
could hardly hold him. He was very
cross. Some called 1t milk crust,
another running letter and another &C.
zema.
After trying several patent medi.
cines l decided to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. After using the sample
purchased some Cuticura Soap and a
box Of Cuticura Ointment. After u.s.
ing Cuticura Soap and Ointment three
days / was able to remove all the
crust and in one week he was entirely
cured. Cuticura Soap and Ointment
also cured my baby of an liberated
sore behind her ear and now we think
we cannot keep house without them

HELP FOR ENGLISH FARMERS
Credit Society Organized by Small
Farmers and Others.

In Norfolk, England, there is a small
agricultural village, Whissonett. In
1912 there were in and around this
parish about fifty holdings ranging
from one to fifty acres in size. In
1905 the tenants and owners started 2
cooperative credit society with fa
members, but it now has about thirty.
some of whom are small farDlers-
some shopkeepers or artisans, and
some are workingmen who have taken
up land as an additional source of In
come.
For the first six years the society
worked with capital accumulated from
deposits made by the members them
selves. 1t was a rule that each mem
Der should add to his deposit at least
% cents a month, or be deprived OF his
interest. The deposits by members at
the end of 1911 reached about $3.50,
on which three per cent. interest Is
paid. The society had made 80 loans
to members amounting to about $1,15O.
at five per cent. Loans are granted
only for agricultural and home making
purposes, and then only when COM
| mittee has satisfied itself that such
loan is likely to prove profitable to the
borrower, who is required to find two
| sureties for it's punctual repayment.
Loans are generally made repayable
in II months, though the time and
/ conditions may be changed to suit
! special cases.
The loans have been used mainly
for the purchase of cattle, horses,
sheep, pigs, seeds. fertilizers and i'm
plements, writes James B. Norman OF
! Maryland In the Farm and Home.
| The first loan taken by member was
for $25, which aided him to buy some
pigs, that he sold later at handsome
profit. Another member borrowed
SIS, to which he added $40 of his own.
and purchased some young cattle,
which he sold within year and
cleared profit Of $25.
Many other illustrations could be
given showing how cooperative
finance has helped to improve the eco
nomic condition Of the borrowers.

exceedingly small. 1t proves beyond
question, however, that cooperative
finance serves best those who need its
benefits the most.
More business was done in 1912, be-
cause the society borrowed $3.50 at
four per cent, and had this to loan in
addition to the regular deposits. II
has made a special levy of 25 cents
a year per member to pay the salary
Of the assistant secretary. Since 1t
became self-supporting it can now Dor
row money when necessary, is enabled
to make larger loans to members, and
keeps its accumulated profits In a sep
arate deposit account as a true re-
serve fund to be drawn upon only
when authorized to do so by general
meeting Of the society.
Cooperative finance, therefore, even
when conducted on the simplest basis
and among the neediest classes Of peo
pie, brings about benefits which would
not come except from this source. II
has helped those who need credit
most; 1t has made the members more
selfreliant; 1t has added to their in

Chose the Lesser Evil,

A gentleman from the north was en-
joying the excitement of a bear hunt
down in Mississippi. The bear was
surrounded in a small cane thicket.
The dogs could not get the bear out
and the planter who was at the head
of the hunt called to one of the ne
groes:
Sam, 60 in there and get the bear
out"
The negro hesitated for moment
and then plunged into the cane. A
few moments later the negro, the bear
and the dogs we're rolling upon the
ground outside. After the hunt was
over the visitor said to the negro:
"Were you not afraid to go into
that thicket with that bear?"
"Cap'n," replied the negro, 1T was

ELEPHANTS ACT AS NURSES
Indian Mothers Satisfied Their Chill

1t is by no means uncommon in In

keeper of an elephanO to be cared for
by his animals, says Harper's Weekly.
The whole family of the mahout thus
become, as it were. parasites to the
elephant by whom they earn their liv'

mothers systematic placing Of her
baby in an elephants care and with
in reach of it's trunk while the mother
herself goes to fetch water or to get
wood or materials to cook the family
meal.
1t is pointed out that no jackal or
wolf would be likely to pick up and
carry off a baby which was thus con-
fided to the care of an elephant. Most
people who have lived in the jungle
know how very possible it is for an
animal of the first class to carry of
a baby when it is lying in a nut or
when the mother is unprovided with
means to fight off the marauder.

him, liberties which the elephant
seems to endure on the principal that
they do not annoy him while they
amuse the child. One may see, 1t is
averred, a little native child, quite
naked. about two feet high, standing
on an elephants bare back and taking
| it down to the water to battle, vocifer
ating all the while in most unbecom

mand, lies down and enjoys himself
leaving just portion Of his body, like
a small island, above the water. UP
on this part of the elephant the child
will stand and shout, yelling all thu
more if he has several companions o
his own age also in charge Of ele
plants. all wallowing in the waite
around him. If the child should sill
off his island the elephants trunk i'm
mediately replaces him in safety.
