my children were afflicted with what
they called ringworm of the scalp
contracted from house-cat they were
playing with. The ringworm formed
on their scalps about the size Of q
silver dollar and their hair fell out,
leaving round scale or crust on their
scalps. Their hair fell out in round
spots. There was terrible itching. and
they scratched till the blood came.
They were very fretful and could not
sleep at night, and they were very
cross.

simply dampen comb or soft brush

MADE A VICTORY FOR "sENcE'
Farmer Most cIeverIy outwitted, and
Then Insult Was Added
to Injury.

Two large orchards, side by side,
brought much profit to Farmer Tur-
NUT, and much trouble. For the or
chards were considered fair game by
the youth of the village, and two
orchards are harder to watch than
one.
One day, looking from one orchard
to the other, Turmut saw a small boy
shin down tree, and uttering word
of warning to another imp still up
among the apples, ran off.
Turmut reached that tree in record
time.
Got yer this time!" he roared to
the boy almost hidden among the
leaves. Come down."
Getting no answer, and not being
in hurry, he sat down and waited.
Time passed, and still he waited,
until servant brought him note
that had just been dropped through
the letterbox. He did not wait after
he had read 1t, as follows:
Some people as apples, some as
sence. You bin watchin pare of
trowsis stuffed with straw, and we
bin gettin' your apples from the other
orchard. Crate victory for sence!"

ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.

ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.
We can only mention the vast i'm.
portance which alcohol plays as a fac
tor in producing tuberculosis, Alco-
hol in any form, mild or strong, is a
protoplasmic poison, and its immedl-
ate effect upon the body is to lessen
its natural resistiye powers. and to re-
duce vitality. Thus alcoholism ia
vors the invasion of infectious disor-
ders generally, and none more than 10
berculosis.
Not infrequently the use of alcohol
ic beverages is associated with insult
ficient food; for money which should
be spent in the provision Of nourish-
ing food is wasted on drink, and the
poor victim suffers a double affection.
His body is poisoned by the alcohol
and the natural sense of hunger
which he ought to possess Is dead
ened, and he is in q, state of semi
starvation, which renders him readily
susceptible to the germs of consump-
ton. insufficient feeding must be re-
garded as an important predisposing
cause, and the same Is largely true
OF insufficient clothing.-A. B. Olsen,

ABOLISH LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
From an Address by Clinton M How
ard.)
suppose the news came tomorrow
that we had established wireless COM
munication with the planet Mars; that
they had heard of our shoes, cotton
and wooden goods, furniture and other
articles of manufacture, and had sent
us an order, accompanied with the
cash coined into American money, for
two billion dollars worth of farm prod
ucts and manufactured articles, to be
shipped over the new railless trunk
line soon to be In operation. A stand
ing order to be duplicated the first of
every January indefinitely! We would
not have the factories or labor to pro-
duce them; we would not have the ma
chinery to make them; we would not
have sufficient raw material to manu-
facture them. Such an order would
put every factory on double time. and
every man on extra pay. But how
much better would 1t be II we placed
such an order for ourselves, have the
work, get the wages, and keep the
goods to enjoy In our own homes!
Let US abolish the liquor traffic and
such an order can be placed every
year with the merchants of the United
States.
Six cents out of every dollar spent
In the saloon goes to the man that
makes what is sold over the bar.
Twenty-eight cents of the dollar goes
to the producer of the raw materials.
Spent for the home in twenty other
ways and twenty-three cents out of
every dollar (instead of six) would go
to labor, and fifty cents Of avery dollar
dnstead of twenty-three) would go for
raw material. Forty cents more of
every dollar now spent for rum would
go back to the pocket of the working
man and the producer.
Two billion dollars more business
for the merchants; five hundred mill
ion dollars more to the producers;
four hundred million dollars more
paid In wages to labor, and one million
more men than is now required to
make the goods would be the economic
reward year by year for national total
abstinence.

MARCHING RIGHT ALONG.


The annual report of the correspond.
Ing secretary of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, Mrs.
Frances P Parks, shows that the past
year has been one Of prodigious activi-
ty among the state organizations.
The passage Of the Kenyon-Webb bill,
removing the shield of federal protec-
ton from the Interstate traffic in
liquor, infused new life into the hearts
of many who previously felt that the
enforcement of state prohibition was a
hopeless task. During the year, 1888
new unions were organized and 1898
Loyal Temperance Legions (children's
societies). Twenty-six states made a
gain over all losses in membership.
One organizer crossed the Atlantic
and established unions and Loyal
Temperance, Legions in London. A
territorial union and local unions were
organized in Alaska and local unions
in the Yukon territory. For the COM
ing year, Mrs. Parks says, the w. C.
T. U. cannot do better than to better
do the things it has been doing for
four decades, namely: Push scientific
temperance instruction in schools (the
boys and girls of today are the citi-
zens of tomorrow; spread the truth
about prohibition by publishing and
distributing literature, through the
press, and by personal work; oppose
efforts for the restoration of the sale
of liquor in the United States army
and in any place from which it has
been banished; guard and protect the
prohibition territory acquired and
steadfastly seek to add to 1t; urge
as prohibition measurable ballot
for women.
Forward to greater things, is the
eager ncte of the white-ribboner's
faith"

Insanity.

What is insanity" was the subject
of a paper read before the British
Royal Society of Medicine by DR..
Charles A. MERCER. DR.. MERCER de-
plores the loose application of the ter
rible word to cases that do not merit
it. Thus giddiness, epileptic symp-
toms. fear of closed spaces, as well
as extended spaces, have nothing
to do with insanity, since insan-
ity and unsoundness of mind are not
convertible terms. No one should
dare call man insane until his con-
duct has been found disordered. That,
of course, does not mean "disorderly
conduct" in the police court meaning.
coupled, usually, by third disorder
of brain function, would be true insan-
ity. If to these fourth element be
added, such as poisoning, myxoedema,
govt; specific fever, Graves's disease
then new diagnosis is needed to as
certain whether the insanity" is not
really delirium of the more COM
prehensive disease.

FACTS 70 REMEMBER.

Employers in all branches of bust.
ness are putting up the bars against
the man who frequents the saloons.
Every young man should bear In mind
that every time he Is seen entering or
coming out Of saloon he is reducing
his chances to secure good position
with responsible business firm.
When business men want young men
to fill positions of trust and response
bility they don't go to the saloon or
gambling room to find them; neither
will they accept the saloonkeeper's
recommendation.

TIL ERE ARE T HREE
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
ovcrhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one--it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt Of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a $l,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 2O% january LIST,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.
