WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had a few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to

were at first small watery blisters, just

scratching at this until in few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color

skin was cracked and scaly looking

CHICKEN, AND AGAIN CHICKEN
Ideas Of What Should Constitute

Speaking of fried chicken, hot bis

federate veteran, you may recall Gen.
Robert e. Lees famous dictum:
Bring me fried chicken. Not one
fried chicken, not two fried chickens.
Just fried chicken-unlimited fried
chicken
Corn fritters and sweet potatoes
are part of fried chicken in my opin-
ion.
Some people lay great stress on
the hot biscuit casualty list, but am
willing to take two dozen risks at a
sitting in case the biscuit is small,
fiaky, white inside like snow, hot, with
plenty of firm, prime butter.
Peach cobbler is best served in a
soup bowl, and it should nearly fill the
bowl. There should be always pitch
er of sauce favored with vanilla, wine,
and highly sweetened
THE sauce never has enough wine
in it. To overcome this defect pour a
quantity of the sauce over the cobbler
and then add a wine glass full of old

Not always true, perhaps, not in

with gentle hand, but today she d.
vined subterfuge; the tale was meant
to hide Mrs. Jefferson's real feelings.
Fran ventured through the trumpet:
II wish there was a man-secretary

old soldier-there's going to be fight

She knew there was no such word as
"git," but she was seeking to symbol

her teeth, each little pearl meeting a
pearly rival, her git" had something
of the force of physical ejectment.
Behind large spectacle lenses,
sparks flashed from Mrs. Jefferson's
eyes, She shifted battle. But her
tightly compressed lips showed that
she lacked both Fran's teeth and
Fran's intrepidity. One steps eau;
tiously at seventy-odd.
Fran comprehended. The old lady
must not let it be suspected that she
was aware of Gregory's need of cotton
in straining ears, such as had saved
Ulysses from siren voices. The pre-
tense of observing no danger kept the
fine old face uncommonly grim.
Little girls shouldn't fight" was
her discreet rejoinder. Then leaning
over the wheel, she advanced her
snow-white head to the head of coal
black. Better not stir up dragons"
Fran threw back her head and
laughed defiantly. Bring on your
dragons" she cried boastfully. There's
not one of 'em I'm afraid Of" She
extended one leg and stretched forth
her arm. 'I'll say to the Dragon,
Stand up'-and she'll stand; I'll say
Lie down'-and down she'll lie. I'll
say 'Git'-and she'll" Fran waved
her dragon to humiliation.
Goodness" the old lady exclaimed,
getting nothing of this except the PAN
tomime; that, however, was eloquent
She recalled the picture of David in
her girlhood's Sunday-school book.

She broke into a delicious smile which
seemed to food the wrinkles of her
face with the sunshine of many dear
old easy-going years.
Fran smote her forehead. II have
few pebbles here" she called
through the trumpet.

DISTRESS IN ENGLAND
Need of Relief for Rural Labor
ers Pressing.

London. Oct. "A summary OF the first
part of the land inquiry report, on which
will be based the next step OF the gov
ernments programme OF social legisla-
ton. has been made public and shows
the pressing need OF relief for rural la
borers.
The report. which is made under the
direction of David Lloyd George, Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer. states that the
wages now paid do not allow the level or
physical efficiency 10 be maintained. The
question. it is urged is the more press
ing because since 1900 prices have risen
disproportionately TO wages. Objection is
shown TO an increasing degree by labor
ers 10 the wage being partly paid In kind
The laborer feels the long hours and the
absence of holidays nearly as much as
the lowness Of wages. The loss OF wages
through wet weather is a strong subject
OF complaint.
A surprising feature Of the report Is the
absence OF any reference TO the inuch as
cussed minimum wage OF - a week.
