highways, Mrs. K. L. Fenton of the

Over 100 finely executed slides were
shown with the stereopticon illustrat-

said:
TN five good roads states-Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Ohio and Indiana--77 per cent of the
children of proper age are in school.
These states have Improved IS per
cent of their reads. In five bad roads
states-Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia,
Arkansas and South Dakota-less than
60 per cent of the children of school
age are in school, and these states
have improved less than per cent of
their roads. In four, good roads states,
there are 100000 people and only 20.4
600 native born white men and women

J. ALL OVER BODY
Began on Cheeks With Pimples.
ltched Badly. Caused Dis6gure-

Him. Used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Eczema Left Him.

Roxbury, Ohio. -" When my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking out on
his cheeks. The eczema began just with
pimples and they seemed to itch SO badly
he would scratch his face and cause a
matter to run. Wherever that matter
would touch, it would cause another
pimple until 1t spread all over his body.
Tt caused Disagreement while it lasted.
He had fifteen places on one arm and
his head had several. erdeepest places
on This cheeks were as large as silver
dollar on each side. He was SO restless at
night we had to put mittens on him to keep
him from scratching them with his finger
nails. He could not sleep because I put
those n1ittens on which would not allow him
to scratch and then he would wake up and
be cross. liz he got q little too warm at
night ii seemed to hurt badly.
we tried a treatment and he didn't get
any better. He had the eczema about three
weeks when we began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. bathed him at night with
the Cuicura Soap and spread the Cuticurs
Ointment ON and the eczema left. tSignedl

COMMISSIONER OF 5LIC
HEALTH AT BISMARCK, SAYS
N. D. CITY DEATH RATE Is TOO
HIGH - DOES NOT FIGURE ON
THOSE COMING TO HOSPITALS.

DR.. ]. Grassick of Grand Forks,
former secretary of the state
board of health, says DR.. Smyth
of Bismarck, in making the asser-
ton that the death rate in North
Dakota cities is exceptionally high,
is not basipg such statement on
fact; that there has been charg-
ed against the cities a number of
deaths of patients brought to the
big hospitals from other points.
BY charging these patients against
the cities, the death rate is made
to appear higher than it really is.

In THE HOTEL LOBBIES

One of the travelling men who used
to know Bob Mcintyre, the clerk at
the Waldorf twenty five years ago, be-
fore he even thought of clerking in a
hotel tells this story ON Bob and
when the latter hears it he just turns
his head and makes no reply, so it
may or may not have occurred. The
story is in poetry and Of course Bob
is supposed to have been the one who
broke the news" and it it is as
follows:
Tim Murphy and his friend, Pat
Kline;
Were blasting rock one day,
When a blast went up and blew poor
Tim
Clear to the milky way.
When Tim came down he came so fast
He left his soul behind; =.
An arm and leg was all of him,
That they could ever find
The foreman said to Bob, GO home
And see Tins poor old wife,
And gently break the news to her
That Tim has lost his life"
SO Bob went sadly to Tins house,
And when he saw Tim's wife,
And cried, did Mr.. Casey have
Insurance On his life?"
"You bet your life he has, said she,
"Hurray for that said Bob.
