ERUPTION DIsFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-"In the
spring of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. It resembled a
large ringworm, only it differed in
that it was covered with watery bis
tiers that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching it.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night When the eruption was at it's
worst the teacher Of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement of her
face was gone.
II wrote and received a sample OF
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, which
we used according to directions, and
they gave instant relief, so We bought
some more. 1t gradually grew better.
We kept on using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and in three or four months
the child was entirely cured"

trip in the year 1912, or thereabouts. :"
The group grunted skeptically.
What was there to get excited
about?" asked a young captain.
The danger of it, said the captain.
"The danger?"
Aye. 'Tis hard to believe nova
days, but then there really was dan
ger in the prosaic art of sailing
through the air. Imagine the circum-
stances if you can. If every time you
stepped aboard your boats and started
away from earth you didn't know
whether you'd land on your feet or on
your head, wouldn't you be more inter-
ested in your business than you are?
Well, that was the way it was in
those old, forgotten days of yore.

section of the Aeronautical museum at
Paris now-of cloth and wood, imitat-

him he couldn't do it. said the skep-
tics after they're coming home from
the funeral. It's impossible
But after awhile another man got
to thinking about it. Maybe it can
be done after ALL says he; and then
he goes to work and built another ma

came, and everybody sent flowers and

for the florists. They passed resolu-
tions encouraging the progress OF avi-
alton. They loved the game.

gan to try to satisfy their curiosity

It was the year 1862.
Five thousand feet above the heart

at its aerial anchorage. rode the great
pneumatic receiving float of the Five
Continents & Australia Aerial line. In
the master airigator's room on the
float group of officers were gathered
around old Capt. Martin MacManus,
master Alligator, retired, the oracle of
the line.
My word" said a young M. A.,
thumbing the leaves of an old history.
1t must have been a queer world in
those days."
What days?" asked Captain Mac
Manus.
The days of the land and water
era" replied the young man. "Tbe
years just preceding the aerial era.
I've just been reading a reprint of an
ancient magazine article. The Sport
of Aerial Navigation dated 1872"
The group of airlgators laughed as
one man.
Fancy that!" said one Aerial

Il was there at the time" said Cap
tain MacManus. II remember. Be

captain, his eyes on the great belt-map

ascent. All, then was when the world
began to get interested. You see, be
fore then there had been nothing to
arouse the curiosity in the fact that a
man was attempting to fly. Everybody
knew what his finish would be. There
was no novelty in watching what could
only end one way; and that was in the
days when the world was young and
crazy for novelty. But with the COM
ing of the first air machine that gave
a man chance to come back to earth
otherwise than on his head, then there
was something to feed the curiosity,
and then was when the excitement
grew warm and air-sailing was looked
upon as a sport.
"You may think from this that peo-
pie were blood-thirsty in those days,
but on the contrary they had travelled
far from the days Of the old Roman
arena. The Romans turned thumbs
down if the show was dull; but the
people of the age Of 1912 only fought
one another for souvenir pieces OF the
aeroplane In which their faverite avi-
ator, as they called them then. had
been killed. Civilization had made
vast strides.

days when people would do anything
for money. There would be prizes for

thing he mustn't come down on his
head; If he did the prize went to some

were still curious. You don't under
stand what that means. Since Du-
rang overcame gravitation, and we've
been able to go everywhere in less
than no time, we've lost the instinct
of curiosity. We've seen it all. In
1912 the human race was badly al
fiicted. People wanted to see every
thing they never had seen before For
one thing they wanted to see how Tar
a man could fall without breaking his
neck. That's what made them look
upon aeroplane flying as a sport.
"There was a long time, you see,
when men actually didn't know

STOP BEGGING IN FRANCE
Authorities Have a Scheme Which
They Think viii Tend to Allie
viate the Evil.

Every now and again, when we go
round to the Paris Police Prefecture
to see and hear the record of the city's
happenings of the day, an official re-
marks: you won't want this, gen.
tlemen, take It? The usual story.
Dead beggar in the garnet, money in
the mattress" A journalist inquiries:
How much?" The amounts vary
from one hundred pounds to couple
Of thousand. and newspaper interest
in the occurrence dies with that.
But the authorities here have been
working on a scheme for the suppress
sion Of fraudulent begging. There are
far too many beggars in Paris, who
leave considerable sums of money be-
hind them when they die. These peo-
pie have invariably been helped, if not
entirely supported, by the Assistance
Publique for years, or at all events for
many months Tin other words, the tax
payers, theatergoers and racegoers
have been keeping them), the chart
table have placed money in their grimy
hands, and when the police find the
inevitable sum of money hidden in the
mattress or elsewhere in the inevitar
bly, grimy garnet, it is inevitable that
legitimate heirs appear, who prove
their near relationship to- the dead
man or woman, and carry OF the mon
ey, to the public loss and their own
private gain.
A scheme is now being prepared for
q bill which shall allow the Assistance
Publique to recover, for help given,
from the estate OF one Of these as
sisted persons. OF course, IL the bill
pass, and the socialists will doubtless
raise sentimental objection to its pass
ing, because it will be quite a simple
and practical bill OF course, If the bill
be made law the beggars viii find
some way round it. There never was,
nor win be, cleverer beggar in the
world than the successful street beg
gar Of Paris. He can give you change
for gold coin II you need it, without
the least self-consciouSness or lack Of
self-respect, and there are few street
beggars who have quite the impudence

field a mile long by half a mile wide
and build grand stand around it that
would hold million people. more or
less. Did they pay people to come and
sit for hours watching few ma
chimes in the air? They did not. The
people paid for the privilege.
1.-THE first day never brought out
the biggest crowds. People didn't
know whether anything worth seeing
would happen. But suppose one of
the boys took tumble. Or, better, if
half dozen of them fell. Next day
the police would have to fight for
their lives to keep the falling field
clear. That's what they called the
space where the fiiers landed-som
times.
"All the gentle and refined people of
the day who had the price would be
out there waiting for things to hap
pen. The ladies would be there by
thousands. It was before they could

friend who became an aviator. He
was bright young lad, and everybody
said he had a brilliant career before

people meant to have reporters sit

to get up in the morning, and hiding
| in the bathroom when you went to
bed at night. If this happened to you
everybody said you were famous. and
wives asked their husbands why they
! couldn't go and do likewise. This
Dung friend of mine-Jim, by name
saw that the quickest and surest way
| to become famous was to go up in the
air. He did. He went higher and
faster than anybody had gone before,
and the papers printed his pictures all
over the front page; and he came
down farther and harder than any
man was meant to do and live to tell
the tale.
Have you any last words to say,
Jim?' said, bending over his hospital
cot.
Then Jim showed himself, true
hero of that age, and his words ex-
planned why men risked their neck in
the sport of aviation: Don't mind
me- says Jim; but see that the Sun
day papers get a picture of the
wrecked machine.

by flying their own machines?" asked
one of the audience.
NO." replied Captain MacManus.
.sThe Wright brothers didn't; they
knew too much about the game"
Didn't you ever make any fights
yourself, captain?" asked someone.
Captain MacManus shook his head
and winked.
"oh, no." said he. That's why I'm
still here"

Two Vital Questions.

There seems to be but two vital aucs-
tions to consider in discussing the cop
per metal at the present time:
'F'irst-Has the present price OF 17g
cents caused an increase in production
from properties that would not be pro-
duclng were copper materially lower say
IL or IL cents? Tho answer 10 this Is
unqualihedly No
"Second-Has there been a material
diminution in consumption, due to the
present price of the metal--peopio either
waiting from making the purchases that
they normally would, or using substi-
tutes? The answer to this question ie
also unGual!fiedly No
can there be any other conclusion but
that the metal is entitled to sell at this
price,
"Jhe large American consumers made
a careful study and investigation OF the
metal situation. and having satisfied
themselves that the stocks of copper were
depleted. as held by the actual consum-
ers. 60 minimum point, both here and
abroad, and having satisfied themselves
that, except for this cessation, due to the

RAY CONSOLIDATED IS
FACING GOOD YEAR
Output Should Measure Over
Fifty Million Pounds of
Red Metal.

In calling attention to the fact thai the
1912 copper production OF the Ray Con-
solidated company was close to $1,000, 900
pounds. George I. Walker predicts that
the 1912 output Will measure over Co.
600, 900 pounds. and may reach as high as
GO. 600 pounds, After calling attention
TO the shortage Of labor throughout 1912
as one of the handcaps under which the
Ray management labored. Walker says:
Another factor that is preventing
more rapid increase in Rays production
is the very low grade OF ore 1t is now
treating. The system OF mining in use
makes IT necessary to mine the upper
portion of the ore body first. ii viii be
recalled that considerable extension OF
the deposit was discovered some time
ago and that it became necessary To mine
this ore Immediately or abandon II FOR all
time The block contains 100000 tons OR
more that averages about l.06 per cent
copper and this, with the ore mined III
the northern workings, makes up an aN-
eraSe OF about LIS per cent As a re-
which Is considerably below the average
OF the whole deposit. Ray is not vet get
ung the full amount of production TO
which it is entitled In view OF the ton

''The high-srade deposit OF ore which
forms the bottom of the Ray Central de-
posit, comprising over roc. 900 tons aver
aging about u per cent, is now being de-
Veloped preparatory TO mining and
quantity OF this ore will begin to %,

continue TO increase its tonnage and pro-
duction. BY April II Is expected that Ray
will be producing 100000 pounds OF cop.
