SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size Of
a silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched it caus'
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her n~ostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child.
and nothing seemed to be of any use
'Then I got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after l washed 1t with Cuticura Soar
and then put on the Cuticura Oint
ment they seemed to soothe her ant
she did not try to rub them off. Il
was only a few days before her face
was all healed UP, and there has been
no return Of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely

a BAsEHALL TARGET

Here is a splendid target for the
back yard or vacant lot. 1t may be
used for archery, or when practicing
shooting with your air rifle or home
made cross-bow; but it win also DO a
good target to throw at, and for this
purpose will be most useful during
the early part Of the baseball season
when you are trying to get that pitch
ing arm in condition. The target may
be set up over an imaginary home
plate, at the proper height, SO the
center Of the target will be on a line
with your shoulder; then, when you
take up your position in your pitch
er's box you will face a mechanical
umpire that will not fail to render
you accurate decisions on your
throws.
AS you will see by the working
drawings, the target is very simple to
make. For material, you will require
a box about is inches square and 8
inches deep, and a dozen tomato

BOATS FOR SCHOOL "KlDs'
Argentine Government Thus Reaches
Thousands of Children to Edu-
cate Them.

Buenos Aires.-The Argentine gov
eminent has solved the problem Of
providing education for the floating
population along the delta of the La
Plata river with school boats. These
floating schools go from point to point
along the La Plata and It's tribu-
taries, changing the roll Of students
as the school steams to new territory
along the waterfront.
In addition to saving thousands Of
dollars in the annual expenses of the
department of education, 1t is Off
cially reported that education is now
being brought to thousands of Ar
gentine children who were previously
without any scholastic attention what
soever.
Each schoolship consists of double
deck sections devoted to the higher
and lower classes; while a terrace and
private apartments for the teaching
staff form the superstructure. The
ships have a capacity of two hun
bred pupils each. They are absolutely
health assuring. and their value In
meeting the peculiar difficulties con
fronting the education department
in the La Plata delta is considerable.
Indeed their success has been such
that a number of additional school
ships for other waterfront districts
Nre now In course of construction.

erlstow and Golf.

Sam Blythe of the Saturday Eve.
ming Post says that Senator Bristow
of Kansas is SO tall that when he
plays golf he uses clubs q foot long
or than those ordinarily used, and
that when he hits the ball 1t goes a
mlle-when he hits it."
Which recalls a story told On Bris-
tow when he first fell before the
temptation to play golf. He wanted
to know how the game was played.
well, you see,' said his instructor,
you put the ball right here, Just
this way. Now, see that mound over
there about a mile and a half7 Well,
on that little mound there Is a little
hole, and the play Is to put the ball
into that hole In one stroke"
Bristow let drive with the same
force that he had acquired in split
ting rails In Kentucky, and the party
followed the ball. When they came
up to It they found, to the surprise
of everyone but the Kansas senator,
that the ball was within three inches
Of the hole.

TOLD HER LIES AMBITION
Small Girl Somewhat crudeIy Ex-
pressed Her Desire to Be a
Teacher When She Grew Up.

At one time or another during the
ward school life Of a little girl there
prevails the ambition to become a
teacher. Perhaps it is the indisputable
authority possessed by the hand that
Yields the ruler or the nonchallant dis
play of wisdom on topics surround
ed by the most inaccessible difficulties
to the small boy and girl. They will
nearly always tell their ambitions to a
well liked teacher, and one rather sur
prising declaration was given by a
little maid in one of Miss Clara Town
sends room before she became princi-
pal of the James school.
Among the special favors coveted
by the youngsters is the permission
to stay behind after school and clean
the blackboard. One evening a little
girl was given the desired privilege,
and while engaged in the task she
struck up a shy sort of conversation
with Miss Townsend. Finally the
usual confession was made.
When l grow up l am going to be
a teacher" she announced.
THAT SOP" pleasantly asked Miss
Townsend. "And why do you want
to be a teacher?"
WELL" was the rather surprising
answer, "Tll have to be either q
teacher or a lady, and would rather
be a teacher. News.

NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Hubby's First and Last Experience at
a Millinery Store, Was Alto
gether Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph ". Moss Of In
diana did not care much for a hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about 1t.
Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain,
and, instead of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought a hat.
Il a certainly pick out a better
one than that" said Mr.. Moss.
So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not a word as the
comedy milliner displayed n beau
tiful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
a millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one Of
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock. Mrs. Moss looked we'll in
it. She was pleased.
"Ill take that" said the Hoosiel
congressman. How much is it?"
Forty dollars" said the pretty cir
without even a wink.

The massive proportions and ornate
architecture of the cathedral at
Toledo make it one of the most gor-
geous in the world. After the bright
glare Of the Spanish sunlight, 1t is
marvellous how beautiful Is the fnte-
r1or as 1t ZONES streaming through
$50 varicolored windows. The pave
ment is of v~ariegatetd marble and
around the walls are twenty-three
elaborate chapels.
The greatest artists of Spain la
bored on this cathedral for six cen
turtles. 1t is not strange, therefore,
that it excites the visitors enthusi-
asm. The choir, for example, Is
decorated with probably the most
elaborate wood carving in the world.
Around a pavement of white marble
rise, on three sides, two rows of seats
for the priests, one above the other.
Their arms, back, feet, headpieces
and ratings are exquisitely carved
into sacred, grotesque, NEUROLOGICAL
Or historical subjects in basrelief.
Ones first impression on entering
the cathedral is most vivid and i'm
posing. Five naves divide the church
The middle one is Of great height
and the others beside it to bow
their heads and kneel In token OF ad
miration and respect. Eighty-eight
pillars, each as large as a tower ant
each composed Of sixteen spindle
shaped columns bound together, sus
tain the enormous mass of the build
ing.
The architecture of the whole build
ing Is homogeneous and perfect
which Is a very rare virtue in Gothic
architecture. The original plan, Il
spite Of the many years it was build
ing, has been adhered to from n emf
to the other, with the exception of
few arrangements of the chapels
which, however, do not interfere wit
the harmony of the general effect.

ANeERED THE GREAT jovE
Earthworm's Disparaging Remark
That Made Trouble for Festive
Youths and Maidens.

The bees Of Hybla were buzzins
merrily about the palace on Olympus,
threatening at times the lips Of Venus

across the tesselated floors.
Jupiter yawned heavily and the
doves Of the love goddess few away

mede. The boy put down his golden
cups and stared across the sunny
fields.
"They seem to be holding n OF
their festivals" he presently replied.
II see long lines Of young men in
black gowns and fiat head coverings
marching In and out of great stone
buildings. Yes, and there are maidens
In white, bearing flowers. And now
I hear the murmur of voices and the
cadence Of song
Jupiter yawned again.
Some silly rite, | suppose. Listen
a moment, boy, and mayhap you car
catch a fragment Of what they say"
There was a brief silence.
"One of the young men has riser
and is bowling. All, now I a heal
what he says. He is telling the PEG
pie how The Absurd Olympian God
Myth Retarded the Dawn of a High

Whats that?" cried Jupiter, anc
he arose so suddenly that the Dryac
fanwavers drew back in terror
who's he calling absurd! Here

The master of Olympus seized tn,
metal tube and flung it downward, an,
Vulcan struck the thunder plate

the thunder crashed and the SIX,
hung black across the Thessalial
plains,
Ganymede roared with laughter.
"The earthworms are running wild

scattered, and the white-robed mait

"FlI teach 'em to let the god myt

He's Not a Chicken Fancier.

Speaking of chickens, a funny man
writing in Puck says:
They are the most dadbusted, I'M
c~ertainest creatures that walk the
family acres. Almost everybody tries
to raise chickens at one time or an
other. Looks easy-that's the deceiv-
ing part Of it.
"And 1t is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything, medium sized chickens don't
know anything. II there is any change
of an intellectual nature as the size
increases the big ones know less il
possible than the little ones.
"If there is a wire partition in your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens will try to plunge through
the wire instead of going around ant
walking through the door"
