DIsFIGURED WITH PIMPLEs

Whitewater. Colo.-"Eczema broke
out all over my little grandson's face
and body. 1t just looked as though
blood poison would set up at times
when he would scratch himself 80
much. The eczema broke out in PIN
pies and would run watery corrup-
ton and wherever the water touched
the flesh. another pimple would form,
until the pimples would form sore.
His clothing irritated his body and he
lost his rest at night. The disease
was SO irritating and would itch so
that have seen him in such an irri-
tating condition that he would cry
and scratch himself until the blood
would run. He was very much dis
figured as the skin would be torn from
his cheeks from the scratching.
II tried all the simple remedies that
/ knew of to stop the pain and burn
ing. but they did not cure him. This
went on until January. 1912. when
began to use the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, which proved q complete
cure in a short time" (Signed) Mrs
Laura Stephens. Nov. 10, 1912.

Orderly Service.

A Methodist parson. called to preach
at an out-of-the-way town in California
was informed. before entering the pull
pit, that he must be careful. as many
of the assembled congregation were
''roughs," and would not hesitate to
pull him from the pulpit If his re-
marks did not suit them.
The minister made no reply. but
having reached the sacred desk. he
took from his pocket two revolvers,
and placing one on each side of the
Bible. gave a Sharp glance around the
room and said: Let us pray"
A more orderly service was never
held.-National Monthly.

Flowers That Yield Soap.

English countryfolk, on occasion.
still find substitutes for soap among
the wild flowers Of the hedgerow.
The best of these is the soapwort.
which contains mucilaginous juice
which lathers freely, but almost equal
ly good for washing purposes are the
corn cookie. the wild lychnis. the
scarlet pimpernel. and the familiar
Glove. The fruit of the horse chest
nut. also. has saponine qualities. and
is largely used in place OF soap in
rural districts on the continent.

The development of the billiard ta-

far back days when billiards seem first

was gradually and irregularly de-
creased, until the present standard

the President will issue an address to the
country which is calculated to have wide

to the support OF the Democratic ticket.
The Baltimore platform contained three
primary promises that Democrats say

the next campaign opens in earnest They
promised to revise the tariff. to enact "a
new banking law and to strengthen the
antitrust laws. The Democratic tariff Is
In operation and the new banking system
