ERUPTION DISFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-"1n the
spring of 1911 Jul little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled a
large ringworm, only 1t differed In
that 1t was covered with watery bis
tiers that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching 1t.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had 1t and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at Its
worst the teacher Of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement Of her
face was gone.
-" 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

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH.

ANU HCAL H.
The records of the hospitals In u
own and other countries testify to
the lowered vitality of patients through
the use Of alcohol by their parents.
The Henry Phipps Institute for Con-
sumptives in Philadelphia reports that
mortality in 1908 was so per cent
higher in patients with alcoholic pa
rents than in those with non-alcoholio
parents. Doctor Arrivi found tuber-
culosis in 10 per CEN Of drinkers
children and in only is per cent OF
children Of n%on-drinkers. Doctor Laiti-
men found that children Of drinking
parents are backward from the start,
and in proportion to the drinking OF
the parents. From a large number Of
cases examined II appears that IL per
cent Of the children of a%bstaining pa
rents die In the first year, while %
per cent Of the children Of moderate
drinking parents die the first year.
II both parents are alcoholics, one
child in Ave will become insane. one
child in three will be epi,eptic or
~hysterical. one in W will be born
deformed. only one in six will be nor
NAL; whereas, II both parents are to-
tai abstainers, nine out Of ten will
be normal and will tend to have q
normal development, rising to one de-
gree higher and nobler than the av-
erage of their parents.

SINS OE The

The clearing house for mental de.
fectives" Of the New York Postcard
uate hospital not long ago issued a
statement to the effect that Of the
2O,0O0, 900 school children In the United
States, about rs per cent, or nearly
5000. 900, are defective. The state
ment explains that the word defective
is applied not only to those mentally
below par, but to the large number of
children suffering from adenoids,
swollen tonsils and similar physical
defects.
In attempting to discover the why"
for such an army of subnormal and
abnormal children, the Chicago Trib-
une ventures the opinion that while in
part they are a product Of the present
day economic and industrial condi.
lions, after all 1t is largely a case Of
the sins of the fathers being visit
ed upon the children" That alcohol
is responsible for the larger part Of
these sins" for which the offspring
must suffer Is vouched for by physi-
clans and scientists whose ability to
pass upon the question cannot be
questioned.

That | cannot tell, except that she
believes you killed her father; the
discovery of your coat convinced her
Of that. AS to how she came here
she travelled with Girty from Fort Har-
mar, seeking to reach the Wyandots in
advance of me. She came to the cabin
alone, hoping to find her father, but
instead found us In possession, and
D'Auvray's dead body. 1t was she
who thrust me into the tunnel, and
saved my life"

A descending figure blotted out the

dark cellar was deserted. I attempt

Saving the Wood.

1t was only on rare occasions that
Mrs. Cutler, a kind-faced old lady, ac-
cepted invitations to dine out. Upon re-
peated invitations of her friends, the
Joslins, however, she consented to at
tend a little informal dinner they were
giving, accompanied by her daughter.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Cutler was quite
deaf and consequently could not enter
into the general conversation. She
was engaged in cutting a piece Of
