ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

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 tc
itch SO badly he would scratch his
face and cause a matter to run.
Wherever that matter would touch ii
would cause another pimple until it
spread all over his body. 1t caused
Disagreement while it lasted. He had
fifteen places on one arm and his
head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as a sill
yer dollar on each side. He was sc
restless at night we had to put nit
tens Oh him to keep him from scratch
ing them with his finger nails. If he
got a little too warm at night ii
seemed to hurt badly.

get any better. He had the eczema
about three weeks when we began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

MAKE ALCOHOL OF POTATOES
One Reason Industry Has Not 40
vanced in United States Is Be-
cause of High Price of Tubers.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That the manufacture of alcohol
from potatoes has not yet become es-
tablished in the United States is due
TO various easoEs- The price of pota-
toes marketable for other purposes
has been too high, and no sufficient
supply of Culls and surplus potatoes
has been available. The average price
for distilling potatoes in Germany for
the five years 1906-1910 was 1873
cents per bushel. 1t is probable that
the farmers there would be less dis
posed TO grow the crop if it were
not for its indirect benefits, including
the feeding value of the mast left
after the distillation of the alcohol,
according to the department of agri-
culture.
The potato-drying industry in Ger
many is the last development in the
utilization Of surplus potatoes, and
came about only through the absolute
necessity of finding an outlet for the
surplus production that could not be
consumed By the starch and alcohol
factories. The rapid increase in the
number of potato-drying factories in
Germany shows great promise for this
young industry, and should merit the
careful consideration of our people
as to whether the time has not al.
ready arrived for the introduction OF
this method into the United States.
at least on an experimental basis. The
problems to be met relate mainly to
the present cost of the labor in pick
ing up and delivering to the factory
the potatoes not marketable for table
purposes. In many cases, however, il
is necessary to remove these culis
from the field to prevent the spread
Of potato diseases, and it would seem
that the drier would pay for the labor
involved. The dried product is adapt
ed for many purposes. Not only cattle
but horses have been fed the dried pc
tatoes as a substitute for grain with
perfect satisfaction.

clover-hay or alfalfa, cut into short
lengths, is a good green food. The
hens will eat them dry, but relish
them much better if steamed. To
steam, cut into short pieces and pack
in a tub or bucket, pour as much boil
ing water over them as they will abb
sorb, and cover tightly for thirty min
utes before feeding. 1t may be fed
either by itself or mixed with q mash.
Sprouted oats are a good green
food. To prepare them, soak the oats
in warm water for "a hours, then
spread in shallow boxes and keep in
a warn place. Keep them moist by
sprinkling with warm water and they
will soon begin to sprout.
When the sprouts are about two
inches long, cut the oats out in
chunks and feed to the hens. They
will eat both the sprouts and the oats
and are very fond of them.
Another way of furnishing green
food is to feed vegetables. Turnips,
beets and margles should be cut in
halves and fed raw.
Cabbage heads should be hung UP
where thu hens can pick them. Civ

Observation-Disclosures
Eagerness to Revise Peace of
Bucharest Has Subsided.
Vienna Paper Publishes Some lnten
esting Facts on What Monarchy
Has Accomplished in Course
of War on the Balkan.

Vienna.-The eagerness to have the
peace of Bucharest revised has now
subsidized. In fact, it may be stated
with some degree of assurance that
Austria Hungary has abandoned all
idea of altering that instrument. IL
Bulgaria herself, the party chiefly in
jured, is accepting her fate with
equanimity, why should we at more or
less risk and cost attempt to inter
fere? Thus runs now the argument OF
Austria-Hungary. And this argument
was ciinched, so to speak, when Bull
garia began direct negotiations with
Turkey.
This line of action, however. does
not mean that the recently-concluded
treaty at the Roumanian capital is
here looked upon as likely to last. 1t
is rather regarded as an armistice
which may possibly endure a twelve
month or more, but whose inherent
weakness, together with the dissonant
elements making a part of it, fore
shadow beyond doubt another bloody

as better than the immediate break
ing out of another continued chapter
of hostilities.
In a political review of the present
situation on the Balkan, inspired by
the foreign office in Vienna, the Tag
blatt of this city publishes some in
teresting facts; mainly as to what this
monarchy has accomplished, and
what it has failed to accomplish in
the course of the late unpleasantness
on the Balkan. The article points
out that the creation of Albania has
been the work of Austria-Hungary;
that the withdrawal of Montenegro
from Scutari was due to her likewise;
that Servia was kept from the Adria-
tic! but that, more important, the
Dreibund has been knit more closely
together, and that the relations with
Italy particularly were never such in
innate and friendly once before-all
due to common interests in the un-
travelling of the Balkan problem; last
ly, it is mentioned that the relations
between England and Austria-Hun-
gary have vastly improved, being new
er so good as now since England join
ed France and Russia as a political
partner, and that England has all
along appreciated the peculiar inter-
ests of Austria-H Hungary in the Balkan
settlement, owing to her geographical
position.
But with so much to the right side
of the ledger, the article goes on to
state that the final outcome of the Bal
kan war has been entirely against
the interests Of the dual monarchy.
In spite of all that Austria-Hungary

EGGS DURING WINTER

Clover Hay or Alfalfa, Cut into Short

In order TO get a good supply OF
Eggs in the winter, conditions for the

To do this, one thing absolutely nee

Of supplying this.

Prosperity CommunistIc,

A man cannot prosper in any honest
business without benefiting the com
munity as well as himself. For he
cannot induce men TO deal with him
without offering them an advantage;
ard, taking all the transactions of life
together, the advantages which men
offer to others must, on the whole, be
equal to those which they receive
themselves.
Doing business, therefore, is a very
effectual and extended mode of doing
good; and the fortune which is ac.
CURED in doing it is, in a very impor-
tant sense, the measure and index of
the good done.-Jacob Abbott.

GOOD PASTURES FOR SWINE
Clover Is Much Cheaper for Pigs Tina

Now, IL the pigs could be given a

was the greatest danger this mon
archy had to face before. With Rus
STA, too, her relations are now decid-
edly better; in st. Petersburg they
have become convinced that Austria

Striking g. sort of balance, then,
the author arrives at the conclusion
that Austria-H Hungary issues out of the

with some economic losses and with
more cares for the future.

Our dearly beloved Christian Indeu pub
lished an article in its December 10th. 1914
issue, which was headlined
"SHALL BESSIE TIT COLLEGE, BE
LOST TO TIE BAPTLSTS?"
Where is the Bessie Tiff College?
Is it situated on the Dardanelles, in Tur-
key, where highly paid professors teach young
Arabs, and Seljuks and Armenians, and
Greeks how to read English, conjugate our
irregular verbs, and work sums in vulgar
fractions?
All, no. Bessie Tiff is not located in the
Levant. where the flowers ever bloom, the
birds ever sing, and the American dollars ever
jingle
IS the Bessie Tiff College situated at
where the promptly-paid American tutors
take tender Chinks and Koreans by the hand
and rub Western school-bool1s on their heads
and pig-tails, transforming these innocent
ORIGINALS into half-done Credentials?
All, no: Bessie lift is not located in China
Or Korea, or JAPAN where respectable families
can comfortably exist on one hundred dol
lars Il year, and where the board and lodg-
ing of the student is only twenty.
The Bessie Tiff College labors under the
dismal disadvantage of being situated in the
State Of Georgia.
It was heavily handicapped by the fact that
it tried to exist in State where the foreign
mission mania was unusually rampant and
viruIent.
Consequently, Bessie Tiff has found Jor-
dan a hard road to travel.
BY the time the heather colleges got
enough of our ducats, there were none for
Bessie Tiff.
Poor Bessie Tiff! Why didn't they build
this college in Turkey, or in Japan, or in

On straw, only bits of straw at that along the
sides Of these miserable filthy novels huddled hui
forms in blood-stained muddy uniforms.
Around the doorways, in the stable, everywhere
they lay, needless, inanimate, motionless.
A priest in high boots and black coat was stand

over his coat gold-mbroidered stole. He kicked
with his boot the man nearest. He kicked again
and again.

spoke kicking the next one to arouse him to life.
Priest Blesses Stricken.
Hardly had he blessed the first than he sank
into bundle again.
The third man was senseess to the kicks so
long that thought his soul had already gone into
a vast eternity. Yet he lived He tried to rise to-
MS knees. He could not. He sank back power
less. The priest blessed him and passed on to-
kick into consciousness others.
The "blessing' of this priest-in-boots was
equivalent to a pass to Paradise. Without
such "blessing" the papist goes to purea-
tory from which he cannot be released, except
by the payment of much money to the priests.
