ERUPTION ON BABY'S FACE

Duke, N. C.-"When my baby was
two weeks old, behind his ears turned
red and caused an irritation and from
rubbing it became raw and stayed
moistened all the time. At times 1t
would get SO bad as to bleed. He was
fretful. At the time he was eight
months old he was in a bad condition
with sores behind his ears and on his
face.
Nothing seemed to do any good at
all till / got Cuticura Soap ana Oint-
ment. I at once commenced to wash
his ears and face three Dr. four times
during the day with the Cuticura
Soap, dried them with a soft cloth,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment.
In ten days his ears and face were
well and no a were left" (Signed)
Mrs. Lena Lee, Jan. 2, 1914.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post
card "Cuticura, Dept. L. Boston."-Adv.

DENTIST HAD WASTED TIME
Really Was No Use Waiting for Pa
tIent to Close Eye, Seeing Its
Composition.

He was a nervous man, says the
Philadelphia Record. Most men are
when they find themselves in a sden-
lists chair, but he was exceptionally
30. The tooth that.had to come out
was quite a small affair-from the
dentists point Of view. From the Pa
tents it felt about the same size as
a house.
He decided to have gas. The dem
fist, who was in a hurry to go to q
'baseball> game, tried to persuade him
to do without, but he was determined.
The dentist, in aSfever OF impa-
thence, waited for the victim to lose
consciousness, but the nervous man
insisted on keeping an eye open,
though he had enough gas to float an
airship. s
Unable to control himself any long
er, the irate t%ooth-puller exclaimed:
LET go yourself, man! Shut your
eye, you idiot"
Somewhere from the back-block OF
dreamland the patient murmured
sleepily:
~"Cant-it'stglass!"

Farm Expert Ready for Work.

Farm Expert Ready for Work.
The aims houses in Champaign
county, Illinois, are better constructed
buildings than the governors mansion
in South Carolina, according to A. G..
Smith, agriculturist, United States de-
partment of agriculture. Mr.. Smith
was discussing the rich agricultural
sections Of Illinois when he made the
above statement. He has returned to
South Carolina and will devote all
Of his time to the development Of
farms. He, believes that there are
greater possibilities in the South Car
DINA soil than that of Illinois.
champaign county Is dry" said
Mr.. Smith, land 1t will remain dry
because the people there are opposed
to whiskey." Champaign county, he
said, Is located about 12O miles from
a large city and therefore the land
values are not affected by city values.
The census report shows that there
are about Gal, 900 acres of land in
the county. The average value Of the
land, according to MI. Smith, is about
$3.50 an acre. "Of course, the people
in that county employ an expert agri-
culturist," said Mr.. Smith. They pay
the mar $4,000 a year"

Something About Your Fingers.

The cutting Of the finger nails Is
one Of those little tasks from which
we are relieved only by the grave.
1t is computed that their average
growth, in sickness and in health, is
one-thirty-second Of an inch a week,
a little more than an inch and a half
a year.
This rate Of growth, however, is not
the same for all the fingers, the thumb
and the little finger being the ones
whose nails grow more slowly than
the others, while the middle finger Is
the fastest of the lot. In summer it
has been observed that they grow
quicker than in winter, and some au-
thorities hold that the nails on the
right hand lengthen more rapidly than
those on the left. In either case they
grow four times as fast as the nails
on our toes.

Poor Little Orphan.

Alice Joyce, star of motion pictures,
had an experience with a little negro
girl a few days ago which brings a
chuckle whenever it is repeated.
Miss Joyce was on her way home
after an arduous days work. A little
colored girl crying against a telegraph
pole aroused her sympathy. The
charming star approached the girl and
inquired the cause Of the trouble. The
child replied that her aunt had just
driven her from the house.
Where is your father" asked Miss
Joyce.
"Nevah had no pappy," was, the re-
ply.
well where is your mother?"
"Daid," was the laconic answer.
Miss Joyce was touched. Dead"
she replied pityingly.
Yah! she done died befo All was
bo'n!"

Observers who have been closely in
touch with the house for several years
Ire at a loss to find a parallel for the
situation in which the. body finds IT.
self now. The quandry 1t faces has
many angles.
The magnitude Of the proposed rem
edy for the existing depression in
business is in itself staggering when
1t is realized that it would at least
mean .%quadrupling the bonded debt OF
the state should It receive the votes
Of %two-thirds Of the electors on No
vember 8. Some of the speakers at
the three sessions said that they in
tended to vote Tor the proposed issue
of bonds because the measure would
60 before the people at the election.
In controverting this position, other
debaters said that 1t was probable
that the electors would consider that
the bond issue had the Endorsement
of the general assembly should it be
passed, and vote for 1t accordingly.
"somethins, No Matter What"
The psychological state Of the
house, evidenced by the debate on the
bond scheme at the three sessions
was fttingly described by Mr.. Van
der Horst OF Charleston when he de-
clared that the body seemed deter
mined to pass something, 10 matter
what just so 1t was something
With cotton selling at a low price, the
financial condition OF the state is ad-
mittedly poor at present. There were.
abundant indications that members of
the house preferred going to any
lengths rather than confess their I'M
portance to remedy existing financial
conditions by legislation and their
willingness to pass something, no
matter what; just 80 it was some
thing" 81
Coupled with the provisions for a
bond issue will be sections requiring
reduction Of cotton production next
year. The senate will resume consid-
Grafton next week Of the reduction
problem and it is. considered probable
that a vote will be reached before the
end of the week. In the lower house,
the bill requiring reduction of acreage
by two thirds, has been passed, and
sent to the senate. ~
In discussions of the bond measure
it was pointed out that no effort
would be made to sell the bonds to
Northern capitalists. Such action was
generally regarded as impossible be-
cause of the unique nature Of the
issue and the depressed condition of
finance.

ton.

by the house and sent to the
senate provides that not more
than one-third of the land under
cultivation shall be planted in
cototn, and in no case more
than six acres to the plaw.

Heroic Remedy.

A contributor to Everybody's Maya
zine tells how an irate woman cured
her husband Of the drink habit after
he had spent money on booze" that
she had meant to use for getting
clothes for the children: II jest let
him go to bed, and after he's been
sleeping long enough to be pretty near
sober, I goes and sews him up in the
%bedclothes, takes the broomstick and
pounds the devil out Of i'm, and I've
never had a days worry since" After
reading stories Of wife-beating, there
is a certain satisfaction in coming
across the tale of a woman who
turned the tables to good purpose and
exercised her husbands devil"

that at the battle of the Alma I had a

Preferred HIS crouch.

A landlord, returning home after an
absence of several weeks, saw n OF
his tenants sitting onsa stone wall,
whistling merrily. The moment that
he greeted him, however, the man
scowled and, began abusing him.
why, what's the matter, Pat?' he
asked.
Matter is it," was the answer.
Matter enough, when your stheward
is afther evicting me, bad luck TO
him." 49, g.r.-,t
"Evicted you? What for"
1.-THE old liar pretended me cabin
wanted repairing, and as OF wouldn't

During the night he grew rapidly
worse and his servant sent for the
doctor.
What on earth have you been do
ing to yourself?" demanded the ply
stefan. There was no indication of
this sort when 1 saw you yesterday"
1T is my heart, I suppose" weakly
answered the patient in a whisper.
Your heart!" repeated the doctor.
Your heart was all right yesterday"
my lungs, then" said the patient.
What is the matter with you, man?
You don't ssem to have been drink
ing"
Your letter, your letter." gasped
the patient. "You said l had only a
few weeks to live
Are you crazy?" said the doctor.
II wrote you to take a weeks vaca-
ton in the hills and you would be
all right"
The patient, with the pallor Of death
In his face, could scarcely raise his
head from, the pillows, but he drew
from under the bedclothes the doctors
letter.
Heavens, mani" cried the physi-
clan; this was meant for another
patient! My assistant misplaced the
letters"
The young officer sat up In bed i'm
mediately and was entirely we'll in q
few hours.
We are all at some time in our lives
victims of the imagination. The con.
viction that we are desperately Ill, or
that we have been exposed to a ter
rible malady, to some incurable, con-
tagious disease, completely upsets the
entire system and 'reverses the proc
esses of the various functions; the
mind does not act with its customary
vitality and power and there is a
general dropping Of physical and men
tai standards all along the line, until
we become the victims Of the thing
we fear.
When I was in the Harvard Medical
school, n Of the best professors
there, a celebrated physician, who had
been lecturing upon the power Of the
imagination, warned the students
against the dangers of imagining that
they, themselves, had the disease
about which they studied. The profess
sor told me that once he got it into
his head that he was developing
Bright's disease in his system. The
conviction became sc strong that he
was in the grasp Of this ~so-called fatal
disease that he preferred to die rather
than be told of his condition by anoth-
er physician.H lost his appetite, lost
flesh rapidly, and became almost inca
pable Of lecturing, until n day a med.
ical friend, astonished at the change
in his appearance, asked what was the
matter with him.
II have Brfght's disease" was the
reply. 81 am sure Of it, for l have
every symptom"
Nonsense" said his friend; you
have nothing Of the kind"
After a great deal Of persuasion,
the professor was induced to submit
to an examination, and it was discov-
cred that there was not the slightest
evidence Of Bright's disease In his
system. He rallied 80 quickly that
even in a day those who knew him
noticed the change. His appetite re-
turned, his flesh came back, and he
was a new man.,
Medical history shows that thou
sands Of people have died the vic
Tins of their imagination. They were
convinced they had diseases which in
reality they never had. The trouble
was not in the body, but in the mind.
