ERUPTION DISFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-"In the
spring of 1911 our 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 it 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, watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at its
worst the teacher Of the school sent
ner home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement of her
face was gone.
Il 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"

Valuable Land In Eaypt.

The presence in this country Of Sir
William Willcocks, of Assouan dam
fame, and now engaged on the flood
control Of the Tigris-Euphrates river,
is an event of more than ordinary sig
nificance, because of it's bearing upon
the question of the control of food
water says the Wall Street Journal.
The Nile valley irrigation works, &C
cording to Sir William, has enabled
100000 people to live on 100000
acres. Land, he says, in the vicinity
Of the Assouan dam Is worth from
$3.50 to $1,000 an acre, and they raise
five hundredweight of cotton on it,
which is worth S100. His view of our
methods of controlling the Mississippi
is Of much value because of his ex-
perience in Asia and Africa. No for
eigner has more studiously read the
reports of our river and harbor engi-
neers. His main suggestions are that
the levees be made wider and that
relief channels be provided to mitigate
the strain when waters at their maxi
mum might be carried off as a means
of safety.

Unfortunately. Mrs. Cutler was quite

MONARCH'S ACT SURPRISES
Old Lady Thought 1t Undignlfied That
British Monarch Should Blow
His Own Nose.

When King George Of Great Britain
came to the throne there were wild
rumors that he took so little interest
in horse-racing that the turf would
suffer. This year, however, his mai
esty has attended a number of the big
race meetings.
One recalls the story told Of an ear
lier royal visit to Doncaster An old
Yorkshire woman had gone on the
course for the sole purpose of seeing
royalty, and she called out excitedly:
Which is the king? Which is the
king?"
There he is" said some one near.
That's him with the handkerchief in
his hand
All" gasped the old lady, a touch
of reverent awe III her tone.
Just then his majesty, who had a
cold in the head, performed COM
monplace little operation.
Goodness mel" the old lady ex-
claimed aghast "He-he blows his
own nose!"

Mistaken In the Portrait.

Mcneil, the German artist, was a
regular patron of a certain Berlin
wine shop. One day man and wife
came in and sat down at his table;
and presently Mcneil noticed that the
woman was making fun of him.
Calmly he drew out his sketching
book, gazed at the woman awhile, as
if to study her face for a portrait, and
then commenced to draw. Her hus-
band Immediately took notice: Il for
bid you to draw picture of my wife.
Stop it!' he exclaimed, angrily.
Mcneil made few finishing touches
and then passing the sketching book
over to the man, he inquired, with a
laugh, us that your wife?" He had
drawn goose. Youths Companion.
