ITCHING, BURNING ERUPTION

Thomasviile, Ala.-"I suffered with
eczema on my hands and feet two or
three years. About eleven years ago /
became troubled with an itching, burn
ing eruption which came on my hands
and feet In little water blisters and in
about a day or two when would let
the water out or wash it out,'using my
hands, then the places would tester
and itch to beat the band. Icould not
do any work that was rough on my
hands at ALL. It caused me great sui.
fering and inconvenience. ,
Il tried everything that I knew Of
or was told and never was really re-
lieved until I began using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I would wash the
parts In water with the .Cuticura Soap
and then when dried them I would ap-
ply the Cuticura Ointment on the sur
face in-the daytime, and, at night l
would get a 1oft piece Of cloth and
apply the Cuticura Ointment on my
hands and let it Etay that way all
night. A perfect cure was effected.
No one will ever know how glad I was
to get my hands and feet cured"

Efforts to Sbate Noise.

indianapolis is one OF the cities
which, along with Chicago, have start
ed a campaign for the abatement OF
needless noises. The point insisted
upon there-as it has also been in
New York-is the bad effect Of noise
upon the schools. The report Of a
wide investigation just concluded says
that good work under present condi.
tions is possible only if the windows
are closed-that is, at the price OF
health. The committee further de-
clares that IS per cent. of the noises
in the neighborhood Of school build
ings are capable Of being abated. IT
suggests the creation Of Zones OF
quiet" the repaving of certain streets
with noise absorbing material, the To-
cation Of school buildings with refer.
ence to immunity from disturbance.
Because Of such campaigns as this
the New York Evening Post is led to
remark that "asi soon as We care as
much about doing away with unneces-
sary noise. as we care about the things
for the sake Of having which we en-
dure the noise. Jul cities will be rev.
olutionized."

Lieut.. John H. Towers Of the United

for which $4,000 worth Of powder was
used and seven warships employed in
a great battle scene.
In the picture, the young hero, the
naval officer, comes upon the scene to
bid a tragic farewell to hissloyely

with effort. The girl looks up at him
in sadness. It is easy to imagine the
tender words from his lips.

FINDS LoNG-LosT BROTHER
english Young Woman's Months of
Quest Ends With Joyous Dis
covery Through Accent.

Jamesburg, N. J.--Hurrying along
the street, anxious to- catch a train,
Frederick Greenslade, superintendent
of the Jamesburg Light and Water
company, bumped into q soung woman,
and blurted out a polite, but hasty,
Excuse me, madame" The young
woman seemed to be astonished at
the accent and the appearance Of the
superintendent. She wheeled about,
ran after him and caused that gentle
man no end of surprise by halting him
and asking him if he knew Frederick
Greenslade. The biggest surprise
awaited him, however, when the young
woman disclosed her identity as his
sister, Miss Ethel M. Greenslade, who
had come all the way from London,
England, to search for her brother,
who had been as one dead to the fam
lily for 25 years. 1t vas the English
accent Of Mr.. Greenslade that caught
the ear of his sister and caused hel
sudden turning.
Not once since Mr.. Greenslade had
l6lC Ills uOLuS III LOuuOu las uS COui-
municated with his people. Shortly
after the beginning of the Boer-Eng-
lish wal it was rumored that he had
been killed in battle, but Miss Ethel
did not give up hope. She arrived lin
America last February, and hao SS-
eled over a large part of the ISL
States ever since in her search. She
received a clue while at Chester, w.
Va, that her brother was in a New
Jersey town, after reading a newspa.
per containing the use of his name.
Her arrival and reunion with her rela-
tive followed.
Miss Greenslade will make her
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Greenslade for
the winter, and return to England in
the spring, where a reunion of the fam
lily will be held and all honor done the
prodigars return home after so long
an absence. .Greenslade told Of his
wanderings around the world, enlist
ment in the English army, serving
through the Boer war, and roaming the
seas until three years ago, when he
came to Jamesburg and assumed his
present position.

ARCH Of DESfM
Stands at West End of City Of
Irkutsk, Central Siberia.
Ia Gateway Through Which Have
Passed for Centuries All the Rus
sian Exiles and eonvicts En-
Route to Penal Settlement.

London.-At the\ west entrance to
the city Of Irkutsk,I\ Central Siberia,
stands an arch through which have
passed for a century or more all the
exiles and convicts en- route to penal
settlements in eastern Siberia and the
Island Of Saghalin! The road which
passes through it Is the old postal
route between Moscow and the Pacific.
In times gone, the prisoners tramped
all the way across the dread steppes
from Europe, a journey OF many
months. Now conducted in trains,
they arrive at Irkutsk in a few days
and are allotted their places OF resi-
dence or imprisonment.
Despite the efforts Of the municipal
public safety bureau, the old Arch OF
Despair is gradually falling to bits.
Last year, the passage through was
closed to traffic and those who tread
the Moscow pike must make a detour.
Exiles still pass it. A few hundred
yards beyond, the road forks to the
north, leading finally to the Yakutsk
government which fringes the Arctic
ocean. Sixty versts go miles) beyond
Irkutsk on this road Is the Alexandrof-
Ski prison where are confined several

any resident OF the city could reach
one by a brisk walk Of five to ten
minutes. We need breathing spots

All the schools of architecture In Eu-
rope, especially that In Paris, are full
of Americans hard at work. The sums
which cities, states, banks, insurance
companies, universities, railroads,
have spent to beautify their magnif.
cent ediices is fabulous. All these
buildings are not masterpieces by a
wide margin, but there are many which
are very beautiful. America has archi.

thing of the houses of rich Americans
know that, although there are snobs
and dupes in America, as everywhere
else, there are also people who know
the meaning of art, who know how to

the world over for them. You will find

WI MUCH TO WoMEN'S CLUB
examinations Have Been the Leading
Factor Ira the Betterment of Amer
lean Towns and sCities.

It is to the women's clubs very large
ly that the movement for the city beau
tiful owes its vitality. In the interest
which the members of these organiza-
tons evince in the young and in the
beautiful, they have taken hold OF an
issue which would most properly come
within the field Of the action of the
horticultural societies. Only very few
of these latter have realized their op-
portunitr. Local horticultural socie-
ties must do something more than
hold stated meetings whereat formal
addresses are presented, usually on a
topic worn threadbare by long serv-
ice and at which but a spaall percent
age of the membership is present.
How many such societies, started in
enthusiasm, peter out after a few
years without any apparent reason!
The members themselves wonder
what is the matter with their society.
The matter is that they are doing
nothing, really; creating nothing; ma
king no progress. In order to be alive
the society must be aggressive; 1t
must carry its tenets and principles
beyond the confines Of the meeting
room and attack problems OF public
veal. The school garden movement
was started some eighty years ago,
but it's most rapid development has
been within the last decade. Work In
this country is not by any means suf.
ficiently widespread. With a round
100, 900 school gardens in Europe, is 1t
any wonder that garden art has
reached a wider distribution across
the ocean than it has with us?
