RUSH TO SECURE THE CROSS
Celebration In Russia and the
Balkan States.

The Russian Christmas falls on
January Z. On that day st. Petersburg
celebrates the birth of Christ by bless
ing the River Neva. A procession OF
priests, followed by a huge crowd,
march to the river, the ice is broken,
and a cross dipped in the water. In
spite of the intense cold, often many,
degrees below zero, piously-inclined
persons rush into the river to battle
themselves in the sanctified water.
A similar Christmas ceremony is en-
acted in those Roumanian towns which
lie on the Danube. but in this case the
people are dressed to represent vari-
Gus biblical characters, such as Herod,
Pontius PLATE, ETC., and the cross is
not merely dipped, but flung into the
water. Then follows a terrific rush to
secure the blessed emblem-a rush SO
fearful that often lives are lost, for it
is firmly believed that its possession
will bring the owner good fortune not
only for the year, but for the rest of
his life.

There's no rest and but little peace
for a person whose Kidneys are out Of

1t Is not only on hat account that
people who suffer with weak kidneys
are nervous, cross and irritable.
Uric acid is poison to the nerves,
and when the kidneys are not working
well, this acid collects in the blood
and works upon the nerves, causing
headache, dizziness, langnor, an in
clination to worry over %trities, and a
suspicious, short temper.
Rheumatic pain, neuralgia, sciatica,
lumbago, neuritis and gravel are fur

enough to suspect the kidneys. Use

ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

R. F. D. No. 2, Sunfield, Mich
was troubled with eczema 1t began
with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as a pimple and grew larger
until it was a large red spot with a
crust or scab over it.. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts OF the
body, the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad
ually until some were as large as a
quarter of a dollar. They would itch
and If scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being g
moved causing them to itch and smart
so l could not sleep. A watery fluid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with a scale and when
the hair was raised up it would raise
this scale; the hair was coming out
terribly.
Il treated about six months and got
no relief and after using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment with two applica-
tons we could notice a great diIer-
ence. 1t began to get better right
away. In a months time I was COM
pletely cured" (Signed) Mrs. Bertha

A short time since Mr. Zahnizer was
standing along the Western New York

train. He had nothing in particular to

a snail which was creeping along the
ground.
That snail travelled just exactly one
foot in fou minutes, Mr.. Zahnizer
says, and computing distance at the

days for that snail to move a mile.

Queer Reasons for Pride.

Some week. ago when the Volturno
burned in midocean a few of the men
rushed the boats and were knocked
down by the captain. What becomes
of such men in after days? Do they
hide in shame from their fellows, fear
full that they may be recognized and
their infamy proclaimed? Not neces-
sarily. A public librarian was once
visited by a man who came to him for
a book on notable shipwrecks. He
searched the pages eagerly, then point
ed out a passage referring to a sea-
man who tried to take a woman's place
in q lifehnat. and had been shot by th0
captain. I'm that man." he declared.

In print, and offered to show the shot

the family centers the attention Of

the household. The enduring charac-
