ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

r. F. D. No. 2, Sunfeld, Mich.-"I
was troubled with eczema. 1t began
with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as 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
quarter of dollar They would itch
and if scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being re-
moved causing them to itch and smart
so could not sleep. A watery fluid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with 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-

away. In months time was COM

said we would be married before the
year was out. But to make more sure,
| boiled an egg hard, took out the
yolk and filed the egg up with salt,
and when | went to bed ate 1t, shell
and all, without speaking or drinking
after it, and this was also to have eff
feet with the bay leaves. We also
wrote our love names upon bits of ps.
per and rolled them up in clay and put
them into water. and the first that
rose was to be our valentine. Would
you think it? Mr.. Blossom was my

house, for I would not have seen an
other man before him for all the

Children Chanted Songs.
This quaint letter shows how the
idea of the powers of St Vanentine
were appreciated by the maidens of
that time. 1t was customary In the
olden times for maidens to hang their
shoes outside the window on the eve
of ST. Vanentines day in order that
their love affairs should prosper, al.
though the explanation of this belief
is not given. Children also went about
chanting songs about Valentine and
collecting coins as their valentines.
The valentine gifts of those days
were sometimes very costly, including
jewels, rings, brooches, silken sashes
or belts with begemmed buckles, silk
gloves with rich embroidery, and other
expensive presents which man might
make to his valentine"
st. Valentines day was alluded to
by Shakespeare and Chaucer, and one
of the earliest known writer's of valen-
tines was Charles, duke of Orleans.
Drayton, a poet of Shakespeare's time,
also wrote charming verses along this
theme
What connection the martyred Bishop
Valentine has to do with these Gus
toms, whose ruler seems to be Cupid,
would puzzle the saint himself. Tbs
death of the good bishop, which oc.
CURED in the third century, was a
most cruel one. He was first beaten
with clubs and then beheaded. Thus
it seems paradoxical that the COM
memoration of him should be observed
in the gayest of fashions, and always
in conjunction with the FRANKS of the
little god of love.
Many learned historians have given
considerable time and investigation to
the origin of the romantic observance
OF ST. Valentines day, but the secret
is still secret-the real mystery is
still unsolved.

have frowned. and always poor, he
had been numbered with the greatest
of the earth.
Never in his lifetime regarded as
an orator, he is enrolled among the
most gifted pleaders of all ages.
Never educated, never widely read,
never a traveller, he is conceded to
have been one of the wisest of men.
Never a trained soldier, he COM
manded in war greater armies than
any monarch or general.
Never having had more than local
celebrity as lawyer, he had con-
ceptions of justice that we're unknown
to distinguished jurists of his time.
Never assuming to be statesman
or an economist, and never until his
call to the presidency successful
manager of any enterprise, he became
a ruler who will be celebrated for
ever for wisdom, sagacity and firm
ness.
Never the author of a verse, he has
given us poetry in prose that is i'm

The humblest, the least assertiVe OF

There is no obscurity in the phil

WOMAN ACCUSED
OF KILLING
HUSBAND
MRS. SEAToNS TRIAL is BEGUN
TODAY IN HAckENSAck,
NEW JERSEY

Hackensack, N. j., Sept. 2S.-The
case of Mrs. Alice L. Seaton, charged
with numbering her husband, Freder-
ick R. Seaton, we'll known as an actor,
was called in court here today for
trial Mrs. Seaton. has entered plea
of not guilty and has engaged prom
inent counsel to conduct her defence.
Seaton was shot and killed little
after noon on August 1S, the tragedy
taking place on the back porch on his
home of Bogota. A few moments be-
fore the killing two trackwalkers on
the West Shore railroad saw Seaton
seated on the porch, and heard him
talking in loud tones to his wife, who
was standing in the doorway.
She said something, to which Sea
ton is said to have replied, ooh, can't
you quit making a fuss?" There upon
ne Started toward the door, and Mrs.
Seaton backed into the house out Of
sight.
moment later the trackwalkers
heard two shots. They ran to the
nearest telephone and called physi-
clan and the police. Returning to the
house, they found Seaton lying in the
kitchen, with one bullet in his breast
and another in his brain. He was
dead when the physician reached him.
Not far away Mrs. Seaton was lying
face down on the floor, apparently in
stupor A few feet from her was a
revolver, with two chambers discharg-
ed, and a bottle of whisky nearby.
The police say she was intoxicated,
and apparently also suffering from
sudden shock.
The only other person in the house
at the time of the tragedy was a 12-
year old colored servant girl, who told
the police that Seaton and his wife
had frequently quarreled. The wife
charged him, it was said, with paying
undue attentions to May Hopkins, an
actress who had appeared with him
in several plays
Mrs. Seaton is 32 years old and a
former actress. 1t is said that she ap-
peared in vaudeville as a cowgirl
sharpshooter, and photograph of her
in this costume was found in the
home. She has a three-year old son
named for George M. Cohan, in whose
support Mr.. Seaton had formerly ap-
peared. He had also held minor part
in "Get-Rich-Q Quick WalIingford." The
couple had lived in Bogota about two
years, but had lew intimates.
