WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville. Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead Of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
We used a number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for a short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we, got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and box of Cuticura ONT
ment | washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn Of the trouble" (Signedl Mrs.

F A n T EN- AN T n Q y ) r.

The department of agriculture has
made public the first of a series of
plans for farm houses to be prepared
by its specialists with a view to en-
abling farmers to construct inexpen-
. sive and better homes. The basis of
the inquiry is the belief that the farm
house is the most important building
on the farm and money judiciously ex-
pended in it's planning and constrUc-
ton is well invested The objects
sought in the plans are to provide
structures reasonable in cost and of
good material, and so arranged as to
give the maximum in health, comfort
and happiness to the family and added
convenience to the housewife in her
domestic operations.
The plans made public are for the
construction of an inexpensive farm
tenant house. although the house as
planned contains many valuable sug
gestions for owners with small fami-
lies The provision of proper tenant
houses on farms it is believed is Of
increasing Importance to farm man
agement because of the increasing
number of rented farms, the growing
demand of tenants for modern houses
and a better understanding of the in
f1uences of the home upon farm labor
and field efficiency The census re
port OF 1910 shows an increase dur
ing the previous ten years of more
than $4,000 rented farms. Many of
the new tenants moved into good
houses vacated by the owners, but
many others are living in buildings
wholly unsuited to their needs. The
cost of these houses commonly is in
consistent with the value of the farms,
and the lack of improvements in them
too often is in striking contrast with
the outbuildings, farming machinery
and field equipment
The important principles of plan
ming, applicable to all buildings, which
effect saving in construction and in
the performance of indoor work have
been carefully considered IN these
plans. EndeavoT has been made to
provide good lines and pleasing pro
uine beauty in all structures and are
the production of skillful designing
rather than of additional material and
labor
Special emphasis has been put upon
providing a little home that will be
conducive to the health of the fam
lily, provide for its social and domes-
tic needs and save unnecessary steps
and operations on the part of the
housekeeper.
The architects studies seem to
make it clear that many homes in
towns as well as in the country could
have been greatly improved and at
the same time built at less expense if
they had been studiously planned to
meet the family needs, skillfully de-
signed and carefully constructed.
The Tenant House.
The tenant house, plans of which
are shown, is a simple, four-corner
structure, without bay windows, ga
bles and dormers, or any projection
save the cornice, which overhangs and
protects the walls and window open
ings The house is planned for the
most inexpensive arrangement con
sistent with the needs and the conve-
nience of a small family. 1t has but
one chimney and but one outside Gu
trance.

An American Ministers Victory.

Brand Whitlock, the former mayor OF Toledo,
who proved to be more or less OF political nov
city in his way. has turned his hand to psuedo
diplomacy with no mean effect. AS minister to
Belgium at such time as the present. Ameri-
cans would expect to hear OF some activity on
the part OF the irrepressible Whitlock, and he
has not disappointed them. He has rather busily
issued his protests against the indiseriminate
dropping OF bombs from aeropanes and other
untoward conduct on the part OF the invading
powers and, better than all. has managed to do
so without giving offense TO the Germans But
Minister Whitlock achieved something OF real
and far-reaching value In helping stay the forces
of destruction from the old and beautiful city of
Brussels. tt.
When the Belgian capital was beset by the
G,Imans aud all hope of successful resistance

n andant TO accede TO the Germans demands for
surrender. The eommandant held out. He would
at least refuse until so ordered by the king, Ev-
IDENTIFY our minister went over the head of the
local authority for soon word came from above
to surrender and with the order a personal salu-
tat'on to Minister Whitlock, conveying King Al
bert's gratitude for helping TO avert a useless
waste OF life and property.
1t will go down as a worthy victory for the
simple American and may also suggest the wis
dom of having on the ground at these foreign
capitals, now besieged, clear heads on neutra
shoulders.

School and Trashy Books.

With the resumption of school recurs the
thought Of the immense amount of money an
nually required to maintain our great system
of popular education. Likewise It is interesting
to note the constantly increased effort at the
most scientific instruction and administration.
We are aiming always at the highest efficiency
and economy. Generous to a, fault. Americans
are nevertheless averse TO wasting money even
in so good a cause as the public schools.
But after all, how well do we live up to
the ideal? Our schools are stressing more and
more the importance of clean literature and It
is well. On the other hand, the same mass Of
Americans so scrupulous in the running of their
schools, are yearly grinding out from their
book mills scavenger literature of the worst Sort
whose streams flow off into the lives of these
same children with polluting effect.
BY this sort OF business we are maintaining
our schools at enormous, though justifiable ex-
pense, and encouraging the output of vile books
at the same time, the latter to do It's utmost at
undoing the work OF the other. Our schools con-
Quoted on a more comprehensive basis than
ever. attempt to instill moral precepts as well
as intellectual culture; they teach the rudi-
.ments Of health through sanitation and physical
exercise and are probably doing their part TO
turn the child's mind away from bad and toward
good reading. But on the outside grievous mis-
takes are being made in. the federation of trash
that goes by the name of literature and finds its
way into the hands of the boys and girls. II will
take a lot of schooling to educate them safely
TO good reading and good reading only, but the
task Is not an impossible one. 1t can be per-
formed In time by a. proper cooperation of all
such forces as the home and school, press and
pulpit.

The Kaiser's Reserves.

In American base ball parlance there is a
saying that team Is strong as its utility
force in other words, its substitutes. In a mill
tary sense, perhaps, a nation may be considered
strong as its reserves, or its power of rein
forcement.
Therein evidently lies the secret Of the
amazing power thus far exhibited by the Ger
man army. whose quantity and quality of util-
ity men seems sufficient to enable the army to
keep. up incessant fighting. The kaiser is said
to have 1000, 900 men now on French soil, yet
in reply to reports of exhaustion from the rapid
marching and heavy fighting,S his officers de-
clare that no regiment Is sent into actual fight
ing oftener than once week.
II true, or even approximately true, then It
is suggestive the tremendous force required
to repel the invaders, a force not as yet exhib-
tied by the allies. In addition to these ponder
GUS numbers with reserves equal to all demands
for achievements and relief, the German army
evidently has the advantage also OF acting under
a single command. as against the many-headed
organizations of the opposing forces. This has
usually proved on advantage to the Germans up
to date in the present conflict. however later
events may develop
