PIMPLES ON HEAD ITcHED

Tell City, Ind.-"My baby's head
was covered with sores and the top
was q solid scab. II began with pim-
pies and he would scratch his head
until it would bleed and then scab
over and keep spreading. He would
claw his head and fret, 1t itched and
burned so and l was afraid he would
never have any hair on top Of his head
again. 49,. ,.

Soap and Ointment TO me. I asked
our family doctor and he said, Yes,
go right ahead and use them We got
one cake OF Cuticura Soap and one
box Of Cuticura Ointment and they
healed him from the first. In q few
days his head did not seem to itch
or bother him in the least and before
we had used one set he was healed
and he has q fine growth of hair"

WILL GERMANY ABSORB
AUSTRIA and HUNGARY

Sydney Brooks, in the North American
Review. .
Austria Hungary is a many tongued
chaos in which even Austrians and
Hungarians can see no more than a
half light. One cannot, therefore,
wonder that many people have looked
forward with dread to the time when
the venerable emperor's patient and
calming wisdom is no longer guiding
the helm: or what they should an
ticipate a terrific racial explosion that
would hurl German speaking Austria
into the arms of the Hohenzollerns. de-
posit an autonomous Czech state here
and an autonomous Polish state there,
both Of them destined finally to ABB
sorption into the Russian empire, Join
the Trentino to Italy, create greater
Servia, and leave the Magyars to form
an embarrassingiy naked "buffer
state"
But these approximations have been
the ommon stock OF political prophecy
for a generation and more, and yet
Austria Hungary still survives. In
deed, one OF the best reasons for think
ing that the dual monarchy will not
break up is that Il has not already
done so. The prophets of disruption.
stimplated by the assassination OF the
Heir-Presumptive, seems clamorous
enough today; they have been more
clamorous in the past. The crisis
at this ONE has all the air Of vital
st~ringency; we forget that so to SO
years ago Il was more stringent still.
Ii Is the fatality OF Austria Hungary
never to be without a crisis" Of sorts,
and yet always to evade the logical
issue-the logical issue, In the view OF
the pessimists, being disruption. But
Is disruption the natural outcome of an
Internal .commotion? Is there an in
stance in modern history of q state not
shattered to pieces by a foreign foe,
but SCATTERING itself to pieces by force
| OF centrifugal reaction7 And In the
case OF the dual monarchy 1t is not
paradoxical to maintain that Its de-
liant strength Ia largely due to its

the antagonisms . It contains really
makes for equilibrium; that there Is,
In fact, a static quality In h lnfinity
OF its cross currents and cross pur-
poses, and in the intermingling OF Its
multifarious ~opposites. II one were to
say that Austria Hungary IL too be-
wildering for revolution, too much at
war with itself to be subverted, 1t
would be difficult to impugn h state

FOOD c
What An NJ. D. Learned.

Al prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public.
1T was my own experience that
iirst led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and I also know, from having
prescribed 1t to co~nyalescents and
other weak patients, that the food Is a
wonderful rebuilder and restorer Of
nerve and brain tissue, as well as mus
Gle. 1t improves the digestion and
sick patients gain very rapidly, just
as / did in strength and weight.
Il was in such a low state that !
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains Of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, / was not quite as well
as when / left home.
"My food did not sustain me and
II became plain that I must change.
Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks ] could walk a mile
without fatigue, and In five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, TAX
ing up hard work again. Since that
time / have felt as well and strong
as / aver did in my life.

GERMANS FIGHTING
ON ENEMIES MONEY
Teutons Hope To Bankrupt
Other Nations No Matter
What Outcome Is.

One OF the most significant articles Of
news that has thus Ear penetrated the
network of censors Is the statement
that Germany has seized Russian funds
to the amount Of SIS, 900. 900 deposited
in the banks OF Berlin.
Just what this statement may por-
tend Is explained by Professor Roland
G. Usher, the famous authority on In
ternational politics. In his recent book
"Pan-Germanism," a forecast and ex-
PLANTATION OF the present war.
Germany. he explains, has been able
TO carry forward her amazing econom
&c development by borrowing huge
sums from the very nations with which
she Is now at She freely admits
the great advantage to her natural en-
eTnies OF this arrangement, whereby
they exact from her as interest a year
ly tribute OF millions, so long as peace
prevails, but claim that those finan-
cial factors, which seem to be weak
nesses in times OF peace, would be, In
case OF war, a tower OF strength. Ger
many il almost, II not quite, self-sup-
porting, and, with the trade between
herself and other European nations
overland in time Of var b could boz
come entirely self-sufficing. MOI Is she
dependent upon her imports for the
raw materials to keep her factories
busy or to her army n navy.
Whatever the balance may be upon the
books of the world, she is actually rich,
actually richer than England or France.
So long as her army Is unbeaten, no
one can take away from her her fac
tories, mines, and fields. Whoever may
own them on paper. she owns them In
reality and will continue to w them
so long as she Is strong enough to keep
them. Surprising nov that h should
repudiate the whole debt which she
owes other nations, should seize the
capital out Of which her economic de-
yeiopment was created, what then?
Would she not actually possess her
economic development for nothing?
Could she ever be compelled to pay
for It by anything short OF actual con-
quest, and is there In the world any
nation strong enough to subdue her up
on her own soil7 Would not such an
economic blow destroy her enemies with
greater certainty than any conquest By

oreat confederate soldier.

Gen. John g. Pemberton, who de-
Tended Vicksburg when that city was
besieged by the Federal army under
General Grant, was born in PhiladeL
phia 100 years ago. He was a gradu-
ate OF West Point and saw service in
the Mexican var. At the beginning Of
the Civil war he cast his fortunes with
the South. After service OF q year or
more In the East he was assigned to
the command Of the department OF
the Mississippi by President Jefferson
Davis, with whom he was q great ia
vorite. For nine months General Penn
berton defended Vicksburg against the
Northern armies. The siege lasted till
July 4, 1868, when, owing to a scarcity
OF ammunition and provisions, Gem
eral Pembert0n surrendered his entire
army. After the war he retired to
Warrington, Va, and in 1875 moved
70 Perth Amboy, N. J., and subse-
QuentIy to Philadelphia, where he died
IN 1881.

sea or land7 Indeed, has she not every
thing to gain from war and nothing 70
lose?
So long as peace prevails and she
continues to recognize the validity OF
present notions Of commercial morality,
she must continue to pay huge sums
must continue yearly to part with &C
tual wealth in goods until the debt Is
paid. The moment war breaks out, she
need a nothing. II she is defeated,
she will merely be compelled to pay
what she vas already obligated to pay.
II victorious, she need never pay In
terest or principal. Would that not be
compared to a war indemnity Of any
size whatever, and, when such a ma
neuver might also not i~mprobably COM
pass the control Of the worlds COM
merce, what German would doubt that
the chances OF war are better than
those of peace? -.
She will get the cash with which to
begin the war by borrowing from her
enemies, and she will this time either
commander the money in the banks
before war is declared, or h will make
war too quickly to permit any repeti-
ton OF the executed by h
London and Paris bankers In the sum-
mer of 1911. She cares very little who
claims title to that money, 30 long as
she has II. so long as they can take II
from her only by force. She Is con-
scious that German securities viii
everywhere fall in the foreign stock
exchanges when war actually begins;
she also Knows that English and
French stocks will tumble likewise, and
she believes that when the reaction OF
economic forces Is complete, the de-
struction OF values In England and
France will be too great to make the
loss OF value in her own securities OF
any Significance. Besides, who own
her securities7 Who, therefore, viii
bear the fall In value7 Her securities
are only paper. The factories and fields
they actually represent are not changed
in value by operations on the stock
market. The foreign investor will lose
money and Will bear the only osten-
sible losses and will thus be dealt an
additional blow. Germany, in other
words, can fight her enemies with their
own money. and may obtain not only
her industries for nothing. but her
army and navy and the whole cost Of
the war as well. The foreigner may
even provide her with the money noo-
essary to begin the war"

MERCHANT MARINE "
PROGRAM ASSAILED
BY CONSERVATIVES
BY JOHN sNURE.

Washington.-Special - The dmin-
istration and congress are getting into
difficulties in their efforts to establish
an American merchant marine in short
order. Sharp debate on several phases
OF the shipping situation is expected TO
mark this week in congress, both In the
House and Senate
The strongest kind OF pressure is
being brought on the administration
and on congress to have the bill Tor
the government purchase or ships
halted. Thus far, 1t has not succeeded.
Shipping interests are getting lobbies
busy here and conservatives and re-
dictionaries in congress who Q n
form of government ownership are de-
nouncing the plan and opposing II on
one ground and another. Among other
things, the argument is made that the
declining state OF the revenues VIII not
warrant II.
Not only this. but opposition has
ny out to the war risk insurance
bill In the House. This bill has passed
the Senate. 1t will be forced through
the House this week, under a rule, &C
cording to predictions OF Leader On-
Ask for Guarantee.
The situation with respect to the
! war risk insurance bill and the gov
eminent purchase bill Is much the
same. The war risk insurance bill con-
templates that the government shall 60
into the business OF insuring vessels
and their cargoes only in case. ade-
quate insurance at reasonable rates
cannot be had of private concerns.
Following the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war, insurance companies
raised their rates on war risks 20 un-
reasonable heights. The war risk In
surance bill is intended to force the
