COLLECTING PAPER AND RAGS.

The rector of Grace Church, IT,
FrancIsyille, announced Sunday that
in view Of the great demand for waste
paper and rags, the actual need In fact
for these commodities TO relieve the
high prices IN paper Of all kinds, that
he would begin a systematic collection
of both paper and rags, selling same
for church purposes, Ills plans are
not fully formulated. for collecting and
shipping but he asked in advance bis
parishioners and all others Interested
10 begin saving their waste until his
arrangements for collecting same were
made.
The project Is a good one Ia every
respect. az not only providing the
church with some timely revenue, but
as patriotic duty 1t eommends Itself
when the supply In sight does not meet
the demand. The elimination OF waste
In itself is eommendable, and II the
habit OF saving liz formed the lesson
In thrift alone will be we'll worth the
trouble. The stores each destroy week
~ waste paper aud paste board boxes
worth several dollars. Housekeepefs
waste much In paper and rags burned
or sent TO the rubbish heap.
Let every waster Of these commodi-
ties change tactics and begin saving.
MIR skardon's plan could we'll be
Initiated by churches In other towns,
There is a big profit lying waste at
their very doors.

THE REVERSE SIDE.

An economic writer gives the other
side Of the "Buy.athome" question in
these words.
III is frequently said that the rapid
growth Of America has been due, In NO
small measure, 10 her interstate free
trade, II the states. out OF woRdFous
wisdom, had establishede interstat
tariff walls corresponding to the ma,
tionaI tariff, come such situation as
this would have 10 come about The
New England States, instead Of being
chiefly manufacturing eenters, would
have been obliged to devote a large
part Of their energy 60 raising raw
products. This would have been true
even though their tariffs had amounted
10 no more than the difference between
labor cost at home and abroad The
South. taboring under reciprocal tariffs
must have devoted less of her energy
to products peculiar 10 her climate. and
more to manufacturing before she was
fitted for manufacturing and In general
TO production not adapted TO southern
conditions, The West would have been
compelled 10 neglect her vast natural
resources for manufacturing etc, al a
time when she, too, was In no way
adapted TO manufacturing. The whole
laundering scheme would have involved
economic loss. just az the national
tariff does for the nation.
Nowadays 3 certain type OF booster
patriots, In every village from the size
OF pumpkinsille up. are attempting TO
establish precisely such local tariffs by
means Of buy at home campaigns.

MOTHERS STORY OF
bABY'S HEALMENT
With CUTICURA

When my baby was four months
old, rash appeared on her arms, shoul-
der, back, chest, and limbs, and also
her face. 1t was pronounced eczema,
and she was treated, but it seemed
worse. The flesh became as red as fan
mel, and burned, and at times opened
and ran together, making scales, and
she was very cross and fretful. She
would toss around and someone was
compelled to hold her all the time dur
ing the day, and had to get up three
or four times during one night with her.
Then | sent for a cake of Cuticura
Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment.
They almost instantly stopped the itch
ing, and the eczema disappeared, and in
less than amonth' time she was healed"
(Signed) Mrs. Lewis Seaks, RED. 3.
Stewarstown, Pa, Mar. 10, 1916.
Can you read this story without being
wmovedl The suffering of the child, the
V-elf-sacrifice of the mother in care of it
and the wonderful healment of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, Truly peace falls
on many distracted households when
Cuticura enters. Too often it is cause
forregret that neglect of first symptoms,
use of strongly medicated soaps and
coarse olntments have done much to
