remedy I can reccomend ID sulph-
mr.. which cannot affect the heart
The only way in which I can re-
commend the use of sulphur In the
treatment OF scabies or the itch
is BY thorough Injunction Of every
affected part Of the body with lib
eral quantities Of a well made sulph'
ur ointment which must be left on
over night-the patient must liter
ally wallow in the sulphur oint-
ment - and a hot bath with com,

clothing (which must be boiled OF
otherwise sterilized). Preceding
the Injunction with sulphur ointmen,
the affected skin must be scrubbed
with hot soap and water until the
limit of endurance is reached. Well
made sulphur ointment should be
impalpable-that is. no particle Of
sulphur can be felt with the fingers
OF course if morn than one indi-
vidual in the house is afflicted, all
must undergo the same treatment

An Honor to County.

Aside from the argument for nonpartisan-
ship In the choosing Of members of the judi
ciary, in supporting Floyd E. Thompson for
reelection to the Illinois supreme bench the
electors Of Rock Island county have an op-
portunity to show their Loyalty to one Of their
own citizens. Mr.. Thompson has been a res
ident Of Rock Island county for number of
years. having begun his professional career
here. It is doubtful II there is better known
young man in the county, or one Of greater
deserved popularity. He has made good in
every public capacity in which he has served.

Man is the only animal that de-

instrument or weapon wherewith
to assault his own young. That is
q refinement of the peculiar streak
Of cruelty which prompts such as
saults. 1t is akin to putting on
brass knuckles when preparing for
a fight, or slipping a horseshoe In
side ones glove in q boxing bout.
Physical punishment and mental
punishment are both excellent dis
ciplinary measures. Few OF US
have not been benefited by such
measures. A proper spanking GER
tainly makes the disobedient or IN
ruly child have a certain respect
for the parent; and an unreason-
able or excessive beating with any
implement as certainly creates re-
sentiment in the nOrmal-mindeG
child. Think it over for yourself
if you have had any experience. The
proper dustings you had at the
hands of either parent are remem-
bered with no rancor, rather you
are thankful you were punished.
But if you ever suffered an instru-
mental beating, you recall the affair
as an injustice, no matter what the
occasion was Or how long ago.

every sensible point Of view. You
break down the child's morale when
you thus indicate or announce your

utilize such familiar object as

certainly great mistake in policy.

Children life above the selfish.

forced on her. And she, too, had
mad to give up her Dreams: had
watched them drift away day by
day like little errant silver clouds
overpowered by gold and might.
For instead Of a gallant lover she
mad married a power. instead of a
comrade, a money-making machine:
and instead Of encircling LITTLE
arms and childish prattle. there
was a big house whose rooms
seemed filled with a haunting quiet
that thrilled her soul.
For the first time in many weeks
she felt exhilarated, she forgot her
boredom; forgot that she was go

that women were only dolls to be
bought and paid for and looked
upon as symbol of a mans mater

must have, what striving for dreams
not yet fulfilled, what glorious
hopes.

solicitude of the man for the pretty

their future together. Oh, to be

the Christian church is veering away from the
ology because the bishops OF the Methodist
Episcopal denomination have ruled that here
after young men studying for the Methodist

reconstruction and social problems
But the change that has been made Is Sig

they were to be married the next

Suddenly, she looked down
straight into the eyes of a woman
who was the very essence of all her
visions. Svelte, beautifully gowned,
with the pride Of race in every line,
she looked as out of place in that
throng as a lily in a potato patch.
And as their eyes chung for one

envy that was as poignant as a
