SCABIES

THE skin disease caused by the

site diseases, is especially prevalent
in time of war and among soldiers.
1t Is not only contagious; it is in
flammatory, and accompanied by very
annoying itching, which is worse at
night when one Is In bed.
There are cases In which there Is
no itching, but this is not the rule.
The eruption is located, In the ma
jority Of cases, between the fingers
and on the anterior or palmar sur
face of the wrists and elbows.
But it is not limited to these To-
cations and may be present in the
armpits, the groins, the legs. and
other portions of the body.
The eruption takes the form of
blisters or vesicles. The parasite Sc
cretes substance which initiates the
skin and provokes scratching.
This intensifies the eruption which
may become pustular and present the
appearance of urticaria, or eczema,
together with quantity of crusts or

hair may result from the irritation
Of the eruption when the matrix of

Absolutely United for the
Role

A few months before his death Gen.
Basil Duke of Kentucky, who COM
manded Morgan's cavalry after the
killing of his brother-in-law, Gen.
John Morgan, told this tale at Con-
federate reunion in his home city of
Louisville:
He said that during one of the
Tennessee campaigns Morgan's men
surprised and routed a regiment of
Federal troopers. In the midst of the
retreat one of the enemy, who was
mounted upon big bay horse, sud-
denly turned and charged the victo-
rious Confederates full-tilt, waving his
arm and shrieking like mad as he
bore down upon them alone. Respect
federates forebore shooting at the ap-
preaching foe, but when he was right
upon them they saw there was diff
ferent reason for his foolhardiness.
He was a green recruit. His horse
had run away with him-the bit had
broken, and, white as sheet and
scared stiff, the luckless youth was
being propelled straight at the Whoop-
ing Kentuckians, begging for mercy
as he came.
JEFF Sterritt, a noted wit Of the COM
mand, stopped the horse and made a
willing prisoner of the rider. Sterritt,
who had not washed or shaved for
days and was ferocious looking per-
son, pulled out a big pistol and
wagged it's muzzle in the terrified
Federal's face.
Il don't know whether to kill you
right now" he said, "or wait until the
fight is over!"
Mister" begged the quivering cap
tive, "as favor to me, please don't
do it at all I'm dissipated charac-
ter-and / amt prepared to die!'

given a palace if you wish it."
But Wayne said no, he did not
wish for j palace. 81 will ask for the
mountain yonder where / found the
princess as my reward. 1t belongs to
your kingdom and if you care TO re-
ward me give me the mountain and
the land around it mile in width
1t did not take the king long to
write the deed of gift and Wayne
thanked him and departed.
The dwarfs were willing to do any
thing for Wayne that he asked, and
when he told them they could live
there and have the big sun and moon
they had seen in the big sky outside
their land, they willingly let Wayne
take out all the gold he found and
precious stones.
OF course Wayne became a rich
man and he took care of the dwarfs
as long as they lived. but he was
never able to learn where they came
from.
To the king and queen Wayne gave
the largest of the jewels for their
crowns and to Princess Alfrida he
gave the very moon she had cried for.
Which goes to show that sometimes
those who cry for things do get them
in the end; but it would not be good
plan to cry too long so you had bet
ter not try 1t.

When a Tailor Made the Man


There used to be southern born
colonel of one of the negro regiments
of the United States army whose first
name was James. He was a small,
dapper man, very dignified and very
much aware of the Importance of the
position he filed. He was great be-
lever in athletics and he organized
three baseball teams among. members
of his battalions and started a series
of games for the regimental champion
ship.
One afternoon two of the clubs were
playing an important game of the
series. The commander, watching
from the side line, thought the rivals
were not showing sufficient spirit, con-
sidering that the score was so close
and the championship at stake. He
decided to show both outfits that gin
ger was requisite He yanked off his
service coat, grabbed a bat and de-
clared himself into the game.

IN A NAME ="
I--By MILDRED MARSHALL---
~ Facts about history whence N
derved significance; lucky day and lucky jewel
BY MILDRED MARSHALL

Jacob and the mother predicted that
he would supplant the other. Thus his
name came to signify ''the supplanter"
and Jacqueline, which is derived from
this source, has same significance.
AS the derivatives of Jacob spread
throughout Europe, France adopted
jacques. The great church of ST.
Jacques at Liege spread the love of
the name in Flanders and it was when
the English and French were mingled
together in the camps of the Black
Prince and Henry V that the name
spread into England.
The feminine Jacqueline had already
arisen. Henry V called the wild
Jacqueline of Hainault, Dame Jack.
She, like his Flemish sister-in-law,
Jacquette of Luxembourg, was named
in honor of the saint of Liege. The
nurse of Edward VI whom Holbein
drew by the soubriquet of Mother Jack,
was called Jacquette. Jacquelines in
France are very numerous and the
name is extremely popular in this
country where its ready diminutive,
Jack, sounds good to Yankee ears.
Jade is Jacqueline's talismanic
stone. 1t is said to bring her all
around good luck and wearing it she
will find her hearts desire. Friday is
her lucky day and her lucky number.

%HE WHY ST 0vE KING 5sv'Ha
- SUGGESTIONS

Plutarch, writing in the first century,
says that relatives and fathers some
times cast a spell on their own chill
dren without knowing it.
In fact this appears to be the opin-
ion of all the old writer's on the evil
eye. And starting out upon journey,
or any sort of an expedition, has al
ways been looked upon as time when
the evil eye was particularly liable to
get in it's malevolent work. Also there
is no knowing how far the influence of
the evil eye will carry. Nicolo Valletta
of Naples, firm believer in the evil
eye, offered, in 1877, a reward of ten
scudi for satisfactory answer to this
question-and twelve others-concern-
ing the 'jettatma", as the Italians call
it. SO you will see that you can't be
too careful. If, perchance, you have
the evil eye let your friend get away
from it's influence before he is fairly
set out on his journey-don't follow
him up with your glance. AS to the
superstition of the evil eye in general
it has whole literature of it's own
ancient and modern.

and they wanted that, too.
Now there lived not far away from
the home of the dwarfs a lovely little
princess named Alfrida, and one day
she wanted butterfly that flew
through the palace garden, and ran
away from her nurse trying to
catch it.
She ran so far away that she
reached the land of the dwarfs, and
because they had never seen so beau
tiful a creature as the princess they
wanted to have her live with them.
1t was such strange place that
Princess Alfrida soon forgot her own
home and began to amuse herself
looking at the big stone they called
the sun and all the other queer sights.
After a while she told the dwarfs
that she wanted the sun to play with,
just as they had wanted the real sun
they had seen, and because they did
not give it to her she tegan to cry.
At the foot of the mountain was a
poor shepherd boy watching his goats.
His name was Wayne, and he was
very poor. A little hut and his goats
were the only things he owned.
The little men quickly surrounded
Wayne and began to pull his clothes,
trying to drag him with them; but
though there were many of the
dwarfs Wayne was big and strong.
"What do you want?" he asked.
Listen, answered the dwarfs.
Wayne listened and heard the
screams of the runaway princess who
was cryin., for the sun Of dwarfland.
Inside the rocky home Of the dwarfs
he found the princess still screaming.
The princess was so surprised that
she stopped crying.
Are you the kings daughterY asked
Wayne. "Your fathers servants are
looking everywhere for you. Come, /
will take you home at once" And be-
fore the princess could say any more
Wayne picked her up and placed her

GRAIN PRICES
CLOSE higher
Late Rally on UnfavorabIe
Crop News Attributed.

BU United Press
CHICAGO, May 12.-Grain futures
strengthened late and rallied to a
higher close on the Board Of Trade
today.
The late brisk rally in wheat was
induced by a complete reversal OF
the days general trading. Princes
broke off sharply at the start, with
most traders offering grain and few
willing takers. Reports Of better
domestic demand, moderate exports
and unfavorable crop news filtered
in, causing leading commission
houses to reinstate.
Bullish expression by leading oper-
ators strengthened corn.
Oats closed irregular. Spot re-
gained losses on export sales. July
had a fractional gain while Septem-
Der was weak and lower.
Provisions weakened on profit
sales, despite higher hogs and
grains.
