BABY WASTED TO SKELETON, In Torments with Terrible Sores on Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. “My little son, when about a year end a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. At the end of about a year and a half of suf- fering he grew so bad I had to tie his bands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skele- ton and was hardly able to walk. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Rem- edies my precious child would have cied from these terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shel- don, R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn., April 22, 1905.” A Terrible Possibility. Little Lucy came home from school crying piteously. It was some time before the family could learn the cause of her trouble, but finally the sobbing grew less violent, and she wailed out: “Teacher says—if I don’t get my spelling lesson—she’s going to make an example of me, and—she puts ex- amples on the blackboard, and if she puts me there, I’m afraid the scholars will rub me ou—t” Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis- eased portion of the ear.

One day he caught a member of the committee. “Look here,” he said, “I’ve been in- sulted in this club. A man offered me a thousand dollars if I would resign my membership. I must do some thing. Now, what would you advise me to do?” “I advise you to hang on afew days. You'll get a better price.” An Explanation. “Why is it that it is so easy to gath- er an inquisitive crowd in the street? Is it because people haven’t anything else to do?” “No; it is because they’d rather not do it.” Important to Mothers.

China Frightened at Her Own De- moralization as a Result. The casual observer may think that the opium traffic—smuggling opium, smoking opium, and eating opium—is a minor trade, and indulged in by only a few reckless habitues who want to be wafted to other worlds. This is not so. The stamina and the charac- ter of the entire Chinese race have al- ready been so sapped by this drug that the resulting demoralization has frightened even the degraded victims of the habit. To-day China, drugged, debauched, frightened at her owy. des- perate condition, is grappling with the vice that has her by the throat. No such heroic effort at moral reform has ever before been made by a human government. And the Christians who debauched her are looking on, skepti- cally, questioning China’s “sincerity.” At Tien-tsin, where the Chinese of- ficials had closed all the opium dens in the native city, Mr. Merwin found the dens in the foreign concessions licensed for revenue by the foreign consuls, running wide open. In vain the Chinese officials protested that this laxity completely nullified the ef- fort of their own prohibition. _The consuls could not see their way clear zive up the revenue. Truly, it is an extraordinary story. The most conservative official esti- mate of the opium-smoking population iN China is 106,000,000—only 16,000,- 000 more than the entire population of the United States. Many officials. place the nur er at 150,000,000.—Suc- cess Magazine. PREPARE SIMPLE HOME-MADE MIXTURE YOURSELF. Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug- gist In Your Town and Shake Them in a Bottle to Mix This. A well-known authority on Rheu- matism gives the readers of a large New York daily paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces, Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip- tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be- ing a vegetable extraction, are harm- less to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken reg- ularly for a few days, is said to over- come almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any; dimin- ishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without in- juring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give perma- nent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of even the small towns elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the druggists will mix the prescription if asked to.

Mr. Harriman promptly took com- mand of the forces of man against na- ture. With feverish energy, the South- ern Pacific company’s laborers set to work to repair the Lower Mexican Heading break. Twenty-four hours at a stretch they worked. Every freight car for miles around was pressed into service, hurried to the scene, and pushed back and forth, dumping loads of, rock and gravel into the stream. Passenger trains even were held up time and again, while engineers bor. rowed their locomotives for help in the struggle. In fifteen days from the time that the work was begun, the break had been closed and the Colorado hurled back into its proper channel. Seventy- seven thousand cubic yards of rock, gravel and clay had man expended in the fight. With this he had patched up a break which the steady onslaught of the river had opened to a width of 1,100 feet in the soft earth banks. The fight was won. Day by day swarms of workmen are making the great dam stronger and higher. One hundred and forty thousand cubic yards of material, 80,- 000 of which will be solid rock, will be used to withstand future onslaughts of the river. The great wall, when completed, will be sixty-five feet high, ten feet of which will be above the level of the water. And the Colorado, as it laps this unyielding barrier, must realize that its destructive wan- derings are over for all time. Shouts the Divinity.

PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE PRESIDENT. Extensive Greenhouses Attached to the White House Are Taxed to Their Capacity to Provide the Blooms Required. Some extensive and very important improvements are planned for that unique government institution known as the president’s hothouses, says Waldon Fawcett in the New Orleans Picayune. New buildings are to re- place several of the old greenhouses that are now too small to accommo- date their required quota of posies, and incidentally it is proposed. to make this gardener’s domain serve as a sort of floral setting for a private pier that has'been designed as a spe- cial landing for the president’s yachts. This latter statement may for the moment mystify persons who have not been in Washington since Theodore Roosevelt assumed the presidency and who remember conditions at the White House as they were in the old days when the conservatories were lo- cated directly adjoining the executive mansion. However, the reconstruction of the presidential mansion as planned several years ago made it necessary to remove the conservatories from the old site, and now these flower palaces, vastly enlarged in order to meet the demands of more extensive entertain- ing at the White House, are located some distance south of the White House, almost on the banks of the Po- tomac river. Present conditions, therefore, make something of a contrast to those of years gone by when mistresses of the White House could step direct from the drawing room to the floral bower, but for all that the greenhouses are now fully a quarter of a mile from the White House, the president and Mrs. Roosevelt make frequent visits, as do also their children, to the floral estab- lishment maintained for their especial benefit. Often the first lady of the land will personally select the clusters of blooms that she sends to ker per- sonal friends. Just here it may be noted that, for all that the public has heard little on the subject, the floral prerogatives of the president have gradually grown in scope, until nowa- days they constitute one of his most important perquisites. The total flow- er trade of many a small city might be supplied from the floral harvest of the White House conservatories. Fore- most among the demands upon _ the flower shop which Uncle Sam main- tains for his best-paid servant is that for cut flowers for the ornamentation of the various rooms at the White house and the presidential office build- ing. This does not mean, as might be supposed, merely the supplying of the thousands of blooms required for dec- orative purposes on the occasion of every reception or dinner at the White House. That would be responsibility enough for the average florist, but the president’s flower growers must in ad- dition perform a similar service, on a smaller scale, every day in the year. Every morning huge clusters of beau- tiful flowers are placed in almost all the different rooms at the White House and on the desks of the presi- dent and his secretaries at the office building. Even when the family is ab- sent the floral offerings are in place, just the same. However, the greatest drain upon this floral fountain head is found in the tremendous quantities of flowers which are generously given away. President and Mrs. Roosevelt have used flowers as gifts to an extent not followed by any previous occupants of the White House. To many of their relatives and personal friends they send such sweet-scented tokens almost daily, and many a sickroom has been brightened and many a wedding dec- oration enhanced, thanks to the gen- erosity of the occupants of the White House. Perhaps the best idea of the pro. ductiveness of this special flower mart may be formed by a peep into the rosehouses, upon which heavy de- mands are made almost constantly. The most spectacular part of the dis- play is to be seen in the great glass structure given over exclusively to the always preeminent American beauty roses. Here the visitor can look down a long, narrow aisle, lined on either side by close-grown rose bushes rising to a height of 10 or 12 feet. There are thousands upon thousands of plants in this one house, and 1,500 bushes are to be found in an adjoining building devoted to the popular bridesmaid and Golden Gate roses. Other roses, such as the Killarney and Kaiserin, are also extensively cultivated in these gar- dens under glass. Carnations rank next to roses in the output of the White House conservatories, and it is nothing unusual for the president’s gardeners to have 3,000 or 4,000 car- nations in full bloom at one time. President’s Clipping Bureau. In the White House there is a clerk who has also quite a peculiar occu- pation for a government clerk. He is the official clipper and scrap book paster of the president. As is well known, the president, as well as_ his predecessors, has everything concern- the leading papers and pasted in a scrap book. These are sometimes left in the archives of the White House, and there are no end of these bulky It has Are both symptoms of organic de- rangement, and nature’s warning to women of a trouble which will soon- er or later declare itself.
