Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and
that
Hobsoh's Eczema Ointment I
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says:
"This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a "
few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON.

GROWING OLD.
Rev. P. L. Terrell, pastor of AnsonTille
circuit, in N. C. Christian Advocate.
The dreams of youth are passing with
The fast increasing years;
Sometimes we think ot ions; ago,
And searje refrain from tears.
The numbering years now passed and gone
Check hope that once was bold,
Because those years locked in the past
Tell me I'm growing old. ,
As fades the. day when evening shades
Sink down upon the vale,
So life's light snn must pass away,
And all its hopes grow pale.
The once bo'd step more feeble grows,
The l al ting gait reveals -The
strength of youth is passing by,
,. Aud ago upon us steals. '
Oh! time, old time, how fast you fly
And bear us on your wing; ; -
The eye grows dim, hair streaks with gray,
As out and on we swing. .
And yet we would not fold the wings
Of time's most rapid flight,
Could we but know they bore us on
To endless pure delight. '
i '
Oh! could we know that when this life,
Thia earthly life, is o'er
We still would live and meet with friends,
The dear oues gone before, : ;
Why, then we'd say, roll, wheels of time,
Roll in your rapid flight;
You only bear us to that clime
Where comes no shade oi nignt.
And there with those we have not seen
For weeks, and months, and years.
We'll meet again at life's pure stream,
. Where there'll be no sad tears.
But doubts will come and fears arise,
That cloud the future sky,
; Which make us wish to linger here,
Afraid, afraid to die.
One thing we know, when we have quit,
' Have quit this mundane shore,
We've severed every earthly tie, .
And every earthly store.
And so we cry for love and hope,
Aud faith's bright star to cheer,
Which makes the pathway sun more bright,
And drives away our fear.
O come, my Lord, and make me know -
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years,
Where all is peace and love.
With such a hand as thine to guide,
Why need we doubt or fear,
The Lord is good and we are his,
The objects of his care.
Then come, sweet hope, and faith and love,
The richest blessings given.
And bear us up and onward till
We reach our home in heaven.
BABY'S SCALE ALL
With Eczema That Broke Out when
but Three Months Old Burned
and Itched So She Could Not Sleep
Chance of Cure Seemed Slight.
CURE BY.CUTICURA
EASY AND COMPLETE
Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
bead and we naa trie Desc aoctors to
treat her. but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
eyes became crossed from the disease
and her scalp was a solid scale all over.
The burning and itching was so severe
that she could not rest, day or night.
We had about eiven up all hopes wnen
ws read an advertisement of the Cuti
cura Remedies. Wo at once got a cake
of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolv
ent and followed directions carefully.
After the first dose of the Cuticura Re
solvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely
and applied the Cuticura Ointment.
Then sne began to improve rapidly and
in two weeks the scale came off her head
and new hair began to grow. In a very
short time she was well. Her eyes weie
cerfectly straight when she recovered
and have been so ever since. . She is now
sixteen years of age and la a picture cf
neaitn. we Know tne cuticura reme
dies cured her and have used them in
our family ever since.
- "We used the uuticura Kemecnes
about five weeks, regularly, and then
we could not tell she had been affected
with any disease. She suffered with
burning and itching and hard, scaly,
dandruff-looking scabs all over her head
and in places on her bedy. We used no
other treatments after we found out what
the Cuticura Remedies would do for her.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.
New York, Jane 3. Bails hare
met with a reverse owing to the
heavy liquidation ( and bear? raids
with a more favorable outlook for the
crop as a menacing. factor in tne
background. The heavy decline in
quotations for stocks and grain have
given some people the idea 'that the
star of ball speculation is on the wane.
Moreover, the government report on
the 2nd instant was far from being as
bullish as many had expected. At
home and abroad the Impression was
that the condition would be pat at 78
to 80 per cent. Bat the government
stated it at 82 against 81.1 a year ago
and 80.9 as the June average for, ten
years past, "fitfds derive some com
fort from the fact that the govern
ment's report did not concur with
some estimates of the incraased acre
age of as high as 4 per cent bat In
stead pat it at 2.8 per cent But even
so the belief is widespread that the
cotton area In this country this year
will be the largest ever known.. West
of the Mississippi large tracts of cat
tle ranges and virgin soil have been
broken up for cotton planting. The
high prices are believed to have stim
ulated cultivation to an unwonted
degree. One indication of this is the
enormous sale of fertilizers this year.
Prices are some $20 a bale higher
than those of a year ago. Besides.
the bulls have had to contend against
the dullness of speculation. Many
houses have been advising their cus
tomers not to touch the old crop
months on the ground that they were
too much under the influence of ma
nipulation that to sell them was to
invite a squeeze and to buy them
might be simply "holding the bag"
for the big bulls to fill. And the mills
stick to their policy of curtailment.
Spot cotton in most parts of the
South has been quiet Dry goods re
ports as a rule are far from encourag
ing. The South has been selling new
crop months against the actual cot
ton. Large spot Interests have been
heavy sellers. A. clique of bears at
tacked the market from time to time
with vigor. 'These Include men with
Southern connection. Reports from
China have been favorable. The high
cost of living in this country is some
thing to be reckoned with. Yet bulls
have stood valiantly by their inter
ests, though they may have reduced
their holdings to some extent Mr.
Patten has denied the reports that he
had sold out his line. Messrs. Hayne,
I Brown and Scales are still buying
and supporting the market from time
to time.
The local certificated stock has lab
terly decreased. Liberal shipments
have been made to Europe from the
local stock and Italy, Portugal and
Germany have been buying to some
extent at New Orleans. The weath
er in Texas has suddenly become
very hot
Latterly the short interest here has
greatly increased. Aside from the
big bulls there has been drastic liqui
j dation of long interests. The techni
cal position is supposed to have been
thus Improved. The statistics to
many look strong and it is intimated
that the big bulls are not really
whipped yet. -
On Friday prices advanced on re-
i ports of an active spot demand here

"How much then ia a man better
than a sheep?" Raid the Master, in
arguing the question of Sabbath ob
servance with the Pharisees. A
man was regarded of more value
than a sheep and sheep were very
valuable then in the days of the Sa
viour, but we sometimes wonder
whether, in these enlightened days of
the 20th century, a man. is regarded
of as much value as a dog in North
Carolina. In Cumberland county a
f jw weeks ago one small dog, of no
economic value whatever, bit 39 peo
ple. One of those died with rabies a
few days ago and the other 38 are
taking treatment in the hope of es
caping a similar awful fate. The eco
nomic loss from that one worthless
dog the loss cf the man who died,
the cost of the treatment in time and
money, even if all the others escape
death and the mental worry, can
hardly be estimated. In addition to
the possible loss of life and the eco
nomic loss constantly suffered from
this Bource on account of worthless
dogs, there is the loss of sheep kills 1
every year and other economic losses
Inflicted by canines that enmoer tne
earth: and yet any attempt to make
laws designed to exterminate worm
less dogs meets the fiercest opposition.
Still, we claim to be a civilized and
progressive people. "

Scott's Emulsion

! ROOSEVELT AS "THE MAN
OF
DESTINY."
Baltimore Son.
There appears to be some justifica
tion for those who insist upon calling
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt "The Man
of Destiny." Events seem to ahape
themslves for his advancement.
Even while he was far away In the
jungles of Central Africa political af
fairs were arranging themselves in
the precise manner that would make
his return spectacular. The time of
bis return, which had been arranged
Io?S.B(c?0 happens to coincide with
thi fiailtical moment when the affairs
of his party have reached the crisis
and the leaders of both the two
camps into which the party is di
vided are calling to him to be their
Moses., If Mr. Roosevelt Tiad been
anxious to return to power and to of
fice, he could not have shaped events
more adroitly to further his purpose
than they have shaped themselves.
In an article in the North Ameri
can Review Rabbi Stephen 8. Wise
tells of a conversation with a former
member of Mr-Roosevelt's Cabinet.
This ex -official predicted the reflec
tion of Mr. Roosevelt to the Presi
dency and a subsequent change, in
the Constitution which would enable
him to continue in the Presidential
office lor Ufa. The mere stating and
printing of such an idea as this shows
what a hold Mr. Roosevelt has upon
the popular imagination.
Nor ia it surprising that this is so.
There has been in the whole history
of the United States but one career
at all comparable with that of Mr.
Roosevelt. Andrew Jackson was a
frontiersman, a politician of tbe
"rough and tumble" variety, a rough
rider, a soldier, a statesman and
President He was intent upon at
taining what he wanted and he was
not overly concerned about. the Con
stitution and the laws if they ob
structed that which he thought
should be done. Above all. he was
a popular hero, the idol of the peo
ple. "
We have Bald that events have
shaped themselves for Mr. Roose
velt, aa if he were a man of destiny.
Opportunity comes knocking at tbe
door of many men and the. door, re
mains caused. Ail that has happened
for a commonplace man and a com
monplace man would not have be
come distinguished. It required real
ability each time to take the tide at
the flood which led on to fortune.
iLacn important anair in tne career
of Roosevelt seems to have led on to
the fulfillment of destiny. His ca
reer as cowboy in the West led him
to become a Rough Rider in the
Spanish War. His career in the
Spanish War made him Governor of
New York. Being Governor of New
York made him Vice-President, and
the assassination of McKinley made
him President. Whenever an enemy
has dug a pit for him the enemy and
not Roosevelt has fallen into it In
the White House he defied tbe most
powerful politicians of his party and
brought them into subjection. He
was unanimously nominated for the
Presidency in 1904 by a convention
that did not want him. He forced a
Congress to enact laws against its
will, and upon one notable occasion
he employed -the Democratic party to
bring his own party to subjection.
His career since the close of his term
seems to have been a climax, but it
is perhaps leading up to another cli
max. lie leit tne country to engage
in a big hunt. That expedition
would alone have made him a popu
iar hero. While he has been absent
events have been shaping themselves
f jr a return from Elba. On his way
home he has received such honors
and distinctions as no other Ameri
can citizen ever received abroad, and
far above those which came to Gen
eral Grant when he visited Europe
after having been the successful com
mander in the greatest war of mod
era times and twice elected Presi
dent of the United States. Every
event in Europe has tended to in
crease his popularity at home. The
death of King Edward happened at
a time when it was supposed It
would put an end to all the prepara
tioi a for Roosevelt's reception in
England. Instead of that be was
made 8 pec lal Ambassador and be
came one of the central figures in the
greatest pageant of modern timeB.

PRACTICAL NURSING HINTS

mmt Application.
Youth's Companion.
One often needs to know how to
prepare a poultice or other external
remedy ordered by the doctor. These
same applications may be used to re
lieve pain in cases of indisposition
too slight to warrant calling in a doc
tor. .
Mustard foot-baths are. often pre
scribed for severe colds, and for head
ache where there may be too much
blood going to the head, the object
being to dilate the blood-vessels of
the extremities, and in this way
equalize the circulation.
Mix one or two heaping table
spoons of mustard with a little water
and add It to the water in tbe tub
which should le as hot as can be
borne. Tbe bath may 1 given in
bed by having the patient lie on hit-
back and bend his knees. Spread a
blanket over the knees and the tub,
adding hot water from time to time.
Let the feet remain in for fifteen oi
twenty minutes.
Counter-irritants are applied to tbe
skin In order to stimulate the blood
vessels of tbe surface and relieve the
tension in those mere deeply seated.
Mustard is perhaps the most com
mon. Mustard leaves are to be bad
at any drug store. They are superior
to the old fashioned plaster only in
the matter of being ready for instant
use. They burn much more quickly
and severely than tbe home-made
paste of one part mustard to thret
parts flour, but their action is modi
fied by placicg one or two thick
nesses of cheese-cloth between them
and the skin. As soon as the sting
ing sensation is acute and the skin
well reddened, the plaster should b.
removed.
Poultices are usually applied in
cases of deep-seated pain or cases oi
continuous inflimation. Their most
heat is very penetrating. They may
be made tof corn-meal or bread
crumbs, but linseed-meal is most
commonly used. Stir tbe meal into
water wbhich is already boiling, let
this mixtute come to a boil, stirring
briskly all the time. It should be
very thick."
cpreaa a layer a a incn thick on
mu&ilnand cpxer with a layer or two
of cheese-cloth, the edges of which
should turn well over the muslin.
Oil the skin with, vaseline. Applv
the poultice as hot as it can be borne
and cover it with a heavy towel, or,
better, with cotton batting and oil
silk. Do not leave the poultice on
until it becomes cold; have a fresh
one ready be fa re taking off the old
one. A little "Japanese hot-box" or
"hand-warmer" may be placed just
over the poultice hot, so that chang
ing is not necessary so often.
Stupes are flannel cloths wrung out
of hot water to which turpentine is
olten added. Pieces of old blanket
are useful for thi3 purpose. Fold
them to the required size, dip them
in boiling water and lift then to the
center of a stout towel. Fold tbe
towel over, seize the ends and wring
as dry as possible. Carry it to the
bedside in the towel and apply just
as you would a poultice. Stupes are
usually advised for abdominal pain,
Dry heat is sometimes ordered for
inflamed joints, and may be applied
by means of hot flannels. After put
ting them on, cover well to keep in
the heat; change every ten or fifteen
minutes. Salt bags are used for tbe
same purppoee, also for neuralgia
and earache. They are simply flan
nel bags filled with hot sea-salt. They
retain heat for a long time. When
applications of ice are ordered a rub
ber ice cap is necessary. They are
ordinarily applied to the head in
cases where the patient has a high
fever. They are also used to allay
inflamation; for example, In cases lot
appendicitis when the patient is not
operated upon. They should be fill
ed i with finely crushed ice. Place
lumps of ice in a bag of stout tick
ing or canvass and pound with a
mallet.

We have been reading in tbe Ral

in the ring, and after reading about
the ring in Wake we casually picked
up a little patent outside paper pub
lished in Waldo, Fla., and hatmened
to find this, which, with all due res
pect to'the Raleigh papers is the best
thing we have seen about the ring:
"The church bell bow its - melodies
ring, as its tones vibrate and linger.
The fashionable belle with a beau on
her string, has a beautiful ring on
her finger. A jolitical ring ia a very
bad thing. It scoops in the fool and

TUBBING AND RUBBIHG.
Youth's Companion.
Great many people seem to pride
themselves on being well-bathed In
dividuals on the ground that every
morning of their lives they Jump for
a short moment Into a tub of cold
water. As a matter of fact, it is
quite possible to perforn this for three
hundred and sixty-five days in the
year, and yet to miss entirely the real
purpose of the daily bath.
The cold plunge or shower Is excel
lent in its way for those to whom it is
suited, that Is, for the young and the
vigorous, who react perfectly. For
these it is invigorating an stimulat
ing. As a cleansing process it is
hardly enough, because getting clean
does not mean merely letting water
pass over the surface of the body. To
be really cieant one must make sure
that the millions of tiny pores, by
means of which the skin does work
for the physical economy, are kept
cleared of waste products and in good
working condition.
The skin Is one of the most impor
tant of tbe scavengers of the system,
but one cannot expect it to do its work
properly if its myriads of tiny holes
through which it gives off waste mat
ter are blocked.
This waste matter Is largely given
off in the perspiration, which is co ru
ng through it ail the time, whether
sensibly or Insensibly. If this per
spiration is checked, the waste pro
ducts are driven back into the sys
tem, with the result that the other
organs of elimination, the kidneys or
the bowels, are asked to do double
duty: and double duty is not demand
ed of any orgau long without a bill
having to be paid somehow, some
time.
To keep the skin in perfect work
ing condition an occasional bath that
really washes it is called for. This
bath should take the form of plenty
of warm water, some good mild soap
a small brush, and above all a good
rough towel, for the final rub Is really
more important than the soap and
water wash.
The skin Is renewing itself all the
time, with the result that it is al
ways giving off minute scales, and it
is these which largely Berve to block
the pores. Any one can stand in a
good light with a clean, dry nail
brush and prove this. Use the brush
vigorously anywhere on the akin and
observe the minute dry nartides that
will fly off. It stands to reason that
a swift plunge into cold water and a
gingerly dab with a Braooth towel are
not enough properly to remove these
scales. Jn fact, if one were bo placed
that it was temporarily impossible to
get at a bath, tbe skin could be kept
in condition by vigorous dry rubbing
so far as all the purposes of health de
manded.

another. Still others would be satis
fied if somehow an opportunity might
be given them to become first-rate
farmers.
One father I. know gave his boy this
chance by offering him a few hens.
"Take care of these hens," he said,
"and (be eggs shall be partly yours.
I will keep a part of them to pay fr
the feed and other things we have to
buy. You shall be my partner, put
ting your work against my money."
That was this boy's open door. His
heart leaped to take advantage of the
honor his father had bestowed upon
him in making him his partner, lid
began at once to do his part, and it
was not long before he began to get
returns. That is one good thing
about poultry. One does not have to
wait very long before he realizes
something for his work.
The years which slip away on the
farm bring things to pass. The clock
goes on ticking out on the farm just
the same that it does in the great city
factory. And time brought around
the tday when that boy owned a
splendid farm in a good neighbor
hood, with everything human heart
can wish right at hU hand.
And it all came from that chance
to work with his father in the poul
try business.
Tbe beauty of this is that prob
ably that boy weald not have stayed
on that farm if his father had not
done what he did. There were a
number of other brothers, not one of
whom stayed on the farm. Some
went into one kind of business, some
another, and it is fair to suppose that
this lad would have gone the same
way.
The hens saved him to be a good
farmer. It was a paying venture.
SaactlAcattaa as a Dtl-Par lag Agcaey
Lexington Dispatch.
Ten years ago some body stole a
bale of cotton from the gin of Mr. Sam
Simerson, iu Boone township, but as
no trace of the thief could be found, .
the matter was dropped and forgot-
ten. Theiother day Mr. Simerson re
ceived a letter from a certain individ
ual who lives in the State, containing
a check for $48 and a confession that
the writer was the thief. He etolo
the cotton cne night and, under cover
of darkness, made his way to Win-ton
where he disposed of the bale for the
a o?e surr. Mr. Simerson never
dreamed that this man was the thief,
nor did any one else. And here's the
secret of the confession: The man
got religion and had become "sanc
tified," and immediately got this
load of guilt off his electrified
conscience. The Dispatch isn't very
strong on sanctification, but it allows
none to go before it in testifying that
as an agency for influencing the pay
ment of debt, it id unsurpassed, this
being but one of numerous similar in
stance that have come under its ob
servation. Tbe All-VV la Jaaraal.

is how to make herself attractive. But,
without health, it is hard for her to be
lovely in face form or temper. A weak,
sickly woman will be nervous and irrita
ble. Constipation and Kidney poisons
show in pimples, blotches, skin eruptions
and a wretched complexion. But Electric

who want health, beauty and friends.
