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 :.; v; V ': Hobson's Eczema Ointment r 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 speclics for it, but without effect. But after a few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was completely cured. "V. WILSON. "Thomasville. N. C, Feb. 22, 1910."

The independents elected their judicial tickets in Tennessee todayiH one of the most exciting and bard fought political contests ever known In the State. Following , are the; successful tickets: - - ' , : , Judges of the Supreme Court, Eastern division John; K- Shields. Middle Division D. L. Lansden, Matt M. Neil. ' State-at-Large, W. D. Beard, Grafton Green. , Judges of the Courl of Civil Ap peals: Eastern Division, H. Y; Hughes; MiddieTMvision, Joseph C. Higgins, S. F. Wilson. State-at-Large, Frank P. Hall, John M. Taylor. The Independent leaders here claim that the majority will approx imate 60,000 votes. The regular Democrats claim these figures will be cut by 10,000 or 15,000 votes and their leaders allege fraud in many places - They also charge that they weredenied representation at the polls by the election commissioner dominated by the Independent fac tion. The latter represents in a large measure the State-wide prohibition element of the Democratic party which has been vigorously opposing Gov. Patterson since his memorable campaign with the late ex-Senator E. W. Carmack for the gubernator ial nomination. x Gov. Patterson entered the fight for the regular ticket and stumped the State for it. ' His enemies lined up solidly with the . independents. The Cooper case charges of attempt ed co-ercion of the Supreme Court by by the Governor in its decision of the famous trial and his pardon of Col. Cooper, played leadiag rolls in the campaign. The Republican leaders, Newell Sanders and H, Clay Evans, entered the fight for the indepen dents and it has been charged that there was a deal following a confer ence at the White House in which President Taft participated. Enemies of Gov. Patterson claim the result today will have disastrous eff ct on his political future. He is a candidate for re-election. ".

That the house-fly 13 a nuisance is a very old opinion. It was one of the plagues , of n Egypt, according to the Hebrew Scriptures. . In the twenty-fourth verse of , the eighth chapter of Exodus we are told, 'And there came a grevioua swarm of flies into tbe house of Pharaoh and into his servants' house and irto all the land of Egypt; the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies." The statement -that they corrupted the land suggests the idea that they were even then considered a source of dangerThere is perhaps something significant also' In the statement that among the plagues that followed were the murrain "of cattle and tbe death of all the first born of Egypt. In modern times, howerver, few people thought of flies as dangerous; they merely con sidered them nuisances.; -r But it has been lately shown that the annoyance, great as It is, is not to be compared wih the harm they do as carriers of disease. For fifteen years or n ore, in tact, ever since the establishment of tbe so-called germ theory of disease, there has been here and . there a 'physician who gave warning against the house-fly as a potential germ carrier. But it was not until the outbreak of the Span-' ish-American War that we were shown how great is tbe offense of al lowing flies to breed undisturbed and to enter habitations where food is exposed. . THE LESSON OF THE SPANISH WAB. In the great concentration camps which were formed in several places in the United States at this time ty phoid fever was the prevailing dis- ase. It appeared not only in every regiment in' the service, but became pidemic in small -encampments of not more than one regiment, and in the larger ones of one or more corps. About one-fifth of the soldiers in the national encampments in the United States during the summer of 1898 developed this disease, and more than eighty per cent, of the total deaths were caused by it.- ' The Surgeon-General of the army ppointed a commission of medical men Dr. Walter Reed, U. S. A., Dr. Victor C. Van ehan. U. ,8-.. EPH9nakpeare, U.- S. V. to seek the causes of this extraor dinary prevalence of typhoid. As the result, . it was shown that infected water was not an important factor in the spread of the disease in these encampments, but that for the most part it was carried by flies from the latrines to the mess tents. That this perfectly obvious fact as it re lates to large encampments of men in the open bad not previously been found out is surprising. It soon became apparent, more over, that the possibility of the house fly acting as a carrier of typhoid and other intestinal diseases is not con fined to large encampments of sol diers or! of laborers on some great public Work, but that all through the country and in small villages where the sanitary arrangements are primitive flies may be. and in fact must be, common carriers of ty phoid. c Further than this, it has' been shown that even In large cities. where sanitation is well looked after in other ways, the prevalence of flies means that a frequent cause of ty phoid has been neglected. The exact way in which this is brought about has beeu shown by several recent investigators, notably by Dr. L. O. Howard, and tbe house fly is now accepted by most physi cians as one of the principal causes of typhoid fever. In large cities, and even in large towns, it does not cause as many cases as contaminated water-supplies have caused, nor per haps as many as contaminated milk, but taking the country as a whole, it is one of the principal causes. Moreover the. house-fly must be feared not - only as a carrier of ty phoid, but as an agent in the spread of nearly all the Int stinal diseases. It carries summer dysentery, and is responsible for the death of many children in the heated eeasob. It is an agent in the Bpread of Asiatic cholera and of tropical dysentery, and it has been shown to possess im portance as a carrier of the germs of tuberculosis. O'tber less dangerous diseases are carried by flies, both to is now a summer as well as a '-.winter remedy. It has the same invigorating and strength-producing ef fect in summer as in winter.

The reasons why the house-fly is such a dangerous disease-carrier are, (1) because of its extraordinary abundance and its fondness for many of the things we eat; (2) because it is attracted to and breeds in all sorts oi fermenting animal matter swarming with bacteria, very many of which are the causative .organisms of dis ease; (8) because It is so constructed that It Is an ideal eerm-carrier: the tongue and the feet and the haif- clothed bodv cbxtv an almost nniim- it ri nnmhoH a ntr.ni I count has shown that as many as six million six hundred thousand bacteria may be found upon a single fly, while as many as one million six hundred thousand recognized as disease-germs have been found on a single individual. That they should be allowed to breed undisturbed and to cause each summer a great loss of life la a seri ous reproach to a civilized people. This ig all the more true since it Is easy to destroy them and to keep a community almost entirely free from them. Oar knowledge would be of great VoIibo even f if nnln Ir-.rWorl .,, avoid flies as far as possible, to screen houses more thoroughly, to multiply the use of trapa and poisons, and to keep. foodstuffs from contamination. THE OBJECT-LESSON IN MANCHURIA. It is interesting to compare the conditions in most of our American cities, where on? can walk through the markets and see exposed food stuffs spotted with flies, with the conditions that existed In Manchuria doring the progress of the Japanese armies in the course of the late Russian-Japanese War. Among the ad mirable sanitary measures taken by tha Japanese, tbe troops were in structed to cover all exposed, foods immediately on entering a new vil lage or town. 1 But these. measures are only pallia tive. . If proper measures were taken by aay community fly-screens might almost become unnecessary, tor there would be almost no flies. To under stand this, it is only needful to know the life history of the common house fly or typhoid-fly, Blnce it has been found : that about ninety-nine per cent, of the flies found in houses be long to this species. . It is safe to say ihatVader present condition ninety nine out of every one hundred flies found In houses have been bred from horse manure. The female fly lays about one hundred and twenty oval, minute white eggs on the surface of the manure, - and these eggs hatch into white maggot?, which grow rapidly, and transform from oval brown puparia into the adult flies. The total life-round occupies about ten days. So abundantly is horse manure, under ordinary conditions, infested by this Insect that one pound taken frjm a pile may breed twelve hundred flies. The house-fly will breed in almost any fermenting or ganic matter, and may be found in ash-pits containing, old bedding, rags, straw, paper, in garbage-pans, and wherever there Is sufficient fer mentation of waste organic matter to cause some heat. The remedy is, then, the most scrupulous cleanliness, the prompt disposal of garbage, and above all, the proper care of horse manure. In most' localities tbe "proper care of horse manure" means simply that it should be collected daily from the stables and placed in a covered re- ceptacle like a large barren and that this should be carried away every away every week, and the manure so distributed that it becomes dry. Where this is imposible, it should be treated with blorid of lime. Tbe feasibility of this method has been shown In a large district in tbe city of Washington. It is only nec essary that health officers and boards of health make and enforce such reg nlatlons, and the plague of bouse flies will measurably abate. The regulations In the District of Columbia provide against the con tamination of exposed food by flies, tbe registration of all places where food is prepared for sale or offered for sale, in order to facilitate inspee tion, and also the registration of sta Dies, ine ordinance in regard to stables is an excellent one, and should be adopted bv all communitim. Somewbajt condensed, it Is as follows: .a.u smiis in wnicn animals are a ii . ... kept shall have toe surface of tbe ground covered with a water-tight floor. Every person occupying a building where domestic animals are kept . shall maintain, In connection therewith, a bin or pit" for the recep uon oi manure, ana pending its re moval from the premises shall place it in said bin or pit. This bin shall ba bo constructed as to exclude rain water, and shall In all other respects be water-tight, except as It may be connected with the public sewer.' ' It shall be provided with a suitable cover, ana constructed so as to pre vent the ingress aud egress of files. No erson owning a stable shall keep any manure or permit any to do aepi m rr uDon anv Dortion oi tr.e rremi- Dther than the bin or pit deacriii- or shall be allow any euch bin or pit to be overfilled or needlessly uncovered. Horse manure may be kept tightly rammed Into well-covered barrels for the purpose of removal in such barrels.

" Da easi ODCe every weeK between November 1st and May Slat of the following year.

No person shall de posit manure removed from tbe bins or pits within any of the more dense ly populated parts of tbe district without a permit from the health officer. Any person violating any I of these provisions shall, upon con viction thereof, be punished by a floe of not more than forty dollars t . i M BBCO OUeUSe. THE NERVOUS CHILD IN THE HEALTHY HOME Youth's Companion. In a former article a plea wae made for the neurotic child wh" is being trained by the neurotic adult, and an attempt was made to show that the combination rarely results in success, and that the closer the relation and the deeper the love, the more disas- astrous the conseauences in tuanv instances. The nervous child has not always a nervous Inheritance. Hu fate is even more tragic when he is the one abnormal member of a hearty, heal thy, careless brood, because be is more likely to be misunderstood, and life can only be made tolerable for him if his elders recognize the fact that what does venr well ' for hk brothers and sisters will not do at all in his case. When the nervous condition can not be traced to inheritance It is often the aftermath of a serious illness. Scarlet fever or measles or any one of the Infectious -disorders child hood will run through the family in an ordinary way, and tbe children aU recver well with the excep- uuu ui uue uiemuer wno, even aiier health seems to be restored, will be found changed in disposition and character.

In short, a. changeling seems to have entered the nurserv. This means that the nervous sys tem has received a shock which the systems of the other children have escaped. The child is not well, and it may be years before the damage is repaired, because nervous shocks are terribly lasting in their consequences, and sick nerves very slow to heal. Errors of diet, resulting ift autoin toxication, are sometimes the cause of the trouble. A child who is irri table and not physically well will sometimes make a marvellous recov ery under treatment directed to the digestive system.

That "a book Is not to be judged by its cover" is a trite old saying, uu coe wnicn no sensible man or woman will call in question. But unhappily our practice often ill ac cords with our theories. Through heedlessness and lack of discrimina tion we have come to associate the lady and the gentleman with a cer tain standing in Boclety and with tbe observance of certain social conven tionalities. There are not a few who would hesitate to term the hodcarrier or tbe washerwoman a gentleman or a lady, yet, in all propriety and Jus tice, these peop'e are often far more worthy of the appellation than those who flaunt it without challenge or question. Serious thinkers rightly distinguish between good manners or politeness and mere etiquette. Dr. Maurice F. Egan, the United States Minister to Denmork, has observed that 'the best manners come from tbe heast, tbe best etiquette from tbe head." And Cardinal Newman was evidently of the same mind when he remarked that "good manners are the outward signs of true religion.", It is possible for the very worst; specimens of humankind to be the very best models of etiquette, but it is utterly impossible for such to be models of genuinely good manners. Many are wont to confuse these two good manners and etiquette: I but very little reflection will show that they are not at all identical. ! Etiquette holds much the same rela-! tion to good manners as elocution does to oratory, and a parallel may be fitly drawn between elocution and oratory on tbe one hand and etiquette aud good manners on the other, i Books and masters and diligent prac- tive may make a good elocutionist, ' but they can never make a real ora tor. There is a vast difference be tween the polished elocutionist, no matter how clear his enunciation or bow graceful bis gestures, and tbe genuine orator. The former may please, but it takes the latter, be be ever so homely and uncouth, to per suade aud carry his audience away with him. - The orator, like the poet, is born not made; his power lies not in artificial acquirements, but in - his own character and conviction. .And .su-with etiquette and good manners. The former may be learned from books, for it is nothing more than a set of conventional rules laid down for the external guidance of society. But something more is requisite for really good manners. They must come from the heart; they are the product of character, and can no more be fonnd in a radically bad man or woman than can wholesome fruit on a dead or rotten tree. . A perfect knowledge and obser vance of tbe rules of etiquette may co-exist with an utter lack of genuine good manners, and the best manners. can often be seen in people densely ignorant of tbe first principles of eti quette. Etiquette varies with time ana place, but good manners are ever the same the wide world over. The man or woman without heart or character may on occasion assume or Bpe good manners, but it is just as impossible to perpetuate such a de ception as it is for the Ethiopian to change his skin or the leopard his spots. It is an artificial, unnatural, forced position, ana tne thin veneer soon cracks. Apropos of this, it is said that the gods once transformed a cat into a lovely woman, And that she conducted herself with perfect propriety till a mouse ran across her path; but from that moment not even tbe gods of high Olympus, with all their power, could make her act as a real woman would have acted In the circumstances. And so with the man of artificial manners. When ofl bis guard and acting according to his nature he will invariable prove tbe best argument for the point we are trying to make. We have all known men poor in this world's goods, hum ble and obscure, unable even to read or write men who would start with surprise if they heard themselves spoken of as "gentlemen" yet rich ly endowed with the true politeness that comes from a good, kind heart. We have known, too, people blessed with every advantage of birth and i education and fortune, totally lack ing in the sterling qualities that go to make tbe real lady or gentleman. Their money and social connections may procure tbe title for them, but the wise know full well that tbe title is an empty one, wholly undeserved all of which goes to prove the truth of Tennyson's assertion: "Kind hearts are more than coronets." NotMng tends so much to brighten and sweeten social Intercourse and make life generally agreeable as the attentions, civilities and courtesies which we style good manners. And since good mannners are the natural outgrowth of character and kindness of heart, it stands to reason that one of our chiefest concers should be the cultivation ot the heart and the af fections and the upbuilding oi char acter through a development of the moral sens. This applies particu larly to those who are responsible for tbe trainingiof the youog. It should be regarded as one of the principal feasures in the education of the child. No amount "of book learning or worldly success will compensate for a iaca oi gooa manners; while the possession of genuinely good man ners wm mate ample amenJs for many little paps in tha dj ct hu ,maa knowIiJ.-s. WHAT HE DESERVED. Youth's Companion. In the effort to make the ycuth cf today self reliant, the boundj cf wis dom and good sense are often over stepped, and a possibility cf power put into bands not competent to c?e IL A spirit of reverence for clJr judgment is more to be commend e 1 than Is the assurance of self confi dence. It 13 gratiflylng to read, in Thomas Holmes' "Pictures and Prob lems of the London Police Courl3 " where a case of "freshness" met with a suitable reward. "Please, sir, I want a summons." It was application time, and the speaker in .the witness box wa3 a 12 year-old boy, well dressed in an Eton suit and an Immaculate cellar. "Whom do you wish it against?" asked the judge. "My father, sir." - J -"What has your father done?" "He has assaulted me." "That was very wrong. Why did he do it?" "Please, sir, he said I had been rude to my sister." "Yes, yon can take out a sum mons, it will be two shillings. . "Please, sir, I am under 12. Can't I have one at half price? I have only one shilling." No, my little man, we have no half price summons." The boy went off, but soon came back with the full price, and the summons w as issued. In due time the father and son ap peared at court. The father wa3 a portly, well dressed man, who boiled with rage he could hardly contain, while his son told how be bad been whipped by him.
