Genuine eczema, is one of the coin-
inoaest of skin diseases; and in most
• cases is due to bad habits with neglect
of healthy cleanlineSs. You stop up
• the pores of the skin—eithe y earnnulated dirt or by wearing woolly
under -garments saturated with• per-
spiration; and nature duly punishes
you for the sin against her just laws.
In a patch of true eczema you find
little orifices, the mouths of the sudo-
riperous duct -glands, which "weep"—
i.e,exude a tiny drop of fluid. The
latter congeals, and forms a crust or
scab. There is always itching, and
discomfort, everwhen the patches are
not actually inflamed, as they may
be,
Towards cure, glycerine in some
form or other is the sheet -anchor. As
a rule, zinc ointment well mixed with
7cerine should be smeared on night
id morning. If there be inflamma-
mn, it is sometimes • better to • put
the glycerine in a bottle of lead lo-
tion—an ounce of the former to •a
pint of the latter (you must get the
lotion made up by • a chemist)—and
dab on plenty with a sponge.
No soap should be used. aneno wa-
ter should directly touch the patch of
eczema. But withal every precaution
should be taken to maintain the entire
skin in a cleanly and wholesome
state. • Cotton, or linen, not woollen,
undergarments should always be worn
next the skin.
Sometimes there is gouty disposi-
tion; and then that must be counter-
acted • by a diet of little or no meat,
plenty of fruit and vegetables, no salt -
ad fish or rneats, no alcohol.—A Physi-
cian.
Hints for Mothers and Nurses.
First. A cross baby is nearly al-
ways a sick baby.
Second. Never urge the baby to
walk. He will walk as soon as he is
strong enough.
Third. Don't neglect to have the
baby vaccinated when he is a year
old.
Fourth. Don't consult a neighbor
when the baby is sick. Get a doctor.
Fifth. Don't fail to give the baby
water to drink. When he cries he may
be thirsty, not hungry.
Sixth. You are to blame for any
bad habits the baby may form.
If the baby is sick to -day, do not
wait until to -morrow to call in the
doctoh Things that seem little may
be really very serious. See a doctor
at once, if there is:
1. Vomiting and diarrhoea. These
are danger signs.
2, Sore throat.
3, Crying most of the time.
4. Sore eyes.
6. Running ears.
7. Cough.
8. Sore mouth. •
For constipation, give baby two to
three tablespoonfuls of orange juice,
not at feeding time. If it continues,
see a doctor.
For colic, see that the baby's feet
are warm. Put a hot-water bottle at
his stomach. Don't burn him.
If the baby breathes through his
mouth all the time, his nose is stop-
ped up and he needs treatment.
Enlarged joints and deformed feet.
should never be overlooked, resulting
as they usually do, from errors in
diet or some general disease.
Skin eruptions of all kinds should
be attended to. Most of them are due
to food which does not agree with the
baby, but some are caused by con-
tagious diseases. •.
Convulsions: Put the baby in a
warm bath. Don't burn him. • Send
For the doctor at once.
THE LINEMAN IN THE TROPICS.
The Animals of East Africa Have No
Respect for the Wires.
The Hfe of a telegraph; or telephone
lineman in the tropics is not easy, for
a service that uses overhead wires is
subject to constant damage both from
wild animals and from wild men. The
animal culprits are of all sizes, from
elephants and giraffes down to white
ants and spitl.ers. The giraffes of East
Africa, when they find their progress
checked by a telegrtmli line, .do not
know enough to draw back or "duck"
their heads, but push on and carry the
wires with them, and sometimes the
poles, too. Teak is the only wood that
certain kinds of ants respect, so instru-
ment cases have to be made of that or
of metal. Bees make nests in tele-
phone instruments, and spiders attach
their webs to the porcelain insulators.
When the web t become coated with
dew, the insulation is for the time be-
ing destroyed. In Argentina, spiders
breed in millions in the pampas grass.
AS soon as the egg hatches, the young
spider spins a single web, which the
wind carries across the country. Veils
DT webs sometimes stretch from pole
to pole and eoveir all the wires, Bee.
;le.s have been knoWn to bore holes in
iead, cable and lay their. eggs In thenl,
n the region round Victoria Nyanza,
iie natives tear down the wire to use
or personal adornment. Because of
hie rattily annoyances that are insepa,
able from an overhea.d systean in the
,opics, the wireless system has super-
?,ded it In many places.
KEEP CHILDREN WELL
bURING HOT WEATHER
Every mother knows how fatal the
hot summer months are to small chil-
dren. • Cholera infantum, diarrhoea,
dyeentry and stomach troubles are
rife at this time and often a precious
little life is lost after only a few
hours illness. The mother who keeps
Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels
safe. The occasional use.of the Tab-
lets prevents Stomach and bowel trou-
bles, or if troubles come suddenly—
as it generally does—the Tablets will
bring the baby safely through. They
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.

'OLD DISEASE DISEASE MYSTERY.
British Officer Finds Cause of 4,000
Year Scourge. •
Lieut. -Col. Leiper, of the London
School of Tropical Medicine, has just
returned from Egypt, where he had
been investigating bilharziosis„ and
has communicated an important dis-
covery respecting this disease to the
Royal Society of Medicine.
The disease, which has been a
scourge to the Nile delta for thous-
ands of years, has been discovered to
have been the cause of death in mum-
mies dating back to 2,000 B.C.
In his report Col. Leiper cited a
village where 90 per cent. of the elan-
dren are infected. It has long. been
known that the disease was trans-
mitted by water, but the life and his-
tory of the parasite have remained un-
established.
It has been discovered that the dis-
ease is started in a worni which lives
in the human body. The eggs of this
worm pass from the body into can-
als and pools, where they enter mol-
luss and there undergo certain evolu-
tions. They emerge from the molluss
in a form enabling them to enter the
human body through the skin. In this
way the disease is commonly contract-
ed while bathing and washing.
Col Leiper contends that the die.*
ease can be exterminated by filling the
pools during the dry season.

The Only Safe Way.
Don't sleep on your left side, for it
causes too great a pressure on the
heart. Don't sleep on your stomach,
for that interferes with the respira-
tion of both lungs and makes breath-
ing difficult. Don't sleep on your
back, for this method of getting rest
is bad for the nervous system. Don't
sleep sitting in a chair, for your body
falls into an unnatural position, and
you cannot get the necessary rela-
tion. Don't sleep standing up, for
you may topple over and crack your
skull. Don't sleep.
• Culture.
"My brother is going away to study
culture," said the boastful boy.
"Agri -culture on a farm, I sup-
pose," remarked the giggly girl.

BULLET WOUNDS INFECTED.
"Clean" Punctures Unknown to Ma
Who Treated 10,000 Cases.
Clean wounds apparently do not ex-
ist, said Dr. H. S. Souttar, late sur-
geon -in -chief of the Belgian field hos-
pital, in a lecture before the Royal
Society of Medicine in London. Much
has been written about the clean
wound left by the modern bullet, bu
the docter never met one in his ex-
perience in Flanders, and a colleague
who had treated 10,000 wounds in the
present campaign confirmed this opin-
ion. Every wound is infected, al-
though not all the organisms produe
disease.
Doctor 'Souttar found it was a mis-
taken idea a wounded man could ap-
ply his first idea dressing properly.
It required clean hands and non-inter-
ference with the actual wound. His
instructions were., • that the -skin
around the wound should be disin-
fected :with ioeline, carbolic, or eyen
soap and water, but the wound should
not be touched. External appearances
of wounds are often deceptive. Back
of a small puncture in the skin may
be a cavity as large as a fist, perhaps
with a piece of shell or a bullet at the
bottom.
Tea in the Trenches.
• It is said that tea is the favored
beverage of the soldiers in the
trenches. It is certain that tea is
the most refreshing and sustaining
drink under the circumetances, and it
has good warmth -giving qualities. -It
is the first experience of tea for many
of the soldiers, and the taste will un-
doubtedly spread when they return
to their homes after the war. In fact,
everything points to a greatly increas-
ed consumption of tea all over the
world, and as the supply is insuffi-
cient to cope with it, the high prices
now obtaining may continue for some
years.
A near argument is one in which
nobody gets angry.
