The eczema began with plwples which contained yellow corruption and from the child's clothing they wero greatly irritated. They seemed to burn, whlqh made the child scratch thorn, resulting in a mass of open places. They made her so cross and fretful that It was ImpOBBlble to keep her quiet.' They caused her to lose much sleep and she was constantly tormented by severe itching and burning. "I tried several well-known reme dies, but got no relief until I cot a sample of Cutlcura Soap and Oint ment, which did so much good that I got a largo quantity that cured her In ten days after she had been affected for two months."

Radium and Its Manufacture. Although, until recently, the manu facture of radium has 'been carried on almost wholly in Franco and Ger many, there appears to bo no good reason why our American carnotito should not bo treated at home, says a writer. Carnotito is much more easily treated than pltchblendo and the es sential features of methods for its chemical treatment aro well known, although much of tho mechanical de tail of operation haB been kept secret. ' As the mechanical requirements, how ever, are those which any well ground ed chemical engineer should bo able to solve, thero seems to bo no good reason why any of our carnotito ores should be shipped abroad, oven at two or three times the present mar ket price of the material.

Many People Deceived by Coffee, Wo like to defend our lndulgencle and habits even though wo may be convinced of their actual harmfuln'ess. A man can convince himself that whiskey is good for him on a cold morning, or beer on a hot summer day when ho wants tho whlskoy or beer. It's tho same with coffee. Thou sands of people suffor headacho and nervousness year after year but try to persuade themselves iho causo is not coffee because they Hko coffee. "While yet a child I commenced using coffee and continued it, writes a Wis. man, "until I was a regular coffeo fiend. I drank It ovory morning and In consequence had a blinding headache nearly every aftornoon. "My folks thought It was coffee that ailed me, but I liked it and would not admit It was the causo bf my trouble, so I stuck to coffoe and tho headaches stuck to mo. "Finally, tho folks stopped buying coffeo and brought homo some Postum. They mndo it right (directions ou pkg.) and told mo to soo what differ ence It would mako with my head, and during that first week on Postum my old affliction did not bother mo once. From that day to this wo havo used nothing but Postum In placo of coffeo headaches aro a thing of tho past and tho whole family is in flno health." "Postum loo'ks good, smells good, tastes good, is good, and dooa good to tho whole body." Namo given by Postum Co., Battlo Creek, Mich. Read "Tho Road to Well vllle," in pkgs.

MAN wIiobo temper was quick and whoso thumbs wero thick used to in dulge In violent languago every time his wife called upon him to button her waist up tho back. Ho had a' hard tlmo getting tho hooks into tho eyes, and oven "lifter ho had them nil ad Justed there was no telling when some of them would get loose. Ono day after ho had nearly all of them fastened his wlfo wriggled a bit and most of tho hooks came looso. "I wish some darn fool would Invent a hook that would stay hooked." said tho husband aftor ho had uttered somo things that aro unnecessary to ropeat "Why don't you?" asked tho wife, not satirically nor' because sho thought ho was a fool, but fr her own peace of mind and to save him annoyance. "I will somo dny when I hnvo a few minutes to spare," ho declared. And ho did. From a slmplo device which ho pat ented and put on tho market ho has made nearly $2,000,000. What a contrast this case is to thnt of Charles Telller, who died tho other day. Telller's whole Hfo was ono of poverty and struggle. More than onco ho was cast Into prison for debt. Ho died of starva tion, being too poor to buy enough food to sustain life, yet no man In all the history of tho world did more to conserve tho food supply of the human race than did Charles Telller. Ho was tho Inventor of cold storage. Other mon havo been made rich through his genius. Hun- dreds of millions of dollars aro saved each year 'through the process ho de veloped. But for hlra great cities such as New York, London, 'Paris and Berlin would be in danger of famine if cut off from their sources of food sup ply through a great storm or tho interruption of their lines of communication. Now York, so far as Its fresh food is concerned, lives from day to day. says tho New York Sun. In 1888, when it was tied up by a blizzard, most of tho food within tho city had been consumed be fore 72 hours had passed. Anothor 72 hours would havo meant much suffer ing. Today, with a tre mendous increase In popu lation, Its position is one of comparative safety. It carries in cold storage enough fowl to support It for weeks. And yet Charles Telller died of starvation! France was responsible for Telller, but every na tion waB his debtor. He was born In Amiens. Moro than 40 years ago, after being released from a dobtor's prison, ho perfected a system for the preservation of meats, vegetables and fruits. Thirty-seven years ago a ship equipped with his cold storage appliance was at sea for more than 100 days and brought Its cargo of meat into port as fresh as tho day it was put aboard. Some Inventors aro careless. Many of them lack business ability. Telller's Ideas wero appro priated by clover men who thought only of using them to their own advantage without feeling any sense of obligation to the inventor, Somo of them laughed or scoffed at him when hb protested that they wero robbing him of his rights. Sensitive and proud ho tried to hide his bitter ness and sought solace in working on other great inventions for tho good of mankind. It takes money to prosccuto studies and experiments, and Telller had llttjo of it. One day somo one re proached tho Fronch government for its neglect of Telller, who was In dlro want. The government acted promptly. It gave tho ribbon of tho Legion of Honor to him. This was a flno thing to do for an old man, nearly all of whose clothes and furni ture wero in pawn. The news of Telller's death last month stirred all France. Tho people may havo neglected Tel ller alive, but thoy honored him dead. His funeral was a national event. Great men delivered eulo gies of him. And now France is to put up a monument to him as one of Its greatest sons. He has monuments in the shape of industrial plants and ships the world over. About the same time that Telller was dying Rudolf Diesel, one of tho greatest Inventors Ger many has produced, full or cast himself from tho deck of a ship on which he was a passonger. Ho was a broken-hearted bankrupt a genius without business senBo. His engine is in use in every quarter of tho globo. Next to Watt he 1b ranked by some as the greatest figure in tho development of power. For all tho good ho did in tho advance ment of science and Industry his reward was small Indeed. Harassed by creditors, by his ur gent noeds, his life had been ono of misery for years. Tho tragedy of great Inventors Is not confined to Franco or Germany. Tho United States has moro cases perhaps than Europe. It is seldom that a genius is able to protect himself In a world ly way. It Is 'only after ho Is dead that tho world begins to appreclato his full worth. Sometimes oven that Is lacking. Without tho Rev. Hannibal Goodwin photogra phy would not hnvo been developed to tho extent it is today. Without him It Is doubtful If thero would bo motion pictures today, yet It Is a ques tion whether any of tho great producers of tho photo play who havo made millions upon millions of dollars In tho last ten years or ono person out of ton thousand of "thoso who go to seo tho "movies" know of Hannibal Goodwin and his work, The Rev. Mr. Goodwin was pastor of a llttlo shurch In Nowark. His pay was small, baroly wnough to support his family. Ho was a great big, kindly man. Nature Intonded him for a scientist.

Tho squad of bluecoats had assembled at ho cen tral Rtntlon for tho midnight chnngo of shifts. The stalwart policemen formed In lino and started to march In a short reylnw before roll call when, amid tho tramping of feet, Lieutenant Green no ticed a llttlo bluo-grny pigeon marching bravely along Just behind tho Inst man In lino, head erect, chest out and with very much of a military air. "Halt," cried tho lieutenants Tho lino camo to an Instnnt stop. "How'd that pigeon got in here?" ho demanded sharply. , At onco two dozen helmoted heads turned about on two dozen shouldors, and ns .many sets of oyos searched out his blrdshlp, who, also, had halted on command. Tho bird novcr blinked an eyelash (If birds havo eyelashes). "Get out of horo," thundered Lieutenant Groon, when his men had failed to answer hlfi question. "Get out! Shoo!" ho repeated, as tho pigeon cocked Its head on ono sldo and looked tho cbm mandlng officer over. A titter went round tho ranks, but was Instantly subdued by a glaro from tho lieutenant. "Officers Haggorty and num. put that pigeon out." And tho lieutenant turned his back ns it tho Incident woro closed. It would havo been closed, too, had not tho pigeon objected to this unceremonious expulsion. Ofllcors Hnggerty and Bum strodo with great dignity up to tho bird, which retreated ns slowly toward tho door. It walked along a few stops, then looked back ns much as though it bellovod tho ordor had been withdrawn. Now it was at tho door, and the pollcomcn-blrd-drlvers wero about to sigh with relief when tho feathered volunteer flow back over their heads and rejoined his comrades In lino. Perhaps flvo times tho performance waa repeated, but with no hotter success, and discipline was rapidly giving way to an upheaval of mirth when Lieutenant Green camo back to earth and hastily cnlled tho roll. Then tho lino swung about, nnd in pairs tho men' marched out to tho street. Tho pigeon, with a look of seeming satisfaction on Hb none-too-oxpresslvo face, tagged along right at their heels. , "You're a you'ro a well, a mighty mipprtlnont bird," said tho lieutenant. Then, even ho broke tho rules long enough to laugh. This Girl Won a Husband in Twenty Minutes (WISH WB MAD WlE 5 A IT (f f jjBtBBBBBrfV.

When ho got into that gar ret ho forgot tho world. His wife or his daughter might call htm and ho might answer mechnnlcnl ly, but it Is doubtful if ho heard them. He would forget his meals, possibly somo ongngomont so absorbed would ho become. Sometimes he would climb into tho garret early Sundny morning and when hours later he would appear in the pulpit his hands would bo stained with tho chemicals ho had been using. Onco he went Into the pulpit with his vestments discolored by tho acids. Ho did not know It. fc In that garret the preacher-scientist dovoloped tho photographic film. Success with his invention brought sorrow to tho clergyman. It was In 1887 that ho completed his work on tho film. Whatever his dreams of fortune they wero shattered. A photographic company attempted to prevent Goodwin from oh talnlng a patent. Tho company was rich. Tho clergyman was poor. A man who Is poor has a tremendous handicap In such a legal fight ns tho one that followed. A rich corporation cdn hiro lawyers of fine ability. Tho law Is very Blow. The suit becamo a fearful burden to tho preach er Year after year the caso dragged on. When the case had been In the courts 13 years tho Rev. Mr. Goodwin died. Ho was poor. Ho wquld not havo been so poor had he nover invented tho pho tographic film. Possibly tho strufeglo to carry on tho suit and to gain what ho believed was his own shortened his life. v After tho clergyman died his rights to tho film wero sold to a company. His widow got Btock in this concern in return for tho snlo of tho lnven tlon. Years passed and the lawsuit went from court to court. A few months ago 2C years after the 'Goodwin Invention was perfected a decision was handed down supporting all of the Goodwin claims and declaring tho company that had fought the clergyman, from tho first to bo infringing the Hannibal Goodwin patent. What does triumph moan at this lato day? Han nibal Goodwin's widow Is past eighty. His daughter Is Blxty years old. Money cannot com pensate thorn for all tho years that nro gone, tho years of disappointment, hopo deferred and of poverty. And oven now thoy may not get tho money. It will not Sadden tho aged widow If sho never gots a dollar from tho film hor husband created. "Great expectations," oho says, "makes one's lifo discontented. We have taken this matter phil osophically. We havo expected llttlo. With this decision rendered wo still expect llttlo or noth ing." Tho ono great satisfaction sho has nnd thnt counts moro than money Is tho vindication of nil thnt was claimed In bolialf of her husband us tho man who gave tho fllra to tho world. Alexander Graham Bell will go down In history as tho Inventor of tho telephone nnd compara tively llttlo space will bo given to Danlol Draw baugh, yot Boll nnd Drawbaugh filed their patent papers tho samo day, and after eight years of litlgatlonj in which samo of tho greatest lawyers in American wero engaged, throo Justices of tho Supremo court of tho' United States supported Drawbaugh's claim to priority and four supported Bell. By tho narrow margin of ono voto Bell was mado rich and Drawbaugh continued poor. Bell camo on his invention by chanco, Draw, baugh by laborious Btudy. Bell had ovory ad vantage In an educational wny. Drawhough work ed for years in his father's blacksmith shop. Most of his Hfo Drawbaugh was hard pressed for money. His workshop was an old tumbledown shack known as Eborly's mills. Thero ho labored year In and year out. Ho practically died in harnoss, for ho worked on tho day ho died and ho thon was eighty-four years old. He, Invented COO artlclos that havo been of valuo to tho world at large, but ho got llttlo money out of thorn. Ellas Howe, . Inventor of tho sowing machlno, ' was lucky Iri, escaping tho poor houso. Ho camo from a fam ily of Inventors. His uncle, William Howe, Invented tho truss bridgo and his uncle, Tyler Home, invented tho spring bed. Ellas Howe was lame, lazy and shiftless. For years after ho married his wife supported him and their children- by sowing. His wife's patient In dustry no doubt led him to think of ways to light en her toll and tho sewing machine was tho re sult. When he took out his pntent ho sold a halt interest in it for G00 to tho man from whom ho rented a garret Eleven daya after tho granting of tho patont he assigned tho other half interest over to his father, nominally for -$1,000, but really to satisfy claims for small sums tho father had given to him, j To support his family ho becamo a locomotive engineer. Ho was not much of a success as an engineer and lost his Job. That waa fortunate, although ho did not think so at tho time. His brother had been sent to England to lntro dUco tho sowing machlno and thought ho waa doing a wonderful piece of business when ho sold tho English rights for $1,250. There was ono saying clnuso In thnt bill of salo. It provided that tho inventor should got $15 for ovory ma chine sold. Ellas Hown with his wlfo and threo children followed his brothor to England. Ho got work at $15 a week at manufacturing his own machines. Ho was so Incompetent as a workor that ho waa discharged. For two years ho was 'poverty Btrlcken nnd only escaped Jail In Englnnd by tak. lng tho poor debtor's oath. Through tho charity of a sea captain ho nnd his family wero brought back to America. Two weetfs aftor his return his wlfo died owing to tho privation to which sho had been subjected. Destituto nnd forlorn Howo drifted nbout from placo to placo. His father took pity on him and roconvoyed tho half Interest in tho patont to Ellas. Then Howe took advantago of tho fact that various persons were infringing on his patp ent and sued them. For four years tho suits dragged along. Howe won most of them and col locted $15,000 in one Instance. With this money he repurchased tho half interest ho had sold to tho owner of tho garret for $500. That was one of the few sensible things ho ovor did In a business way. When ho died in 18G7 at tho ago of forty-eight ho left $2,000,000. EH Whitney invented the cotton gin. Ho was a New Engjander who wont south, and on the plan tation of'Gon. Nathaniel Green of Revolutionary fame saw tho slaves separating tho lint from tho cotton seed by hand. Few things thnt camo from tho brain of many hare worked a greater revolution than tho cotton gin. Without Injury to tho fiber it cuts tho lint from tho seed nnd pllos H Into tho frame in which later it Is baled, From his Invention, which may bo claused ns one of tho ten most Important In history, W'hitnoy nover got n dollar of proilt. Immediately upon tho Introduction of tho gin dozens of persons Pirated tho Invention. Whitney tried to protoct no jubui rignis anil soon became involved 'n a lot of lawsuits. Somo of them ho won without much troublo, somo of tlio moro Important wnro carrlod from court to court and woro dragged on Interminably, Tho affair becamo one of tho scandals of tho time. Mr. Whltnun, disgusted with tho protracted and oxpenslvo litigation, nearly ,nt tho end of his flnnncial resources and despairing of evor getting Justice in tho courts, determined to let tho world havo tho benefit of his invention without proflt to himself. Tho stato of Georgia in recognition of what it had benefited through tho gin voted $50, 000 to him. That did not cover the. legal costs tho lawyors' foes and tho tlmo ho had given to tho creation of tho gin, but with this fhonoy ho embarked in business In Now England In tho man ufacture of firearms, and mado enough money to llvo in comparative cubo. LOUISVILLE, KY. Twonty minutes after Miss Lura BIytho of Jefferson vlllo, Ind., mot William B. Morang of Danville, Va., sho becamo his bride. Magistrate Oscar Hay of Jeftersonvllle, Just across tho river from Louisville, and a famous Gretna Green, arranged this 20- mlnuto wooing and marrlngo. Sometlmo ago a newspaper story waa published to tho offect that Magistrate Hay would not only perform the mar riage coromony, but would bo glad to arrango matches for tho bashful lovelorn. Tho story camo to tho notlco of Mr. Morang, who is a prosperous contracting carpenter, and ho called on Magtstrato Hay to find him a wlfo. Mr. Hay had not meant that part ot his offer seriously, but ho resolved to "mako good. A match was finally arranged with nJxulsvlllo woman, nnd laBt Sunday Morang reached LouIb vlllo from Danvillo. Uo went to tho homo ot his prospective brldo and returned to tho magistrate's , office with a dismal face. "I can't marry that woman you picked out for me," ho said. t- "Why not?" asked Mr. Hay. t "Sho didn't wait for mo. Sho married anothor fellow a wcok ago." , "Too bad." said tho magistrate "Well, as I undertook to got you a wife, I'll get you ono." ' "You'll havo to hurry," said Morang. "I'vo left a lot of business In Dan ville nnd I'm going back to night." Tho magistrate thought ovor his list of ollglblo young women and called up Miss Lura BIytho, daughter ot Calvin BIytho, who lived near. Ho gavo such a glowing description ot Morang that Miss BIytho camo right over to meet him. At sqvon o'clock they woro Introduced. Ten minutes later they an nounced that they had Accepted each tithcr, and ten minutes later Maglatrata Hay performed tho marriage ceremony. tr They hnvo gono to Danvillo, Va., to maxo their home.
