ECZEMA BURNED AND ITCHED
203 Walnut St, HillBboro, 111. "My
child had a breaking out on tho lower
limbs which developed into eczoma.
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." (Signed) Mrs. Edith
Schwartz, Feb. 28, 1913.

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.

SELF DELUSION.
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."

Creek, Mich. Read "Tho Road to Well
vllle," in pkgs.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Pos'.um must be well
boiled.
Instant Postum Is a soluble pow

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.
Conditions mado him a clergyman. Ho looked
after his little flock, visited tho sick and helped

Pigeon Objected to an Unceremonious Expulsion
SAN FRANCISCO, CAIj. 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.

the poor and did his full
duty, but ho loved to climb "
to tho garret of his llttlo
house and. work out problems
in cuemistry.
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

Alexander Graham Bell will go down In history

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.

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

tho Introduction of tho gin dozens of persons

lot of lawsuits. Somo of them ho won without
much troublo, somo of tlio moro Important wnro

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

LOUISVILLE, KY. Twonty minutes after Miss Lura BIytho of Jefferson

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

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

Painters aro notoriously lacking In

got into conversation with a relative
over nls aperitif at ths :afe. The loyal
Castrian vaunted tho glory of his city.
"Our city," ho said, "produces tho best

"Jaures I Jalires!" muBed tho

It was too much .for tho patriotic
citizen, who roso in disgust and loft
