ECZEMA IN INFANTS
'THUS disease lms different degrees
of severity nnd tatty even be asso
ciated with conditions which end
fatally, but that is not the usual re
sult. Any kind of n baby, fiit or lean,
plump or emaciated, may have it,
but it seems to have a preference to
those who have catarrhal troubles,
who are scrofulous, as It used to be
called, or who have rickets, Indiges
tion, anemia or fever of various kinds.
The disease may occur at any perioil
of Infancy, before or after weaning,
and the pain and soreness of teething
doubtless aggravates it in many cases.
There is probably a germ which
causes it, at least in some cases, and
it may be associated with the itch
and with vermin of different species.
It also has a relation to tllthlness and
neglect of the nose, ears and eyes and
with the Irritating sullva of a dirty
mouth.
Other causes are constipation, Indi
gestion, prolonged exposure to the
sun's rays or to the heat of a badly
ventilated room.
Then an eruption appears on the en
tire body, on the face and scalp, or on
the scalp alone.
At tlrst this eruption Is composed f
red dots or points ; in a few days they
contain a fluid; nnd a little later the
fluid becomes purulent, the points of
the eruption run together, and we soon
have a number of crusts or scabs, or
perhaps a sheet of scabs covering the
entire scalp.
The itching Is continuous night and
day, and there Is constant scratching
or rubbing the scalp.
Infectious material Is carried by the
nails and lingers and before long the
eyes, nose, mouth and ears and other
parts of the body ure sore as a result
of this transmission.
In treating such a case, select, If
possible, a doctor who is familiar with
the diseases of Infants and children.
These few suggestions may also
prove serviceable: Cut the baby's
nnllg to prevent scratching ; out the
hair; wash out the rectum dall.t ; and
protect the head and face with a thin
muslin cap or bonnet.
Apply neither hot or cold water to
the scalp, and keep the eruption cov
ered with a dotting powder of boric
acid, zinc, or starch.
When the scabs loosen. iiove them
cautiously and apply a mildly astrin
gent ointment, removing It and re-applying
dally.
Kind, hy experiment and your doc
tor's help, the kind of food which
will suit the child, and give a mild
tonic to brace up the general condi
tion. (Copyright by Ooorir Mat hew Admi

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
By F. A. WALK E R
CLIMBING THE HILLS
O LOWLY over the hills on the wlnd
WJ Ing roads, toward a loftier crest
and a higher life, noble men and wom
en wend their weary way, forgetful of
time, forgetful of everything but the
goal that lies waiting for them at the
end of their Journey.
Some of these humans as they move
along weave the scattered threads of
gold which they gather Into shining
garments; others content themselves
with humility, from which they get
their greatest reward.
All are governed by Ambition.
The censors enumerate, catalogue
and classify the good and the bad.
They leave the result of their labors
to the travelers Who are yet to come,
and who like those of the present must
learn from the climbers who have gone
before.
If we of this day and generation
have within us the proper energy and
Interest, we shall go a little higher,
but we must tight every Inch of the
way for foothold and keep our honor
as bright as burnished silver.
We must pay the price In constant
work. We must lift our eyes to the
skies and march on and on undaunted.
We must pack our hearts with faith.
Faith Is for the hour when defeat
threatens, to carry us over the crisis,
up to a higher altitude where the
ground Is firm, where hope becomes
doubly sure, and we know and feel
within our souls that we have at last
reached the coveted turning point of
our career.
From the hot-headed, the obdurate
and the foolhardy, Ambition turns
away sorrowfully ; but to the earnest,
the courageous and the unwavering
she stretches out her strong arm and
lifts them up to distinction.
If you have been tempted to with
draw from the chase, but have over
come the Impulse, be assured that you
are climbing on solid ground.
You may have smarted awhile un
der the stroke of the lash, but be
cause of the stripes you have become
a better climber, a better man or
woman.
For you have learned how to shut
your mouth and say nothing when
ongry; how to put forth the last
ounce of your own strength, and how,
when almost overcome, to rely on
faith, which sustained you and en
abled you to reach the goal, which Is
possible for any one who has the
simple trust of a little child In the
promise of his father.

S by MiX'lura Neaepayer SindUate.)
THE degree of a man's Intelligence
may be Judged by the worth of the
things he considers Important, always
supposing that the Judges know what
things really are Important.
Bill Is an average man and sells
bonds to get a living. He plays golf,
reads the sport page and cusses con
gress. But the thing uppermost In
his mind, the burden of his conversa
tion and the goal of his labors la an
extension of the car track from Its
present terminal to a point eight
blocks farther east.
Jack Is an average man. He lays
brick and worries about the cost of
meat and takes an Interest In box
scores and politics ; but his chief con
cern Is to persuade boys to Join the
Y. M. C. A.
Bob Is average also. He clerks In a
store and reads outdoor magazines and
Invests his spare money in fishing
tackle. He thinks the most Important
task this generation has to face Is
the preservation of standing timber.
Henry Is a planter, tie is tnieresieu
In radio development and religion, and
enjoys his children and his flivver;
but his spare time Is devoted to
earnest correspondence designed to
promote Interest In a high tariff on
peanuts.
George Is ordinary- a" ways. He
writes Insurance and keeps a cage of
pigeons; reads the magazines that
tell how great and wealthy men get
that way ; delights In helping the chil
dren with their lessons, reads aloud
from Shakespeare. He will tell you
that the great need Of the times is
purification of the drama.
Pete Isn't unusual. He Is a tailor
and enjoys the study of ancient fash
Ions. He has a good collection of old
coins; thinks everybody should sleep
out of doors; teaches a class In Sun
day school. Whenever opportunity
appears he tells people that the great
need of the present Is universal study
of Esperanto.
Clyde Is a traveling man and reads
Emerson. He thinks the breeding of
live stock should be encouraged, nnd
he Is working on an automatic shoe
lace; but his soul Is disturbed by the
urgent need of laws to suppress idle
pleasure seekers.
"Ah, well ; perhaps you can Judge a
man's Intelligence by the worth of the

O
An egotist U a man who Is always
talking about himself when you want
to talk about yourself.
T WAS a cold, disagreeable day,
late in November, and the cutting
wind blew In fierce little gusts
around the corners of the tall city
buildings. The streets were almost
deserted, save for a few men nnd
women who, muffled almost beyond
recognition, hurried with heads bent
in face of the wind, which seemed
to come from every direction. The
thermometer registered several de
grees below zero, and the sky was
heavy, with every indication of snow.
No one noticed that the great clock In
the courthouse had stopped, and at
three o'clock no one missed the strik
ing of the hour.
At Just one minute before three the
power which ran the clock was turned
off, and, for the first time since It
was started, several years before, the
great hands were still. The nut which
held the hands In place had become
loosened, and a man skilled In the
mechanism of clocks had been called
to tighten the screw.
It was a perilous undertaking. The
clock was three hundred and eighty
feet above the street, and his only
way to get at It was by lowering him
self from a lookout thirty feet nbove.
The face measured twenty-four feet,
the minute hand was nearly twelve
feet long, the hour hand nine. These
hands were very heavy and solid, of
wood covered with galvanized Iron,
and were two feet thick.
Th man stood for a minute, gazing
out over the city, after fastening the
rope which was to let him down to
the clock. He planned to gain a foot
ing on the hour hand, which was nl
most horizontal at this hour, and work
his way across to the center, where
It would take hlin but a moment to
tighten the screw, get back to the
rope and pull himself up. He drew
a deep breath and carefully let him
self over the stone railing of the look
out.
The snow was now falling line nnd
fast, driven hard by the wind. The
man was nlmost blinded by It, when
he felt his foot firm upon the hour
hand. The rope was barely long
enough, nnd he wished lie had taken
a longer one, but he thought It would
not pay to go hack, as long as this
one would rench, though he realized
that It would be harder for him to
get back with the short one. Sitting
down, be slid over to the center and
commenced his work. Every moment
the snow became more blinding, and as
he glanced downwards he noticed that
he could not see the streets below
He had finished and was Just about
to start back for the rope, when he
heard a grent whirr Inside the clock
and almost at the same time felt a
Jerk of the hand upon which he was
seated. He made one mad, hurried
move towards the end of the hand,
when all at once his every sense
seemed to be paralyzed by the deaf
ening sound of the chimes. The sound
seemed to vibrate through every part
of him, and It wns Impossible to at
tempt to move until the last of the
three deep tones striking the hour died
away, and he felt another Jerk of the
hand beneath him. It was but an in
stant, and he bad gained the end of
the hand and was cautiously getting
to his feet. He reached for the rope.
The wind was blowing It and he could
barely touch It with the ends of his
fingers! He groaned aloud and
strained every ligament In an effort
to get a hold on the rope, but It
seemed Impossible. At last It was
almost within his grasp, hut with a
Jerk which nearly unbalanced him, the
hand again slipped, nnd the rope was
hopelessly out of reach i It teei 1
to the desperate man that his reason
must go In that awful Instant !
He reseated himself, for the shock
had weakened his knees and his
strength seemed gone. The cold was
Intense nnd there was no way of
making anyone hear a cry for help.
Nor was there any chance of anyone
discovering his danger. With every
minute the hour hand slipped down
ward over an Inch, and merciful
heaven: As he looked up at the great
minute hand he realized what an aw
ful fate would overcome him In a few
minutes If some help did not come to
him. With every minute the descend
ing hand brought certain death so
much the nearer: Good God! Must
he sit there calmly and count the
minutes until he should be gradually
crushed to death? For at a quarter
past the hour, the minute hand must
pass the hour hand on which he was
seated, and the distance between the
two was only a little over two Inches !
Ills brain seemed dead. He couldn't
think. His gaze was fascinated by
the rapidly descending hand which
was either to crush him to death or
hurl him off on to the steeply slanting
roofs of the building two hundred feet
below. He glanced down. Would It
not be better to Jump then and end
the horrible suspense? No, he loved
his life, and then some help might
come. And so he waited. The min
utes, which had seemed to come so
rapidly uwn each other at first, now
seemed slower, until he wondered If
the clock might not be stopping. But
no. It caroe on and on, this dreadful
thing which was to kill him. He
found himself calculating whether It
would crush him or knock him off.
He wished the bund moved steadily
Instead of In those terrible J.rka.
One more jerk, or minute, and the
rhnnd would touch his head. He
crouched over and waited. The ham)
descended and he could not sit up
without touching it. He must He flat
It would be easier that way. he
thought, and he was quite calm now.
All this time he had been sitting
with Ids face toward the clock, his
feet hanging down between the hour
hand and the dial. As he raised his
feet to lie on the hand he suddenly
stopped, and In a moment was getting
over the side of the hand next to the
clock. Yes, there was room for his
body If he could hold his weight until
the minute hand had passed the hour,
and then he could raise himself again
to his former position. His muscles
were strong, and at flrst his weight
seemed as nothing. The minutes
seemed longer now than ever and the
biting cold was benumbing his Angers
in spite of the heavy gloves he wore.
At last, just as it seemed that he must
let go, It passed, and he raised hlni-
self once more.
But what would this avail him? he
thought. Just another hour of lifei.
He could not endure this for twelve.
nours, even If he could manage to
keep his hold, and this seemed un
likely, for the slant of the hand was
making It more difficult each minute
to keep his position. In a few hours
it would be dark, and with the night,
the cold was certain to become more
intense, and he would freeze. Death
seemed Inevitable, hut he determined
to hold out as long as a ray of hope
came to him.
And so on through the lengthening
hour. Then he found, with the In
creasing slant of the hand, that he
must devise some other method of
hanging on, so he laid himself tint
upon the beam, and, with his arms
around It, braced his feet against the
jut which formed the point. In this
way he could keep his position, even
though the hands were perpendicular.
At each quarter the great chimes rang
out, their vibration almost sickening
him, so loud and close were they.
Quarter past four and he must soon
hang on to the hand again While the
other passed. He lowered himself.
and this time it was harder than bt
fore, for his joints wee- stiff with the
cold, and the altered position of the
hour hand made It more difficult to
get a good hold. Just as the long hand
was passing over the short one, a des
perate Idea entered the frenzied mind
of the man who was making such a
fight for his life. Quickly, though
with great danger of slipping and fall
lng, he reached one leg and then the
other around on to the minute hand,
and, Just as It passed the hour hand,
swung himself upon It.
The horrors of that dizzy Journey
around the clock on the minute hand,
the terrible danger he underwent In
Changing his position on the hand so
as to escape having his head down
wards, cannot be expressed in words,
but he was saved from death, for at
a little after ten minutes past five
o'clock, his half-frozen hands reached
the rope that meant life to him. And
when he had gained the upper built
of the building to take the elevator
to the ground floor, the elevator boy
stared at him In horror. The man
lie had taken up less than three hours
before was young and his hair had
been a rich, dark brown. This was
surely the same man. but his hair was
as white as the snow falling outside:

TOO REALISTIC
Real Log Once Used to

The nautical "knot" was originally
an actual knot on a ship's "log line.'
This In turn took Its name from th
log of wood which wns used by the old
time mariner In measuring distance
'resuming the sea to be without cur
rent, a log thrown Into the water will
remain stationary. Obviously, there
fore, If It Is thrown overboard from
the bows of the ship, by the time tlx
stern passes It, the ship must have
traveled Its own length In such-and
such a time. The log, then, was
really the first way of determining a
ship's Speed. The next step was t
attach a line to the log, the line he
lng knotted at regular Intervals of so
many feet. The log, by this thm
of a fixed type, was thrown overboard
and the line allowed to run free from
a reel. At the end of so many sec
onds the whole apparatus was hauled
In and the knots that had been payed
out counted. The ship was then said
to he traveling ut so many knots. Tin
distance between the knots, as wtell
as the number of seconds durlnx
which the log was overbi.ard wtti
regulated, so as to make it easy to
work out bow many nautical mllCI
