For Diseases of the Skin.

Nearly all diseases of the skin such as eczema, tetter, dalt rheum and barbers’ itch, are characterized by an intense itching and smarting, which often makes life a burden and disturbs sleep and rest. Quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain’s Salve. It allays the itching and smarting almost Instantly. Many cases have been cured by its use. For sale by B. F» Fendlg. c The other night, at the opera house in Logansport, a paid speaker for the “wets” asked, “What will the brewery men, the drivers, the bartenders, the saloon proprietors and their families do when your town goes "dry?” A lady in the audience rose and said, “I have washed for twenty years to support a family and educate three children and a drunken husband; they can have my job.” Several murders have occurred in Indianapolis recently. The worst was the murder of an old lady by four young men, who fobbed her of >7.50, which they divided among themselves. All were arrested and confessed to the crime. A negro from Chicago shot and killed a white man whom he had never seen a few evenings ago. He was Intoxicated and stated that he belonged to a society that required murder of its members before they could get married. The third murder occurred Thursday evening, a bar tender named Law killing a man named Monaghan.

CHILDREN ANDRCHOOLLUNCHEB If your children cannot return home for noonday luncheon, let them go to a restaurant, or provide a good luncheon. Children with fickle appetites are more apt to play than eat during the noontime, Jthen eat too much for evening dinner. Eating too heartily at night Is not good for a child engaged almost wholly In mental duties. If the luncheon is tempting, It Is more liable to be eaten. It is said- nothing tempts the childish appetite more than raisins, and children will nibble at them when other fruits are let alone. They are highly nutritious and can be eaten raw or cooked in bread. If boiled eggs are included In the luncheon, they should cook at least twenty minutes, otherwise the yolks are indigestible. Good cheese Is nutritious, tbough it should be as sparingly used as meat, for only people engaged in muscular duties demand such heavy food. Bananas are healthful, but oranges are not considered so for luncheon, being a breakfast fruit It is claimed that apples cause headache, because children with weak stomachs eat' apples that contain an acid, which often causes violent spells of headache. Again, children who hive good digestion are benefited by eating them. It is for parents to know what foods agree with the children, for what may be nourishing to one child might prove injurious to another. The chocolate girl, or the one who indulges in crackers and pickles for the noonday luncheon, is a sight to behold, for a worse pimpled face is difficult to find. The penny candy shops do a thriving business when the school opens and they are frequented when the luncheon box fails to meet the demands of a hungry or fickle appetite. If the health of school children is to be considered, then must the luncheon box or basket be carefully prepared. It does not call for much, but it does call for the very best. The best brain workers in the school room are children carefully and sensibly fed; laggards are found among the poorly fed ones. Studying with a half-starved or overfed stomach is like praying with cold feet, both liable to get woefully sidetracked. s
