ERUPTION COVERED HANDS
Centre, Pa.—“The trouble began on
my hands in small white blisters and
€ompletely covered them. Both palms
and backs came out in water blisters
like ivy poison and my hands became
80 badly swollen that I could not move
my fingers. The blisters burst and
then became full of pus and came off
in scales. It then spread all over my
body and the skin became red and
like raw meat. I could not sleep nor
have any rést day or night with such
terrible itching and burning and I
could not bear to put my hands in
water. }
“I tried every remedy that could be
thought of but nothing did ‘any good
until a friend advised Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. Relief was almost in-
stant and in less than a week my
hands were completely healed after
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment.”

. LAPATA TO QUIT
Caranza Resigns on Condition
That Rival Leader Retires
HE IS WILLING TO BE EXILE
Constitutionalist ' Chief Will Resign
Only Under Three Stated Condi-
tions—Message” Causes Tur-
moil in Convention Hall.
Mexico City.—The sesignation of
General Venustiano Carranza as Pro-
visional President and first chief of
the Constitutionalist army, based on
Zapata retire to private life, was read
to the peace convention at Aguasca-
lientes. In the document General Car-
ranza even expressed a willingness to
peace. \
The message caused a turmgil in
the convention hall, and at one time
spectators tried ‘to intervene and
was restored and business proceeded.
In demanding that Villa and Zapata
retire General Carranza said:
“There is a greater ambition than
that of being President of the Re
public, and that is to hold such mili-
tary omnipotence as to permit one
man to oversway all powers of union.
The insistency of General Villa in
keeping command of a division sup-
posed to be all-powerful, and at the
same time pretending to re-establish
at once constitutional order upon the
| basis of the old regime, is a clear indi-
cation that the dream of this chief ix
to constitute himself arbiter of the
destinies of Mexico with the.faculties
io appoint a President, elect a Con-
gress, designate a Supreme Court and
1uld the Government of all the State.
I am ignorant of what the pretensions
of General Zapata are, but believe that
they will not differ greatly from those
of General Villa.
“I wish that my retirement from
power shall not be sterile and that I
im not merely to relinquish the field
to enemies of the revolution, to chief-
tains with personal ambitions.
“I consequently state to the conven
tion that I am disposed to deliver the
command of the (Constitutionalist
army and the executive power of: the
Nation and, if necessary, to leave the
country, only under the three follow-
ing conditions:
“First—A pre-constitutionalist gov-
ernment shall be established with the
support of the Constitutionalist army
until such time as conditions justify a
full legal, constitutional regime.
“Second—General Villa shall resign,
not his candidature to the Presidency
or Vice Presidency. which have never
been offered him, but military com-
mand of the Northern division, retir-
ing to private life and leaving the Re-
public if the convention should vote
that it would be wise for me to do so.
“Third—General Zapata shall ' re-
sign his command likewise, turning
the same over to a general designat-
ed by the convention.”
General Carranza concluded his
massage as follows:
“But if the only thing desired is to
remove me from the leadership so
that personal ambitions or reaction
may find the way: cleared, I then de-
clare that I am firmly resolved to
serve the cause for which I have been
struggling.”
Torreon, Mex.—Gen. Carranza has
been deposed by the Aguas Calientes
peace conference. Gen. Eulalio Gu-
tierrez has been proclaimed provi-
sional president.
Carranza has refused to yield to
Gutierrez unless Gens. Villa and Za-
pata first leave their commands and
the armies of all these factions are
moving troops for a war which will
be between Carranza on one side and
Villa and Zapata on the other.
Auto License Requests for 1915.

ment has received more than 1,000 ap-
plications for licenses for 1915 and

bers daily. statement issued by

LESSON
(By BE. O. SELLERS, Acting Director Sun.
day School Course, Moody Bible Insti-
tute, Chicago.)
LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 8
SOWING AND REAPING.
(World's Temperance Lesson.)
LESSON TEXT—Gal. 6:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT—Whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap.—Gal. 8:7.
Nowhere do the Scriptures excuse
men from the results of their own
sing. The effects of sins, and of bless
ings alike, are unto the succeeding
| generations. France is still paying in
the physical realm the cost of Na
| poleon’s ambition. Europe will have
a greater debt to pay biologically than
any which will be charged against its
exchequers as the result of this in
human and uncalled-for war.
I. Those Who Trespass, vv. 1-8
Jesus plainly instructs us that “tres
| basses must needs come.” Our prob
lem is (a) to avoid being the tres
passer and (b) the manner of our con
duct towards those who do trespass.
In this lesson the second question is
treated first. Though a man be over
taken in the very act of trespassing,
those who are taught and governed by
the Holy Spirit (see chapter 5:16-25)
are to prove to the world by their
conduct that they are thus taught and
governed. They are to “restore such
an one,” considering at the same time
themselves lest they, too, stumble. To
restore is to replace, “to reduce a frac
ture,” to put. a member of the body
into its proper place. Hvery believer
is a member of the body of which
Christ is the head I Cor. 12:12, 14, 27,
and one who falls (stumbles) into sin
is a member out of place.
Man’s Duty to Man.
The first step is to help our erring
brother to bear his burdens (weights)
of temptation, weakness, failure and
sin, and in so doing we “fulfill the law
of Christ,” Ch. 5:14; John 13:34; Rom.
15:3. Jesus Christ not only gave us
this law, but he also lived it as well,
Phil. 2:5-8. The true disciple, who is
really trying to help his brother bear
his burden, does so with the conscious-
ness not of his own rectitude, but rath-
er that through the grace of God he
has been kept from a like fate. Other
wise the man who “thinketh himself
to be something” deceives himself, and
no one else. God knows, so does the
one whom we seek to help, if we are
animated by spiritual pride and boast-
fulness. This is a measuring line
whereby we may judge ourselves
(v. 4). Pride and criticism of others
largely comes from a desire to glory
in ourselves, not so much that we
condemn the acts of our neighbor. In
verse three we are admonished to bear
the burdens—‘weights”—of others. In
verse five we are told that every man
must bear his own burden—*load,” 1.
e., the burden of his own responsi-
bility. No man can bear that load
for another, whereas all men can share
the “weights” of temptation, weak-
ness, failure and sin.
Ill. Those Who Are Taught, vv. 6-10.
Paul clearly sets before us the re-
sponsibility of being enlightened. Being
taught, we must pass on the knowl
edge we have been taught, share the
“good things” (v. 6) we have re-
ceived, see Prov. 11:24; II Cor. 9;86.
Those who refrain from thus aiding
their teachers gain no personal ad-
vantage. The word “mocked” means
to sneer. Men may sneer at God and
think they escape the result of their
sin, but like still produces like. Sow
corn, reap corn; figs, reap figs; sin,
reap sin; Rom. 8:5, 6. In spite of the
contempt men have for God and in
the face of their acceptance of this
principle in other realms they con-
tinue in their sin with a strange fa-
talistic persistence.
Habits Biess or Curse.
This principle has a wide applica-
tion. Sow shame, reap dishonor; sow
hate, reap bitterness; sow love, reap
the fruits of love, kindliness, affection
and esteem. Every act is a process of
sowing. Every appetite fostered, grati-
fled and pampered helps to produce
a crop of habits either to bless or to
curse. This gives color and signifi-
cance to the words of verse eight. “He
that soweth to his own flesh shall of
(his own) the flesh reap corruption.”
If, however, under the leading of the
Holy Spirit (cf. John 6:63; II Cor. 3:6)
we sow to the Spirit, we will reap
eternal life for “this is eternal life
that we may know him.”
Sow a thought, reap an act;
Sow an act, reap a habit;
Sow a habit, reap a destiny.
The, practical application is in verse
nine. If there are such possibilities of
development, “let us not weary of well-
doing.” Our sowing is not a matter of
capricé or convenience. Nor should we,
through weariness, cease our activity.
The temperance application is all
too plain. We must constantly sow in
the minds of the youth the “reaping
of the flesh” for those who cultivate a
taste for liquor. We must sow in the
minds of taxpayers the criminal waste
and folly of trying to regulate this
in the minds of those poor souls now
in the clutch of this damnable evil
that there is a way of deliverance—
the way of the Cross, a permanent and
complete cure for the one who has
gone the farthest or sunk the deepest |
in sin. _ _

ORGAN GRINDERS DAY
HARVEST REAPED BY WASHING-
TON STREET MUSICIAN.
Story From the Capital Concerning
French and German Ambassadors
Is a Good One, Though It is
Not Official.
It was before the war came in grim
earnest, of course, but here is the
form in which a perfectly respectable
old story used to be told over the cig-
prettes in Washington. When the gov-
ernments of France and Germany
were merely barking at each other
pcross the conference table, it hap-
pened one day that an Italian organ
Erinder, strolling along the streets of
‘Washington, planted his instrument
of torture on the amurb in front of the
German legation and began grinding
put the Marseillaise,
' The strains of France's great na-
tional air fell upon the ears of the
German ambassador, Count Bernstorff,
as he sat within, deep in the diplo-
matic puzzles of his office, and a frown
overspread his brow; for the Germans,
though a music-loving people, love not
the tune of the Marseillaise.
When the musician, having reached
the end of the Marseillaise, proceeded
to adjust his machine and play it
over again, the ambassador grew rest-
less. And when the third round be-
gan, Count Bernstorff’s patience broke
under the strain. Hammering upon his
call-bell, he summoned an attendant.
“Go out and drive that fellow from
the block!” he commanded, and was
turning again to his work when a
bright idea flashed upon him. “Here,
wait a moment,” he called, and, draw-
ing a coin from his pocket, gave the
valet some instructions along with the
money.
The valet, swiftly making his way to
the street, addressed the organ
grinder.
“Can you play ‘Die Wacht am
Rhein? ” he asked.
“Yes, sure, Mike, I play him,” re-
plied the son of Italy, in the lingo of
the country.
“Do you know where M’sieur Jus-
serand, the French ambassador, lives?”
now queried the servant.
“Yes, yes, sure, Mike, I know,” re-
sponded the dago,
“Well, here’s a half-dollar,” said the
servant, handing him the coin. “I |
want you to go up to Ambassador Jus-
serand’s house and play ‘Die Wacht |
am Rhein’ for 156 minutes without stop- |
ring. Understand?” |
‘Yes, yes, sure, Mike,” exclaimed |
the dago eagerly, and, slinging his or-
gan across his back, as he prepared to
move on, added proudly:
“Today, beeg day; today I make de
beeg mon’. Ambass’ Jusserand, just
now he giva me one dollar to come
here and play de Marseillaise for 15
minutes.”—New York Evening Post.

Cancers That Cure Themselves.
In the annual report of Doctor Bash-
ford of the Imperial Cancer Research
fund an announcement of great im-
portance is made. It is to the effect
that transplanted tumors fall into two
categories, a very small group that
grow progressively because they do
not produce resistance to their own
growth, and a large group that tend to
disappear spontaneously because they
induce in the body a powerful resist-
ance to their growth.
While this remark is applied only to
tumors artificially produced in animals |
for experimental purposes, it may be
that some at least of the apparently |
| extraordinary cures of cancer in hu-
| man beings have been d i
trafic or seeking to tax it for the sup- | g ge ue to this
port of governments We mus’ sow |
power of the body to resist the growth
of the cancer. If further experiments |
shall result in the discovery of the |
method by which certain resistant
jbodies throw off the cancerous growth,
it will be a long step toward finding a
fway of conferring this power upon |
those who do not possess it.

and butter cakes. The former never
have butter in them and are frequent-
ly raised entirely by means of eggs.
The eggs usually provide the only!
moisture used, but when eggs are ex
pensive, economy sometimes demands
that water be added and baking pow-
der used. In the latter kind, butter
is generally used on account of its
flavor. Its effect on dough is to make
it tender and brittle instead of tough
and elastic.
Sponge cakes are mixed differently
from butter cake§ and should be
baked in a cooler oven and about
one and one-fourth times as long
The tests and rules for baking are:
the same for sponge cakes and butter
cakes.
Gingerbread and other highly spiced
cakes may be classed as “but
ter cakes,” but for economy’s sake
pure rendered beef or veal fat may
be substituted for butter as the flavor
of the fat will not be so evident as im
other kinds of cake.
A cooky also comes under the
class of “butter cakes,” any butter
cake recipe being applicable to cookies
if only one-third to one-half the
amount of milk called for is used.
The dough should be rolled out on a
floured board. Cookies should bake
in a slow oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
Much variety can be made in cakes
by introducing fruits, nuts, spices or
different flavoring extracts intn ths:
dough, or by using only the whites of
eggs for white cakes, or a larger num-
ber of yolks than whites for yellow
cakes. Brown sugar may be used for
dark fruit cake.
Pastry flour will make lighter and
more tender cake than standard flour.
If standard flour is used take twe
tablespoonfuls less for each cupful
measured. In making cake only fine
granulated or powdered sugar should
be used as a rule.
In preparing the pans for cake thew
should be greased well with butter ox
lard or lined with parafiin paper.
Bright, new pans will not need to be
buttered for sponge cakes and if left
| unbuttered a ‘more delicate crust is
formed.
If a wood or coal fire is used thers
should be a small or moderate-size®
fire, but one that will last without
much addition through the baking.
| Regulate the oven long enough be-
fore the cake is to go in to have the
dampers adjusted as they are to re-
main throughout the baking. If this
is not done the dampers must bs
changed to regulate the heat during
the baking, and the cake will not be
so well baked. Most cakes can be at
once removed from the pan whem
baked, but very rich cakes and dark
fruit cake will be liable to break um-
less allowed to stand about five min-
utes.
Spicy Chili Sauce.
To make chili sauce cut 24 tomatoes
up in small pieces and cook as for the
table. Run twelve green peppers and
eight onions through the meat chop-
per. Rub the tomatoes through =
sieve or colander and have the pep~
| pers and onions ready to add to ths
tomatoes, with two tablespoontfuls
each of ground cinnamon, groun@
cloves and allspice, four tablespoon
fuls of brown sugar, four tablespoas-
fuls of salt and three quarts of cider
vinegar. Mix all together and boil for
three hours. Put, when hot, in stes
lized jars or bottles and keep In =
| cool place.
