Y. Vols.) has been in existence since the return of the regiment from the three years service in the Civil War, from 1S61 to lS6o. When the active regiment entered into possession of the new armory, Ht Klgluh avenue and Fifteenth street, a room was set aside as the home of the veteran association. The comrades in order tu make the room Interesting, have accumulated a large number, of relics of th service of the regiment in the Civil War.

Church has Is that the type of Its members are such, both as regards personality and aggressiveness in work, that the church' as an organized body has been felt from one end of Flatbush to- the other. A new church building for this congregation will make more adequate the operations and actlvitiea of the church. Those In charge of the campaign say: "The church about to be erected will mean the1 paring for the sons and daughters of the community, both in a physical and moral way.

To the man who has other church affiliation, the appeal of the Flatbush Christian Church is strong, because no one church or denomination in the community can take care of all the people of that community, and, furthermore, very few men nowadays are limiting their philanthropy to sectarian lines, for all denominations are striving for the same end." The hundred men and women Identified in the campaign are making themselves ready by putting aside social engagements and business concerns so that during the ten days named they can devote their time as far as possible to the promotion of this church project and the community solicitation of funds. The preliminary meetings held by the workers, for instruction and planning, have aroused Interest in each individual man and woman In the campaign, and all feel success awaits them. The new Christian Church is intended to be the1 most fully equipped institutional building In FlRtbush, with Its gym. nasium, rbowllng alleys, lockers, shower-baths and reading room, thus making It a seven-day church, operating days and evenings for ''the betterment of the community end to provide wholesome culture and entertainment for the young' men and women of the community, regardless of denominational affiliation."

old age by one of the most lovable of the regimental survivors of the Civil War, a one-legged veteran. The colonel looked at the memento long and silently. Then he turned away hi head and passed a hand over his eyes. "I know him one of the finest old men I ever knew," and the husklness In his voice betrayed his emotion. "We will not lose It, old friend," he said' half to himself.

"We will give this keepsake a prominent place In the museum." A few days before he had been deeply moved on receiving from Charles Teas-dale of 1164 West Fiftieth street, Cleveland, 0-, a number of relics. Teasdale was a sergeant In the Fourteenth Regiment, which was in all the big battles of the Army of the Potomac In the Civil War. During the war he had saved many interesting bits here and there. As Colonel Foote unrolled the package he came to a number of time-worn yellow old sheets. Some of these were deeds dated as long ago as 1746.

They were taker, from the court house at Spotsylvania, but one was specially wrapped up. This was a very much faded sheet on which had been written some verses. The note pinned to It by Mr. Teasdale read as follows: "We found this close to the body of a young Confederate soldier. It was wet, with the dew of the very early morning and with drops of his blood.

The darkest stains are of blood." After much labor with a magnifying glass Colonel Foote, whose mind run3 to poetry, made out the lines. They were entitled, "The Georgia Volunteers." After telling about the grief and pain of parting from the loved ones at home, of the sufferings of march and camp, and of those who had been snatched away to a sudden but glorious death, the poem bill is under consideration Represcutu- sociation, to be placed In the Fourteentu tve Hobson speech on the absolutely safe. subject of the yellow peril.

He dc- dares that woman suffrage is the real is- i sue and that Hobson stands as a rcpre- sentative of it. i Colonel Foote Iihb betn liberally complimented for having worked out thii idea of a museum, but he said last night: "1 don't deserve half of what is said to me, for I ought to have thought of this, years ago. But better late than never. It would be a shame and a disgrace to permit these relies which are so instructive to be kicked around from pillar to post, eventually In be lost, or thrown into the scrap heap.

Montague of New York In his remarks on the patent situation.

The burden of litigation that is made possible through one of tho provisions of tho bill, lie said, would give large corporations the greatest advantage over ordinary patent owners. The excuse offered for this universal proscription of patents is that patents are sometimes suppressed. Instead of preventing "suppression" of inventions, tho Oldfleld bill would really facilitate It, he declared. "If American manufacturers and inventors, whose existence is now threatened by the Oidfleld bill, will Join hands with the opponents of the bill, the patent system can be saved."

A year ago last February I noticed a few pimples with a watery head under my little son's right knee. The pimples looked very much like prickly heat and I was told they were a certain form of raih. The itching must hare been dreadful because it kept him awake all night. Be would sit up in bed and scratch till he was covered with blood, then a crust would form which caused him intense pain. Be could not bear to have any part of his clothing touch the sore part.

The only time he wore a stocking was when I took him out. The whole night long he would iVrateh and in the morning he would cry with pain. At first the sore was small, but then it spread till it covered the entire surface beneath the knee. After having tried a great many reme-dieswithout any relief I wasfairly discouraged till a friend advised me to try CuMcura Soap and Ointment. I would ba he the sore part with hot wator and Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuticura Ointment on a sof cloth and tie it aro-md his knee.
