TORTURING ECZEMA.
Editor Iowa Plain Dealer Cured of In
sufferable Itching and Pain by
the Cuticura Remedies.
No Less Than Five Physicians Consulted.
Their Combined Wisdom Fol.
lowed without Benefit.

l am sixty-six years old. In August, 1889,
was troubled with the peculiar skin disease to
which people of my age are subject known
among medical men as eczema. Its first ap-
tended over the lower extremities until my
legs were nearly one raw sore; from legs the
trouble extended across the hips, shoulders
arms greatly swollen with an itching, burning
pain, without cessation. Although the best
medical advice attainable was employed, no
less than five physicians of the place being
consulted and the prescriptions being the re-
suit OF their combined wisdom, the disease,
though apparently checked, would recur in
few days as bad as ever; during its progress my
weight fell away about twenty-five pounds.
AS an experiment began the use of CUTIcURA,
following the simple and plain instructions
given with the REMEDIES, and in four weeks
found myself we'll, with skin soft and natural
in color, the itching and pain entirely re-
ieved. W. r. MEAD,

HOW NOT TO PRUNE TREES.

Horticulturists of all classes in this
section run for the most part to one
very serious mistake in the treatment
of their trees. They trim citrus and de-
ciduous trees up to almost bare poles.
Now it seems to be reasonable that the
more nearly we conform to the dictates
of nature the better we are doing. Any
one who will study his trees will find
that the branches near the ground bear
more fruit than those near the top. The
fruit on the lower part of the tree is
easily gathered, while that at the top is
difficult to reach. And what is gained
by high trimming? The ground is ex-
posed to all changes of temperature,
superheated and baked by day and
chilled by night. The bole of the tree
is subjected to the same harsh infu-
ence; and both ground and tree are
baked, then chilled through the open
wounds made by the rays of the sun.
In so sunny cline az ours tree needs
all the shelter it can get. 1t may be
claimed that high trimming makes cul-
tivatlon more easy; but that IS not
correct. 1t makes more cultivation pos
sible, but at point where it does more
harm than good. The plow can reach
up to the very stem of a high-trimmed
tree. But it ought not to be allowed to
get there. The roots of trees should not
be disturbed. They are better let alone.
If people will not blindly follow a bad
fashion, but will stop and reflect, they
will stop cutting off the best bearing
limbs on their trees; stop cutting away
what it cost five years. time to get;
stop letting the ardent rays of semi
tropic sun in to split the bark OF the tree
and bake the ground, to be followed by
the cold night air to chill the sap and
rootlets near the surface. And this ap-
plies to all sorts of trees, citrus and de-
ciduous alike,

Some Points About the Railroad King S
Success.


Mr.. Richard G. Kerens, of the Ter
minal railway company, who is in Los
Angeles, is worlds fair commissioner
at large from Missouri. From journal
giving biographical sketches of all the
commissioners, the following facts about
the gerftleman's career are taken: He is
4S years of age. He was born in Ire
land. and was brought to this country
by his parents when he was months
old. At the outbreak of the war, he
had charge of transportation OF the
various commands to which he was at
tached, and remained until the close of
the war. He then became interested in
the overland mail postal service, and
lived on the frontier and Pacific coast
for about fifteen years. Part of this
time his home was at San Diego, which
was then the western terminus of the
Southern Overland Mail, of which he
was the principal owner, and as such
operated the same until it was super
seded by railroads. After that he be-
came interested in railroads, and is in
that business now.
He has been resident of St. Louis
for twelve years, and occupies a mag
nificent home in Vandeventer place, in
the wealthiest part of the city. When
in the city he divides his time between
the offices of the Western Anthracite
Coal company, of which he is president,
and the headquarters of the st. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas railroad, of which
he is vice-president.

News Notes of Interest From the
Seaside.
The past week has been delightful
one in every respect, and the number Of
our daily visitors more numerous
than for many months. Saturday they
came down in large numbers and were
amply repaid for their trouble. The
soft, balmy atmosphere, cool and re-
freshing surf and the melody of the
song birds on plain and foothills made
the day red letter one to all, who were
fortunate enough to spend the day here.
The houses are fast being taken by the
usual summer visitant, and all signs
point toward most successful season.
The facts are that there are very few
cottages vacant at present.
ALI the eligible positions on the beach
are being taken, and numerous new
buildings are in course of erection, many
more being contemplated. Among those
already under way are a residence for
E. Canston, on Nevada avenue, between
Third and Fourth streets, several cot
tages on the beach, a summer garden on
the corner of Ocean and Utah avenues.
Besides these f. G. Ryan, of Anaheim,
will shortly commence the erection of a
residence on Fourth street, between
Nevada and California avenues, and
Frederick HI. Ringe, of Boston, who
will build for his family palatial resi-
dence on the corner of Ocean and Ne
vada avenues.
Santa Monica is to be congratulated
upon having Mr.. Ringe cast his lot
among as. He is one of the most pro-
gressive citizens of his eastern home,
Cambridge, where every one in the en-
tire community bless the very mention
of the name. May the leaven which
his coming will bring to our midst
result in much good to the entire COM
