affairs of the sheriff's office for the eastern
portion of the county, is councilman for
the Third ward of Independence. Mr.. Clark

Some Of the Democrats of the Third ward

place of councilman. provided he can see
his way clear to resign the office. The du-
ties of the sheriff's office being somewhat
exacting. it was thought by some of Mr..
Clark's constituents that the proper thing
would be to resign and give the council
manic honor over TO some individual who
could devote a portion of his time to the
welfare of the ward.
Mr.. Clark was very emphatic yesterday
about the situation.

AN AWFUL SORE
"A Babes Untold Suffering
And Mothers Many
SleepIess Nights.
CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS.

herewith write out in full the beginning
and end of that terrible disease, Eczema,
which caused my babe untold suffering, and
myself many sleepless nights.
My baby was born seemingly fair, healthy
child, but when she was three weeks old
swelling appeared On the back of her head, and
in course of time broke. Every one called it
aboil, and, now it had broken, would soon heal,
but that was only the beginning of the trouble.
1t did not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of a dime to that of dol
lar. used all kinds of remedies that could
think Of but nothing seemed to help, in fact
it grew worse, her hair fell out where the sore
was and feared it would never grow again.
1t continued until my aged father came on
visit, and when he saw the baby he told me
"to get CUTICURA SOAP and CUrICURA oint-
ment right away" To please him did so,
and to my surprise. by their use the sore be-
gan to heal over, the hair grew over il, and
to-day she has 4 nice head of hair, her skin
is as fair as 4 lily, and she has no scar left 10
recall that awful sore.
CUTICURA soothes and aIlays all itching and
burning that cause.a child to fret and the
mother to worry, and gives rest and comfort
both to parent and child.
