swelling appeared on the back of her head, and
in course of time broke. Every one called it
a boil, 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 asdime 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 a
visit, and when he saw2the baby he told me
"to get CUTICURA SOAP and CUTiCURA ONT
ment right away" Togplease him did so,
and to my surprise, by their use the sore be-
gan to heal over, the hair grew over it, and

a measure on the final passage for
which he made a strong fight in the
face of determined opposition in his
own bailiwick. 1t was Fl. F. 49, re-
lating to punishment for interference
with electric wires etc. Mr.. COe be-
lieVes that such interference should be
adequately punished, and in his orig
inal bill provided big fines and long
imprisonment. On general orders this
was changed SO as to allow cases to
come within the jurisdiction of justice
courts, so that the country would bene-
fit, and to this change Is due their sup
port of the measure. Messrs. Dahl and
Stcckwell. however, could see no need
for the bill, and sought to amend or kill
It. They were met by Messrs. FeIg,
Loring and others in support, however,
and their amendments failed.
