ITCHING ECZEMA
And Other Itching, Burning and
SCaly ETlpt0lS.
Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure Afforded by
CltiGlra Soap, Ointment and Pills
When All Elise Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, Sl.OO.

The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, as in eczema; the frightfui
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants and the anxiety of
WORKOUT parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rkeum, all demand rem
edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and hunour remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle- Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cutieura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the seyerer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfiguring and humiliating skin. scalp
and blood humours, with loss e hair,
when all else fails.

DECISION Of unusual interest to
n newspapers. and OF almost equal
interest to the public, has Just been
handed down by the Texas court OF
criminal appeals. In a criminal pro-
{ ceeding in Houston the district judge
ordered the Chronicle of that city not
to publish any reports OF the testimony
presented. He based. this unprecedent-
ed order on The theory that there might
be a mistrial and the publication of the
testimony would. in such an event,
make it extremely difficult TO secure an
| other jury.
In spite of the injunction the Chron-
icle published full reports of the trial
The editor of the paper and the court
reporter were promptly jailed for con-
tempt Of court. After short imprison-
ment they were released on writs of
habeas corpus, and the case was ap-
pealed to the court of criminal appeals
in order to ascertain the status Of
Texas newspapers with regard to Grim
| inal trials.
That court reverses the district judge
| and lays down the broad principle that
vent the publication of testimony which
is given in open court That is, any
| thing which is fit for spectators to hear
is fit for the public to read. The prin-
ciple is a thoroughly sound one. IN
der 1t the rights of the public as we'll
as of the newspapers of Texas will be
protected.
Any court proceeding is public prop
erty the moment it becomes a court
proceeding. There are cases, of course,
in which the evidence is unfit for publ
cation or for anybody except those i'm
mediately interested to hear. In such
cases, though, the papers themselves
may be depended upon to eliminate the
fit for the unfit. Even should they de-
sire to publish Objectionable matter the
postal regulations are sufficiently rigid
to restrain them.
Texas and Louisiana are about the
only states in which district judges
have made any effort to exercise a CEN
sorship over the newspapers. The de-
cision quoted viii have the effect of
opening the columns of the Texas press
to all sorts of court proceedings, and
Louisiana may be expected to see the
light within a short time. The Herald
is glad, both for the sake of the public
and Of the newspapers, that the Texas
barrier has been raised.
Here in Utah court proceedings have
always been looked upon. as privileged.
Attempts have been made by officials
to suppress matters of record and these
attempts have in some instances been
successful. but the courts have never
connived in it. The people are entitled
to the court news. and the newspapers
are entitled to it,

VALUE OF TENDERS,

7 HAT IT Is GOOD BUSINESS policy
for a transportation company to
equip it's rolling stock with the latest
life-saving devices, has been demon
strated by the Consolidated Railway &
Power company of Salt Lake City. This
company, after a careful investigation
as to the efficacy of various tenders,
equipped its cars with the most mod
ern device of the kind that could be
purchased. During the existence of the
corporation there had been a number
of accidents, nearly all resulting in
damage suits. which tenders might
have prevented.
On Monday the first real test of a
fender was made. To the fact that a
Warm Springs car was so equipped,
Mail Carrier L. A. Houghton unques-
tionably owes bis life, and the company
will escape a damage suit which, eithec
with or without nerit--for juries are
fond Of giving judgments against cor
porations-would have been expensive.
Mr. Houghton. in avoiding one car,
stepped directly in front of another
which was travelling at a moderate
speed.
The front, or trigger, fender struck
him and knocked him down. Then the
lower fender. which looks like lat
ticed scoop, dropped automatically ana
picked him up. SO slight were Mr..
Houghton's injuries that he was able
to proceed Immediately with the de-
livery of his mail matter. II the car
had been without a fender there IS lit
tie doubt that he would have been in
stantlY killed.
The Herald congratulates both the
company and Mr.. Houghton on the
thorough success Of this involuntary
test. Through it the fender has DEM
onstrated its practical ility. Critics
who have said that the tenders would
not work at the crucial moment will
now be ssilenced and it should be prac-
tically impossible for any man, woman
or child to be seriously hurt through
being struck by one of these fender
equipped cars
There is another side to this fender
matter which is distinct and apart
from the business consideration. That
Is the regard for human life which
the officials have shown. Money can
not compensate wife for the loss of
her husband. a mother for the loss OF
her son. The cost or the tenders has
been more than justified in the one
case of Houghton. and it will be JUS
titled again and again in the months
to come.

"FussY" TO THE RESCUE.

II HE SALT LAKE Ministerial as
ISOLATION, Clarence z. Allen and
others who are extremely anxious to
keep Apostle Reed Smoot out of the
seat in the United States senate TO
which an admiring constituency has
elected him. will please retire to spot
remote from the amen corner and si1k
gracefully upon a bench. If there was
ever any doubt about the admission
OF Apostle Smoot to what some people
have seriously called "the greatest law
making body in the world" 1t has van
ished like an iridescent dream, like a
thief in the night or whatsoever you
please to call it.
Pussy Jimmy Anderson has gone
to Washington with Senator-elec-
Smoot. If that doesn't settle the Smoot
case on the affirmative side we doI't
know any power on earth that can set
tie it. Isn't Pussy the greatest man
in the state of Utah? Could the gov
eminent of this mountain common
wealth be conducted without him? We
trow not. Pussy is not merely the
prize pumpkin; he's the whole yege-
table exhibit. Doesn't he run the county
commissioners? Isn't he wet nurse 70
the Utah legislature? Didn't he man
age Apostle Shoots senatorial cam
paign?
To all of these questions we must an
swer. he does, and he is, and he did.
What would our little world be with
out Jamesey? Alas, it would be a
blank. voidsoIne Nervousness, too sor-
rOwsome for conversation. The state,
the county. the city and all the couh-
ties and cities and all the wards and
voting districts are in the hands of this
grand little gentleman with the pale
blue eyes and the plaster of hair that
accentuates. rather than conceals, the
almost pathetic balditude of his cram
ium.
Pussy" is snatching a little time
away from his multitudinous duties at
home and he is going TO spend it in
Washington giving Instructions TO
President T. Roosevelt and the sem
ate of the United States regarding his
friend. R. Smoot. Will the president
and the senate listen to the counsel
of this wise man from the west? Wen,
viii the modest daisy raise her head to
receive the smiling kisses of the sun /?
VIII the-but this is absurd. OF course,
the president and the senate will do
exactly as Pussy tells them to do.
They'll meet him at the station, per-
haps a little way Gown the ROAD. and
there'll be an awful struggle as to
who shall have the honor of enter
tanning him. The president will want
him at the White House, every senator
will want him under his senatorial roof
tree and the bitterest jealousies and
heartburnings will be created unless
James turns all OF them down and
puts ND at some nice little dollar-a-day
hotel, which is probably what he win
do.
Verify. the Smoot question may be
regarded as settled. Pussy" will sim
ply tell the senators what they have
to do and then sit back and watch
them fall over one another doing it.

WATERS UNDER THE EARTH.

Sc IL THAT is IN the heavens
II above, the earth beneath and the
waters under the EARTH To most peo-
pie there isn't much significance in the
expression, 'the waters under the
earth because few of them are aware
of the fact that all the water on the
earth's surface is but a drop com
pared with the amount stored away in
subterranean reservoirs. The United
States geological survey has recently
published paper by Professor Charles
s. Slichter on this subject
He estimates that the amount of wa
ter in the earth, that is, under the
surface. would aggregate the stupen-
dous total of 565.OOO million mil
lion cubic yards. 1t is almost i'm
possible for the mind to grasp
such a figure. Written out, $685.
900, 900 900. OOO, 600. it is equally in
conceivable. A faint idea of the
amount of water this means may be
had from the statement that if it were
all pumped out and turned loose on
the world the surface of the earth
would be covered to depth of from
5000 to $500 feet.
With such a reservoir as that even
Salt Lake City would be beyond the
fear of a water famine for at least a
few months, although doubtless a few
prominent citizens would insist that
we ought to prepare at once for fu-
ture needs. Professor Slichter says
that the popular theory that most of
the underground water is contained in
subterranean rivers is erroneous. Such
streams, he declares, are comparative
ly rare, although a few, such as the
river in the Mammoth cave of Ken
lucky and other similar caves. are
known to exist.
Professor Slichter bases his estima te
of the amount of water under the
earth upon the superstition that the
average depth to which water can
penetrate beneath the surface is six
miles below the land and five miles
below the ocean floor: Water IS con-
tinually going down into the earth.
No bed is sufficiently solid to resist
it. 1t goes through sand, gravel and
even through the hardest granite. per-
colating a little at time until it
reaches its lowest possible depth
And the great bodies Of water are
continually in motion. 1t is estimated
that they travel at the rate of a frac-
ton of a mile year and are often
so accessible as to be Of great eco
nomic importance.
