Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure Afforded by
CUiCITa Soap, Ointment and Pills
When All Elise Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, SI.OO.

The agonizing itching aud burning Of
the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
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-
fcring of infants and the anxiety of
worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand a 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 hu-nour 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, end apply Cuticura Oint-
inent freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, In the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturinE,
disfiguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss of hair,
when all else fails.

senrs Defends Bill.
Sears Of Burt declared that nobody
could honestly say that II the provisions
Of this revenue bill were adequately en-,
forced they would Cypress any taxpayer.
He also declared that If the present law
was enforced IL would produce an ample
volume Of taxes. He took occasion to say
he was not representing any railroad. He
was sure the revenue bill would be fair
to all.
Nelson OF Douglas here asked Sears II
there was a guarantee in this bill that
railroad property would be taxed at it's
full cash value.
Sears claimed that the bill did contain
this guaranty. He said II there was any
way railroads could escape taxation under
the bill, he didn't know Of it.
Nelson wanted TO know why the rail-
roads were so industriously supporting this
bill II 1t was going to ompel the,h to
pay their just proportion Of taxes.
Gilbert Of Douglas asked Sears II II
would not be easier for the state board to
do right in determining the value Of prop
erty under the Caldwell amendment than
the revenue bill. Sears thought not.
Perry interposed the suggestion that the
Caldwell amendment would compel the
railroads to do right, and for that reason
was better than the bill.
Ffshback of Clay wanted all the farmers
to vote for the Caldwell amendment. as Il
would equalize taxes. He did not want the
farmers TO let the lawyers hoodwink them
or the railroads throw dust in their eyes.
A motion by s~purlock Of Cass, that the

The difficulty the Rhode Island COM
pany is experiencing. owing to the large
number of cases brought against II. was
today stated TO Judge Dubois by Henry
w. Hayes. ESQ. its senior counsel. Mr..
Hayes made a decidedly novel PROPOSE
ton.
Irving Champlin, counsel for the plain
tin in the case of Louise Dyson VS.. the
Rhode Island company. which Is in the
appellate division on defendants petition
for a new trial, wanted the new trial Pc
tition set down for a hearing at an early
day In October.
Mr.. Hayes opposed Mr.. Champlin's idea
OF an early assignment. and stated to the
court that the Rhode Island company had
at least two cases assigned every day
from now until the last of January. he
wanted the judges OF the two divisions OF
the court to confer, so that the Rhode
Island company might not be compelled
to have any petition for new trials as
signed in the appellate division on days
that the company might have two or
moro cases assigned for trial in the COM
mon pleas division.
Mr.. Champlin replied that when Mr..
Baker was in charge OF the Rhode Island
company's cases there was no trouble
over cases I'm the appellate division. Mr..
Champlin urged that the case might be
assigned as he had requested and also
said Judge Blodgett had reaffirmed his
ruling OF some time ago that the Rhode
Island company could be forced to assign
but two cases a day.
Mr.. Hayes said while IL would not he
becoming for him to criticise the conduct
OF cases before he had charge of the
Rhode Island company's legal affairs he
could not believe the troubles that led to a
petition to the court were forgotten. The
assigning OF rhany cases on the same day
was not a success. Mr. Hayes declared.
Judge Dubois said he would take The
matter under consideration and would
consult the other judges.
Mr.. Champlin said he would like II II
was possible to get an early date 20 have
the hearing on october 18th. Mr.. Hayes
could not say as TO this or any other day.
