BABY'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
10 Think About.
Lives Of Suffering and
Sorrow AVerted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CuticuraSOap, Ointment and Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfiguring hu-.
mours Of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object of the most tender So
licitude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the designation is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty Of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool the blood in the severer
cases, are all that can be desired for the
alienation of the suffering of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
aud soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chatings,
In the form of washes for annoying
irritatiors and determinations, and for
many sanatve, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

COMMISSION MAY REFUSE
To Approve the Rock lslsnd-Cental oCn
solidauon Contract,

To Approve the Rock lslsnd-Centsl oCn-
solid5don Contract,
Austin, Texas, FcDrnary 23.The report
that the Chicago, Rock Island and Texas
railroad here contracted with the Houston
aud Texas Central TO use It's track to reach
Houston and Galveston from Fort Worth,
raises an interesting question as TO how the
road csn accomplish this or whether It
has the authority to do so under the charter
obtained for the purpose Of building this
line
1t is likely that the company will need
additional authority for devistlng from the
plan of reaching an outlet on the gulf OF
Mexico when this charter was Obtained
Those around the capitol who contend that
the Rock Island mas the right to lease the
Central for the purpose Of Ueaching Cal
Yeaton mention tine fact that the lntcrna'
tional aud Great Northern, and the Mis-
sour, Kansas and Texas terminate In ilous-
ton and run over the rails Of the Calves
ton, Houston and Henderson into Galveston
/ This Is true, but there is n contract on
| hle In the office Of the railroad commission
which permits these roads to reach Calves
! ton over this line.
1t would seem. therefore. that II the Rock
! Island contracts with the Central to use
| It's roadbed to reach Houston aud GulVes
| ton, that tnls contract viii also have to be
| approved 10y toe commission. whether tue
com mission would approve 6uch an agree
nept is OF course not Known. The commits
sion might approve the contract, aud thel
IL might turn II down The contract be
tween the lntcrna ticnal, the Katy and the
Galveston, Houston aud Henderson would
| " course be rected precedent but II
tho plan Of the Rock Island develops oppo
sitlon, those who oppose 1t would argue tina
nlethcr the International nor the Katy eve
obtained charters to build Into Galveston
never received any valuable franchises, an'
were not therefore under obligations t'
do SO.
Again. without assuming or presenting T.
sneak for the commission or attempting q
forecast what they would or would not d
in the matter. It may be said that the,
found reasons for approving the contract
. hetweeu the International, the Katy am
the Galveston. Houstou and Henderson tina
would not exist for approving n similar cor
tract between the Rock Island and III

Owing To the energetic protests mado
by Western jobners and merchants, It Is
said the Western roads win probably re-

in regard TO the proposed advance IN OK

taken at the last meeting Of the Western
Passenger association, the excess baggage
rates are 10 be advanced on March / from

For the last few days committees from
the mercantile interests Of the Western
cities, including Chicago, have called upon
the railroad managers aud appealed to
them not 20 make the advance as II would
