Skin, Scalp and Blood
Humours
Speedily Cured BY Cuteura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and 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 disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm the awful suf-
fering Of infants, and anxiety Of worm
out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and
salt rheum,-al demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully 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 evi-
dence. 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, blood purifiers and humour
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 Cuticura OiDt-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the severcst
forms Of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours Of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the hcet physs
clans fail.

FINAL OFFER MADE
TO WABASH FIREMEN
Agreement Reached Between Pres
ident Ramsey and Committee
May Be Accepted.
WILL VOTE ON PROPOSITION.
Demands of Trainmen Refused as
Regards Illinois, but Increase
May Be Granted West
ern Employees.

An agreement was reached yesterday be-
tween President Ramsey and the committee
representing the Wabash firemen. 1t Is
stated that the demands of the committee
for a change in the classification of the en-
gines and changes in certain rules were
granted, but that Il greater allowance of
transportation and other demands were re-
fused.
President Ramsey will within the next
few days issue statement of what de-
mands the Wabash will refuse and grant.
This will be submitted to a vote of the
firemen. it is said. with great probability
Of its being accepted. in which case there
will be no further conferences.
The demands of the f1remen did not in
clude the usual wage increase, but the
changes made will apply to the Wabash
system west and east of the Mississippi.
The conference between the committees
of the Wabash trainmen and conductors
and President Ramsey was adjourned until
to-day at p. IN.
1t is stated that these committees want
the wage increase granted by the st. Louis
lines to be given to all Wabash trainmen
and conductors in Illinois and west of the
Mississippi River. From an authoritative
source it is learned that President Ramsey
refuses to allow the increase granted by
the st. Louis lines Us per cent to freight
trainmen and u per cent to passenger
trainmen any increase on the ground that
the trainmen and conductors on the East
ern lines of the Wabash are getting better
wages than those on other Eastern lines.
At the same time 1t is said he is willing
to grant the trainmen and conductors on
the lines west of the Mississippi an in
crease, though not as much as was allowed
by the ST. Louis lines. claiming that as the
wabash does not extend beyond Kansas
City and Omaha the trainmen and conduct
ors do not have the same difficulties to con-
tend with as those employed on systems ex-
tending to the far West
If the Wabash grants the increase al
lowed by the Western roads to its train
men and conductors west of the Mississippi
it will increase the pay roll of the road
81 900 a month.
