BABY'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
to Think About.
Lives Of Suffering and
Sorrow Averted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CuticuraSoap. Ointment land Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfguring 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 disfguration Is TO be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence 1t becomes the duty Of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
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 WORKOUT parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, FOR pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp Of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chafings,
In the form of washes for annoying
irritatiops and infiammations, and for
many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

JAMES e. WATSON IN TOWN.


Representative James L. Watson, of
Rushville, was in the city a few hours
yesterday and was at the Columbia Club
at luncheon with James III. Jones, post
master of New Castle. Representative
Watson was here to look after some bust
ness matters, but he found time to call on
Senator Fairbanks and on several of the
state officers.
Mr. Watson says he Is so busy practic-
ing law at present that he has not had time
to think of political matters consequently
he was not inclined to discuss the prob
ability of his being appointed to the posi-
ton on the ways and means committee
made vacant by the retirement of Major
Steele. former representative from the
Eleventh district. Mr.. Watson's friends are
urging him for the place and they believe
he will get IT, Representative Cannon of
Illinois, who will be the speaker and will
have the appointment at his disposal. and
Mr.. Watson have been especially close
political and personal friends for years,
having frequently stumped each others
districts In campaign times The claims
of Representative Overstreet of this dis
trict, are also being pushed for this COM
mittee assignment and the place will un-
doubtedly go either to him or to Mr. Wat
son, although several other States are
after IL.

Contractors Submit Offer.

The local contractors made proposition
to the Bricklayers' Union committee yes
terday which was thought would have
ended the strike of the masons which has
now progressed for two weeks. The con-
tractors proposed wages of SIS cents an
hour and agreed to several disputed clauses
in the demand made by the union. The
bricklayer committee of bricklayers reject
ed the offer. but said the matter would be
discussed at a meeting held last night.
At the meeting last night the bricklayers
talked over the situation and may have a
proposition to make to the contractors to-
day, although nothing of the proceedings
of the meeting was made public and no an
nouncement made by the officers of the
union. The outlook for an end to the strike
is becoming more hopeful. and it is possible
that the brfcklayers will return to work
at the five-cent increase offered them by
the contractors, providing several objec-
tionable features of their work are re-
moved by the contractors.

FIRST VISIT TO AMERICA.
Joseph Van HissenhOven, of Antwerp,
Belgium, I'm the City.

Belgium, In the lily.
Joseph Van Hissenhoven, representing the
Compton Commercial Anversois, of An
twerp, Belgium, was at the Denison yes
terday. Mr.. Van Hssenhoven's firm is one
of the largest commission houses of Europe.
The company exports largely from this
country all kinds of grain and produce, and
Mr. Van Hissenhoven is here to visit Amer
lean commission firms with which his house
deals, and to make arrangements for ex-
tending the business. He went first to Liv-
erpool 70 visit three large commission
houses there, and came thence to New
York. landing early in March.
From New York Mr. Van Hissenhoven
went to Philadelphia, Washington and Bal
timore, and then down to New Orleans and
Galveston. Coming north, he visited Kan
sas City. Omaha and st. Louis. coming
from the latter city to indianapolis yester-
day. Last night he left for Chicago, and
will go from there to Duluth and thence to
Winnipeg. En- route East he will visit
Buffalo. Niagara Falls and Montreal before
going to New York TO sail for Liverpool
again. In all he will spend two months in
this country, and as his itinerary shows,
he will see a large part of 1t.
My company has never sent a represent
alive to the United States before" said
Mr.. Van Hissenhoven last evening. I'm
deed, the Antwerp business establishments,
even though they are large exporters from
your country, very seldom send represent
atives over here, for the reason that we
have so few men who speak English. Now.
you Americans never hesitate to come to
Europe because you cannot speak the con-
tinental languages. An American visits
Europe and seems to take it for granted
that he will get along all right without the
slightest knowledge of French or German.
q does. il a
who could not speak English would have
very hard time over here. / have not
met more than two three Americans
with whom / could converse in German or
French. Fortunately / speak English
rather we'll hope-but that is because my
mother Is an English woman.
II am delighted with America and espe-
cially with the Americans. OF course, the
parts of the country L have visited so far
do not offer much In the way of scenery,
but the people-they are delightful. They
are 30 alert, so progressive and so cour-
teous. In New York | found that the peo-
find time to talk business, but in the other
cities / have visited l have been so cour-
teousy received that l regret my stay
is to be so short.
indianapolis is beautiful city and the
thing that impresses me most Is that the
especially, and I'm some of the other cities
| have visited the pavements are bad and
the streets terrible"
Mr.. Van HiSsenhoven was especially in
terested in the newspaper reports that the
wheat crop gives promise of being one of
Wheat is our principal export" he said,

get an abundance of it at reasonable
prices
