getting worse until we could not dress

me to try q certain medical college, but
Ito treatment did not do any good. AT
the time I was induced to try Cnticura
Remedies he was so bad that ] had to
cut his hair or and put the Cuticura
Ointment on him on bandages, rs 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not n square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was not
affected. He was one mass Of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing them 1t used TO take
the skin of with them, and the creams
from the poor child were heart-break-

never get well, but after tho second

began to zee signs Of Improvement,

ORDERS SOLICITED

But the work Of completing the can
vas has dragged along too long al
ready.
The project has languished for
months In an uncertain stage.
The goal Is almost reached and a
prompt response from those who have
aot vet subscribed will complete the
fund
A number Of business men who
have already subscribed literally, and
who appreciate keenly that the failure
of the project at this stage would be
| disastrous to the best interests OF the
city, have indicated their willingness
to increase their gifts in order to COM
plete the fund.
It ~ hoped that every citizen who
has the welfare Of the community at
heart, who has not vet pledged his
substantial support will do so at once
when called upon.
The management feels, too, that
this Is an %opportune time to push
the work. since II was able to secure
for a few days the services Of one
of the most successful secretaries,
who has given much Of his time to
k~fnances, Mr.. L. B. Mumma OF Ohio,
more recently representing the Cali
fornia state committee.
Surely Las Vegas and her young
men are worthy OF the beneficient
work the Young Mems Christian as.
ISOLATION seeks TO do. Hundreds Of
cities this size and smaller are,
through their associations, doing a
splendid work for men. Why not Las
Vegas?

will be met with generous response

An Extra Pair OF Lunus.

Il have known aged people, men
past so, TO take their cold baths
every morning and be as spry as you
please" says Eugene Wood in Every
body's Magazine. "One old fellow used
to toddle down to the beach when he
had to wade bare-legged through the
snow two or three blocks. 1t carried
him off at the last, though, for he
died Just about four weeks before he
was 81. And if those of low vitality
who ought to take the chill off the
bath were to take it ice-cold and
rub themselves like sixty afterward
| don't think their vitality would be

purified by practically adding another

would soon be as clipper as anybody"

a soprano voice Of excellent range and

What cron Cash Would Do.

Instead of spending over fourteen
hundred millions OF dollars for liqui Z
poison, says Silss G. Swallow, candf
date of the Prohibition party. in the
North American Review, If this enor
nous sum had been spent in the pur
chase of shoes for the millions of bare
feet; for hats with which to cover
hitherto hatless heads; for cotton anc
wooden goods to take the place of the
rags and tatters in which the denizens
of the slums are everywhere arrayed !;
for carpets to cover the bare floors OF
the tenement districts; for tables
and chairs, and stoves, and bedding
and food, all of which would have sc
greatly ministered to the physical
comfort, the intellectual growth, and
the spiritual uplift of the submerged
classes; every factory would now be
running in full time, new factories
would be in process of building; rail
roads would be stretching out theiI
iron arms to communities hitherto I'm.
familiar with the music of the loco
motives whistle; and such an era OF
prosperity would be dawning upon
this land as the world never dream I'd
OF before.
