CAME NEAR DYING
From an Awful Skin HumouF.
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Wasted to Skeleton.
CURED BY cUTIcURA
One Application Soothed Him to
Sleep. Cure Speedy
and Permanent.

when my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with q
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable watery fluid. We tried every
thing we could, but he got worse all the
time till 1t spread to his arms, legs, and
then TO his entire body, and he got so
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch SO that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and q thin yellowish STUFF
would be all over his pillow in the morn
ing. had to put mittens on his hands
to keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got so weak and run
down that he took fainting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al
most q skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
HE was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I
had not laid him down in his cradle in
the daytime for a long time. He had
got so that he just slept in our arms all
the time. washed him with Cuticura
Soap and put on one application of
Cuticura Ointment and he was so
soothed that 1 put him in the cradle.
You don't know how glad felt when he
felt better. 1t took one box or Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, and about half bottle of
Cuticura Resolvent, to cure. 1 think
our little boy would have died only for
the Cuticura Remedies, and 1 shall al
ways remain q firm friend of them"
Mrs. NJ. C. MAITLAND, JASPER,

No return In II years. Mrs. Maitland
writes, under date Of Feb. "a, 1908, that
the cure Is permanent.
It affords me much pleasure to in
form you that it is fourteen years since
my boy was cured of the terrible skin
disease from which he suffered.

Pollock of the United States district
court; H. U. Nudge. general manager.
and Robert Dunlap, general attorney,
of the Santa Fe.
Reynolds, who has promised to pro-
nounce the invocation at the Com
mercial club banquet tonight, to sign
petition to the club requesting it to
pledge to absent himself from all
public functions at which liquor is
served, was the cause of a lively de-
bate at the meeting of the thirty-first
district w. c. 7. U. The matter was
brought up by DR.. Fannie ]. Henry
president of the Young Peoples
Christian Temperance union of Kansas
City, which organization recently re-
quested the Commercial club to bar
liquor from its meetings, banquets and
special trains. The request was ig-
nored, but the developments show that
the union has not let the matter drop.
DR.. Henry urged the w. c. T. U. to
join with her in a final effort to per-
suade the Rev. Mr.. Reynolds to refuse
to pronounce the invocation at the
banquet tonight. She read a copy of
letter that had been sent to every
minister in the city.
About 100 ministers and officers of
religious organizations signed the let
ter and about forty-Six church con-
gregauons Endorsed it, but Mr.. Rey-
noldS and his church were not among
them. DR.. Henry said Mr.. REYNOLDS
refused to sign the petition or give
the desired pledge, but gave no rea-
SON. She then moved that a commit
tee of four members of the w. c. T.
U. be appointed to call on Dr. Rev
nolds for an explanation of his action
Upon the first vote the motion carried
but number of the members did not
vote. This called forth a discussion
which resulted in a second vote when
the motion was lost
DR.. Henry said that Secretary Glen
den1ng, to whom the petition was adj
dressed, replied that "the province of
the Commercial club is to look after
the financial interests of the CITY. and
does not undertake to dictate its
I'VE then asked the club for
a nearing, said DR.. Henry "but met
with a positive REFUSAL

Twice in previous years the Com
merclal club has invited me to pro-
nounce the invocation, but previous
engagements prevented. This wear I
was able to accept the invitation.

and L am heartily in sympathy with
every movement to lessen the evil of
lntemperanee. If l thought it would
nave the least injurious effect upon
the cause of temperance L certainly
would not attend the banquet or pro
nouEce the invocation. I cannot dis
cuss my reasons for refusing to sign
the petition, and have nothing to saw
Tor or against the proposition"

haVdlll, MOuG., MAI. 20, ISUf.
Editor of Herald, Inclose find
remittance on subscription, and per-
nit me to say that we look forward
to received the Herald as a letter
from friend.
I wish to say a few words to some
of our friends who thought we were
so foolish to go west. Our home is
situated in the Northwestern part OF
this state, west of the Rocky noun
tains and we'll protected by them
in Missoula Co., and on the Flathead
Indian reservation. These Indians are
fine clever fellows to all who treat them
we'll, and we have no reasons to com.
plain of them. Mr.. Prideaux is sc
we'll liked by them. that quite mum.
Der of them came to him for advice and
to hold council with him when they
are in trouble. The part breeds are
chiefly French and Indian, and two
thirds of them speak three languages
French, Indian and English. l can
never forget the first summer spent
on this reserve, as it was, show to
me from beginning to end. First an

braided in two long braids hanging

CLEAN UPl CLEAN UPl

The sun is getting up earlier nova
days, and is searching out our
streets and premises. How much
more dismal a neglected place looks
in the bright light of spring day
than in the dark, gloomy days of
winter.
The sun seems to stir the blood
in our veins as it stirs the sap in
the trees. There is an impulse to
action. Let us clean up and set
about improvements. Let us make
beautiful and glad our streets.
There are some ramshackle old
wooden shells of houses still stand
ing on some of our principal streets
Some improvements have been
begun, but there is room for much
more. Let us be rid of those eye
sores. In certain quite prominent
streets, there are windows SO much
in need of washing that passerby
would have difficulty to decide
whether the place was feed store,
a grocery, or a confectionery.
Clean up your yards and make
your garden. If you have not a
yard, get window box, or at least
get a plant for your window. If
you have no place to brighten, see
what you can do to aid some one
else in making more cheerfulness.
If each one of us does what he can
we shall have the cleanest, brightest
and most delightful city in the
world.
Then, if the villages of the state,
and the isolated country homes, are
made attractive, even those on
remote crossroads and unfrequented
places, Wisconsin may stand first
of all states in beauty. If living in
lonely and desolate regions all the
more is it necessary to cultivate
beauty. The humblest home can
be made charming by being clean
orderly, and a little pains taken
with flowers, vines, shrubbery and
trees.
In planting your country homes
do not be too methodical. Do not
plant by rules of geometry. Study
nature. Art working with nature
has best effects
Wherever you are, whatever il
may be, do something to make
brighter, more glad and attractive
your surroundings.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1904-04-06

There is an element of selfshness
in this world that lowers the
standard of humanity; and would
cut off from others the blessings we
enjoy. 1t reminds us of the old
mans prayer, in which, after recit-
ing the names Of his family, he
wound up by asking The Lord to
''bless us four and no more" Prob
ably the same spirit has always
prevailed, but of later years it
seems to stand out more prominent
ly than ever. The little petty
jealousies that would drag one down
to build another up are the course
of every day life. Take a look
backward in your own life, and the
little things done to make others
happy are very pleasant memories,
while the mean acts come up like
accusing spirits and make one wish
to push them as far out of sight as
possible.

| I have made an examination of the
Beavers r. f. F. and of the plan ofinsurance
which is covered by it's policies, and the
result of my examination has been highly
satisfactory to me. In my opinion this
society gives it's members insurance which
is sure, reliable, modern in all it's features,
and which is withal, cheap and easily within
the reach of the average man of moderate
means. I especially like the annuity benefit
feature provided by it's policies l have
never been an advocate of fraternal insur-
ance; in fact my ideas and learnings have
always been opposed to this class OF insur-
ance. Nevertheless l have taken out the
limit of protective insurance obtainable in
the Beavers Fraternity $4,000 and am well
pleased with my purchase. Furthermore L
am pleased to say | am well acquainted with
District Deputies Peterson and Matteson
and can and do recommend them as upright
straightforward and gentlemanly in all
particulars H. G. CLARK.
