HEAD SOLID SORE
Awful Suffering Of Baby and
Sleepless Nights of
Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar
to Recall Awful Sore
Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be-
ginning aud end of that terrible disease.
eczema, which caused my babe untold
suffering and myself many sleepless
nights.
"My babe was born seemingly fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old a swelling appeared on the
back of her head, and ineourse of time
broke. 1t did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size of q
dime to that of a dollar. I used all
kinds of remedies that could think of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared it would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged
father came on visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti--
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
ITO please him did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has q nice head Of hair, her
skin is as fair IS 3 lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign of
its returning"
Mrs. WIN. RYER, Elk River, MINI.
ssCure permanent" So writes Mrs.
Ryer, Feb. %, 1903, six years later:
"Your letter of the 18th inst. received,
asking In regard to the cure of my baby
some six years ago. Well, the disease
has never returned to her head which at
that time was solid sore on top and
down the back. Once or twice since
then a patch has come on her hand near
the wrist, but it finally disappeared
after proper treatment with Cuticura."

COMMISSIONER Views Of Two Rail-
way Extensions Into District

In reporting to Congress on the bill to
authorize the Washington and Marlboro
Electric Railway Company of Maryland to
extend its line of road into and within the
District, the Commissioners decline to rec
commend either the passage of the bill or
to advise adverse action on it, but state
that their views with reference to the pro-
pc sed extension Of the Great Falls and Old
Dominion railroad apply equally well to the
case of the Washington and Marlboro
railroad.
In comm enting upon the proposed extern
sion the Commissioners say:
This railway company was authorized 70

lions that the latter has already right 70

Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad
Company to enter the District of Columbia.
The facts therein stated would apply equal

ritory proposed to be traversed peing tne
same. The views of the Commissioners as
expressed therein also apply to this rail-
road. .,. In
