Writes Mother.

az herewith write out In full the be-

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 q swelling appeared on the
back of her head. and in course Of time
broke. It did not heal but grew worse.
and the sore spread from the size of .
dime to that Of . dollar. I used all
kinds Of remedies that I could think Of,
but nothing seemed to help; In fact, 1t
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared 1t would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged
father came on q visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
ITO please him ! did 80, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began TO
heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and
to-day she has nice head Of hair, her
skin Il as fair as q lily, and she has no
scar left TO recall that awful sore, and
1t IL over eight months and NO sign OF
its returning"

TELEGRAPH COMPANIES
PROPOSE NEW ORDINANCE.
Western Union and Postal WOuid
Place Wires Under Ground On
Certain Conditions.

h The Western Union and Postal tele-
graph companies presented a proposed
city ordinance to the Board of Public
improvements at its meeting yesterday,
which provides for the placing OF their
wires underground. on conditions other
than those contained IN the keyes ordi-
nance. which was passed in 1896. order
ing all teleg, aph. telephone, and light
ing companies to put their wires under
ground. The proposed ordinance grants
the companies the privilege OF placing
their wires underground with no further
tax than furnishing one duct in the con-
duit for the use Of the city.
When the Keys ordinance was passed.
all wire-using companies in the city
obeyed the order except the Western
Union and Postal. and they objected on
the ground that per cent Of their gross
earnings was too large a taxation. Since
then their wires have remained overhead.
In March, 1903. another ordinance was
passed ordering the two delinquent COM
panies to comply with the Keyes ordi-
nance. and Kiving them one year In which
to place their wires underground. The
time expired last March. but no action
had been taken toward obeying the ordi-
nance.
The district in which the wires shall
be underground il from Wash TO Spruce
streets. and from the river to Twenty
second streets. The proposed ordinance
