BABY'S FACE
MASS OF SORES
Ears Looked as if They Would Drop
Off Body Entirely Covered with
Humor Three Doctors Could
Not Cure--ChiId Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. GeorgeJ. Steese, of 7oI Coburn
ST., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing. disfiguring skin
huInors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
after physicians, and ell else had
failed: 81 feel it my duty TO parents
OF other poor suffering babies 10 tell
you what Cuticura has done for nv
little daughter. She broke out all
e her body with a huinor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was n mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away her ears
looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before 1 had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as a newborn babes.
I would not be without it again if it
costfve dollars, instead of scventy-fve
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever"

At Rockford, Essex, Engiand, the
whisper court is a strange observance
held annually under the superintend-
ence of the steward of the manor. The
business of the court is carried out at
midnight in the open air. The absence
Of a tenant is punishable by fine OF
double his rent for each hour he fails
to be I'm attendance. No artificial light,
except a firebrand, is permitted. and
the proceedings are recorded by means
Of one Of the embers Of the brand. The
roll of fourteen tenants is then called
over and answered 10 in a whisper, and
then they kneel down and swear al
legiance. Very many years ago the
lord of the manor. after an absence
from his estate, was returning home
by night On the way he accidentally
hUUl some OF his discontinued ten
81 plotting his assassination. Thus
warned, he returned home by an unex-
pected route. Then he ordered that
each year his tenants should assemble
at the same time to do him homage
around post which he erected on the
spot where the plot.ers met.

There Is food for reflection on the
part oi those WHO believe that public
ownership can solve municipal prob
lens aud remove state burdens, in the
experience OF Canada with govern
ment railway line, the details of
which have just been given To the do
mInion press. The Intercolonial rail-
way. owned and operated by the do
minion government, is one OF the best
built and best equipped railways on
this continent. 1t has at its command
the traffic Of almost every leading
business center IN Novia Scotia and
New Brunswick, including the i'm
portant cities Of Halifax, st. John,
Sydney, and others. And yet last year
the government had to contribute in
excess OF a million dollars to meet de
ficlencies in operating expenses aud
necessary repairs. This year the ex-
cess OF expenses over earnings will be
mere than a million and a half dollars.
1t is declared by leading Canadian
papers that If the intercolonio rail
road, with its superior equipment and
favorable opportunities. was managed
by stockholding organization it
would be OF far more value to Canada
in business way and would be a
source Of profit rather than burden
the dominion treasury.
