BABY'S AWFUL
 ITCHING ECZEMA
Sorss All Over Face and Body Could Not Tell What She Looked Like Unable to Sleep Grew Worse Under Doctors.
CURED BY CUTICURA
 IN ONE MONTH

A grateful mother, in the following letter, tells of another of those mar vicious cures by Cuticura: "When my baby was four months old her skin broke out with humor. took her to a doctor, who said it was eczema. He gave me medicine to give her, but she kept getting worse all the time. Her little face and body were SO covered with sores and large scales you could not tell what she looked like. No child ever had a worse case. Her face was being eaten away, and even her finger nails fell of. Then it itched 60 she could pot sleep, and for many weary nights we could get no rest. At last we got Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first bathing her in warm water with the Soap, and then spreading on the Oint- ment with soft cloths. saw a change in a week. The sores began to heal, and she could sleep at night, and in one month she had not one sore on her face or body. Any mother hav- ing children with eczema or humors will find a friend in Cuticura Soap and Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Mary Sanders, 7oe Spring St., Camden, N.J., Aug. IA, 1904"
 The foregoing statement justifes the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment afford instant relief, and permit sleep for baby and rest for tired mothers, and points to . speedy, permanent, and economical cure, when all else fails, in the most torturing, disfguring, itching, burn. ing, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and pimply skin, and scalp humors.

A DISAPPOINTMENT.

If the people of Alabama expected any further light from Mir. Corners opinion last Monday dissenting from that of Messrs. Tunstan and Sanders which was rendered over two months ago they are grievously disappointed. It Is simply a repetition of his stump speeches and scarcely deals with the matters from which 1t pu-por.s to dis sent The plain truth is that 1t is a campaign document to be used for all that it may be worth in Influencing the public mind. If railroads are taxed too little in Alabama the same may be just as truthfully said of MT. Co., mer's vast posse sssions. That his pos sessions or the railroad property are taxed too little Is no argument that railroad rates arc too hish. We are disappointed in that MT.

The Chicago and Alton Railroad has receded from its irrational age-limit position. thereby showing its good sense. Some years ago 1t adopted an age limit of thirty-ive years and would have no employees over that age. Now 1t has seen the wrong of such a regulation and henceforth. we are i'm formed, at least half its men will be employed or retained without regard to age, the only consideration being their experience and fitness for their positions. It Is both a sensible and proper resolution. The idea that an employe who has grown gray in the service who is honest. faithful and re- liable, and whose experience and habits fit him for good and effective service should be thrown out for no other reason than that he has reached a cer- tain age is as absurd as 1t is unjust Other railroads should follow the good example of this one.

Mrs. RuMn's Book.

Speaking of the latest story by Mrs. M E: Henry Rufin of Mobile, the Paci- fic Commercial Advertiser, Honolulu, Hawaii, says: 50 many of the later books have been in such frivolous vein that The North star from the pen of Mrs M E. Henry-Rnfin comes as re- freshing change. The story is of an historical nature. treating of the Nor way of a thousand years ago, when the Christian missionaries first obtained foothold among the then barbarians of the far North. With King Olaf Tryg- gevesson as the central figure, his me teoric career Is woven into most in- terestfng tale, at no part of which does ones interest abate. That those were strenuous days for him who would rule, beside which the difficulties of the mod ern monarch are dwarfed into insignifi- canoe, Is very patent and even the pres ent Czar of all the Russians may con- gratulate himself that he was not born a thousand years earlier.
 The entire work evidences extended preparation and diligeat study of her subject by the author. and the fact that some schools have already adopted The North Sar' as book of reference in connection with the study of Scandina- vian history testifies to it's historical value"
 Mrs. Ruffin was Miss Mary F.. Henry of Mobile. and is woman of strong intellect, and close application with great force of character. Her Ala bama friends are rejoiced at the sue cess of her work.
