There are some writer's to whom the capital

they are quite willing to let any man take the
credit for what they produce. We refer to the
literary ghosts who supply fiction, long or
short to the order of anybody who wants to

artist, and lacks the creative gift. Mr. Basil
ToZcr has been getting into communication with
some of these mysterious hacks, and in 1.-The

Literary journalism is going through de-
Iightful phase of activity in London just now.
Since the recent death of Lord Hardwicke the
management Of '"The Saturday Review" seems
To have felt kind of spur. 1t is making slight
changes in it's size, paper and Typography, and
is printing more articles Of a miscellaneous but
always carefully considered character. 1.-The
Outlook" has lately made important improve
ments In its material and in its form. Finally,
The Academy and Literature has been pur
chased by Sir George Newnes, and under the
much more convenient title of 1.-The Academy,
it makes to-day, with changes everywhere
visible, better appearance than it has made in
years. The editor proposes to maintain a high
standard. Abiding to the fact that the weekly
review, so long popular in England, has Suf-
fered for a time certain amount of neglect, he
explains it in part by reference to the compare
tive abandonment of anonymity adding
In the reviews published when English jour
naism at it's very best the work all
impersOnal, and the use of the capital l was for
hidden. 1t innovation to introduce
signed articles, and not only introduce signed
tiCles, but encourage the writer's Of them to be
s personal and egOtiStical was possible. No
doubt the journalists themselves try to dignity
their work by calling it impressiOnism, but it is
impreSsiOniSm run mad.
AS it happens there are several signed articles
I'm the number Of "The Academy" containing
this announcement, but this is only to say that
our modern habit of putting the capital 1 in the
foreground cannot be cured all at once We
hope the cure may not be long delayed, for the
capital 1 is working havoc in contemporary
journalism.

Awful Suffering Of Little Boy

Not One Square Inch of Skin on

"My little son, boy of FIVE, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At the
time / was induced to try Cuticara
he was SO bad that I had to cut his
hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. Hewas one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and IN removing them it used TO take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break-
ing. I began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment I
began TO see signs of improvement,
ard with the third and fourth appli-
cations the sores commenced to dry
up. His skin peeled off twenty times,
but it finally yielded TO the treatment.
Now I can say that he is entirely
cured, and a stronger and healthier
boy you never saw than he is to-day"

zone thing in connection with the
Fairgrounds movement ought TO be re-

we need a few thousand doilafs-this
is the material side of the business-but
also we need the hearty cooperation
or every citizen of the District to help
along the movement, swell its proper
ticns, make ii grow. and become a real
and efficient factor in the life OF the
District Everybody should help in the
work.
'AH should remember this: Not only
money but help Make the thing Il sue
