Little Girls Obstinate Case of
Eczema - Instantaneous Relief

Mother Says;
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter I write YOU
nay experience, and you are privileged
70 use il as you see fit. Last wear,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case Of eczema, / resorted to the
CuticUra Remedies, and vas so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tlrely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and CuticuTa Pills. When
We commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
In July Of this year a little boy IN
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were q mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
CutlCura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the CuticuTa Soap. and
anOinted them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
ResOlYent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so We have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. ne find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where

DEATH Of BURDEN
RECALLS QUARREL
Millionaire Brother Who De-
manded Share of
Fortune.

NEW YORK. Sept 24.-While arrange
ments are being made today for the bur
lal Of James AmbeTcrombie Burden,
whose body lies at his mansion, Gus Fifth
avenue social and business friends Of
the dead millionaire recall the quarrel
of twenty years standing between him
and his surviving brother, I. Townsend
Burden. that was patched up only three
years ago. The quarrel started over
royalties Of $50. 900 paid to James A. Bur
den on a machine for making horse
shoes. invented by his father. the late
Henry Burden.
The legal battle was of the bitterest.
The brothers did not speak 10 each other
during all the period and finally a com
promise was arranged. after the litiga-
ton had reached such proportions that
IL involved the possession of the entire
Sl0.000.000 plant at Troy.
James \ Burden was born at Troy,
January g. 1885. and was educated IN the
Sheffield scientific school at Yale and In
the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute,
becoming q practical millwright ana
engineer. He was at first foreman Of
his fathers works and later president

FOREIGN TRADE PASSES
THREE BILLION MARK
Less Foodstufs Exported, But All Kinds of Manufac-
tured Goods Show Large Gains Over
Previous Years Since 1893

Total foreign trade OF the United
States-imports and exports added to-
gether-have Just crossed the three
billion dollar mark. The year ending
with August is the first in which this
figure was attained.
Foreign trade has passed various
milestones in this order: 1895. $3.50, 900. -
600; 1856, $5O0.OOO.OOO; 1872. $1,000 O00. 600:
1880. $1.5O0 COO coo; 1900, 5000 OO0. 900; 1906
s. 200 OO0O COO
Three years ago nobody in America
would have dreamed that such a thing
as breaking August records Of exports
would be possible this year, because ev-
eTybody supposed at that kime that
American exports or food products were
doomed 10 a tremendous falling of. The
foreign trade in meat was right on the
verge OF isappearance-the pessimist
said. Every month since then the crash
has been postponed. In August jusI
passed for instance, meat sales abroad
were much larger IN every item except
canned beef. Breadstuffs made a big
gain as compared with the two years
Immediately preceding: but. taking a
The Washington times., 1906-09-24

survey Of considerable period, it is
shown that the tendency is toward re-
duction in sales of foodstuns.
Thus in 1898 high point was reached
in breadstuffs exports, at 1898 600 coo:
since then, year by year. they have
been dropping down, until they got 10
SlVHWOOO0 in 1905. The fiscal year
1906 brought them back up to Ss6.
yJ0Voi but the experts OF the statistical
bureau incline strongly to the opinion
lhdt the general tendency is downward
The question then is, what VIII be
sold abroad in place Of the foods? The
answer apparently is contained in the
manufacturing statistics of the last few
years. For decade down tOi 1893. eX-
ports Of manufacturers had been for
decade near a standsul. In 1893 they
were $l5s, 00O No particular effort had
been devoted to increasing the figure
Then In 1893 came hard times. Factories
closed. There was no money In the
pockets Of the people; nobody could
buy. Manufacturers turned 10 the
foreign market. For the first time IL
looked attractive TO them. They made
prices abroad that they would never
have dreamed or in the preceding years
or prosperity. They hunted for wants
and then invented things TO supply
them They made good. Sales of manu-
features IN foreign markets went uD-
ward by leaps and bounds. In 1890 they
were $433,O00.o00. and IN 1905 $543. 00J. 900
There is nothing 10 indicate. as in the
case Of the foodstuffs. that anything
like nigh water mark has been reached.
ON the other hand the suggestion was
made by an officer OF the statistical
bureau that If another era Of domestic
depression should force American man

efforts at extension OF the foreign
market, and II they should have as
Inuch success az they did ten years ago.

Possibly a canoe is not the safest
couch in the world, but Gwen Masters
was given to the unexpected, and she
lay stretched at full length on blank
ct stretched over the floor.
| The low sides of the tiny craft shut
out view of the shores of the lake
and the bright camps that spangled the
dark green Of the underground here
and there. Above rose the mountains
in their majesty, and above all was
the blue sky fecked with tiny white
clouds drifting as idly on the surface
of the blue as did the canoe on the
placid waters of the lake
1t was complete escape from civ
ilization, and she dreamed her day
dreams comfortably until the sand
man sprinkled her eyes and she dozed
! off
1t was her first day in camp after
hard year in the city, and the air was
at once like wine and opium. So
! soundly did she sleep that she never
heard the chug chug of motor boat
until the instant before its sharp nose
struck the side of her canoe, overturn-
ing it completely and throwing her
into the water.
The shock of the cold water reused
her, and, diving, she came up against
the side Of the little motor boat now
| lying silent beside the canoe, while
young man with a very white face
eagerly searched the water.
In an instant he had grasped her
shoulder, and the next moment she
lay gasping in the boat, while he
busted himself with righting the canoe
and making 1t fast to the stern of the
boat. Then he turned to her with con-

Among the litigants before the Eng.

Weldon, who, indeed, was so constant
ly at law that Baron Pollock once re.
marked: This lady has now such a
very large business at the bar that we
must give her every indulgence" Mrs.
Weldon was not abashed by the judges
and said many clever things in court.
The "reminiscences of the late John
George Witt, K c., include an anec
dote of one of her appearances in the
court of appeal. She was endeavorine
to upset a judgment of Vice Chancellor
Bacon, and one ground of complaint
was that the judge was too old to I'm,

Esher said: 1.-The last time you were
here you complained that your case

A Doctor Says 1t VIII Vaccinate You

'The idea of vaccination against con

and | have unconsciously many times
perhaps vaccinated ourselves against

Il have vaccinated myself against
consumption? l must have done it in

Not at all. Let me explain.
"Chauveau, Baumgarten, Grisez, Beh-

nent Investigators have taught us that
the germs of consumption-the bacilli,
the little living creatures that eat up
the lungs not enter our lungs
through the respiratory tract, but
through the intestines-that is to say,
we don't breathe in consumption
germs; We eat them.
in the region of the intestines, there
fore, these men for some years con-
Quoted their vaccinations for consump-
ton. They took calves, and they vac
cinated these calves with milk con
tanning dead bacilli. Afterward they
gave the calves milk containing live
bacilli, and, whereas this latter milk
caused deadly consumption in ordinary
calves, among those that had been
vaccinated no evil effect whatever en-
sued.
among animals and perhaps among
men milk containing dead consump-
ton germs makes a virus which. ap-
piled to the intestines, is a sure cure
for consumption.
Therefore, when you and drink
our milk boiled (as we should always
do despite the oystery taste), we are,

HALTING A COLD.
What to Do When You Sneeze or Feel
the Warning Chill.

A cold, as nearly every intelligent
person knows, is the result of stop
page somewhere of free circulation of
the blood, to which one is first sensi-
tive through G feeling of chill. So
slight is the chill oftentimes that not
until the preliminary sneeze comes is
the victim aware he or she has been
In a draft, or that the temperature
has changed.
The usual notion is that by going in
doors, by changing to heavier clothing
Or retreating from the moist atmos-
phere the danger is averted. These
precautions are all well enough, but
the first and most efIicacious measure
should be to restore the quick flow of
warm blood through every vein, and
SO by heat instantly counterfeit the
little chill.
When the temperature of the body
or eXtremities is lowered, or sudden
chill or quick change from warm to
cold temperature is endured, take
three or four deep breaths through the
nostrils, expand the lungs to their full
est extent. holding the inhaled air as
long as possible. and then slowly ex-
hale 1t through the mouth. In doing
this the imitation of the lungs sets the
heart into such quick motion that the
blood is driven with unusual force
along its channels, and so runs out into
the toes and finger tips, and sets up a
quick reaction against the chill. In
short, the whole effect is to stir the
blood and set it in motion as from
rapid exercise. PHILADELPHIA Ladsar
