NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair Began
to Fall Out-Wonderfu1 Result
From Cuticura Remedies

About the latter part of July my whole
body began to itch. l did not take much
notice Of It at first, but it began to get
worse all the time, and then | began to
get uneasy and tried all kinds Of baths and
other remedies that were recommended
for skin humors, but l became worse all
the time. Ny hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as l would get in
bed and get warm, my whole body would
begin to itch, and my finger nails would
keep il irritated, and il was 3ot long be-
fore l could not rest night or day. A
friend asked me to try the Cutcura Reme-
dies, and did, and the first application
helped me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take bot bath every night
and then apply the Cutieura Ointment to
my whole body, and kept getting better,
and by the time / used four boxes Of Gu.
ticura / was entirely cured and my hair
stopped falling cat. d. u. Blankenship,

The success the committee hav-
ing the Fourth of July celebration
in charge has been meeting with
this week in circulating a petition
for funds, is most gratifying. Bus
mess men seem to realize the
necessity of having a demonstra-
ton on the Fourth in order to
keep the people at home. Other
towns, Golden, Boulder, Fort Col
Inns and several more will have a
celebration and are trying to get
the people from the nearby towns
to spend the Third and Fourth of
July with them. Should no sports
be held here this year, the people
would certainly go elsewhere and
the money taken from the city
would be a decided drain on the
local financial channels.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 31.-Upon
the assembling of congress H. G.. Hans
brough, in the following letter called
attention of the interstate commission
to a very acute situation with respect
to car shortage conditions in the north
west, especially in North Dakota, and
urged upon the commission to attempt
to do something to alleviate the sit
uation. Senator Hansbrough, in his
letter to the commission, recites that
numerous complaints have come 10
him to the effect that the railroad COM
panies are not doing their duty in the
premises. Permit me to urge, said
Senator Hansbrough, "the Importance
of a very early investigation Of the
situation. feel that If your commits
sion would enter the field of investiga-
ton at once and call in representatives
Of The parties Immediately concerned
there would be no great difficulty in
locating the blame, if blame there be,
and in bringing about improved traffic

more important to the welfare and the
prosperity CT the northwest at this
time, and | sincerely urge upon your
body the Importance of immediate ac-

In reply to the above letter Judge
knott, chairman of the interstate ccm-
mission, sent this reply to Senator
lIansbrough:
1.-The inability Of shippers to secure
cars for the movement Of their traffic
is reported from various parts of the
country and amounts in some sections,
as you observe, to almost a calamity.
This matter has given the commission
special concern, although we appear TO
be without any adequate authority 10
deal with the situation We can exer-
else no direct power to compel inter
state carriers to furnish adequate
equipment, nor are we prepared at this
time to recommend specific legislation
upon this subject. If given carrier

perS in distributing its car supply we
could undoubtedly make an enforcible
order of relief after Investigating a
complaint and giving the carrier
hearing We could also, perhaps,
award reparation for damages result
ing from failure to supply sufficient
cars, but our power to do SO is not

THE NEW YEAR NIGHT.

Oh cold and Silly winter night.
That far, so far around me lies,
Thy myriad lamps are burning bright
From out these distant northern
skies.
Above me CLEAN thy thousand eyes,
Bright eyes that glimmer through
the cold,
And in my thoughts sweet dreams
arise
Or Bethlehems star of old.
Dear winter night, thy voices speak
In dream-like echoes in my ear,
l feel thy cold breath on my cheek
The last of the departing year
The sound OF far-off bells l hear,
Their tones by distance mellowed
lew,
So calmly deep, SO sweetly clear
Across the glistening snow
Yes, though unlike that southern
cline
Where summer holds her yearly
reign,
There is a joy belongs to time
That winter sieges all in vain;
And now that joy has come again
In tinkling bell and silver light
To whisper far across the plain
The glory of the New Year night.

MORE ABOUT SITUATION IN NORTHWEST
RELATIVE TO CAR SHORTAGE PR0BLE EN-

altogether certain. Moreover, any
award made by us in proceeding
brought for that purpose would es-
tablish only prima facie case against
the carrier in a suit brought in the
federal courts to enforce the order.
lnasmuch as such a proceeding goes
upon the theory of awarding damages
it would seem to be rather more suit
able and efficient for agrieved ship
pers to bring their suits in the courts
in the first instance.
I'VE have, however, ordered an in
vestigaton of this matter of car short
age and will prosecute it with the
utmost dispatch. Already one or more
agents have been sent to the northwest,
and it is expected that hearing will
take place in that region within the
next two weeks This appears to be
the most effective course the commits
sion can take, and you may be assured
that everything will be done within the
scope of our authority to bring about
the earliest possible relief"
Since these letters passed between
OelllLof fldnSDfOuSn anu Tile commas
sion a number of hearings have been
had at Minneapolis, Kansas City, st.
Louis, Chicago between shippers and
representatives of the various railroads
with the result that just at present
the members of the commission who
heard the complaints of the shippers
and the defence of the railroads alleg-
ed to have offended, are now engaged
in preparing an elaborate report upon
the rather complex problems they
have found confronting them. Hun
dreds of letters are on file with the
interstate commerce commission bear
ing upon the question of shortage Of
cars in which to ship grain or other
products and similar shortage as to
cars in which to transport coal into
the northwest country 1t appears on
behalf of the railroads that they are
making every effort to supply cars, but
as yet with Indifferent success. The
great mass of data which has been col
lected upon the subject will be
made public within a few days, and
probably Il remedy devised.
