full Cure by Cuticura.

Last year suffered with a tremen-
dous itching on my back, which grew
worse and worse, until it spread over
the whole body. and only my face and
hands were free. For four months or
20 suffered torrents, and had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
| was as sore as could be, and until
suffered excruciating pains. They told
me that ] was suffering from eczema.
Then made up my mind that would
use the Cuticura Remedies. I used
them according to instructions. and

FORM new COUNTY.
Continued from Page ~

interests of the communities affected.
Mayor Smalley, who is heart and
soul in the scheme for a new county,
expressed his opinion in the follow
ing interview:
A Great Boon.
81 have always been in favor of
changing the county lines, especially
in this section of the state, where the
growth has been so rapid during the
past few years. 1t is as essential to
change county lines as it is to change
the governments of towns, ~boroughs
or cities. 1t would be a great boon
to the public. If the lines are chang
ed, or a new county created, the
people of Dunellen, New Market,
South Plainfeld, North Plainfield and
other places would be privileged to
enjoy the same improvements as the
people in Plainfield.
UNLESS the county lines are chang
ed they will never get them. l not
only favor the change in county lines
in this part of the state, but all
through the state, where the growth
and advancement demand it. Failure
to follow this course means nothing
less than to retard the march of pro-
gress."
Mayor Smalley was reticent to sug-
gest what plans would be followed to
carry out the scheme, but he declared
emphatically it should be done, and
that public spirited citizens should in
terest themselves in the project, be-
tween now and the time when the
next Legislature meets.
District Court Judge William New
corn, of Plainfield, entertains the
opinion that Somerset county is too
weak to take North Plainfield out.
and put it into Union, or create a
new county. He thought 1t would be
a better scheme to take Plainfeld out
of Union county and put 1t into Som
erset. AS a matter of fact, Somerset
county has a much larger area than
Union, but 1t is sparsely inhabited,
the population being in the neighbor-
hood of 10000.
The political effect of having a new
county will naturally interest the pol
iticians. The proposed new county
would undoubtedly be strongly re-
publican, as Plainfield's majority is
about 1900 normal, and North Plain
field from 300 to 500. 1t would have
a tendency to ven matters up in I'm
ion, which Middlesex would not feel
the difference.
