BABY COVERED WITH SORES.

less Hands Were Tied-"Wouid
Have Died But for Cuticura.n

MY little son, when about year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come ON
his arms, then on other parts of his
body, and then one came on his chest,
worse than the others. Then called
another physician. Still he grew
worse At the end OF about q year
and half of suffering he grew so bad
l had to tie his hands in cloths at
night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be mere skeleton, and was hardly
able to walk. My aunt advised me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
of the Soap and box of the Oint-
meut, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,

slopes of the mountains down into the

GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN
BABY SHOW AT THE FAIR

The baby show to be held ON Friday
afternoon OF the county fair gives pro-
mise of being the most interesting con-
test OF the week. w II. Galley, who
has general supervision of the affair.
says that a large number of proud
mamas have already indicated their
intention OF exhibiting their young
hopefuls for the prizes offered by the
association and that the competition
is sure to be of the strenuous kind.
Under the rules laid down by the
committee afl children entered for the
prizes must be dressed In plain white
frocks, fancy dresses being of no ad-
vantage, as the awards will be made
solely upon the physical appearance
OF the babies themselves.

the singing of America" and THE

mining in the vicinity of Leadville,
Robinson and other Lake county
camps. Work has been resumed on
many old properties and they are be-

PENN. HAS NEW RULE
TO COVER ELIGIBILITY

Philadelphia. Feb. 1b-The committee: on ath-
1etics Of the University of Pennsylvania :yester-
day abolished its old athletic eligibility code
and adopted a short and simple one, the main
provision of which Is rule forbidding stu
dents Of any department to compete in ath-
]etics until they have completed academic
year Of work in a satisfactory manner. Penn.
sylvania is believed to be the only university
in the country which insists this rule.
i, Other clauses of the code are as follows:
mo student shall be allowed to represent
the university in athletic contests who ,4shall
at any time have taught or engaged in any
Fathletic sport; for a pecunfary or other con-:
sideration with the exception that he may have:
received the amount by which the expenses
necessarily incurred by him in taking part in
such sport or contest exceeded his ordinary e1~
penses. =-.,.. t-54H II
"No student shall represent one. Of more
universities OF colleges in intercollegiate ath-
letic contests for more than four years. ~
"The rules regulating eligibility as fGrmu.
lated in this code shall be interpreted as rep
resent1ng merely required minimum. No
| student shall be considered eligible to rep
resent the university in athletics, merely be-
caues he satisfies these minimum requirements,
but 1t shall be the duty of the university COM
| mittee on athletics to determine whether it Is
best, all things considered, for any particu-
| lar student or for the institution that he be
permitted to become its representative in any
| branch of athletics"
The rules constituting this code were form,l-
lated some months ago, and sent out for
criticism to more than two thousand educa-
tional institutions in all parts Of the country.
Replies were received from many universities,
| colleges and schools, the larger number COM
mending the code, the most of the remainder
approving it with slight notifications or excep.
