BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy Cure by Cuticura.

My baby vas about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most. especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest. and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that thought I would give them trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours. and before l had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as cradle cap from her head. and t worked like a charm. as it cieansed and healed the scalp at the same time Mrs Hattie Currier, Thomaston. Me. June g. 1906"

Hardin is at present surrounded

soil. A tract Of thousand acres
Immediately surrounding the little

Hardin has been the great cattle

going to be a development of general

other parts Of the country.
Along the Box Elder farming has
been carried OH for several years
with success. But for the most part
the Hardin country is vast

The simple and the strenuous
methods of life came into competi-
tion here on the Fourth OF July and
when the day was finished at 3 30
q. m. July5 the simple life had made
more converts than a colored camp
meeting. Everybody simply swors
that he or she would never leave
Greeley again to celebrate the
Fourth. Those who remained At
home Of course consoled with the
usual II told yon so'' But the stay
ar homes were so few that really they
didn't count much.
Platteville had .ousing celebra-
tion of its own.
Eaton was the other town In Weld
county that had big celebration,
but they sure had it. Fully 1000
people from the other towns were
there and did justice to everything
that was going on.
