0lM]M]|E|D0A1TE RELIEF
AND SPEEDY CURE

my baby was about nine months old when she
had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed
to rriate her most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken of her rest and sometimes
she would cry until she was tired out I had al
ways used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard
Of so many cures by the Cutcura Remedies that I
thought l would give them trial. The improve
ment was noticeable in a few hours and before 1
had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her
feet were well and have never troubled her since.
l also used it to remove what is known as ''cradle
cap from her head, and it worked like a cha rm
as 1t cleansed and healed the scalp at the same
time. Nov keep Cuticura Ointment On hand in
case of any little rash insect bites, it takes

be the means of helping other suffering babies

CARS COLLIDE AT CROSSING.
Two Passengers Injured at 9th Street
and PENNSYLVANIA Avenue.

Passengers aboard the street cars due at
the intersection of Pennsylvania avenue
and 9th street northwest this morning
about S:45 o'clock were given a shaking
up and two of them were injured in
collision between cars Of the intersecting
lines. The injured ones were Mr.. ]. q.
Morrison, forty four years of age, living at
81 18th street northwest. and l.. l.. HAM
mer, sixteen years of age, whose home Is
at 17OS street. The former was injured
about his back and the boy received an
injury to his hip. Neither was willing to
go to a hospital, Mr.. Morrison being re-
moved to his home in a private conveyance
and the boy resuming his journey.
The accident, 1t is believed, was due to
the failure of the motorman of one car
to hear the bell that was sounded on the
other car The result was an Anacostia
car, in charge of Motorman B. A Love-
lace, struck the trailer of a train on the
Capital Traction line. in charge of Motor
man w. 8. Adams. The car on the Capt.
tai Traction line was going east; the Ana
costa car was moving north. 1t Is stated
that Mr.. Morrison, who was on his way 10
the Congressional Library, where he is en-
ployed was standing on the rear platform
of the trailer with the boy and both were
thrown from the car.
Crossing Policeman Groff and Policeman
Owens of the first precinct, who were at
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th
street at the time the accident happened,
went to the assistance of the two injured
passengers. They arranged for Mr.. Nor
rison to be removed to his home but as
stated, the boy declined assistance. The
breaking of the fender of the Anacostia
car was the only property damage result
ing.

OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN
FIRE IN ROW OF BUILDINGS
CAUSES $500 LOSS.

Fire damaged houses 5O4. 5O6 and sos
North Capitol street last night about 10
O'Clock. causing about $1,000 damage. The
bright blaze caused by the burning of the
buildings attracted large crowd of persons
from all parts of the city. The fire was of
such proportions that a precautionary
measure two other alarms were sounded and
additional companies responded, attracting
a large number of spectators to gather
about the street in the snow.
The fire originated in building 506 one of
a row of small brick structures, the occu-
pant of the building being H. s. Cope
land a dealer in empty boxes. Mr.. Cope
land was in the business of purchasing the
boxes of merchants and storing them in the
North Capitol street structure until he
could ship them to Baltimore. How the fire
originated is not known, but the empty
boxes furnished ready material for quick
blaze and by the time the firemen reached
the scene the flames had spread to the adj
joining structures
1t required considerable time and work
for the firemen to get the confiagration un-
der control, and it was not until after /
O'Clock that the last of the fremen and po-
licemen departed for their quarters. The
crowd of spectators thinned out shortly af-
ter II O'Clock. the severe weather being too
much for them. Coffee AMI sandwiches
were served to the firemen and policemen.
Mr.. Albert Carry, owner of the property
estimates the damage to the building at
about $1,000, while the damage to the stock
of Mr.. Copeland amounted to $1,000. The
blaze also reached the tin and metal estab-
lshment of J. B. Mcfarland, causing about
