method to be employed in revising
them.
For Ownership.
The democratic party headed by
Dunno. stood for immediate municipal
Ownership through condemnation of
street car properties. if the result could
not be obtained in any other way.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

Covered with Yellow SOres--GreW
Worse-Parents DiscOuraged-Ih "A
Week Cuticura Drove Sores Away.
'Our little girl, one year and haH
old. was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called It, we
called in the family doctor, and he gave
some tablets and said she would be all
right in a few days. The eczema grew
worse and we called in doctor No. z.
He said she was teething, as soon as
the teeth were through she would be
all right. But she still grew worse.
Doctor No. 5 said it was eczema. by
this time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he couid
help her. so we let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one OF her
eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over. and said that lie could not do
anything more for her, that we had
better take her to some eye specialist,
since it was an ulcer SO we went to
Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said
the eyesight was gone, but that ne
could help it. We thought we would
try doctor No. 3. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged SO more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
cOuraged. 1 saw one of the Cuticura
advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment. so I went and purchased
a set Of Cuticura Remedies, which cost
me 81, and in three days our daughter,
who had been sick about eight months,
showed great Improvement, and in one
week all sores had disappeared. OF
course it could not restore the eye
sight, but if we had used Cuticura in
time / am confident that it would have
saved the eye. We think there is no
remedy SO good for any skin trouble or
impurity Of the blood as Cuticura. Mr..

Hog Is Gasrruuomic joy.

John J, UpShur Dennis of the SUI
preme behth, who has been i'll nearly a
year, sat in his room at the Church
Home and Irfrmary on Monday after
noon and talked of things. His talk
was light and pleasant and interest
ing, for it related to the joys of living
and the dishes so agreeable to the pal
ate, including terrapin and duck. ''The
hog" he said, 'is the greatest animal
in the world. Every part of him has a
different flavor and each flavor is bet
ter than that of any other animal in
the world"
Better than a terrapin"
81 don't call a terrapin an animal.
The terrapin, as 1 explained, is a crea
ton. But to return to the hog; all of
him is good, from his tail to his front
feet. Chine is a great dish, but it
doesn't compare with jowl. JoWl and
turnip tops in the spring can be beat
by only one thing and that is a boiled
hen turkey. Nobody but a Yankee or
heather would roast a hen turkey in
the spring. Hen turkeys are fat before
they lay and the flavor is delicious.
Properly cooked and served such
dish is fit for kings and nations have
gone to war for less cause. Baltimore
