DAsy WASTED TO SKELETON.
Ia TORRENTS with Terrible sores on
Face and Body-Tore ae Flesh
Cured by cuticura.

my little son, when about a year
and q half old began to have sores
come out on his face. 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. At the
end Of about a year and half of sui.
fering he grew SO bad I 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 skele.
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got cake
of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes Of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell.

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug.
sist In Your Town and Shake
Them In q Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-halt
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each, meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm.
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken reg.
ularly for few days, is said to over.
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, If any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in.
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores Of even
the small towns ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.

CONTROLLING THE COLORADO

How the Southern Pacific compan,
Repaired Break.
Mr.. Hartman promptly took com.
mand of the forces Of man against ma
ture. With feverish energy, the South
ern Pacific company's laborers set to
work to repair the Lower Mexican
Heading break. Twenty-four hours at
a stretch they worked. Every freight
car for miles around was pressed into
service, hurried to the scene, and
pushed back and forth, dumping loads
Of rock and gravel into the stream.
Passenger trains even were held up
time and again, while engineers Dor.
rowed their locomotives for help in
the struggle.
In fifteen days from the time that
the work was begun, the break had
been closed and the Colorado hurled
back into its proper channel. Seventy.
seven thousand cubic yards of rock.
gravel and clay had man expended in
the fight. With this he had patched
up a break which the steady onslaught
OF the river had opened to width Of
1.10o feet in the soft earth banks. The
fight was won.
Day by day swarms of workmen
are making the great dam stronger
and higher. One hundred and forty
thousand cubic yards Of material. go.
600 of which will be solid rock. will
be used to Withstand future onslauehts
of the river. The great wall, when
completed, will be sixty-five feet high,
ten feet Of which will be above the
level of the water. And the Colorado,
as it laps this unyielding barrier.
must realize that its destructive wan.
behring's are over for all time.

Important TO Mothers
MILLIONS OF OPIUM SMOKERS.
China Frightened at Her Own De-

China Frightened at Her Own De-
noralfzation as a Result.
The casual observer may think that
the opium trafic-smuggling opium,
smoking opiums and eating opium-is
a minor trade, and INDUCED in by
only few reckless habitues who want
to be waited to other worlds. This is
not so. The stamina and the charac-
ter Of the entire Chinese race have al
ready been so Slapped by this drug
that the resulting decentralization has
frightened even the degraded victims
of the habit. To-day China, drugged,
debauched, frightened at her own des-
perate condition, is graphing with the
vice that has her by the throat. No
such heroic effort at moral reform has
ever before been made by human
government. And the Christians who
debauched her are looking on, skepti-
cally, questioning China's sincerity"
At Tien-tsin, where the Chinese Of
ficials had closed all the opium dens
in the native city, Mr.. Merwin found
the dens in the foreign concessions
licensed for revenue by the foreign
consuls, running wide open. In vain
the Chinese officials protested that
this laxity completely nullified the ef-
fort of their own prohibition. The
consuls could not see their way clear
to give up the revenue. Truly, it is an
extraordinary story.
The most conservative Official esti-
mate of the opium-smoking population
in China is 100000, 0O0-only 10000.
900 more than the entire population Of
the United States. Many officials
place the number at $50, 100000
