Some time ago my daughter, aged IA,

small pimples and l told her to get the
Cuticura Remedies and take them,
but she used some stun called D.
and in about three weeks her face was
a sight. 1t looked some like chicken
pox and at last like blood poison, so
that every M who saw her was al
most afraid to 90 nea her. Then /
sent Tor q complete set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and now she has not had a
pimple for two months. l knew that
Cuticara would cure her because l have
used 10 before with such success. About
eighteen years ago, l had a little girl
who had what the doctor called milk
crust on her head. This spread until
six months old and grew worse until
/ used all threU Of the CIticura Remedies,
which cured her. 1 have a little boy,
now two years old, who was taken the
same way. When five DAYS old his
head began TO raise up in water blisters,
then turned red and then a yellow
matter formed under the blisters. It
dried Up and looked like a big patch OF
dirt, then IL scaled OF, broke out again
and spread nearly all over his head.
The same kinds Of sores formed In the
bends II his arms and legs. At FIRST
i had Q physician who treated him and
said he would outgrow IL, but when ht

The Charter Revision Commission, with
William NJ. WINS presiding. sat yesterday
in the City Hall TO receive suggestions from
the public. Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch,
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, Miss j.. f.. Robbins
and other women, who were supported by
petitions from several educational and
parochial organizations, asked that the
Revised Charter should provide for the
appointment of some proportion Of women
members on the Board Of Education. Mrs
Batch urged that the appointment OF
women should be made mandatory.
James Clancy. a former member of the
Board Of Education, opposed the sugges-
ton. He said that women were not tenn
~psramentally At to serve on such a board.
Chairman WINS and the other member OF
the commission we're inclined to favor the
women and the likelihood is that the draft
Of the new charter will allow the appoint
ment of women.
DIR. Thomas Hunter recommended that
the City College and the Normal College
should be under the control OF one board
of trustees. John J. Clancy of Brooklyn
thought the Department of Education
hould be under a single commissioned and
that school sup~erintendents should be
prohibited from compiling school text
books and drawing royalty from the sale
of them to the city.
Supt. Maxwell Is the author of six text
books now used in the schools and will
probably have An opportunity to appear

Police Commissioner Bingham have had
their attention called by Gov. Hughes to the

Mr.. Harris says Mayor McClellan's atten-
ton was called to certain violations, and
that he "has failed and neglected to per

that the Sunday shows are permitted under
h guiss Of sacred concerts. The Fedora
ton Of Labor seeks to make it unnecessary
for stage carpenters. scene shifters and
other stage workers TO work on Sunday,
while Chairman Moran is SEEKING to aid the
actors and actresses.
