"Cuticura has put stop to twelve
years of misery | passed with my son.
AS an infant I noticed on his body
red spot and treated same with differ
ent remedies for about FIVE years, but
when the spot began to get larger | put
him under the care Of doctors. Under
their treatment the disease spread to
four different parts of his body. OAR
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would be
cracked, inflamed and badly swollen,
with terrible burning and itching. One
doctor told me that my sons eczema
was incurable. and gave it up. | de-
cided to give Cuticura a trial. When
had used the first box of Cuticura Oint-

GASOLINE'S EXPLODING QUALITIES
Must Have Proper Air Mixture to AL
low Com hu linn

A gasoline tank rarely eXplodes It
cannot unless it contains gasoline yapor
and air in explosive proportions, which
latter condition is almost never present
1t does not explode because it contains
too little air or too much gasoline. Even
if tank of gasoline were to burst from
heat applied to its exterior, the con-
fined heavy gas would not explode if in
contact with flame or fire, but would
burn instead. A tank of gasoline with
no vent could do considerable damage
were it to burst and thrown burning
oil and flaming gas about, but
1000 gallons of gasoline in YES
sells bilges would not be so dangerous
from explosion as a hundredth of that
amount The larger quantity would
burn rapidly while the smaller would be
sufficient, if mixed with the proper
amount of air. to demolish utterly almost
any boat

GOVERNMENT BRANDING.
System Authorized by the Army Regu-
lationS-Arrangement of Letters.

Whenever you see the letters III. S."
branded on the left fore shoulder of an
animal make up your mind at once that
the beast is or was at one time the prop
erty of our rich old Uncle Sam.
Then, again, if you knew the key to
the. system of branding utilized by the
quartermater's department, u. S. A., you
would in a moment, says the Washington
Post, be able to tell the organization of
the army to which that animal was as
signed Immediately after purchase by the
government.
Last October, when the army of Gu
ban pacifcation was being embarked
from Newport News, Va, many of the
army horses and mules awaiting ship
ment became mixed with those of other
organizations, but it only needed the
knowledge of Sergt. Casey to decipher
the hoof brands and dispatch the animals
to their proper organizations. In other
words, these brands serve as identitca-
ton tags.
Branding public animals is not a mat
ter of choice, but is provided for by the
army regulations, which direct that pub
lie animals shall, upon the day received,
be branded with the letters u. S. on the
left fore shoulder. Horses assigned to
organizations will also be branded on
the hoof of one forefoot, ~ inches below
the coronet, with the designation of the
company.
Branding irons of uniform sizes and
design will be supplied by the quarter
masters department. Letters u. S. to
be inches in height. Letters and num-
bers of hoof brands on the same line to
be q of an inch high, the letter to pre-
cede the number, and blocked so as to
penetrate the hoof 1-16 inch. For eX-
ample, the hoof brands on horses as
signed to band, Ninth cavalry, would be
CB9; to Troop A. Fifth cavalry, would
be AS; TO Co A, Battalion of Engineers,
would be REA

So sweet with lyric fragrances

Some careless poet must have spilled
His rhymes upon the grass
While this old books quaint yellow page,
Where vagrant shadows dance
Cnfolds again the lost delights
OF beauty and romance.

Or If the busy, crowded streets
With haste and dust are rife.

SHELTER CITY STATE
BANK EpOSlTORs

Some fifty depOsitors OF the s;melter
City State bank met at the city hall
yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock to
discuss the closing of the bank and
best methods of proceeding. Being a
settled fact the bank will not resume
the question of receivership was taken
up.
Il. L. Sloan was elected chairman
and Il. C. Lightner secretary.
After considerable discussion il,
which a good deal of feeling was dis.
played six names We're presented and
balloted upon for receiver, u second
ballot being taken on the three Ugh.
est in order to have first, second and
third choice, resulting IN Thomas
lockwood first c. H Snyder second
and Rowe Ptngrey third. An advisory
committee consisting of +. c. Light
ner r +. Sloan and f. Il. Gr1nam
was elected to work with the receiver.
The question of expenses was thor
oughly gone over and the advisory
committee requested to wait OIL the
parties mentioned to see If they would
sum.
The drift of the discussion par;ook
OF statements said to have been given
out that We're not true. and there was
much feeling among u few present
over alleged deception. 1t was de,
clded. however, not to take definite
action until full ana complete state
ment OF affairs can be presented. This

Semi-weekly herald., 1907-12-19
LET ECONOMY PREVAIL.

To start in with Mr. Mcconnell an
nounces that the Smelter City State
bank will not resume business II
IS quite safe to say that the Colorado
State bank win 20 into liquidation
This Will mean that two receivers will
be appointed by the district Judge to
wind up the affairs OF the institutions.
In the selection of men for these
places great care should be exercised
and the depositors should take hand
and advise with the court in their Sc
lection. 1t may require several years
to wind up the business and unless
great care is exercised the expenses
viii run up To an alarming extent.
Under the law receiver can put IL
a bill for s25 per day. But this should
be guarded against. The depositors
should look over the situation. Suit
able men capable of handling the Dusi-
ness whose services can be secured for
not to exceed 5000 a month and prob.
ably $3.50 for the first year and then
cnrtailment thereafter can be secured.
The Herald could name several such
gentlemen. And in this same connec.
tion care should he exercised in add
tional help, especially legal services
which should be obtained at stipn
lated price, the depositors knowing
exactly what to depend upon. We
do not want any Denver Savings bank
deal which turned out to be graft
pure and simple. The yearly expenses
Of each bank should be kept within
$1,000 to s3,5OO for each institution.
These remarks are prompted by the
experience OF other communities where
depositors have been made to suffer
by high expenses. Why. just the other
day. Receiver Wheeler of the Ouray
bank filed an expense bill of $500 for
thirty days service in addition TO $3.50
attorneys fees. The Herald believes
that Judge pike will be largely guided
in the premises by the wishes of the
depositors in the selection OF receivers.
