LITTLE BABY
CURED OF ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and
Doctors but Could Get No Re-
lief-Grew Worse Under Doctors
Prescription - Friends Recon-
mended Cuticura Result
A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

eve express TO you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied TO several doctors and hospitals,
each Of which gave us something differ
ent every timc, but nothing brought re-
lief. A physician recommended salve
which VIC threw into Che fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
so that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one Of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then We
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti-
ciira Soap and two boxes Cuticura ONT
rhcnt, costing in all S1.25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing it into the doctors lap. +

eases. They are cheap, harmless and

White Animals Can't Smell.

"Pure white animals" said a pet
stock dealer, shave no sense Of smell.
Hence they are continually eating
things that disagree with them, and in
eight cases out of ten poison them
selves and die. Pure white pigs should
never be allowed to run loose in the
fields and woods. For, without the pro-
lection of a sense OF smell, such pigs,
when they get out, eat all sorts of pol
sonous roots and berries and die of
rapidly. In Africa the white rhino-
ceros poisons itself by eating the Gu
phorbia, and pure white sheep are diff
cult to rear because they are continu-
ally munching shrubs and grasses that
don't agree with them"

MINING in NOME is COSTLY.
Two Dollars spent for Every One
Taken Out of the Ground.

Two Dollars spent for Every One
Taken Out of the Ground.
More than double the amount Of
money taken out in gold in the Nome
district was expended during the last
season in the purchase Of supplies and
development work. In other words, two
dollars were expended for every dollar
that was taken out of the ground In
the form of mineral wealth. The Nome
district produced about $6,000,000 in
gold and $12,000,000 or even more was
expended in the district.
This Is according to a. conservative
estimate made by John Rigby, chief
engineer of the Nome Improvement
Company, who has returned to Port
land for the winter.
Last season was a poor one" Mr..
Rigby said, because of the dry wealth
er, the consequent low water lnterfer-
ing with much of the placer mining.
With plenty of water the output would
have been much larger.
much of the money expended in
Nome this year was in development
work, from which the investors will
not realize, If at all, until later. The
men who took out the money are not
the ones who spent the most money.
Those who are after the gold are the
ones who spend the most The history
of nearly all mining camps is that
more money is spent than Is taken out
In gold.
"Nome is still the camp of the small
miner. The big companies have not
grabbed up everything as yet and will
not until the rich pay streaks are ex-
hausted. When the rich pockets have
all been found and only the low grade
ore and sands remain to be mined the
big companies will have to do it, as
that kind of operating requires big
initial investment. There are hun
dreds of individual miners near Nome
who are working small placer claims.
There are hundreds of claims
around Nome which are tied up in liti-
cation and because of the many law
suits the production of gold Is not as
large as it would be If all the claims
were free. The federal court is crowd
ed with work and is a year behind.
During 1900 and 1901 there was a
great rush into Nome. People were
wild in their pursuits of wealth and
they had been led to believe that all of
the land near Nome for miles around
was good. So they staked out thou.
sands Of claims. Eventually they
drifted back to the States and for the
most part left their claims In the hands
of Others to whom they gave the pow
er Of attorney.
But little development work was
done on the claims and in later years
many of them have been relocated
Rich deposits were overlooked by the
first locaters. Learning that the old
claims were Of value, many Of the orig
inal locaters or those who represent
them are now trying to renew posses
sion Of them. This is the cause of the
constant litigation. Portland Gregg

large part the smile plays in real
life In these days it is the woman
who smiles.
"Once upon a time 1t was the wom-

periods, in the Jane Eyre days, when
to wear an imperious expression was
the real thing But that was long ago.
In these days it is the girl with a

Even queens laugh. In the latest
picture of Queen Amelia of Portugal
that royal lady wears a smile so deep
that it will not come off, while Queen
Alexandra has been caught by the
camera smiling.
