FEARFUL ITCHING
AFFL|CTS FAMILY
For Six Months They Suffered Tor
lures - Patches ofHumor Became
Raw-CouId HardlySleep- Med
ical Treatment Did No Good but
TWO SETS OF CUTICURA
CURED THEM IN TEN DAYS

Last February my sister broke out
with a humor which gradually spread
to the rest Of the family, 1 being the last
TO take it. It manifested itself in
patches varying from the size of a pea
to that Of a silver dollar. The joints Of
our limbs were most affected. The
parts where the skin was tender soon
became raw and irritated and we wera
able to sleep but little because the itch
ing got SO bad at night. My sister con-
suited q physician but he was unable to
name the disease and the treatment he
prescribed did no good at all. As the
warm weather came on we were tor
tured worse than ever, the irritated
parts causing us to scratch until they
would bleed. In August, when it was
at its worst, my sister was given a
cake Of Cuticura Soap. This she tried
and it afforded SO much relief that /
bought the complete treatment, pom
eisting of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. This we
used according to directions and imme-
diately the humor began to disappear.
/ then bought another set and the whole
family were cured by these two, the
blotches disappearing in ten days. Az
ter this we used the Cuticura Pills for
ten days more to be sure that the humor
had gone to stay. We have not been
troubled since and we all think that Il
it had not been for the Cuticura Rene
dies we would have been suffering yet.

8 BOYS AND | DUCK.
They Object to the Dogcatcher Having
a Game Dinner and See the Judge.

Judge Herr was much amused In the
Fourth Precinct Police Court this morning
when a trio of boys. who were forced to
stand on their toes to get a glimpse at the
magistrate, appeared to make a complaint
against another boy. whom they accused OF
stealing a duck and then breaking one
of its legs. The boys said they were
Israel Heinig. 10 years old, Of % Boyd
street; Hyman Yablock. 10 years old, OF
% Boyd street. and Philip Ball. z years
old. of IS Boyd street.
Judge. we want to tell about anoder
fellow who stole a duck from a woman
In Irvington,' began Ball, the spokesman.
How many legs did the duck have?,
asked the court.
well, it had two at first. but the goniff
broke one"
What do you mean by %goniff7'
Your honor. dat means thief in Yid-
dish" said Ball.
Ball continued with his story, and told
how they rescued the stolen duck from the
"goniff' and took It to the police station
yesterday afternoon. Acting Sergeant
Rath was behind the desk, and the driver
of the Humane Society appeared and took
possession Of the duck. Ball protested
against the dog catcher becoming owner
of the stolen fowl.
I'VE don't want the dog catcher TO have
the duck, he said.
well, the next time You see the dog
catcher" said the court, tell him that |
want to see him."
Judge. what do You suppose he's going
to do with the duck?"
II suppose he'll fatten 1t and then eat
it."
That closed the incident, and the boys
left, r%enarking that they would go to a
higher court.

PEOPLE TO DECIDE
AN APPOINTIVE OR ELECTIVE
SCHOOL BOARD.
Education Body to Consider Resolution
to Put Question to vote-May
Proftsby Presentment.

It is expected that at the meeting
of the Board of Education next week
a resolution will be introduced provid-
ing that the board submit to the No
vember election the question whether
they favor a board of nine appointive
members or prefer the present system
of electing two members from each
ward. Assistant City Attorney Charles
NJ. Myers vas asked yesterday to draft
a resolution in accordance with pro-
visions of the Stokes school law.
Three years ago the people voted
against the nine appointive members
scheme. but the vote was very light.
Next November 1t will be necessary
to elect two school commissioners to
represent the newly created Sixteenth
Ward. That will make a board of
thirty-two members. AS the city grows.
the board grows, and the advocates OF
a smaller body say that 1t is becoming
unwieldy.
A plan is on foot to change the rules
of the board so that the president shall
have the power of veto. It may be
necessary to have the law amended to
accomplish that, but it is believed by
those advocating the plan that merely
a change in rules will be required. The
board would. as in other bodies. re-
serve the right to repass any such
measure over his veto by a t~wo-thirds
vote.
DIR. Herman A. Glatzmayer, Seventh
Ward School Commissioner and leader
of the Democratic wing of the politi-
cally-tied board. said last night that
there would be no caucus of his parti-
sans to consider the presentmeut of the
last Grand Jury.
The Democratic and Republican
members say that they expect to con-
slider the presentment in open session
If that is the desire of the majority of
the board, and that there will doubtless
be many suggestions based on recon-
m~endations of the Grand Jury.
