proposed, but John +. Redmond the
Irish leader, rejected this as useless and
a proposal which he and the other Irish

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

ave 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 20 several doctors and hospitals.
each Of which'gave US something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re-
het. A physician recommended a salye
which we threw INTO the fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
50 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 CuticrTa 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-
eura Soap and two boxes Cuticura ONT
ment, costing N all Sl-25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing 1t into the doctors lap I
myself only make twelve dollars a week
as a teamster, but 1 recommend the
Cutlcura Remedies strongly to all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap harmless and

Application for Later Closing Hours is
 Withdrawn in Pensacola.
 Pensacola. Fla, Dec, 21-(SpeciaD- Pensacola saloon-keepers have been in a disgruntled mood since the passage of the g o'clock law, and they filed with the City Council at its last meeting an application pleading for an exten- sion of the closing hour until Il o'clock. especially during the holiday season and on Saturday. nights.
 It was an unpolitic move and stirred up hornets nest as soon as the peti- ton became public. Even friends of the liquor forces realized that the re- quest would bring on storm of pro- test and that the councilmen who dared advocate the application would invite immediate exoration at the hands of the prohibition element. The petition went to a committee and the liquor dealers gathered together. to talk it over.
 The result of the "talk' was that last night the council received a let ter from the attorneys of the saloon keepers asking that the application be set aside. It will therefore die in the committee room.
