ITCHING RASH fa YEARS.
Girls Rash Spread and Grew Worse
Under Specialists Care-Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

when my daughter was a baby she
had a breaking out behind the ears.
The doctor said that she would out
grow it, and it did get somewhat bet
ter until she was about fifteen years
old, and after that she could get moth
ing that would drive it away. She was
always applying something in the way
of salves. 1t troubled her behind the
knees, opposite the elbows, back Of
the neck and ears, under the chin, and
then it got on the face. That was
about three years ago. She took treat
ment with a specialist and seemed to
get worse all the time. We were then
advised to try the Cuticura Remedies,
and o 1 don't see any breaking out.

RIOT IN new YORK
BEAT STRIkE-BREAKERS AND
TRY TO BURN LINER.
THEY SHOOT AT SHIPS OFFICERS
Policemen Are o~verpowered In Bat
tle-Bowiders, Knives and
Pistols Used. j.

New York, N. Y.-By a concerted
plan, 800 Italian freighthandlers,
armed with powders, cotton hooks,
knives and pistols, charged the pier of
the Italian line at the foot of West
Thirty-fourth street. The invaders
o~verpowered two policemen, exchanged
pistol shots with officers of a liner,
beat $50 strjke-breakers, destroyed
some freight, tried to set fire to the
steamer Campania, and fought a squad
of reserves fW ten minutes. 1t was
the most desperate and most costly
riot that has yet marked the great
strike of the $4,000 longshoremen.
The attack came when Dominick
Pace and Dominick Delcati, foremen
for Brady e Coil, boss stevedores,
opened the big iron doors at the West
street end of the pier to admit a
caravan of loaded trucks. Inside $50
Siciliians, who had been imported
from Philadelphia, were trying to get
the consignments out of the Campania
and the City of Turin.
Most of the rioters raced down the
pier shed, straight for the gang planks
of the Campania. From the hold a
babble of frightened shrieks was al
ready issuing. The strikebreakers
had heard them coming, and were be-
ginning to call on the saints and the
police for protection.
Perhaps a third of the invaders de-
tached themselves from the main body
and proceeded to do what damage they
could. They ripped open bales of
r~aisins, smashed crates of lemons and
tore boxes and barrels apart, stuffing
their pocket. with what edibles they
could carry and trampling the rest un-
der foot.
