Furious Itching
Hunnor ON Child
Bleeding Sores Covered Her Whole
Body After an Attack of Measles
-Nursed Every Night for Three
Weeks-Nothing Helped Her.
THEN GW17lGWRA MAKES
COMPLETE CURE DN B DAYS

at is in my opinion my duty to
join those who praise the Cuticura
Remedies. After my granddaughter
of about seven years had been cured
of the measles, she was attacked
about a fortnight later by furious,
itching and painful eruption all over
her body, especially the upper part
of it, forming watery and bleeding
sores, especially under the arms, Of
considerable size. She suffered a
great deal and for three weeks we
nursed her every night, using all the
remedies we could think of. Moth
ing would help. We then remem-
bered having heard so much about
Cuticura Remedies. We sent for
them, and after twenty-four hours
we noted considerable improvement,
and, after using only one complete
set of the Cuticura Remedies, in FIVE
consecutive days the little one, much
to our JOY, had been entirely cured,
and has been we'll for long time.

CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA.
Lecture by Mrs. Sarah W. Drummond
at "The Highlands"

at "The Highlands"
Mrs. Sarah Wiley Drummond, daughter of
Representative William H. Wiley of New
Jersey, lectured last evening at the High
lands before large and enthusiastic audi
ence on Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleo
patra." Invitation was by card, and a re-
ception and refreshments followed the lee
ture.
Mrs. Drummond said that In attempting
to realize the value Of a Shaw play and to
consider the complexity OF his irrepressible
slancing humor, it must always be remem-
bered that Shaw is an Irishman. Criticism
Of the Caesar and Cleopatra had resolved
ITSELF" she said. into two objections, that
the play has no plot and is too funny to
be historically accurate, Explaining the
first point as a deliberate departure by
Shaw, who was tired Of the conventional
stock drama, with great scholarship she
raised g. picture of the Rome Of that time
to show the accuracy of the delineation
Of Caesars character as given in the play,
his magnanimity, courage, hate Of super
stitution and sense of humor. She proved
her point that there is no offense to history
In showing Caesar as a thoroughly modern
being with a keen sense Of humor, even If
with a profound sense of his isolation.
During the reception which followed the
lecture Mrs. Drummond was congratulated
upon her Interpretation Of the real dignity
Of the play.

DR. Charles r. Thwing, president Of the
Western Reserve University at Cleveland.
Ohio, was the guest Of honor last night Of
the university alumni In this city at q ban
Quet at the Tea Cup Inn, and in the course
Of his remarks he declared that measures
must be taken soon to provide college fac
utties with more adequate compensation.
Otherwise. he declared. there will certainly
be q marked deterioration In American
educational standards.
"A college man, with postgraduate
degree. who has spent four years Of his
life and perhaps 5000 on his education. Is
now asked to begin the teaching profess
sion In the American colleges at $1,000 q
year, or less" said DR.. Thwing. The
amount IL usually less. In ten years he
may be receiving 5000. He must be a
man OF exceptional force to make progress
more rapid than this. Such a condition OF
affairs justifles anxiety for the future.
The best men will not follow careers that
promise 20 little return in material way.
That will mean, unless there IL improve
ment gradual deterioration In the facul-
ties. and the student will suffer in turn"
DR.. Thwing reported the establishment
Of Of. chairs hal within the past year to perpstu-
ator Hanna. During the past year the
university received gifts amounting to
$IOOOOO: II is part OF this that is to
be ufed for these memorial foundations.
The Hanna chair IL to be appropriately
termed q chair of political science. What
branch Of study is to benefit from the Hay

Yesterday afternoon DR.. Thwing, with a
