Last for Years-Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

II take great pleasure in telling you
what great help it was for me to use
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
for my baby niece. She was suffering
from that terrible torture, eczema. 1t
was all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands were
so bad that she could not hold anything.
She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the
scratching. I had her under the doc
tors care for a year and half and he
seemed to do her no good. / took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if I had de-
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want of aid.
II used all the remedies that every
body told me about and / tortured the
child almost to death. Then l saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for Irritating skin. l bathed her with
warm water and Cuticura Soap and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three months. Now her skin is as
clear and smooth as it could be. shall
recommend the use of Cuticura wherever

cottage to the palatial residence of the
wealthy.

At the Keylor Grand theater last

that if the curtain were advertised to

Then it is i'll bred and in decidedly

EDUCATION FOR FARMERS.

Again through the country the ques-
ton of why farmer boys leave home
for the city. and Why country girls pre-
fer work in crowded shop to that
of work at home. is being discussed.
Indeed so great has become the inter-
est in this question, and SO imminent
the danger from it, that a Country Life
Commission has been appointed to look
into the matter.
They wont have to look far. A lack
of system and two days work i'll one
throughout the year is the cause of it
all. The boys on the farm are not
lazy; they really like TO work. But
they don't like to get up in the morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock and work until 9
o'clock that night. What city man
would do the same? How much over
time would a union man draw who
did this. Yet it is expected of the
country boy.
No system. lack of education. is the
cause. The farmer who has been edu-

Then allow overtime. But with system,

no reason why life on the farm should

Norman Hackett.

One month ago today, at Norfolk
Va, Norman Hacket began his career
as star. During these eventful thir
ty days just passed. Mr.. Hackett has
been received and feted by more mill
tary dignitaries than any other newly
pledged star in a like period. Begin
ming at Norfolk, where he was the re-
cipient of a reception rendered him
by the officers of Fortress Monroe, he
has had a continual stream of pres
entationS to the commanding army Of
ficers stationed in the south. On nine
teen of the % play dates he has given
his play with military honors'' as
he expresses it. Captains, majors, COL
onels and even generals, have attend
ed his performances with their suites,
applauded his work, and requested
presentation to him after the perform
ance.
1t has become the custom all through
Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, Alaba-
ma, the Carolinas and Tennessee to re-
ceive the young actor with decorated
theaters. and with uniformed guards
stationed at the doors. and gold laced
officers filling the boxes.
Everywhere Mr.. Hackett has met
with one or more old West Pointers
who have come to him for his faithful
picture of their old student days"
incidentally it may be added that
Mr.. Hackett has played to he largest
business of any star in his route, and

THE NEW FOOTBALL.

The death knell of the old time line
bucking, mass playing, man-killing
football was sounded in Chicago last
Saturday when the university of Min
nesota. with it's heavy team, was de-
feated by an overwhelming score by
the university of Chicago, whose team
consists of men under the average
weight.
Heretofore it has been considered
necessary to have the heaviest men
available on a football team and if
college did not have at the opening of
the school year a team weighing at
least IT'S pounds to the man, that
school was respondent. Beef was
the one main object, to which speed
and science were secondary consider
atoms.
But this year, Coach Stage of the
Chicago team discarded all his heavy
men. and had a line that did not reach
155 pounds in weight. The whole team
averages but a trifie above $50. And
these men defeated the heavy team
from Minnesota, go. And Minneso-
ta's team was a good one, and Well
coached.
But Chicago has taken advantage Of
the new rules, by which football is
made more scientific sport, one
which is more interesting from the
spectators point of view and from
which the danger to life and limb have
been almost eliminated. The heart of
the Chicago team is last years cham
pionship basketball team, men that
three years ago would never have
dreamed of appearing in a football suit.
And SO it is that the game has
changed, and changed for the better.
Parents who have hitherto objected to
letting their boys play the game on
account of it's roughness, and danger
of being hurt need have no further
fear, when the game develops here as
it has in the east. Football will al
ways be a rough game and who would
have it changed? For it gives many a
boy confidence and reliance in his own
physical powers. But it is no longer
brutal
1t is clean wholesome sport, one in
which science and not brute force, is
now the telling factor.

ADJUSTMENTS
Max Fiqman In 1.-THE Substitute"

Walla Walla awOke at last from
the lethargy in which she has been
stepped this year and not only gave
Max Figman crowded house last
night; but one that became enthusiasts
tic enough after three acts of the
clever comedy to give him a curtain
call-something done in Walla Walla
but about once a eyar.
Max Figman was supported by a
good company, but he was nearly the
whole show. In the leading part he
pleased as few actors have in this
city and it was q genuine tribute to his
ability hat called him after the third
act to respond to a curtain call. This
he did in a neat speech, thanking the
people for their appreciation.
The show was good, more than that
it was very good. The stage settings
were all clean and fresh; and it can
be safely said there have been few
scenes as we'll staged and as beautiful
as the garden scene, the third act
Figman is versatile, pleasing, funny.
He is a comedian of the first water and
deserved even more than the audience
gave him last night.
His company is large and capable
one and contains many talented actors.
Agnes Everett as Esther Diffy" de-
serves special mention. Ernest c. Ward
as Dexter Chubb' would have been
hard to improve Ethel Martin as
"Chrysantha Haywood" was not so
poor, either; and as Celia Lathrop'
LOleta Robertson did well.
In short the show was one we'll cal
culated to please, a clever comedy,
well staged and presented well, fairly
glowing in the light of that respondent
star, Max Figman.
