By Terrible Eczema-Head Became

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within Ave days her face and head were
all one sore. We used different RENEE
dies but 1t got worse instead Of better
and we thought she would turn blind
and that her ears would fall of. She
suffered terribly, and would. scratch
until the blood came. At night We
had to pin her hands down. This
went on until she was five months old,
then l had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said 1t was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started to
use Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three
weeks - what a changel kept using
the Cuticura Remedies for two months
and our baby was a different girl. You
could not see sign Of sore and she
was as fair as q newborn baby. and all
for the small cost Of dollar and seventy

PROF. MITCHELL UPHELD
Judiciary Committee Rcverses Ver-
dict Convlctlng Him of
Heresy.


Baltimore May 95,--In the cleo
lions for bIshoprics at the Methodist
conference here to-day, the Rev, DR.,
William A. Quayle, pastor of ST.
James church, Chicago, was elected
bishop on the tenth ballot,
The twelfth resulted In the election
Of Rev DR., G. w. Smith, editor Of the
Pittsburg Christian Advocate.
The thirteenth ballot Is reported to-
night to have resulted in no election.
A matter of Importance in which
there is widespread interest viii be

court Of last appeal In the Methodist
Episcopal church, in n report Of the

was declared q heratc by the Central
New York conference, of which he
was a member, and for the same all
legged reason he was deposed from the
chair of Hebrew and Old Testament
exegesis In the Boston University
school of theology some time ago.
Prof Mitchell ranks high among He

Of heresy was a noted one. Tho
charges grew out Of certain published
writings OF his, more particularly in

New York conference investigated the

and the report was adopted by the
conference without the accused hay
Ing been given an opportunity TO de-
Tend himself, it is said. From this
action OF his conference Prof, Mitchell
appealed to the judiciary committee of
the general conference, the report of
which will sustain him on points of
law, upon which (dnd not upon mat
ters of orthodoxy the committee is
competent to pass.
The same committee will recommend
that the board of bishops be clothed
with powers and duties similar to
those of a grand jury and that they
shall investigate any such charges
and decide whether they have a sufli.
cient basis to warrant bringing them
before the annual conference for trial
of the accused.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION
Plan by Which the Idly Curious May
BE Kept from Fires.
Nav 25th, 1905.

May 25th, 1908.
To the Editor of The Journal-Courier'
Dear sir-Will you kindly allow me
through the medium Of your columns,
TO add my suggestion to the second
fire alarm agitation. For the benefit
Of those who ought to know and must
know Of every fire, the bell towers
must be preserved, or some other sig
nal necessarily sounded Let me sug-
gest that for each and every fire d
double count of five strokes be sound
ed on the tower alarms, The box
numbers tas at presently to be sounded
In the engine houses and at the s. n.
- =, - -rvTr'TUT- C. exchange. Interested
persons may then, upon hearing the
town alarm, 20 to the nearest tele-
phone and ask central for the box
number. CA practice which Is enter
talned by some now. This l believe
would prevent the idly curious crowds
from Aocklng to the fires, as the ma
jorlty would not take the trouble to get
the box number This system would
at the same time hold all Of the bene-
fits Of the present tower alarm.
