THREE CURES Of

Michigan Woman Tells of Her Broth

CUTICURA REMEDIES
PROVED INVALUABLE

any brother had eczema three diff
ferent summers. About the same time
each summer it came out between his
shoulders and down his back, and he said
his suffering was terrible. He used Diff
ferent kinds Of medicines that were said
to be good for that disease, but nothing
seemed to do him much good. When it
came on the third summer, he bought a
box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it
faithful trial. Soon he began to feel
better and he cured himself entirely
with Cuticura and has never been
bothered with eczema since. He also
used Cuticura to cure a bunch over his
eye and terrible corn which was SO bad
that he could not wear his shoe. A
lady in Indiana heard of how my daugh-
ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son
Of terrible eczema by the Cuticura
Remedies. This lady's little one had

they would lose it. She used CuticHra

ing stock in several others and the con-
troll of all of these through a single
holding company. A conspicuous ex
ample of the concentration of control
is cited in the case of the Rock Island
company.
There is no doubt that this confus-
ing and complex form of organiza-
ton and stockholding is contrived
not only to concentrate control of a
great system of railroads and sub
sidiary lines in the hands of a small
group of men. but to obscure and
conceal that control. A similar effect
is produced when men like Hartman
and those associated with him as the
executive committee of the Union Pa
cifie are able to use the funds and
credit of that company to bring I'M
der its domination a number of other
lines which may be made tributary to
1t or whose competition with it may
be thereby restrained or suppressed.
1t puts vast power into their hands,
their ownership of stock in the va
rious companies, but through their
use of control confided to them by
the stockholders of any company to
exercise control over others, with lit
tie regard for the interests of the gen.
eral body of shareholders in any of
them. 1t is by this ownership by one
corporation of the stock of other, cor
porations that this concentration of
power, liable to enormous abuse is
effected, and there seems to be no way
Of dispensing that power save by the
prohibition of such ownership except
as 1t may be directly sanctioned by
some public authority

Matteawan, Feb. 7-Dr. Lamb,
superintendent of the state hospital

after thirty days or 50, it is his belief
that Harry X. Thaw is sane it will be
within the province Of the hospital
authorities to so certify to the court
and recommend his release. A COM
mission In lunacy or other proceedings
would not be necessary, he declared.
The physicians at the institution
are not making observations of Thaw
as yet, as they feel he has not re-
covered from the excitement caused
by hts recent trial for the murder of
Stanford White. He is considered
model prisoner by the physicians and
on account Of his good behavior has
been allowed certain SPECIAL privileges.

What do physicians call kidney trouble?
Nephritis.
What does Nephritis mean?
Inflammation of the kidneys.
Is there any specific for inflammation of
the kidneys?
Up to the discovery of Fultons Renal
Compound there was nothing known to
physicians or pharmacists that would re-
duce Renal (kidney) inflammation:
What then have physicians given in
chronic kidney disease?
Having nothing for Renal inflammation
theys gave up trying to reach the kidneys
and considered it incurable as the books
say, and treated the heart and other
symptoms.
Then other than Fulton's Renal Com
pound there is no real kidney specific?
There is nothing else known that will
reduce kidney Inflammation in any of it's
stages either first or last.
But many kidney troubled people re-
cover?
Because it commonly gets well at first.
But if 1t does not 1t passes into the sec
ond stage that was incurable up to the
discovery of this compound. and that is
the reason the kidney deaths have now
reached ITO per day.
Kidney disease in both stages is now
durable by this compound in about 81 per
cent OF all cases.

Gross Earnings on Kansas City South
ern Road Increase.


For the first half of the fiscal year
the Kansas City Southern road has
made a highly satisfactory showing,
when all the circumstances of the case
are taken into consideration. It's gross
earnings for the six months show an
increase of nearly 100000, as compared
with the corresponding period in the
previous year. which was the banner
year in the roads history
Owing to the greatly increased ex-
penses, net earnings do not show so
much of gain, but they still are $4,000
ahead of those of the first half of the
previous year.
For the first three months of the year
the road made a fine showing both in
gross and net, but the depression occur
ring in October at once affected it's
earnings Officials Of the road, how
ever, appear to be confident of their
ability so to suit themselves to their
circumstances that the fiscal year as
whole will make as good a showing in
net as did the previous year.
OF its ability to keep operating ex-
penses in line with gross earnings the
management of the property gave
abundant proof in the previous fiscal
year, when the figures were brought
down from 1910 per cent of gross to

According to a personal letter re-

from a friend connected with the
Baldwin Locomotive works in Phila-
delphia. the enormous total of fifteen
thousand men have been laid off at
the plant owing to the large cance1la-
ton of orders by the railroads of the
country. Two locomotives it is said
now do the switching around the
plant in place of the sixty that were
in use three weeks ago. The orders
for locomotives by the railroads pre-
Vious to the coming of the late finars-
cial depression were the largest on
record and an extra force of men was
employed which the sudden slump in
orders has cut down to the extent
mentioned. The Baldwin plant is the
