BABY GIRL CRIED
AND SCRATCHED
All the Time-Torturing Eczema
Covered Her Body-Could Not
SIeep-Doctor Said Sores Would
Last for Years-Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

at take great pleasure in telling you
what a 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 net sleep night or day from the
scratching. l had her under the doc
tors care for a year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. l 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 had de
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want of aid.
al used all the remedies that every
body told me about and | tortured the
child almost to death. Then / saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for irritating skin. / 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
/ see the skin in bad condition. Alice

until the end of the season.
The appearance OF a cotton plant
attacked by wilt varies somewhat, de-

the severity of the attack. Some plants

are not necessary to infection, though
plants weakened by root-krot may sue
cumb more quickly to wilt. The fun
gus penetrates the vascular system
of the root and grows upward into
the stem. During the life of the host
plant the fungus is mainly confined TO
the vessels.
Liberal provision is made for the re-
production and spread of this fungus
through four different spore forms,
also illustrated in figure 5, The first,
or microconidia Oh, are small, color
less spores borne on the mycelium
within the vessels. The second, or
macrocon&dia Ia, are larger, sickle
shaped, or Fusarium spores and are
borne in great numbers on oblong
pink cushions on the outer bark OF
the stem after the plant dies and the
fungus grows outward from the YES
sells. These two spore forms are short
lived, but serve to spread the fungus
widely under favorable conditions.
The third form, or chlamydospore (c),
is produced on the outside of the plant,
mainly in the soil. 1t is thick walled
and withstands drying or other un-
favorable conditions. The fourth is
a perfect stage, or ascospore (el.

The Railroad Improvements.

The Norfolk & Western Railway is
making extensive changes in the east
end of town in connection with It's pro-
posed new station improvements. Ger
man street east of the tracks has been
filed up until there is almost level
grade as far as the entrance to the two
churches, and the company will also
grade up the sidewalks on either aide
of the street, laying fine new concrete
pavements to the church doors. This
will be a very great improvement to
that end of town. The company is al.
90 using the material from the depot
site to Eli in at the corner Of College
and High streets, making an easy
grade from both the east and south.
It also proposes to build stone Gull
vert over Mill street where it crosses
High, and gil up both Mill and High
streets, provided that property own
ers agree to the changes. The town
council held a special meeting a few
days ago and gave permission to the
company to 90 ahead with the work,
provided satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the owners of prop
erty along these streets:
The work on the piers has been
about completed. and Superintendent
Stevens, who has had charge Of this
part of the improvements, has had the
machinery taken down and made ready
for shipment. The tall concrete piers
present fine appearance and are in
marked contrast to the stone piers of
the old bridge.
The iron men are now ready to push
their work right along. The great
iron traveller, with which the members
of the new bridge are to be put in
place without the aid of trestls work,
has been finished, and the work of
erecting the bridge proper commences
at once. The iron is on hand, the piers
are ready for the superstructure, and
if the weather continues favorable the
work will go on rapidly. Putting up
a great bridge without false work is
something of a novelty, and operations
here will be watched with much in
terest.

A Great Revival.
Rev. II. I. Stephens, of this place,
spent two weeks at Covington, Va,
assisting Rev. John o. Knott in re.
vival service IN CRANBERRY Memorial
NJ. E. Church South. The meeting
was notable one in many respects.
There were about hundred CONVEX
sions, including many young men and
some of the prominent citizens of the
town, and the members of the church
were so aroused that they are making
preparations to at once clear of the
debt of some $4,000 that remains up
on the splendid church property re.
Gently erected by Rev. Mr.. Knott.
Before he left, generous purse of
gold was presented to Rev. Mr.. Ste.
phens by grateful members of the con.
gregation. The Covington Sentinel Of
Friday last says:
On Tuesday evening, November 18th,
at CRANBERRY Memorial M. &. Church
South, after an earnest sermon by Rev.
II. I. stephens, who is assisting the pas
tor in a series of meetings, about twenty
of the most influential of the young men
of Coyington came forward in a group
and knelt at the altar. With an exoep.
ton of two they were members of Rev.
!. 0. Knott's "Baraca" Sunday School
class. II is said that practically the en-
tire class of thirty has promised the pas
tor 10 try to live christian lives. Rev.
Mr.. Stephens is from Shepherdstowu,
W. Va, Mr.. Knott's native town. His
preaching has been powerful and yet
simple representation of the truth. The
