BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 Years-Face Was All
Raw-Skin Specialists Failed, But
Cut,cura Effected Cure.

When my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on his face.
I took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Then l took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get a nights sleep in
months. / got a set of Cuticura Rene
dies and he felt relieved the first time
1 used them. 1 gave the Cuticura
Remedies good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up He Is now
seven years old and think the trou-
Bile will never return. Mrs. John G.

FINALS IN NEBRASKA
COMPLETE RETURNS ON EIGHTY.
FIVE COUNTIES.
CONGREssMEN Two TO -FOUR
Cowgirl, Democrat. for Railway Com
missioner, Has $50 Lead, with
Three Counties Missing.

Omaha - Complete returns from
eighty-five Nebraska counties indicate
the republicans will save five state
officers and give the democrats three
below governor. The republicans get
two congressman and the democrats
four.
Ane compilations show Cowles
(rep.) for land commissioner has Sc
cured a lead over Eastman (dem.) in
these counties amounting to 1,772,
which the five remaining counties that
four years ago did not have repub-
lican lead of over 500 together. are
not likely to overcome.
This would make the roll of state
officers as follows: Governor, A. c.
Shallenberger (dem.); lieutenant gov
ernor, E. o. Garrett (dem); secretary
Of state DR.. A. T. Gatewood (dem.) /;
treasurer, Lawson G. Brian (rep); au-
ditor, Silas r. Barton (rep); superin-
tendent of schools. E. c. Bishop
(rep.); attorney general. William T.
Thompson (rep): commissioner OF
public lands and buildings, Edward B..
Cowles (rep); railway commissioner,
William H. Cowgirl (dem.).
The figures from eighty-seven coun-
ties complete on state auditor show
Barton to have a lead over Price of
3,S41. Eighty-five counties on attor-
ney general give Thompson a plural
ity of 1926 over Fleharty. In eighty
five counties Brian leads Mackey by
1907. 1t is apparent that for secre-
tary of state George c. Junkin is de-
feated by Gatewood, eighty-five coun-
ties showing a plurality Of LISP for
Gatewood. Cowles in the same coun-
ties practically reverses the vote, Sc
curing 1,772 majority over Eastman,
who has been claiming election to
the Office of Ian. commissioner.
Computations on railway commits
sioner were altered Sunday by the
discovery of an error in computing
the Douglas county returns, which
give Cowgirl now a plurality of 1908
in the county and a plurality of ESQ
in eighty-seven counties. The Doug
las county vote stands: Williams, 49,
SCI: Cowgirl. 1869.
Results cannot be greatly changed
from these figures, which on railway
commissioner are minus the vote of
Blaine, Mcpherson and Keya Paha
counties, which two years ago gave
majority Of EGO for Sheldon. The total
vote in these counties was 666.
Figures ON the various officers are
as follows:
Secretary of state. eighty-five coun-
ties, Junkin, 126,640; Gatewood, 1885,
422; Gatewood's plurality, LISP.
State auditor, eighty-seven coun-
ties, Barton. 130,GS1; Price, $4,000;
Bartcn's plurality, 3,4S1.
Treasurer, eighty-five counties, Bri-
an, 1851; Mackey, 124,2S4; Brian's
plurality, 2,G07.
Attorney general, eighty-five coun-
ties, Thompson, 12S,0S2; Fleharty,
123,797; Thompson's plurality. 1885.
Land commissioner, eighty-five
counties, Cowles, 126,OS1; Eastman,
124,3O9: Cowles' plurality, 1,7i2.
