I doctored with two of he best physicians I could find but they could not help me. One of them pronounced it one of the worst cases he ever saw. My mother gave me a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I did not get much relief from the first bottle but sh urged me to keep on taking it, also using Cuticrra Soap and Cuticura Ointment. After few weeks I saw some improvement, 60 kept on using all three of the Cuti- cura Remedies until, about a year ago, was entirely over 1t and have never had any more of the trouble.

BIG DEAL FOR BIG MAN
Waters VIII Play Regularly--Picrce Welch to He Given
 Trial.

Through the assistance of Arthur Irwin, who Is scouting for the New York Americans, George Bone, playing manager of the New Haven nine, yesterday said that he has man aged to secure a few men, who will probably put In an appearance on Monday Among thom he has al- ready signed big husky individual, whose name he wishes to keep se- cret until his appearance. This play. CT, said Bone, has widespread repu- tation as hitter and has always done great work with the willow. He will be used at first base
 Mir Bone has been spending a few days in New York, Newark and Jersey City, where he had gone for the pur- pose of signing new material and Is still negotiating for some players. While on this trip Mir. Bone saw Me- Closky, the manager of the St. Louis ! Cardinals. John Ganzel, Bancroft and { McGraw. manager of the New York ! Nationals. He was neither able to | lend or buy any players from these people, who are personal friends of Bone. They told him they were un- able to let even one man 30 as they were shy of material themselves Me Graw might have let Pitcher Markle, whom he bought from southern club. had he not had an out of town trip ahead of him. McGraw at pres ent has twenty men, two for every po- sltion and will need all twenty on his trip,
 Manager George Smith of the Buffalo club will probably secure Pat Roonan a first baseman of the St, Paul club fol Bone. At present Bone has big dea on before him and will not let the pub l!c know who the individual Is unti he has signed and made positively sure of him. Many other clubs have beer offering big money for this man who Is Ia crack-a-jack player With him as an addition to the team, New Haver will be strongly represented In hel weakest position. Many semi-profes. sional men have been brought before ! Bones attention, but whom he will no sign for he Ia determined to get goot players or none at all.
 Owing to the fact that Clyde Water is playing a good game at backstol , Bone will keep him for the present ,, using him as regular catcher. whil Murray will play substitute for awhile No attempt will be made to shift Jerr Cornell from right aeld 10 catch. a ! Waters win not be canned, as was frs expected.
 An aspiring amateur, Pierce welcN whose great twirling abilities hay
 been heralded much throughout th

There are also several systems designed for the reduction of garbage only, and for each of these manufacturers make claims some of which can be subetantiatcd and oth- CTS cannot"
 When asked concerning the proper equipment Mir. Scranton said;
 The first thing to be considered is q complete equipment which will be san itary in all respects and not cause complaint from odors or other objec- tionable features. The second feature to be considered Is the cost of con struction and maintenance. From my investigation should conclude that both the Heenan and Meldrum systems would meet all these requirements, but I have yet to find any other system which does not include some objection able features, When considering the difference between a properly equipped incinerating plant, and reduction plant, the following facts should be borne fin mind. The incinerator sys. tenn includes the collection of garbage ashes and refuse, and the destruction of same, necessarily entailing consid. erable extra expense beyond that ot the collection of garbage only, but tc offset that there Is saving In the expense occasloned, by the removal O ashes and refuse which Is now assum ed by every owner or lessee of an oc. cupied building, store etc. It is req sonable to assume that the collection of ashes and refuse under a system operated by che city would cost les than the rem wal of the same quant!t.

 The work of dredging up the spat from the natural bed off this city will not begin until September 20, The statutes governing the dredging on the natural beds provide that the young oysters shall have until that date 10 develop, by which time they will be amply strong enough to bear the trip across the sound or around Long Is- land and over Into Great South bay, on the ocean side, where thousands of bushels of set from the Connecticut natural beds are planted every year. The private growers can of course, be- gin tho dredging on their beds when ever they want to, and the probability is that they will begin in about a month, clearing their beds of the sci they have caught, arranging 1t in the best places for It's development and growth, and preparing the bottom for the set which they will after the law is of, purchase from the Natural Growthers" who will dredge 1t ur from the natural bed.
 The set this season ought to bring a pretty fair price, although as a rule the get which Is good on the local nat ural bed is equally as good on all the private beds in this vicinity But | many growers come over from Long Island ready to make purchases, and the prices paid for specially fine lot. ! of set have, in some past seasons, gone as high as SO to 70 cents a bushel l although the usual price for a fair dredging will be not more than half that amount, During the oyster sea- son here thousands of dollars in cash change hands, and the benefit from nearly all of that money comes right into New Haven merchants outntters clothiers, grocers and chandlers re. ceiving the benefit of the large sums spent here by the growers for the sci they buy from the Natural Growth.

MIR. RHODES
in TOWN

Halsey M. Rhodes. one of the vet
eran newspaper men of the state. was
present last night at the smoker of
the Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Rhodes is the Oldest newspaper man
in the state of Colorado, and now
holds a position in the agricultural
department of the government. his
territory extending over several
states.
Mr.. Rhodes was one of the speak
ers last night, being called upon for
an impromptu speech by Chairman
Bunting; and he sprung a great sur
prise on the meeting by exhibiting
wheat that he stated had been prov
en- grew 200 bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Rhodes stated that he had seen
the wheat growing in Idaho, and that
1t originally came from Alaska. He
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
everyone that it was no fairy story
he was telling. as he had paid $1u
for two pounds, one of which went
to the agricultural department of the
national government and the other
to Fort Collins, the state agricultur-
al college for experiment.
The wheat certainly created great
sensation with the gentlemen pres
ent at the smoker.
