ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY
His Hands Were Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in 4 Days BY Cuticura.

"One day We noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result But the next day
we heard Of the Cuticura Remedies
being SO good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. purchased a box Of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of CuticuIa
Ointment, and that night l took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

against the administration policy for
federal regulation Of the public range.
Despite the fact that he was elected
president of the national association
by unanimous vote, DR.. ]. NJ. Wilson

the honor because of his personal and
political friendship for United States

Wyoming senator has gone ON record
as favoring the forestry and range pol
icies of President Roosevelt.

soYERsTowN DEATH LIST.
Ono Hundred and Seventy Persons
Perished In Opera House Fire.

PsrIshed In Opera House Fire.
Boyerstown, Pa.-One hundred and
seventy persons perished in the
Rhoades opera house fire Monday
night. according to figures compiled
by Coroner Strasser. The list Of dead
includes one fireman. who lost his life
fighting the fire, and one man, Jacob
Johnson, who died today from injuries
received In the blazing playhouse.
Three charred bodies were recovered
from the ruins OF the building today
and Of the 168 bodies or remains that
lie in the improvised morgues. lis have
been officially or partially identified by
sorrowing relatives or friends.
The private morgues in the town
were not of sufficient size to receive
the bodies of those taken from the fire
ruins and the public school was also
used.
Each bit Of jewelry or fragment Of
clothing picked up in the blackened
ruins was tagged, as were the charred
and blackened bodies, or such portion
Of them as remained, and all persons
in search Of missing ones were permit
ted to pass through the gruesome rows
to made identifications. Some OF the
bodies could not be recognized by the
features alone, as in most cases the
upper portion of the corpses were
scared or burned to a crisp.
Coroner Strasser tonight established
a bureau of information where he
granted death certificates and signed
insurance papers.
Representatives of scores of insur-
ance companies are in Boyerstown pay
ing off claims as fast as they are pre-
sented.
Not more than twenty-five of the en-
tire number OF bodies removed from
the fire have heads. There are several
trunks that will probably never be
identified, as there were several stran-
gers in the audience that witnessed the
play.
That the victims were not confined
to residents OF Boyerstown was shown
by the number of unclaimed teams at
the hotels. Fully forty teams remained
uncalled for at the stables yesterday
and the liyerymen said they belonged
to people residing within a radius OF
FIVE or six miles of Boyerstown who
drove to this place Monday night with
their families to witness the produc-
ton of the Scottish Reformation"
There is no clue to the identity Of
the owners OF a number OF the teams.
The merry parties of four and six
that drove into Boyerstown with the
teams are believed to be with the un.
identified dead in the various morgues.

nomination just where William II.

enee between the two situations is that

! banks doesn't admit anything. Mr..
| Fairbanks is still a candidate for the
presidency. albeit in a small way. His
name will be placed before the conven-
don. He will receive solid vote OF
| his home state-Indiana- and maybe,
some other votes. In view of his can
didacy for the presidency he couldn t
very we'll be an avowed candidate for
the vice presidency, too, Therefore
he is saying nothing.
| The only thing between Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks and the nomination is
! United States Senator j. H. Dolliver of
| Iowa, who is doing everything he can
field to Fairbanks. And Senator Dol
liver's friends are working just as hard
to help him dodge the nomination as
vice president as Fairbanks friends
are. People who are booming Dolli-
Yer for the nomination are the people
who would like to see him taken away
from Iowa. which would give the OPP
position faction the control of the
