NURSE TELLS OF
BABY'S SUFFERING
Raw with Eczema from Birth-Fear-
full Itching Lasted for Months
Treatment FutiIe-WaIked the
Floor with Him Night and Day
Wasted Away and Got Little Rest.
PERMANENTLY CURED
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"The first time went out as nurse
was when a baby boy was born. He
was perfectly raw all over with humor.
The doctor gave us some ointment to
use, but he got no better. The baby
seemed to be suffering terribly, and at
times had to walk the floor with him
night and day, sending for my husband
to carry him when I could not. His
poor little head became covered with
crusts and the doctor decided it was
eczema. The fearful itching went on
for months, and the little fellow was
wasted to a skeleton and could get al
most no rest. At last I decided to try
the Cuticura Remedies, bathing him
with Cuticura Soap, using just as little
water as possible; then l applied the
Cuticura Ointment, and gave him small
doses of Cuticura Resolvent. This re-
ieved him almost at once and in
comparatively short time the baby was
quite well. Now, thirteen years after,
he is fine boy, in the High School, and
he has never had any return Of the
disease. 1 have since known Of num-
Der Of cases of eczema which have been
cured by Cuticura, but none, perhaps,
as severe as this one. i have always
recommended Cuticura most highly for
skin troubles, and shall continue to do
so. Mrs. Elizabeth HOWE, Nurse, 20
Grove St., Chelsea, Mass, Nov. Is, 'o7."

OPPOSE PARCEL POST.
Senator Curtis Says He Favors Pro-
tecting Small Retailers.

The small retail merchants and far
mers of Kansas will be interested to
learn the views of Senator Charles
Curtis on the probabilities of the en-
actment of parcels post law by
congress. Senator Curtis says:
81 think that there is small danger
of the enactment of a parcels post
law. The only argument in favor of
it seems to be that it will help the big
catalogue houses send in their goods
at lower rates to farmers. I believe
in protecting the small retailers, who
pay the local taxes. The catalogue
houses fool the people by sending in
cheap and inferior goods, and rep
resenting that these goods are equal
to those sold by the home merchants.
The catalogue houses put very low
prices on their goods because they
deal in just that class of shoddy stuff.
81 think it is very likely that con-
gresS will enact the law proposed to
put in a low postage rate for packag es
sent on rural routes. This would allow
the rural route carriers to take the
their wagons and deliver them to far
mers along the routes. It would be a
great convenience to farmers to have
goods delivered for them from the To-
cal merchants and would help the To-
cal merchants. The farmer could tel
ephone in his order to the grocer or
the dry goods store and have his
goods sent out on the rural route
after that plan has been tried. if
1t proves successful on the rural
routes it may be found wise to apply
similar 10 wrate generally through
out the country"

TO BRING BACK ALIENS.
Steamship Lines Will Try to Induce
Foreigners to Return.

New York, Nov. 10.-Steamship
agents and the various bodies which
encourage emigration are bestirring
themselves in view of the betterment
in business and in the labor market.
Cablegrams and letters are going to
Europe informing scores on the other
side that there is increased industrial
activity here, the result of all of
which is that there will probably be a
corresponding increase in immigra-
ton. The steamship agents have in
structed their offices abroad to notify
these aliens who bought prepaid tick
cts that conditions warrant their
coming back to the United States.
immigration has grown somewhat
lately, but the steamship men think
that there will be no marked
augmentation for at least a month or
even before next spring. But the re-
port that some of the big plants in
Pennsylvania and the middle west
need men will induce many foreign
laborers to return soon, it is thought.

Brady says, informed him he was not

he supposed and that he was present

drew from the meeting. Investigating
further he learned that the parish
was Incorporated under the laws of
Ohio and therefore the Vestrymen

THAT strikes me as funny he said

''Oh, no." said the purser, they take

the censuss is taken you're really part
of the population of the country. You
