Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

my son Clyde was almost com.
pletely covered with eczema. Physi-
clans treated him for nearly year
without helping him any. His head,
face, and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off, Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that II
he got well he would be disfigured for
life. When it seemed as If he could
possibly stand it no longer, used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly year
that he slept. In the morning there
was great change for the better. In
about six weeks he was perfectly well.

OPERATORS ARE ACCUSED
Of SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY
Charge Made That the Western Union
Telegraph Company Has Been
MuIcted Of Thousands OF
Dollars.

Portland, Ore.-A systematic inves-
tigation by the Western Union Tele-
graph company carried on during the
past six months has disclosed an or
ganized system of theft among rail-
road operators on the Pacific coast, by
reason of which the telegraph COM
pany has been robbed Of an amount
estimated at several hundred thou
sand dollars. according to statement
made by an official of the company,
who is in charge of the investigation.
Complaints made in several in
stances that messages filed at certain
stations had not been sent or deliv-
cred and the falling off of receipts at
other places on railroad lines caused
the Western Union officials to insti-
tute thorough investigation A Sc
cret service was organized and 1t
was found that in some instances 60
per cent of the money received for
| messages filed at railroad offices
never reached the telegraph com
pany The kilograms, with but few
exceptions, were properly transmitted
and delivered, but all record of the
dispatches SO far as reports and
bookkeeping pertained, had been de
stroyed.
Following the discovery and proc
cf theft warrants were obtained fol
the arrest Of several operators in the
state of Washington, and 1t is alleged
by officials of the company that al
least one of the arrested men has
confessed. The arrested men will b.
brought to trial shortly after the frs
of the year
According to the information gath
cred by the telegraph company, sys
tematic collision in the robberies ex
listed among certain railroad opera
tors. In some offices the thefts, 1t II
asserted, aggregated several hundred
dollars a month, and officers of tni
company believe that during the pas
year the total of the sums stolen will
exceed 100000. Only railroad oper
ators are said to be involved In tn
