THREE CURES OF
 SEVERE ECZEMA
Michigan Woman Tells of Her Broth CTS Terrible Suffering with the DiSease-GrandchiId and Another Baby also Permanently Cured.
CUTICURA REMEDIES
 PROVED INVALUABLE

My brother had eczema three diff ferent summers. About the same time each summer 1t came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. He used dif- ferent kinds of medicines that were said to be good for that disease, but nothing seemed to do him much good. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it d faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely with Cuticura and has never been bothered with eczema since. He also used Cuticura to cure a bunch over his eye and terrible corn which was so bad that he could not wear his shoe. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daugh- ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and it cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back.

 MT. Hubbard manifested a faith in Phoenix investments and the future of the city. He said that the prosperity tide was also tapping over into. Cali fOrnia, that a great deal of building was going on in Los Angeles and San Diego was enjoying a real healthy boom. He anticipated considerable marked progress in Phoenix in the next few years, many Improvements and much building and increase in population.

Suffering from injuries received in a runaway accident, Joseph Butts and wife who-reside about three and one half miles east of Phoenix. were last night taken to the Sisters hospital Both are well advanced in years be- ins in the sixties. and while so far as learned the injuries are not considered as necessarily serious, it will be seV- eral days before they will have recov- cred from the severe shock. Dr. Win Wylie. who was called. found no bones broken, and no internal effects mani fest at present.
 The accident occurred about 5:30 Q o'clock yesterday afternoon, while the couple were driving a mule team en route to the city. Near the asylum on the Tempe road the team took fright at bicycle rider who was car rying latge bundle and broke into a run. They ran about two hundred yards when the tongue of the wagon dropped down. and the mules whirled in the road. The aged couple were thrown into tie road and the wagon turned over on top of them. Mir. Butts was pinned under the vehicle his shoulder. arm, hip and other~parts of his body being badly bruised and it was first thought that his shoulder had been crushed, but this later proved not to be the case. Mrs. Butts was also badi-- bruised.
 Mir Sayre of the Valley Bank came along at the time of the accident and rendered assistance. The ambulance from the Golden Eagle stables was NTv- ffuf al to the hospital followed. Both were resting comparatively easy last night and an early recovery is considered

FRATERNITY
BY j. FREEMAN COOK


There was something-almost fear
In the pale face of the man.
As he sadly dropped a tear
While he faltered-and then ran.
At the house he rang the bell.
Ill at ease to break the news
That he gently had to tell
Not his duty to refuse.
Slyly opened was the door
BY timid lad so young
The man paling more and more.
For his nerves were all unstrung.
Then the mother of the youth
Came before him IN great fear
with forebodinRs of the truth
Harm had come TO him SO dear.
your fond husband" said the man,
And he further ceased to speak
Failing words upset his plan
And scarlet flushed his cheek.
sNren me. oh tell met cried she.
with seething eyes bathed in tears,
Quickly, Oh quickly tell me
oh dispel my dreadful fears!'
To reveal the tale of woe
The man spoke in bated breath,
And mildly dealt the sad blow
OF husbands and fathers death.
Darkened were the woman's skies
Children clinging to her side.
Sobs bespoke of broken ties,
Bound in former honest pride.
But fraternal vows proved true
Fathers love had taken heed
BY insurance bound to do
And to help in time of need.
