Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura-

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead OF
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall OF.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then had her under our family doc

worse. He said 1t was eczema When
she was seven months old I started

sienor caruso's First Salary.

Sig. Caruso. the famous singer, who
is now singing at fabulous salary,
had no encouragement to cultivate his
voice when he was a boy His father,
a mechanic, was against his becoming
a professional vocalist, and did his
best to persuade him to take up some
other occupation. Caruso's first salary
did not amount to more than 25 cents
a week, sum which he received for
singing in the choir of a church at
NaD1es--Tit-Bits.

Richmond, Va. July 23.-Gov.
Swanson yesterday gave out an in
teresting interview on the political
situation following the work done
at the Democratic national conven-
tion In Denver.
The governor says he never wit
messed anything to equal the Bryan
demonstration when the name Of
the Nebraskan was mentioned on
the floor OF the convention. He
also says that many Republicans Of
the west are making open declara-
tions OF their intention to support
Bryan this fall. They like the nom
inee and the platform. the governor
says, regarding the latter as clear
cut and direct. while the platform
OF the Republicans Is held as a
wishy-wishy, evasive document.
The governor expects TO see the
Democrats elect Bryan this fan.

WATER SYSTEM PAID FOR
STREET IMPROVEMENT

Editor Record The principal OBJ
lection to the proposed bond issue
seems to be the fear that sit will
not, for none but a prophet could do
otherwise than guess at the income.
About ten years ago l was living
in Seattle, Wash, when they voted
on a bond issue for improving their
water system which was owned by
the city. The bonds carried $50 years
at per cent? and contract was
ilet for work costing one million two
hundred thousand dollars. The con
tract was completed and the plant in
leaving there, and the profits from
the sale of water was so much in ex-
cess of interest and sinking fund that
the entire bond issue could be re-
deemed in seven years. But Seattle,
like Roswell, needed street improve
ments. so thousands of dollars of the
surplus profits were transferred from
the water fund to the street improve
ment fund.
Seattle's population at the time OF
the bond issue was $4,000. Seattle did
so we'll with her city ownership of
water plant, she decided to operate
the street car lines, but failed to
agree with the companies on the pur-
chase price. The companies asked
twelve million dollars for four million
dollars worth of property. The eight
million dollars difference was accoun-
ted by the companies as the VALUE
of the FRANCHISE that was GIVEN
them by the city.
