PERMANENTLY CURED
BY CUTlCURA REMEDIES

The first time 1 went out as a nurse
was v;IsH a baby boy was born. He
was perfectly raw al over with humor
The doctor gave US some ointment TO
use, but he got no better. The baby
seemed 70 be suffering terribly, and at
times I had TO walk the floor with him
night and day, sending for my husband
to carry him when l could not. His
poor little head became covered with
trusts 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 CuiCura Soap, using just as little
water as possible; then 1 applied the
Cuticura Ointment and gave him small
doses Of Cuticura HSsolvent. This re-
lieved him almost at once and in a
comparatively short time the oaby was
quite well. Nov, thirteen years after,
he is a fine boy, in the High School. and
he has never haC any return of the
disease. I have since known OF a num-
Der Of cases Of eczema which have b-ssn
cured by CUtiCUFa, but none, perhaps,
as severe as this one. I have always
recommended Cuticura most highly for

Between 5000 and 5000 workmea
yearly are killed in accidents in this
country, according TO an exhaustive re-
port on this subject by the Bureau Of
Labor issued today.
Census reports covering the years 1900
10 1906, show that out OF over 1000, 900
deaths of males, more than s per cent
were due TO accident. A large proper
tion OF these deaths are due TO causes
more or less related to the occupations
of the injured persons
In the anthracite mines of Pennsyl-
vania. during ten years. there have
averaged annually BIS fatal accidents
for every 1000 men employed. The
death rate from accident in the British
coal mines is only l.z9 per 1000.
Reports OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission have shown that during ten
years, 1888 railway trainmen lost their
lives in accident. equivalent to 7.46

which a court should sympatheticalIy

Of Ramsey county district court.
Such a victim OF INCONSISTENCY or mis-

Property Loss Is Millions.

Vancouver, B c.. Aug. 4.-Fire
has burned for 40 miles along the
Elk River Valley, in what is known
as the Crows Nest region of East
Kootenay.
Loss of life has been heavy. Some
reports make the death list as high
as ITO.
Property damage has been esti-
mated at from 100000 to $1,000
600.
Fernle has been completely wiped
out and the towns of Elko, Olson
and Cokato are reported burned.
This disaster Is unique in the his
tory of Western Canada For an en-
tire section OF country, towns, rail
ways, bridges and forest were swept
away. Hosmer, the new pet town
Of the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company, and Michel, 2S miles east
OF the point where Fernie stood, are
making a desperate fight to stay on
the map.
Mayor Trites, of Fernie, in mess
age to the Mayor Of Vancouver says
that 5000 people are out on the hills
or slowly coming back to the burned
district, entirely homeless They are
mostly miners whose entire worldly
possessions have been wiped out
A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil Of Vancouver was held and an i'm
mediate grant Of $4,000 made for the
sufferers Carloads of provisions
were sent In early from Calgary and
Nelson.
The condagration Is the greatest
which has ever reached Canada and
ranks only with the San Francisco

jealousy Cause of Murder.

Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 4.-Sullen
and defiant, absolutely refusing to
tell anything of his past life, Ernest
B. Randall, son of Alice Randall,
OF Tacoma, Wash, charged with the
murder of Marion Frank Bright on
July 5, waived preliminary examina-
ton and was bound over to the Sep
TENDER term of the Pennington coun-
ty circuit court without bond. Since
the murder it has transpired that
Bright was a fugitive from justice
from Everett, Wash.
Around the girlish figure of Win
ME Bartonne, pretty and piquant,
and scarcely out of her teens, centers
most of the interest In the case,
which has attracted widespread in
terest for the past three weeks. 1t
is the generally accepted theory that
the murder was the direct outcome
of the rivalry for the girls affections
between Bright, the dead man, and
Randall, Bright's hired man, who
cherished secret hopes of obtaining
the girl.
