SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in Cu.icura.

Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks / took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But I found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom Of it since he was cured.

FUTURE DEALS WRONG
CORPORATION COMMISSIONER
SAYS PRODUCER is VICTIM.
Fictitious Quotations Tend to Mis-
lead the Cotton Planter as to
True Value of Crop.

Washington.-Bot the producers of
cotton and the dealers in that commod-
ity are the victims of the system of
trading in vogue on the cotton exchanges
OF the country.
This is the burden of parts and of
the report of Commissioner of Corpora
tions Herbert Knox Smith on the conduct
OF such exchanges The practice of deal
ing in futures, as it is carried on at
present, is condemned, although the re
port does not condemn the existence of
the exchange.
THE brief discussion Of general specu-
lation in this report" says Mr.. Smith,
recognizes the possibilities for good in
herent in great central market like
cotton exchange, and the need that this
good be developed and evils eliminated
by regulations in line with economic
law"
The report is especially condemnatory
of the dealing in futures, branding this
form of speculation as pure gambling
and highly injurious to legitimate trade.
In quotations for future" deliveries of
cotton the market is so uncertain and
so many elements of chance enter into
the transaction that all bids are made at
. much lower figure than those offered
for cotton actually in existence.
The effect of these fictitious quota
lions, the report points out, tends to mis-
lead the cotton planter as to the true
value of his crop, honestly grown. In
addition, it leads brokers to play both
sides of the market to protect themselves
against loss in such trades, with the re-
suit that the producer is forced to pay
in the end, while the farmer loses like
wise.
