TEN YEARS OF
SCALP ERUPTION
Tiny Pinhead Pimples Filled and
Hurt Tremendously ly-Tried Every
thing in Vain-His Daughters
Scalp was Crusted Both Found
SIMPLY SURPRISING
CURE IN CUTICURA

It is a great pleasure for me and l
consider IL a duty to inform you what
Cuticura has done for me. About
twelve years ago, contracted an erup-
tion Of the scalp consisting Of small
pimples, about the size Of a pinhead,
which filled after few days with pus
and which hurt tremendously. l tried
everything, but in vain. Finally, I
washed my head with sulphur and ap-
piled a carbolic ointment. After few
days the pimples disappeared, only to
come back again in a week. This 1
suffered for ten years and then I saw
an advertisement in the paper Of the
wonderful cures by Cuticura. I bought
a cake Of Cuticura Soap, box Of Cuti-
cura Ointment and bottle Of Cuticura
Pills and after three weeks / had used
only half the Soap and Ointment and
my head was as clean as ever before.
After the first application il was simply
surprising how It improved.
My daughter used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment for scales on the scalp and
after having used them three times her
head was clear and the hair became as
soft and fms as silk. Since then she
uses nothing but Cuticura Soap for
shampooing.
In consequence OF my having used
Cuticura Soap for shampooing, ] no.
ticed that my hands which almost al
ways were cracked from handling un-
dressed wood. lime and stone. became
white and velvety. Formerly I used
glycerine, but one nights treatment
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment does
more for my hands than a weeks treat
ment with glycerine. I hope all suf-
fering people viii at least try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. Herman Becker, FL

Mr. Joslyn announced that he was COM
PEELED TO ask Council for continuance
long enough TO prepare proper defense.
lie thought that he should have uatil next
Monday or Tuesday evening calling atten-
ton at the same time TO the fact that
Mr.. Allen had Since June 8 last to pre-
pare his case.
Mr.. Whiteman objected TO such a lengthy
continuance and expressed the opinion
that the Council should compel the other
side to proceed at once with its case. He
said that the opposite party had since July
20 prepare it case and added that the
disclosures made in the frst hearing were
sufficient for the other side to begin de-
fense II they had one. He contended the
defense Of the opposite side should have
been IN partial preparation. He again ask
ed Council to order the proceedings to
go on.
Mr.. Conway moved that the hearing pro-
4 coed
Mr. Joslyn again said he could not pro-
ceed at once. lie said he re led on the
fairness Of Council and had he not felt
that way he might have tried to put IN
some kind Of a defense Immediately at tho
close Of the other side. lie called Presi-
dent Banning's attention 20 the statement
made by the latter, that he CMr. Joslyn)
would have proper time TO prepare a de-
fense.
Mr.. Whiteman made a statement to the
effect that Mr. Joslyn was negligent in
preparing his case and the latter retorted
/ that he knew Of one witness subpoenaed
/ by the other side who had been present al
/ one Of the hearings and sent away so that
a continuance could be obtained. He said
| he did not think Mr.. Whiteman knew OF
the instance in question.
Mr.. Whiteman took occasion TO repudi-
ate Mr.. Joslyn's assertion.
President Banning came to the rescue OF
Mr.. Joslyn by making the request that
Council defeat MT Conway's motion SC
mat Mr. Joslyn could prepare defense
He said that it was better TO make a mis-
take if it was done by being lenlent to the
other side than by making one by beins
too stringent.
Mr.. Dempsy Of the First ward offered an
amendment TO Mr.. Conway's motion fix
ing tomorrow night to continue the case
Wednesday night was the date finally
fixed
Mr.. Joslyn will be allowed his own SUBJ
poena servers, but can only examine the

How do you manage to get the best

We have to depend absolutely upon

also run a risk of losing business. We
also depend upon them to notify us

Is always a limited supply of delica-
cies, and the hotel steward who is en-.
terprising gets what he wants Of them.
For instance, had the first fresh

Itching.
Pruritus, or itching, is not dIseasoe
in itself, but Is a symptom OF 30 many
unhealthy states OF the system, OF
merely Of the skin, that 1t has given
rise to a formidable list Of prescrip-
lions and suggestions for treatment. A
great deal Of itching is caused by ec-
zema. 1t is the kind that Is calledll
dry" or "scaly" eczema which gives
rise to a most disagreeable and persist4
ent form of itching which sometime9
does not stop even after the skin seema
to have healed.
Another form, called "senile prurit4
U.S." attacks old people whose circula@
ton is defective and whose skin has q
tendency to become thin and atrophied.
In many Of these cases 1t will be foun0
that there IL little or no perspirations
and this fact has much to do with the
constant irritation OF the skin that some
old people complain Of so bitterly, and
which is often so aggravated as to
threaten the general health. II not life
itself, by reason OF the Incessant
nervous irritation and loss Of rest.
Anything that viii restore the lost
function Of perspiring viii relieve the
itching in many of these cases.
A most intense and horrible form OF
itching is, as we all know, often causes
by the bites Of certain insects. People
differ greatly in their susceptibility To-
the bites OF insects, but some are driv-
en- almost crazy by the bite Of q MOS
quito. This itching is caused by the
Irritating quality of the acid poison In
jected by the insect, and Is best met,
not by yielding to the impelling In,
| Btinct to scratch, but by quickly meet
ing the acid poison by the applications
of an alkali, such as household am.
monia, or. simplest Of all, by rubbing
the spot with piece Of common soap.
In nervous Itching, where there is
no break In the skin, great relief II
often obtained by menthOl, which re-
lieves by substituting one sensation for
another, but Of course has no curative
effect
Persons with thin and irritable skins,
prone to itch easily, should always
wear silk or soft gauze undergarmentS
and II they wear wooden underwear
should take care that it does not come
next to the body.
There are as many lotions and ONT
ments for the relief Of this trouble az
there are causes for 1t, but these shoulG
be prescribed only by the physician whO
has ascertained the cause in each par
ticular case.
