HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA
Face and Neck Were Raw-Terrible Itching, Inflammation and Soreness All Treatments Failed.
cuticura Proved Great Success.

Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that I had to wear medicated cotton, and it was so inf1amed and sore that I had to put piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it, and it would stain the cloth sort of yellow. The ec- zemaitched so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North field, Vt, Dec. 19, 1907."

STEVENSON ADDRESSES
THE NATIONAL GUARD
Volunteer Soldiers Of District Of Columbia Hold National
Winter Gatherng.-The Affair tho Greatest to Occur
in Military Circles This Year.

Regarding the annual military
gathering which is annually held at
Washington, D. c., and at which
the chief speaker of the evening was
Congressman Halvor Steenerson,.
the Washington Post had the. fol-
lowing article:
With the Brigade Band playing
martial music, in a drill hall gaily
decorated with the flags of all
nations, and in the presence of
thousand or more representatives
from the army, navy and militia of
neighboring States, and civilians of
the District, service medals and
prizes won in recent competitions
by members of the National Guard
of the District of Columbia were
awarded last night in the Center
Market Armory. The affair was
the greatest one which will occur in
militia circles this year. A larger
and more representative gathering
has never attended a like occasion
at the armory.
l / -
Representative Halvor STEVENSON,
chairman of the militia committee,
one of the District guards staunch-
est friends, made the address of
the evening and awarded the
pres and insignia to the guards
men. Gen. Elliot, commander of the
United States marine corps, also
made a brief address, in which he
J spoke of the changes which have
occurred in military circles during
the last half century along the
line of schooling fighting men.
/ Every guardsman wore full dress
/ 49, -
uniform, and the impression thus
made upon the representatives pres
ent was said to have been great.
| Brig. Gen. George H. Harries,
commanding the militia, in intro
ducing Representative STEVENSON,
| spoke of him as being a lasting
friend not only to the local guard,
but to militia in general. Repre-
sentative STEVENSON, in his address,
declared that in his opinion, no
better way Of arousing enthusiasm
and keeping it at desired height
can be had than that of organized
militias.
/ am one Of those who believe
that the interests Of the people as a
whole for the United States and its
government cannot be better SUBJ
served than through such organiza-
tions. I am also forced to admit
that it is my belief that the people
of the country do not take the
interest in the militias that they
should. It is undoubtedly true,
although a time-worn expression,
that to be prepared for war is
the surest guarantee Of peace. The
people of this country have always
held to this maxim, and always will,
as is evidenced by the large sums
annually appropriated from their
Treasury for the maintenance of not
only the army and navy, but of the
militias. The defense of the coun-
try depends upon the people. The
militias are composed Of men from
every phase Of social life, and are
thus representative organizations.
Therefore, to have high-grade
militia organization is to keep the

interest Of the people at high pitch
in this defensive work.
This event tonight signalizes
one particular feature of this pre-
paration for the defense of the coun-
try. Medals and badges are to be
awarded to guardsmen found to be
efficient in the art of shooting. We
recognize that gunnery is not the
same today as it used to be. The
effort in securing skill requires more
time, attention and labor than was
once the case. When one of these
prizes have been won for high
standard of craftsmanship, the
holder has a right to look upon it as
a badge of honor.
You men compose the national
guard of the District of Columbia.
You are located at the Nations Capt..
tai, and therefore the Capital depends
upon you for support in emergency
cases. Your position is more respon-
sible and more important than that
held by any militia in this country.
And may say that what courses
you pursue influences the militia
organizations throug bout the United
States.
! want you to feel that while the
District has no representative in
Congress, we, the representatives of
the people. are watching your work.
The friends of the guard at the Capt.
tol are endeavoring to inculcate in
the minds of the others who are not
familiar with this class of work the
necessity of interesting themselves
in this department of military defense.
THERE'S a growing sense of appre-
cation among the members of Con-
gress toward not only the District
militia, but militias in general
Following the address, the names
Of the various winners in the several
rifle contests were read by Lieut..
Col. Samuel E. Smiley, adjustant
general of the guard. Each guards
man stepped forward as his name
was called, and Representative
STEVENSON presented him with the
prize to which he was entitled.
More than 500 such prizes and
insignia were awarded.
The entire brigade staff was
present and assisted Gen. Harries,
Col. Smiley, and Representative
Stevenson in their work. Col.
Urell and Col. Ourand, of the Second
and First Infantries, respectively,
personally complimented the men on
their work of the past year. Lieut..
Col. Luther III. Reichelderfer, First
Infantry, had command of the var
ious teams and companies during
the evening. Company M. Second
Infantry, was detailed for guard
duty during the ceremonies.
Probably the best pleased officer
of the guard present last night was
Maj. James E. Bell, inspector gen.
eral of rifle practice, who had given
so much of his time in teaching
the guardsmen to do target work on
the Congress Heights range and in
the gallary at the armory. Maj.
Bell said, at the conclusion of the
ceremonies, that last nights affair
was the most successful one in the
history of the guard.
