BABY's SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor

Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran
Found Cure in Cuticura.
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 RON to-
gether 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
intense. The skin on his back became hard
and rough like the bark on tree. He
suffered intensely for about three months.
But found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment The result was almost
magical. That was mere than two years
ago and there has not been the slightest
symptom of it since he was cured. j. w.

Lockport, N. Wharton Goerss,
nine years old, was killed by an auto
mobile driven by Harry Haskins, son
of Supervisor Haskins, of the Fifth
Ward, here. Chief of Police Smith
placed Haskins under arrest.
Haskins was employed as demon
strator for local automobile firm.
He says the runabout was slowed up
when the girl and four other persons
started to cross the street in front of
it. The party on foot also came to a
standstill, and Haskins sent the auto
mobile ahead. Just as he did so the
girl darted away from the others and
ran into the side of the runabout.

STAMPS ON CoLoRED PAPER.
Postmaster General Considering De-
parture in Postage Stickers.

Because of the confusion experienced by
the public and the postal service on ac-
count of the printing of postage stamps.
of different denominations, i'm like coIors,
Postmaster General Hitchcock is consid-
ering the advisable of printing some of
the stamps on cblored paper.
The difficulty heretofore experienced has
been due to the lack of sufficient strongly
contrasting colors for so many denomna-
tons. This has made it necessary to use
inks of different shades of the same COL
ors. The result is that the one-cent
green stamp is confused with the eight
cent olive, the three-cent purple with the
fifty-cent lavender, the five-cent dark blue
with the fifteen-cent light blue and the
six-cent orange with the ten-cent yellow.
II Is believed that the use of colored pa
per will make the stamps readily distni-
guishable, under artificial as we'll as nat
ural light.
In pursuance of this scheme the ten
cent stamp will be printed experimentally
in rich brown ink on yellow paper. The
effect is pleasing, and the Postmaster
General considered this in selecting the
combination, although his principal object
was to make it easy to determine the de-
nomination of the stamp at glance
The new ten-cent stamp will be placed
on sale as soon as a supply of yellow
paper bearing the usual watermark can
be manufactured and the stamps printed
If the experiment proves successful it
Will be extended to other stamps of the
HIGHER denominations.

INTELLIGENCE OF THE FOX.
Apparently Able to Distinguish Be
tween Real and False Dangers.


The intelligence of the fox is often
shown by the way he refuses to be headed
when he has made up his mind as to the
safe course to take. The West Somerset
have an excellent fixture at Kilve, but it
has one drawback-the sea is not far off,
and foxes naturally often make for the
cliffs, secure refuge. fox can be
easily headed at times, but that is merely
always when to be seen would betrdy
him to his enemies the hounds and give
them an advantage; but when if he makes
his point the advantage is on his side.
then nothing will turn him.
To return to the West Somerset at
kilve; they found a fox, and the whip
perrin, seeing that the fox meant to go to
the cliffs if possible, started to head him
off. The ground was open, and for half
a mile the whipper-in and fox were taking
parallel lines, the fox clearly meaning to
slip by and find refuge in the cliffs. The
man turned the fox away at last. but in
a short time the hounds lost him, and
believe he got back after all.
Again the master ranged up some of the
field to prevent another fox going back
into certain covert. In vain whips were
ratified against saddle flaps; the fox went
