RASH ALL OVER BOYS BODY.
Awful, Crusted, Weeping Eczema on
Little Sufferer-A Score of Treat
ments Prove Dismal Failures.
Cure Achieved by cuticura.

MY little boy had an awful rash all
over his body and the doctor said it
was eczema. 1t was terrible, and used
to water awfully. Any place the water
went it would form another sore and it
would become crusted. A score or
more physicians failed utterly and dis
mally in their efforts to remove the
trouble. Then ] was told to use the
Cuticura Remedies. / got a cake OF

Friends Amused by Taft Bath Story

Springs. He informed them that the
president would be out presently, and
then, as the mountain breezes were
spreading his coat-tails out SO that you
could play checkers on them, he hiked
to summon the presidential valet. The
president finally appeared on the plat
form, and explained smilingly but has
tily that his program hadn't any no.
tice of a six o'clock reception. The
crowd stated that whether it did or
didn't he was there, and they were
going to have him, and off they rushed
him to the Glenwood Springs hotel to
show him the wonderful public bath
with the towns famous warm springs.
Now, a bath before breakfast is a very
pleasurable thing to take, but the way
the president was to take this did not
suit him in the least. The thoughtful
people of Glenwood had prepared a
specially-constructed bathing suit for
the president, and q dozen or SO for
the members of the party, and the pro.
gram was that the president was to
patter down into the pool on one side,
while the multitude watched from the
other side. The president positively
declined this courtesy, and reluctantly
the people of Glenwood Springs gave
up their promised presidential pleas.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats. 1t stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish-
ment and yigor. without taxing the
digestion, and yet 1t Is the least ex-
pensive food one a eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers. factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
if fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Scotch Oats
in regular size packages, and hermet-
ically sealed tins; the latter is best for
hot climates. s

of the counterfeit pennies are made

the fiscal year coined more than 1000,
600 cents and more than 72,000,0 00
nickels. Up to just recently all the
cents and nickels have been made in
Philadelphia, but according to a new
law, passed by congress not long ago,
these coins may be made at any OF

at San Francisco last autumn put out

representing the two accused tinan-
oiers, what Information he had before
or subsequent to the day Van Vlissin-
gen confessed his crimes that John

OF his Illegal practices. He denied
he had such knowledge.
Later he again denied that either
John r. Walsh or Fred NJ. BIount
knew his secret. At the close of the
day : session Van Vlissingeu, in the
presence of his counsel, made this
statement.

PUNCHbOWL HAT
UNDER THE BAN
HEADGEAR OF PALo ALTO WON
EN- TA5ooEo BY PASTOR OF
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Palo Alto. April 29.-The inverted
punehbowl hat has been driven from
the Palo Alto Presbyterian church.
1t has been banished for good and
aye by the women's circle. There
was no special prejudice against the
suggestive shape nor against the
Bachalian clusters with which they
were trimmed In themselves the
hat might have been tolerated, but
then. say the women, there is no tell.
ing what might have followed. The
decree was more of an act of caution
for the future than of special antag.
onism to the prevailing modes. Any
way, the edict has gone forth that
women must hereafter sit hatless in
their pews at the Presbyterian church.
The movement began more than
year ago. 1t was inspired by the sky
sweeping feathers that in the fashions
of that time formed a protecting TO.
liage for the weary worshiper
Then came the space-flling Merry
Widows that seriously curtailed the
pew capacities, only to be superseded
by varied assortment of bread bas-
kets, dippers, tunnels and other
kitchen utensils. In fear of what
might come next, the women's circle
decided to meet the issue at once.
The changed order Of things has not
been received with full approval.
