PERSIAN ROYALISTS
 OPPOSE CARS FORCES

St. Petersburg, April 2S.-Instead of welcoming the Russian occupation of Northern Persia as having been ex- pected, the Royalists have taken up arms and are preparing to strenuously oppose the Czar'S action. Many towns have already instituted a Holy War" against the "InfidelS' and serious fighting is in progress as the Russians advance. Hitherto the Russian forces have been victorious and have sustain ed only minor casualties but 1t is re- ported that the rebels are massing in the vicinity of Tabriz and there are grave doubts if the force now en route to that place is sufficiently strong to cut it's way into the city or to protect its lines of communication should it get in.
 Endorsements are needed and it is expected that they will be hurried for ward without loss of time as the Car and his ministers are fully cognizant of conditions.

DIRECTOR NORTH HAS GREAT POWER IN
 CENSUS WORK
fspecia, from United Press.)

Washington, April 2S.-S.N.D. North,
 arector of the census. will not be forced to resign nor will he be re- leased from his position. This state ment was made to-day by an official who is in a position to know. Senator Root explained the whole matter to the President and said that it was the intention of Congress to clothe the di- rector of the census with more power than the head of any other govern ment bureau because of the emergency character of his work and its highly technical nature with which a cabinet member could not be expected to be familiar. A bill is presented in which it is made very clear as to just how far the discretionary power of the director is to be exercised and just where the secretary of commerce and labor may exercise Jurisdiction over the census bureau
 It is understood that the bill will be changed as to it's administrative fea- lures to meet this point but that North will not be shorn of any of his power Secretary Nage1 is understood to be perfectly in accord with this settle ment of the difficulty. He told the President that he merely wanted to know exactly where he stood with re- lation to the census bureau.

CASE SEEMED HOPELESS BUT CUTICURA CURED HER

Words cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole. body: l was almost I looked more like piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and agony I endured seemed more than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, from under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen was afraid they would break of. Every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but gos aw did mot think eeud ve and wanted death to come and end my frghtful sufferings.
 "In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Rem of recovery. But oh, what blessed re- lief I experienced after applying Cuti- cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching 4 flesh ss5 and ID, brought me the was as grateful as ice to burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply cura cur ResoIvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew l was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in short time I was completely cured. I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. My condition was so terrible that what cured me cannot fail to cure anybody of this awful disease. If any one doubts the truth of this letter, tell them to write to me. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 135 Thomas St., Newark, N. J., Sept. 2S, 190S.'
