SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure In Cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks 1 took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together 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 in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it since he was cured.

WORTH KNOWING.
Simple Remedy That Anyone Can Pre-
pare at Home.

Most people are more or less sub
ject to coughs and colds. A simple
remedy that will break up a cold
quickly and cure any cough that is
curable is made by mixing two ounces
of Glycerine, half-ounce of Virgin
Oil of Pine compound pure and eight
ounces of pure Whisky. You can get
these in any good drug store and cas-
lily mix them in large bottle. The
mixture is highly recommended by
the Leach Chemical Co. of Cincinnati,
who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil Of
Pine compound pure for dispensing.

they had never been before well

published today and credited by Mr..
Peary to their explanation. Only in
telligent white men with instruments
could make their way to such a coun-

"While I believe Commander Peary
reached the pole, accompanied by re-
lays of men, physicians and supplies,
backed up by four we'll equipped sup
porting parties with Eskimos and

a doubt that Dr. Cook reached the
pole first and exactly as he details in
his own published story, supported by
the photographs and observations
taken by him and printed or told in
connection with his story.
THE most astounding part of Com

consists of a statement that DR.. Cook
got to the north part of the land
bordering on the great Arctic ocean
the point for which he had striven for
a month during the hardships of in
tense cold and the rigors of Arctic cli-
mate-with ample supplies, sleds and
Eskimos all in first class condition,
and then simply turned back, ap-
parently for no reason.
How unlikely it is that man with
over 20 years Arctic experience, fired
with an ambition of a lifetime, would
give up Just at a time and place when
one of the greatest trophies the world
has to bestow upon a brave and dar-
