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 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 intense. The skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of tree. He suffered intensely for about three months. But found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. The result was almost nagi- cal. That was more than two years ago and there has not been the slightest symptom of it since he was cured. J.W. Lauck, Yukon, Okla, Aug. 2S and Sept. 17, 1908" f

WESTERLY BOWLERS ORGANIZED
Eight Teams Open Season Oct 26Rritish Club Votes Reward for Detection of ncendary-No-License Campaign to End with Rally and Sunday School Parade-Experts Examine Trees Killed by Gas.

Although the early morning blaze in the quarters of the British club did | comparatively little damage to the Potter Langworthy brick block in which the club was located, there is fully as much mysterious talk over the fire as there was of the complete burning of the old wooden Potter Langworthy block. on the site of the present structure, some five years ago. Ever since that night there has been hints that it was probably of incen- diary origin, and the same opinion pre- vails in regard to the second fire. Chief of Police Bransfield is making 1 thorough Investigation of this latest l fire. The presence of a jug of kerosene oil in the quarters of the British club has. not yet been explained. The stew ard of the club had no Knowledge that there was any kerosene in the club room when he closed the place at 1920,
 or over an hour before the fire was dis covered.
 Another peculiar fact in connection with the fire is the fact that when Dr. Scanlon discovered the smoke coming from the third story of the building the electric lights in the clubroom were turned on, although the steward is positive that these lights were extin- guished when he closed the rooms for
 the night It is surmised that if this nre was or lTHend4dry orig T the nre-
 bug in order to escape uncomfortably quick detection. had in addition to confining the early part of the blaze. to the enclosed telephone booth. turned
 on the electric lights in order to lessen the detection of the blaze from the out
 side
 Another feature that tends to con- vince that the fire was the work of an
 incendiary was the finding of the cork
 stopper of the kerosene jug in the room
 In front of the one where the fire orig
 mated. This would show that the cork
 was removed in the light and then the
 contents of the jug, or portion, pour ed in the booth and the jug left there
 in expectation that it would be de-
 stroyed by fire and the strong trace
 of incendiarism removed. It is evident
 that if the match was applied the in
 cendisry must have made quick exit,
 for the fire had made but little head
 way when first discovered. Owing to
 tn electric light in the British quar-
 ters Dr. Scanlon hesitated about send
 ing in the fire alarm until he saw
 smoke in great quantity coming from
 the building
 At meeting of the British club Fri
 day evening the board of managers
 were authorized to offer a reward of
 $100 for evidence that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person who
 caused the fire. Although there has
 been internal dissension in the club
 recently. members assert that the best
 of feeling prevails, and no motive for the deed can be assigned.
