Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema

The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few

the skin and peel off, leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw with
out skin from head to foot. On top
of her head there appeared heavy
scab a quarter of an inch thick. It
was awful to see SO small a baby look
as she did. Imagine! The doctor
was afraid to put his hands to the
child. We tried several doctors rem
edies but all failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticu-a.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm

by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared We also
gave baby four drops Of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old She is fine

well. We only used one cake of Cuti-

CANNIBALS IN NEW GUINEA.
There are a few native villages
around Kerema, Papua. all friendly
to the Government, which they regard
as their chief protection from the
mysterious and much-dreaded Kuku-
huku tribe. These Kukukukus sound
more like something out of a mediae-
val goblin story than anything mod
ern and real. They are cannibals,
and live high up in the unexplored
ranges one can see from the shore.
Their neat yam and taro gardens
checker the upper peaks like the tiny
squares on plaid coat, suggesting
that the cannibals are industrious
and orderly, and fond of a relish with
their food.
At times they descend i'll small ac-
tive parties upon the tribes of the
coast, and stalk them from the shell
ter of the bush, until an opportunity
occurs of cutting off one or two alone.
They are little, quick and cunning,
and their death-dealing raids often
take place without exciting any sus-
picion on the part of the victims
friends, until gaps among the ranks
of familiar faces tell their silent tale.
Not long before our visit they made
descent down to the very beach,
hidden by the forest. darted out, cap
tured two of the children play" on
the shore, and vanished with their
prey before any one in the village
had time to take alarm. The other
children told the tale. and the magis-
trate went out, with handful of ma
tive police, to ambush the slayers by
night on their way back to the hills,
and capture them, if possible.
A volley fired in the dark was the
only punishment the cannibals re-
ceived, however, for they discovered
the ambush and got away in their
usual mysterious fashion before the
police could follow up their fire.
Traces of blood on the path showed
that it had been effective, but the
wounded or dead were spirited away
with the rest. Some of their goods
were found abandoned on the track
pipes, spears. betel-nut bags-and,
among the other matters, two neatly
tied-up parcels, which, on being
opened, were found to contain the
bodies of little boy and little girl
cut into pieces.
Until last year no white man and
few natives had even seen a Kukuku-
ku, though they had been the scourge
of the district for years. One or two,
however, were captured at last and
taken to Port Moresby Jail to serve a
term of Imprisonment They proved
to be small. active. ugly men, very
wild and uncivilized, and so nervous
that they tremble all over when
looked at.--Wide World Magazine.

ENORMOUS PROFITS in MOVING PICTURES
Thomas Edison As Inventor Gets About $1,000 Week. Nearly $685.
600 YearRecognzed Producers Get Injunction Against Un
authorized Traders Now Some $4,000 Shows in This Coun
try Which Exhibit Motion Pictures

New York City.-Since the settle
ment not long ago of the differences
between Thomas A. Edison and the
Biograph people and various indie
pendent moving picture companies,
which resulted in Mr.. Edison reaping
profits of his genius and industry,
settlement which followed q Federal
Courts affirmation of Mr.. Edison's
patent rights. peace had promised to
reign among the manufacturers of the
pictures for the first time in nearly
fifteen years. But a few months ago
a number of new manufacturers
sprang up who, it is charged. boldly
infringed upon Mr.. Edison's patents
and set about justifying themselves
on the ground that. as they alleged,
the eleven manufacturers in this
country and Europe who since the
settlement have been paying Mr.. Edi-
son royalties were violating the Sher-
man antitrust law.
It is declared that these men repre-
sented that they would either break
up the settlement or force Mr. Edison
to open his patents to them. This idea
of contending that the exercise of an
inventors patent rights led to VIOLA
ton of the Sherman law was the only
novel feature in the litigation, which
resulted in decision by Judge Moves,
of the United States Circuit Court,
that an injunction should lie against
the group of defendants, who adj
mittedly have been infringing upon
Mr.. Edison's patents, the defendants
being Carl Laemmle and the hide
pendent Moving Picture Company of
America, of which he is president,
and the Photograph Company.
The president of one of the COM
panies which are paying royalties to
Mr. Edison said: You may see
at a glance that with the 100000
or 100000 persons who make up
the daily attendance of the 10000
moving picture theatres in this coun-
try the question of the supply of these
films is a matter of wide interest.
But there is more intimate interest
for the great bulk of the American
people who admire Thomas A. Edi-
son, and that part of the story has
never been told. Mr. Edison has al
ways given his patents to the public
or told the public of his achievements
almost before he had the patents out
and before he had organized any COM
panies to operate under them with
the result that in no single instance,
l believe, has he reaped the undis-
turbed benefit of his brain work.
Now, until the settlement of the
moving picture patent dispute in his
favor, which resulter in the union of
the Edison and Biograph Companies
in the Motion Picture Patents Com
pany-the plaintiff in the action just
decided by Judge Noyes-he wasn't
getting anything from his moving pic
ture invention and was involved in
costly litigation. Since then these
concerns have been payin1; him royal
ties: The Biograph Company, the
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1910-03-18

Edison Manufacturing Company. the
Essaney Film Manufacturing Com
pany, the Gaumont Company, the
Kalem Company, George Kleine, the
Lubin Manufacturing Company,
George Melies, Pathe F-eres, the
Selig Polyscope Company and the
Vitagraph Company of America, eight
of them being American concerns and
the others European interests.
And here is what the business
amounts to in dollars and cents:
Twenty productions are issued each
week in this country. Each is of 900
feet of film, making $4,000 feet, and
eighty of each are issued, making t.
400 feet. On this production a
royalty of one-half cent per foot is
paid to Mr.. Edison, giving him from
this source a weekly revenue of
$1,000
Since the settlement under which
these royalties are paid there has
arisen a swarm of people, of whom
Carl Laemmle is one, who have gone
into the business of supplying moving
picture films in which they had to
violate Mr.. Edison's patent rights.
In the course of it they have taken
from the concerns already enum-
Grated some of their employees and
actors, paying them preposterously
high prices, and then in some cases
letting them go after having used
their talents and information for a
short period. Their main contention
before the public and the profession,
or business, has been that the con-
ln tor
were violating the Sherman law and
would sooner or later have to quit,
while really these concerns are using
patents on which they are paying
royalties.
THE matter just decided by Judge
Noyes was an action by the Motion
Picture Patents Company against
Carl Laemmle and the Independent
Moving Picture Company and against
the Photograph Company. The Judge
has ruled that the validity of the pat
ent in question has already been adj
Indicated, and he adds, and infringe
ment on the part of the defendant
corporations is conceded. He also
says: I am also of the opinion that
the charge, if established, that the
complainant is itself, or is a member
of, a combination in violation of the
Federal antitrust statute, is not a
defense available in an action for the
infringement of patent and fails to
show a defect in the complainant's
title. An injunction against the de-
PENDANT corporations may therefore
issue. The proof of personal in
fringement by the defendant Laemmle
is, however, deemed insufficientto war;
rant the issuance of an injunction
against him and it is denied But
this action is without prejudice to the
right of the complainant to renew
his application in case future acts
of personal infringement are dis
closed"
