the skin and peel of leaving the N
derEeath skin red as though it we're
scalds- Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On TOP Of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter Of an inch thick It was aw-
ful TO see so small baby look as she
did Imagine! The doctor vas afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then We decided to try Cutfcura
By using the Cuticura Ointment We
softened the scab and it came OF. I'm
der this, where the real matter was.
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
q 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
OF and heal underneath. Nov the
baby is four months old. She is a fine

AN INTERESTING
HISTORICAL WORK
Reply and Supplement to
"Reminiscences of Old
Greenwich"
AN EXCELLENT CHAPTER
Joseph Lyons Ewing Commends
Publication of Article History
Soon to Be Printed.

Editor Pioneer: | have read with
great interest the splendid article on
"Old Greenwich" in your issue of the
10th instant. AS a letter descriptive
OF the ways of the olden time, the
document is one of rare value and
should have a wide reading. The de-
scriptions in the article are chiefly
of Maskell Ewing and his household
This distinguished citizen of Cumber-
land County flourished more than a
hundred years ago.
The writer finds himself, specially
interested in the account given, since
this Maskell Ewing was his great
great great great grandfather. The
writer's interest in the family of this
name, once so prominent in Southern
New Jersey, has led him to gather
much material for Ewing Family
History. The work is about to be
published and will, with a great deal
of history and biography covering
other lines of the same family appear
in we'll bound volume upwards of
one hundred and fifty pages, within a
few days The production should be
Of value to any who are in any way
connected with the original Green
wich Ewing family, or are interested
in having a permanent record of such
historic events as the Tea Burning
at Greenwich, in Iva, and other mat
ters of early history of the county.
The book will contain reproductions
of number of old family letters
which are full of century old historic
data and breathe the spirit of the old
en- time The undersigned has pre-
pared the work chiefly for the sake
OF preserving full, unbroken gene
illogical line from the ancient Scotch
Irish stock, with Illuminating histor-
ical data, for his immediate family.
Since editing and arranging material,
he has decided to give permanent
book form to it. 1t will be a volume
of nearly one hundred and fifty pages.
well bound, gilt lettered, and illus
trated. Among its illustrations it will
contain photographs of Maskell Ew-
ing, and his wife Mary Padgett Ewing
whose home life was sketched in the
recent Pioneer letters. 1t will also
have in it the picture of their home
and that of Thomas Ewing, Jr. Also
the likenesses of Mary Ewing Findley
and the Honorable Thomas Ewing, a
grandson of Maskell, and who was
the first Secretary of the Interior at
Washington, under President Taylor.
Several other likenesses will also
grace the pages of the book.
Persons who may desire copies of
the forth coming volume of genealogy,
history and Renaissance may secure
information on the subject by COM
munication with the writer of this
article. Suffice it to say that the
book will never be secured through
any regular book market

COMPLEXION
FROM GARDEN

The vegetable garden plays a big
part in good complexion Though
one need not go to the lengths of the
vegetarian who thinks meat a deadly
sin, she who lives largely on fresh
vegetables and greens will show re-
suits is brighter color and clearer
skin
Y Spinach, carrots, parsnips, onions
and lettuce are the chief beauty
makers, though all summer vege-
tables, barring potatoes are valuable.
Besides being beneficial as food,
vegetables and fruits have well-known
cosmetic properties. Eat lettuce twice
day with French dressing, but do not
stop there-use the leaves as a lotion
or skin bleach.
Stewed to a soft pulp with a little
water and pushed through a coarse
sieve the juice left makes a cooling,
whitening wash for tanned and sun
burned skins. Less trouble and nearly
as good effect can be had by bruising
the leaves and rubbing them over the
face and hands.
AS a bleach alternate bruised let
tuce leaves one night with juice of
fresh strawberries the next; this
makes soft, white skin.
II you fear cucumbers as food, use
them for the complexion's sake. Gu
cumber Juice is the basis of many
good creams and lotions. If one does
not want to take the trouble to pre-
pare cucumbers try how your skin will
improve by rubbing the cut rind over
face, hands and neck. Let it remain
at least an hour and rinse with warm
water.
Watermelon juice and rubbing with
inside of a rind are excellent to
smooth and whiten the skin When
ever the melon is served do not omit
to use it externally

TO INVESTIGATE
ATLANTIC CENSUS
Officials Think the Figures
Too Big.
FEAR ERROR IS MADE
Belief Is That Figures for Atlantic
City Are Too Much in Excess
of O,00O.

Atlantic City, August 29.-The mys-
terious delay over the announcement
OF Atlantic City's new census figures,
when those of many other communi-
ties in the State have been published,
was explained yesterday, when it be-
came known that the Census Bureau
has communicated with City Comp
troller Heston on several different oc-
casions during the past few weeks
and informed him that the Atlantic
City census returns require investiga-
ton.
Asked if the reports were correct,
Comptroller Heston, when seen by a
Press reporter, admitted that they
were.
"One letter that | have received
from the Census Bureau states that
they question the Atlantic City canvas
and fear what amounts to an exagger-
ated total" stated the Comptroller.
"They use words to that effect.
MY personal opinion is that the At
lantic City returns have totalled so far
above $4,000 that the Census officials
cannot believe their own eyes and are
going to investigate" continued the
Comptroller.
This view also seemed to be shared
by others. In fact it is reported that
the canvass of the census officers
showed the present population to be
between $4,000 and $4,000 and the
Census Bureau, in the light of the
last census of about 3S,00O simply
cannot credit it. So remarkable has
been the growth of Atlantic City in
the past ten years, it is believed, that
the Census officials cannot compre-
bend such an amazing prosperity and
are suspicious of something wrong.
In the meantime, while the Census
Bureau is pondering over Atlantic
City's population, City Comptroller
Heston is withholding from the mark
ct over 100000 worth of municipal
bonds.
He has taken this step because the
city will be able to find a better mar
ket for its bonds if it can show a
population of more than $4,000. This
rs an infallible custom in financial
circles and since there is not the
slightest question about Atlantic City's
surprising the $4,000 figure when the
census is officially announced the
Comptroller does not want to sell the
securities until such time as it is Off
cially announced

At dinner at the Lambs Club one
actor said of another who failed in a

His idea of the part was so con-

groaned and muttered:

The taste in his mouth was horrible.

silverbacked hair-brush.

THE GROWING GIRL.

So many older women seem to think
that because girl of from Ia to 20
or so is likely to be callow and some
times forward and rather ridiculous
in her pretentions of age and dignity
she must be continually snubbed and
put down." They keep calling her
child" and laughing at her opinions
and criticisms, and leaving her out
of discussion and conversation, until
some day they awake with a start
to realize that the child is a woman,
and pert and embfttered woman at
that.
OF course, American girls are noto-
rious for their unpleasant presump-
ton, and there are many, many things
which a girl in her teens is not COM
petent to decide for herself let alone
for others; but there is no reason why
a girl who really is growing up should
be made to fell that she is always in
the way and must be patronized when
she is noticed at all Give her at least
a chance to feel that she is one of the
family and that she is step above
the children in the nursery, whom she
is likely to despise,
Here, as elsewhere, you will go
most safely in the middle" and this
rather delicate problem of maternal
management will settle itself if con-
sideration and common sense are
learned on one side and taught on the
other

JUNE EARNINGS
FOR RAILROADS
Results Financially of Oper-
atoms.
NET EARNINGS.
Higher Wages Have Had Effect Upon
the Net Increase in Earnings.

New York, August 28-Figures are
now available showing the financial
results of railroad operation in June
Returns from $4,000 miles of road
about 80 per cent. of the countrys
total mileage-show that operating
expenses increased $22,938,0S7, or
1886 per cent, over June of last
year. Thus, out of the $23, ,565, ,112 in
crease in gross, only $627,O25 was
saved for net. This represents an in
crease of less than per cent in net
earnings as compared with the same
month last year.
The wage advances had begun to
have decided effect upon operating
expenses at the beginning of this
summer, and this was one of the prin-
cipal causes of the shrinkage in net
earnings. The readjustment of wages,
however, did not reach it's final stage
in June. Some of the advances have
gone into effect, and others have been
announced, since the first of July, so
that the full effect is not yet apparent.
Some of the railroads whose June
net earnings fell off from June 1909,
with the amount of the decrease in
each case, are as follows:
Louisville & Nashville, $624,467; N.
Y. Central, $499,5O6; Illinois Central
$4S3,1O2; Pennsylvania, $439,471 New
Haven, $408, 11S; M. K. & T., $345,S58;
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake,
$330,914; st. Louis & San Francisco,
$314,176; Boston c Maine, $274,159;
Union Pacific, $233, S34; Great North
ern, $230,591; Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern, $2O9,643; Buffalo, Rochest-
er G Ohio, $226,100
Among the roads which made in
creases are the Chicago & North
western, B. C o., Missouri Pacific
Atchison, Denver G Rio Grande, Erie
Southern Pacific, and Rock Island.
