BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got. cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years of age and a pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would dofor her. J. Fish and Ella M.

MORE HOTELS.

There were some people who insisted
that Fargo was overriding the hotel
business and there would never oe
enough people in Fargo to keep them
going. They are not saying anything
now. Every place that could furnish
a bed for a stranger was in demand
this week. The hotel facilities were
overtaxed and the residents had to
throw open their homes to the city's
guests.
The numerous attractions and the
ideal weather conditions brought Iarg-
er crowds than even the most enthus-
iastic boosters had anticipated. The
original Tri-State convention has de-
veloped SO many side issues that 1t is
really a grand mid-winter exposition
and the crowds are growing larger each
year.
Fargo has the reputation of being
the best hotel town In the northwest
but there is still room for more. The
people who invest their money in no.
tel and rooming property cannot go
far wrong.

REcLAIMINo WORTHLESS LAND


While this fuss over theories OF for
estry and the conservation OF our nat
ural resources is going on--one gets a
significant practical demonstration now
and then of real accomplishment with
out SO much footing Of trumpets. A
hint as to what can be done in the way
Of retaining land once regarded as
valueless, is furnished in the report
from New Orleans showing some of the
results of draining swamps in that To-
cality.
There were about 100000 acres of
marshes i'm Louisinana. There are "A
great many acres still, but the original
area has been considerably lessened.
And in place of the swamps there are
some OF the most fertile and produc-
tive truck farms and sugar plantations
in the country. The early operations
of draining swamps were expensive,
and that made the redeemed land cost
ly. But just the same the profits have
been great and the farmers who lease
or own the sections count themselves
fortunate.
Some of the figures are surprising as
indicating the gains from this source,
and as there are about 100000 acres
readily available through reclamation
a, big and prosperous community is
likely to develop in that quarter. IT.
rigation and drainage are twin powers
in working wonderful transforma-
tions.

great majority of the public-are to
rise in their power and do something.
The foregoing is true If the plans to
organize a National Householders'

There is generally smile of disdain
when any one suggests plan by which
the people ss whole can better their
onditions-without official action. The
general belief is current that everybody

Something. however, may come of
the suggestion from Washington that a
National Householders' league be es-
tahlished. 1t is the hope that the men
and women of the entire country can
be enlisted in the battle. The purpose
OF the league will be to reduce the cost
of living. Most people are firmly con-
WINGED that the present cost is too
high.
The members propose to remedy this
by boycotting-not the firms or trusts
--but the goods that are sold at too
high a rate. In other words when a
certain article gets beyond the financial
resources OF the purchasers the league
