tree that the movement to uncover the old house
and erect lasting monument to the defenders
of the country who fell there has received such
impetus.
Mr. Higgins, who although of Irish extraction
is an ardent American patriot, was touched by
the survival of the old willow and looked upon IL
as a mute appeal to those now living to remember
the men who fought and died that the country
might become free forever. His attention was
called to the spot by book written by Miss Fra
yer In which she gives the history of the old Stone
house at Gowanus. Miss Frazer's attention was
first called to the house by painting executed
by Louis CRUDE in 1S46 at the order of George An
derson her grandunce. Miss Frazer spent her
girlhood at the home of her uncle, Thomas Easton
of Newport, r. l., to whom the painting had been
sent, and she took great interest In the picture
and the story attached TO it.
At dinner given recently by the prospect
Heights Citizens association at which Mayor
Gaynor, who is neighbor, present, Mr. H1g'
gins aroused the enthusiasm of the gathering by
his appeal for the restoration Of the old stone
house and the conservation OF the plot sur
rounding it to the memory of the revolutionary
heroes who fell there.
He said it was patriotic shame that the his
toric spot should have been neglected SO long

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. I had a physl-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts OF
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about
year and half of suffering he grew
30 bad that had to tie his hands In
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton.

my aunt advised me to try Cuti.

sent to drug store and got cake Of
Cuticura Soap and a box of the Oint-

end of two months the sores were all

of any kind since. / can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
