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 Rem edies. We at
once got a 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 of her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She Is
now sixteen years of age and 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 do for her. j. Fish and Ella M.

Lost Opportunity For Which
Vanderbilt Grieved.
William H.~Was Sorry He Did Not
Let New York Central Show 1t
Could Beat Pennsylvania's
Fast Mail.

ut has always been my impression
that William H. Vanderbilt grieved
more over an opportunity which came
to him and which he lost, and felt
more greatly Inundated thereby by
the sense that he had made mis-
take, than over any other event IN
his experience as the successor OF his
father. the Commodore, at the head OF
the Vanderbilt railways" So said to
me the late George c. Bangs. who in
the seventies became to all intents
and purposes the creator Of the coun-
try's fast railway mail service, and
who had as his assistant in the work
Theodore N. Vail, now head OF the
great Bell telephone system of the

not long thereafter, Mr.. Duff received
from the banking house of Morton,
Bliss & Co., in New York, a telegram
which read practically as follows:
''Will you accept the presidency of
the Union Pacific railroad, or will you
accept the vice-presidency, with full
power to act?"
Mr.. Duff. did not doubt the authority
of the banking house to make these Of
fers; it was the official banking house
Of the Union Pacific. But before an
swering the telegram he determined
to learn authoritatively whether or
not Jay Gould had secured a majority
of the roads stock. This within the
course of few hours he larned to be
the fact, and then, as Dr. Billiard re-
calls it, his father-in-law sent this an
swer:
Il decline to accept either PROPOSE
ton, because | refuse to stretch hands
across a directors table to take the
hand of a man whom believe to be a

Mr.. Duff's next act was to resign as
director of the Union Pacific, as he
said he would do z Jay Gould Sc

and. from that day he had nothing
more to do with the property whose
credit and solvency he had once saved.

less because Col. Lamont had receiv-

NEWSPAPERS TAKING 1T UP
Metropolitan DaiIies Giving Advice
How to Check rheumatism and
~ Kidney Trouble.

This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t is
intended to check the many cases Of
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made so many cripples,
invalids and weaklings of some of our
brightest and strongest people.
The druggists everywhere, even in
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
Ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The
dose Is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments In hospital
cases prove this simple mixture eff
fective in Rheumatism. Because Of
its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, it compels
these most vital organs to filter from
the blood and system the waste i'm
purities and uric acid which are the
cause of rheumatism. 1t cleanses the
kidneys, strengthens them and re-
moves quickly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders, Bladder

Astounded Grouer Cleveland

dent, or to other friends of Mr..
Brooks, who knew of his important
work during the campaign, President
Cleveland was persuaded that there
should be official recognition of what
Mr.. Brooks had done. especially as
he seemed fitted to become a valuable
public servant. So, in due course,
Mr.. Brooks was offered the appoint
ment of consul to Triest.
81 appreciate the honor" said Mr..
Brooks, "but / cannot accept the ap-
pointment for reasons that are entire
ly personal"
But" he was told, "the United
States is to have largely increased
commerce with Triest. the only Aus
trian seaport, and there will be fine
opportunities for good work there,
such as will surely lead to promotion
in our diplomatic service.
Still Mr. Brooks declined, and when
President Cleveland was told that the
offer would not be accepted, he In
ferred that 1t might be that Mr..
Brooks felt that the salary was in
sufficient.
81 will appoint him consul-general
at ST. Petersburg" the president said.
So once more, the offer of a place in
the diplomatic service, so important
as consul-general at the Russian CAPT
tai, was made to Mr.. Brooks, yet he
felt compelled to decline for reasons
which seemed to him imperative.
In the president campaign of
1892, when Cleveland was again a
candidate, he appeared at a public
meeting in New York City After the
great throng which had assembled to
hear the former president had de-
parted, and while Mr.. Cleveland was
waiting on the platform for his car
rage, Mr.. Brooks, who was present,
approached him.
"Mr. President" he said. IT am very
glad to see you again."
81 recall your face very well, but !
cannot recall your name" Mr.. Cleve-
land said, looking quizzingly, earnest
ly, at the man who had greeted him.
"My name is Frank H. Brooks, and
you may remember me as one who
was associated in an humble way
with the presidential campaign of
1884"
For an instant Mr.. Cleveland con-
tinued to look with intense inquiry
and question at Mr.. Brooks, and then
of a sudden recollection coming to
him, he seized both of Mr.. Brooks
hands with his own.
"Of course, recollect you now"
exclaimed Mr.. Cleveland, land l have

and unequalled and astounding ex-
perience had with you after / be-
