NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, boy Of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try certain medical college,,
but Its treatment did no good. At
the time I was induced to try Cuti-l
cura he was SO bad that l had to cut
bis hair OF and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
Impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
OF skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass Of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and In removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreahng. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura ONT
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he is
entirely cured, and stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
Is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam.

then, no very definite data has been
developed to prove the superiority OF
either type over the other. The mono

two machines, as 1t more nearly re-

other hand, the biplane appears the
stronger, because Of It's truss" con.

KILLED IN TRACTION CRASH.
indiana Has Second Trolley Disaster
in Which Six Die.

Upton, Ind. - In collision on
the Indiana Union Traction road
two miles north of this city six per-
sons were killed and IL others more or
less seriously injured.
This was the second disaster on In
diana traction lines within week. the
first having occurred on the Wabash
Valley line at Kingsland on Wednes-
day. The death of Clyde Brown of
Warren, Ind, brought the number of
persons killed IN that disaster up to
H.
The two wrecks were brought about
under circumstances which were al
most identical In both cases there
was a mistake in the orders-one of
the trains overran the station at
which 1t was to stop and met the other
on a sharp curve in head-on COLI
sion.
Dr. w. G. Holthouser, who was killed
In the wreck, was on his way to Ko-
komo, Ind, where he was to have been
married His brother, who also was
killed, was to have been the best man
at the wedding The bride to have
been is Miss Nellie Coxon, daughter of
the secretary of the Great Western

Coxon was Frustrated when she heard
Of the death of her f1ance.
The collision was between north
bound limited passenger, train and a

motorpan had orders to wait at the
first stop north Of the crossing, it is
said, but overran that point, thinking
ne could make another switch:
A clump Of trees hid the approach
Ing cars and they came together at
curve. The freight train plowed
through the front of the limited, demol-
Ishing the smoker. The motorman and
all the passengers in the smoking Gem
partment of the limited were killed.

freight car jumped and were not in
jured.

GOT CASH FOR VOTE.
States Attorney Gets New Evidence in
Lorlmer Election.

Springfield, Ill. - According to
Special Assistant States Attorney
Breeze, his superior, States Attorney
Burke, Is in possession of new evil
dence that another member of the last
session Of the Illinois legislature re-
ceived $1,000 to vote for William Lori
mer for United States senator
The man who made this admission
Of receiving cash for his vote was
Charles S. Luke of Nashville, who
represented the Forty-fourth district
in the house, and who has since died.
Mr.. Burke obtained the knowledge OF
Lukc's admission some time ago, but
1t could not be used as evidence in
any pending criminal case.
It is pertinent, however, to the
broader matter of Lorimer's election
now under investigation by the sena-
torial committee in Chicago, and may
be used in that inquiry.

all the beet sugar interests, however,
and because of the comparative econ.
