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 a 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 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 treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. j. Fish and Ella M.

SEARCH FOR GERMS

collected had passed through some
part Of the butter that was not in
fected before it was packed down. A
similar test was sure to produce germs
the next day.
This series of tests was continued
for ISL days, and the one-hundred-
and-fifty-first day was the last on
which active germs were found The
tests were continued for eight days
after that, but it was plain that the in
lection had died out.
The tests with the milk were made
in the same general way. Milk was
purposely infected and was then kept
in cool place and tested daily. 1t
was found that the germs survived
for forty days, and this was much
longer than milk ever would be kept.
No tests were made with cheese,
but enough was shown to convince the
department that dairy products as a
whole are a potent source of infection,
and that 1t is essential to sterilize all
milk as matter of public safety

Declares Finny Tribe Is Swept
Away by Goitre.

London.-Cancer experts on this
side think there must be some mistake
in Mr.. Taft's special message to con-
gress In which he asked for an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the investiga-
ton of cancer in fishes. Cabled re-
ports make the president say that
"close investigation of the subject of
cancer In fishes, which are frequently
swept away by epidemics of that dis
ease, may give us light upon this
dreadful human scourge." DR.. Bash
ford, director of the Imperial Cancer
Research Fund. says that there must
be some misconception here.
Fishes are swept away by goitre,
not by cancer" he says. 1.-THE miscon-
ception has arisen because cancer
sometimes follows upon goitre.
Il do not mean that cancer does not
attack fishes. but the subject which
has given rise to Mr.. Taft's request for
another laboratory is that of goitre,
upon which aspect OF the question the
Imperial Cancer Research fund has
been engaged for long time past. AS

Series of Experiments Made With
Milk as Typhoid Generator.
Microbes Found to Exist In Fluid
Kept Forty Days, According to
Report Of Agent of Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Washington.-In view of the fact
that much of the typhoid fever in
Washington has been traced to milk
infection, the department of agricul-
ture has made series of experiments
to determine how long typhoid germs
will remain alive in milk and butter
under ordinary market conditions. The
result is to show that the germs will
remain active in milk much longer
than milk is ever kept before being
onsumed-namely, forty days-and
that in the case of butter the germs
have been found active and ready for
business at the end of ISL days This
has led to an urgent recommendation
by the department for all handlers OF
dairy products to sterilize milk before
it is either sold as milk or made into
butter.
The series of experiments was car
ried on by Henry ]. Washburn of the
pathological division. He says the in
vestigations of the marine hospital
service in connection with typhoid In
Washington showed that for three
years there was an average of 10 per
cent. of the cases directly traeeable to
milk infection. Considering the fact,
he says, that typhoid is disease that
is present throughout the country all
the time and everywhere, this 10 per
cent. of infection represents an i'm
mense amount of preventable sick
ness He thinks that Is per cent.
would not be an excessive rating as
the proportion of typhoid due to dairy
infection.
The department tried one expert
ment to see whether pure milk from
cows ever carried typhoid. For this
test a preparation of active typhoid
germs was fed to a COW and her milk
was tested It was found, however,
that the stomach of the COW seemed to
throw off the infection and nothing
harmful was found in the milk 1t is

and 1t was found that clean milk In

1908. when the great lyeyasu made II

In our childhood, we all heard OF the

many Of us have wondered that 1t no

the fact that it is the present city OF

from 1903 until 1868 During all that
time Japan had two capitals, the old
Mikados capital of Kyoto and the
new Shogun's capital of Yedo. Since
1868, with the restoration of the
Mikado to actual power, the seat OF
his government has been shifted and
today Kyoto lives upon its past glory.
