AN ITCHING ERUPTION

MY baby boy was about nine
months old when he had a breaking out
on his neck which was very annoying.
IL used TO make him very fretfui and
cross because Il seemed to worry him
so much. q had my doctor look at
the baby and he told me it Yves eczema
and he wanted to treat il. But friend
OF mine told me she knew it could be
cured cheaper and IN much less .Ime-
SO l started using the Cutic,rra Soep
and Cuticura Ointment, which ! soon
found out was what ought to have had
before, for the eczema seemed TO Itch
so the baby could not keep his head still
and re was rubbing and twisting all the
time. I used the Cuticura Remedies
three times the first day end began 10
notice the good it was doing for be
began to get rest from rubbing his neck
so I used three cakes Of CuticsIra
Soap and too boxes Of Cuticurs ONT
racnt and now no one could tel that he
ever had any kind Of breaking out. and
since then I have never been without

Chances at Olympic.

A change occurs in the Olympic OH
today. several new acts being brought
into the show. The Texas Quartette
is said to be clever singing aggrega-
lion. The Lewises will be seen in the
comedy playlet. Grandpa" which is
said 70 contain realistic dramatic sit
uatiols and high class comedy and mas
a plot that unfolds story OF heart
interest.
The Great Barnett has proven very
pleasing with his combination OF
BLACK art" illusions and mysteries and
musical novelties. Beauty and the
Beasts" is quite a novelty in the way
of an animal act. A little girl only
10 years of age has two trained lions
and two bears, which she puts through
a number of entertaining tricks.
The above combination Of yaude-
vile acts. together with the moving
pictures, which contain one OF the
ever popular Biographs. should make
mp very pleasing bill for the Olympic
for the latter half of the week.

 M. Labori agreed that Minister Bar thou was dodsing the real issue, and he warned the majority to which the min i4ter belonged that 1t could not afford to be placed in an equivocal position before the country He said:
