ment of the resources to pay tribute

BAbY'S SCALP ALL
CRUSTED OVER
With Eczema That Broke Out when

Chance of Cure Seemed Slight.
CURE BY CUTICURA
EASY AND COMPLETE

"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
eyes became crossed from the disease
and her scalp was q 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 an advertisement Of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. We at once got cake
of Cuticura Soap, box OF Cuticura Olnt-
ment and one bottle OF Cuticura Resolv-
emit and followed directions carefully.
After the first dose of the Cutlcura tie
solvent, we used the CutlcuTa Soap freely
and applied the Cuticura Ointment.
Then she began to improve rapidly and
In two weeks the scale came Oh her head
and new hair began TO grow. In very
short time she was well. Her eyes were
perfectly straight when she recovered
and have been so ever since. She is now
sixteen Gears Of age and is picture OF
health. We know the Cuticura Rene
dies cured her and have used them in
our family ever since.
I'VE used the Cuticura Remedies
about five weeks, regularly, and then
we could not tell she had been affected
with any disease. She suffered with
burning and itching and hard, scsly,
dandruff looking scabs all over her head
and in places on her body. We used no
other treatments after we found out what
the Cuticura Remedies would do for her.

GUARDSMEN'S STANDING
Adjutant General Wedgwood Says
State Militiaman Ranks Equal
With Regular Army Officers.

A query put to Adiutant General E.
A. Wedgwood of Utah resulted in that
officer sending out circular letter in
which he declared that the officer of
the National Guard is entitled to the
same consideration as the wearer of the
shoulder straps in the regular army, as
long as their wearer makes good,
In the letter is pointed out the fact
that the insignias of rank of commits
stoned officers of the United States is
prima-facie guarantee that the wearer
is not only an officer, but a gentleman
and a scholar, and there are but few
places where he is not cordially well
coined and extended every courtesy. In
the long run, however, he must, by his
personality, make the guarantee good.
Under existing militia social and bust
ness law, an officer of the National
Guard stands on exactly the same foot
ing, unless he shows that he is not en-
titled to.
That the decision of Adjutant General
Wedgwood is perhaps the first of the
kind ever given In the United States is
evidenced by the fact that the Assn
ciated Press has scattered the text of
this decision broadcast over the United
States. General Wedgwood stated last
night that he had not intended the cir
cular for newspaper publicity, but in
asmuch as the matter had gotten out
he said that his statements had the
backing of the law in the matter.
Half a lifetime of conscientious work
and endeavor is hardly sufficient" says
the adjutant general, Ito give man
the standing as a man of honor and Z
gentleman that the insignia of a COM
missioned officer guarantees, as long
as their wearer makes good"

UTAH FIVE IS HOME
Won Intermountain Championship
By Defeating Montana Aggies-
Other Teams Back Out.

The University of Utah basketball team
which left last Thursday to play with
some of the crack teams of Montana and
Idaho returned 10 the university Tues
day morning. During the trip the team
played two games of ball, one with the
Montana Agricultural college and the
other with team in Shelley, Ida, win
ming both.
When the team left for the north one
game was scheduled with the Montana
Aggies, one with a team in Butte and
one with the Shelley team, and others
were expected. The first game was played
of 81 TO 10. The Aggies were the cham
epions of Montana and the defeat at the
hands of the university boys was the first
time the school had been defeated in five
years. When the news of the defeat
Aeached Butte, the Butte team refused TO
play giving as their excuse that they
were out OF condition and that a game
would not pay expenses. The university
men attribute the loss of the game TO a
bad case of cold feet on the part OF the
Butte team.
From Butte the team went to Shelley,
where the crack Idaho team was defeated
by a score of 50 to n. This was the worst
defeat the Idaho team ever received and
best team In the Rocky Mountain schools.
Coach Joe Maddox did not return with
the team, but stopped off at Mackey to
spend a few days with Mrs. Maddox,
who is visiting with her parents. The
coach will return TO the university on
Thursday. The Montana games are the
last the Utah team will play this year.
They viii take a short rest and begin
at cnce on track and baseball work.
