NO NIcARACUAN FHBUSTER.
If,iIitia Officers Deny Report of Mica.
raguan FiIibuster.

Chattanooga.-Ofiicers of the Ala
bama, South Carolina and Tennessee
militia deny in no uncertain terms
the report which has been spread to
the effect that companies may be or
ganized during the present encamp
ment for the purpose of making q
filibustering expedition to take part
in the Nicaraguan revolution.
In the first place, they say. such 6
move would not be seriously consid.
cred by the militiamen as they are
under oath to serve their respective
states and the United States for diff.
ferent terms of years, and they could
not leave the country to engage in a
war with any country until first OBJ
tanning their discharge from theii
present commands. That they would
desert the National Guard to secretl,
leave for Nicaragua and engage in
warfare is a possibility which the Of
ficers say is too remote TO even dis
cuss. 1t is believed that the report
spread as the result of camp fire con
versatioDs by some of the young mem
bers of the guard, who had been fol
lowing the careers of various soldiers
of fortune in fiction.

The sentiment was expressed by

of anything that it is found they are
entitled to, but that an effort should
be made to prove that an increase in
rates on all lines is not justified.

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
r 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 treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella NJ.
