RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

II had eczema on my hands for ten
years. l had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box Of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles Of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out. and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before had used one
bottle. together with the Cuucura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time I had
used the third bottle. l was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get WELL My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
MY daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and In two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuucura for other members
Of my family and It always proved suo-
cessful. Mrs. NJ. f. Falin, Spesrs

Washington. - The Payne Aldrich
tariff law has produced in its first
year a revenue greater by S75,0OO,O0O
than the sum collected in any year in
the country's history except the ban
ner year of 1907, according to treas
ury department figures issued Monday.
The second year of the operation Of
the new tariff began Monday.
During the first full year, ended last
Saturday night, the total ordinary re-
ceipts, including customs, ordinary in
ternal revenue, corporation tax and
miscellaneous, aggregating sG7S.S5O,'
SIC. exceeded disbursements by s20,
214.029.
These ordinary receipts were
greater by sl5,OO0.OOO approximately
than during 1907. and the 1907 re-
ceipts exceeded those of any other year
of record by almost sGO.O0O,OOO. While
there was a deficit of s5S,73i,955 in
the ordinary operations of the govern
ment in the fiscal year ended June 80.
1909, there was surplus Of more than
s2O,00O,000 in the year ended last Sat
urday.
The corporation tax revenue was
s27.O9O,934, which is only 100000 less
than the amount assessed.
Lax methods no longer prevail at
the custom houses. 1t is said, and to
the rehabilitation OF the service and
the improved morals are attributed an
estimated augmentation of $4,000. 900
in revenues at New York alone.

getting results in flood of in

Advertising in newspapers and

There is hardly a residen: of New

Bureau of Immigration therefore
invites every man who has a

or who he thinks may be inter-
ested, to send that friends
name and address to the Bureau
at its Office in Albuquerque. New

G. z. MILLER WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER
Will Furnish Information TO
Those Interested

Santa Fe, n. M.. Sept. 10
Owing to the lack Of sufficient
and timely rainfall in various
sections Of the Territory dry
farming has not been as success
full during the past year or two
as could be desired. A number Of
these sections are so adapted, by
underground waters, that
system of pumping for irrigation
could be considered to advantage.
This Department is extremely
anxious to aid the citizens Of
such sections by placing in their
hands whatever information it is
possible to obtain along the lines
of pumping. We are starting a
campaign of spreading informa-
tion to this end and we earnest
ly solicit the cooperation Of
your valuable paper.
The plan is to secure the names
and addresses of people who are
interested in pumping, both
those who contemplate and those
who are actually irrigating by
this method. To these people
will be sent all the information
in the way of bulletins, articles
and machinery catalogues as can
be obtained in order to present
to them as many sides of this
system of irrigation as possible.
Would you call the attention
Of your readers to this work and
that we would like to receive
the names and addresses of those
people desiring this data?
Yours very truly,
@. K. Miller,
Assistant Territorial Engineer.
