they'd dress him up a little and have

Being a tall man, Mr.. Crouch was
compelled TO dodge several awnings in
his progress down the street. He did
it mechanically for a time until it got
on his nerves. Then he demanded of
d bystander IF they had ever heard
of an ordinance regulating the hang
ing of awnings in this remote burg.
Seven feet. sir, is the regulation
height" he insisted, and would have

not a cObblestone cross-walk attract

stones make cripples of the best of US.

Mr.. Crouch waited until about noon
before he started for his home in the
suburbs. He had wandered out Of the
business district before taking his car
one of which he missed because of
being on the wrong side OF the street.
''WhO says it's the wrong side?' he
yelled. Not on your life il amt. There's

M r. CROUCH alighted from an

humor one day last week. He had
been spending three months in the
east. and in every large city had loudly

In spite of his protests. he was

eler and Hunter.

+ Khartum, Egypt.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt arrived at this place on
Monday, and was received officially
by Gen. Sir Reginald Wingate. gov
ernor general of the Sudan, on be-
half of both the Egyptian and English
governments. The eX-president was
met here by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Ethel and by host of American and
European correspondents and numer-
Gus delegations of political and other
friends from the United States. In
fact this historic town is literally
filled with visitors brought here to
greet the returning traveller.
With his arrival at this place, Col.
Roosevelt completed one of the most
notable journeys through the wilder
ness of Africa that has been underta-
ken since the days of Livingstone and
Stanley. 1t was a remarkable jour
ney both in number of animals slain
and preserved as specimens, and be-
cause of it's lack of accidents and
sickness Of every kind. Ordinarily a
traveller, through the regions through
which Col. Roosevelt has passed,
comes out of the jungues loaded with
malaria and fever germs. Up to the
present time, neither Col. Roosevelt
nor any of his party have shown any
symptoms of having contracted any
of the numerous contagious diseases.

Representatives of the many tribes of
the desert have been gathered here

The town of Khartum is a mass of
color. Flags of Egypt, England and
America are everywhere, and the ex-
president has probably appreciated
nothing more than the opportunity of
visiting this historical spot
Khartum is virtually built around

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagips! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
we'll. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
