NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son, boy of FIVE, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try certain medical college,
but Its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. I began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs Of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
Is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Inc southwest presents variety of topo-
graphic features, and many of it's economic
resources are closely related to them There
is great range in altitude with CORRESPONDING
variation In climatic conditions. One of the
most salient features is the wide, high plateau
or northern Arizona, which reaches an alti
tude OF 5000 feet. 1t Is surmounted by varI
GUS volcanic peaks, notably San Francisco
peak which is 1911 feet above sea level.
To the east this district merges into an
irregular series of high plateaus, constituting
the western half of New Mexico
To the vest and south it drops by huge
steps into The great region Of desert valleys
blossoms of Nevada. western Arizona and
southeastern California These deserts are
wide, long plains, lying between mountain
ridges of varying lengths and heights, ridges

and trend north and south.
Diagonally across southern California there
extends the long curVing ridge of the Sierra
Madre and San Bernardino mountains, be-
tween which and the ocean lies the large oval
area known as the valley of southern Califor-
mia This valley is the great citrus fruit dis
trict and Los Angeles.
There are two great rivers in the south
west, the Colorado and the Rio Grande The
Colorado river has been compared to the Nile
and the similarity is notable Both are
streams of the first rank rising in high noun
tains, and finally crossing a broad region of
semi-tropica nearly rainless deserts Both
empty into seas in nearly the same latitude
and their lower courses are through wide del
tas Of fertile soil. The annual overfows add
new sediments fertile with plant food and at
time favorable for the crops.
The agricultural capabilities are closely
similar, but while much of the lower Nile val
ley is utilized the Colorado valley is Just be-
ginning to be settled. The watershed area of
the Colorado, with it's two head branches, the
Green and the Grand, is over 200 900 square
miles, its course 1000 miles in length, and its
annual discharge is IL 900 900 acre-feet or
deep.
The sediment which II carries each year
into the gulf is estimated to be sufficient to
cover 50 square miles one foot deep. For 200
miles of its course across the high plateau OF
northeastern Arizona 1t cuts the wonderful
Grand canyon. which in places is nearly a
mile deep. South of the canyon 1t flows mostly
in broad valleys. but cuts through several des

The visitor to the southwest usually takes
keen interest in the Indians. who are numer-
GUS not only along the main lines of travel,
but in many remote villages. Some tribes,
notably the Apaches, who continued to be
troublesome until relatively recent date,
have become famous for the misdeeds that ma

and western New Mexico. Now, however, all
is peace and tranquility. The newspapers, es
pecially eastern ones, occasionally print &C
counts of uprisings, but these prove to be local
quarrels with few individuals.

Otter Greek has had more than its

about the Otter Creek matter is that
it has proven that Bob McCuen and

least one man in every town in Ver-

the finest water power in the state.
The bill was no quicker out of the
