BABYS SCALP CRUSHED

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 a 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 Cutieura 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 of her head and new hair began to grow. In very short time she was we'll. She Is now sixteen years of age and a 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.

A Garder ai Friends.

One of the prettiest corners of a certain girls garden is that in which every plant has been the gift of some special friend. The sweet old fashioned flowers that bloom there have thus double significance. and their owner persuades herself that while they flourish she may be very sure that she is not forgotten. \ fragrant clump of pinks was set in place by her dear est school friend and now that this friend is living abroad. she likes to think that every breath of perfume brings her kindly thought oi her old chum.

 Seven years ago Shepperly found himself, no longer young man. out of employment. at the end of his re. sources and with no prospect of ob- taining work His wife and three young children were dependent on him. and he purchased a large tray. stocked it with chocolates, and took up corner in the city. He has re- mained in Lothbury ever since, and would not change his way of living except for something absolutely per manent
 Satisfied with an occupation that procures him a living, he has his books and his pen for intellectual companionship Every morning he gets up at three o'clock in order to read and write for some hours before taking up his stand on the street. He has written four one-act and two four act society plays. one of which has been highly praised by London man ager and a provincial manager.
 His library is small. but select: 1t includes a fine copy of "Oedipus Ty- rannus." in the original; an ancient copy of Horace is another treasure. At present Balzac is his delectation; he tells that he occasionally indulges in such Tight literature" Among modern authors. Carlyle is his favor ite and Meredith comes next.

IS A HAVEN FOR AMERICANS
island of Porto Rico Prophesied as a Future Mecca for Our Wealthy
 Citizens.

Washington.-Wi Within the next 50 years Porto Rico will be occupied ex- clusively by American million,ires. ac- cording to the opinion of Alfred Ze- vas. a resident of San Juan. who says that Americans already are awaken ing to the picturesqueness of the island. its climatic Inducements. and its generally healthy conditions.
 The wealthier people of America are gradually realizing what a great acquisition the island Is to the United States. Americans are looking for nlaces of beauty and rest. They are seeking places where they can get away from the ordinary. and for this reason I say" continued MT. Zeyas. Porto Rico will eventually be desig- mated as the mecca of America's rich Here they can motor through miles of mountains. where the scenery equals that of any part of Switzer- land The country is threaded with miles of good roads. the majority of which are macadamized.
 When the automobilist reaches certain attitudes in the center of Por- to Rico he can look to all sides of him and view the sea. Not only is the scenery of the island ideal. but the climate is that of perpetual spring. Not once in the last decade have we experienced storm which has caused material damage This mod crate temperature, coupled with the salt breezes, makes the climate exu. berating. American tourists already are visiting Porto Rico in large num- hers during the winter months

WHY NOT MAKE IT GENERAL?

The people of Garfi cid, this county,
some time ago entered vigorous pro-
test against the prices charged by
the Idaho-W ashington Light and
Power Co., and as a consequence the
meter deposit in that town has been
reduced from $40 to So and the
minimum charge for lighting has
been reduced to S1.25 per month.
These concessions being granted to
the people of Garfield, we should
have every reason to expect the
same treatment at the hands of the
company in Pullman, as well as the
numerous other towns which it sup
plies with electric current, and in
case the new schedule is not put in
to effect in all these towns it would
be well to follow the example of our
neighbors and make known our
wants in a way that will be under
stood
The following article from the Gar
field Enterprise tells of the conces-
sions made by the company at that
place:
In response to a request on the
part of the Idaho-W ashington Light
and Power Company for a confer
ence with the committee named sew
eral months ago by citizens to treat
with the said concern, a conference
was held last evening, at which time
Mr. Shields, on behalf of his COM
pany, made concessions which we
predict will be fairly satisfactory to
patrons, inasmuch as such conces-
sions cover two of the most impor-
tant points originally at issue-that
of the minimum charge and the met
er deposit The company has reced-
ed from its demand for a ten-dollar
deposit, the thing that was chiefly
responsible for the trouble, and al
so expresses a willingness to make
the minimum charge $1.25 instead
of $1.50. The com pany comedies a
meter deposit of five dollars, the
amount which the community agreed
upon as being reasonable. To make
matters uniform the company agrees
to refund, on or before January
next, five dollars TO those who have
paid a deposit of $40"

GOOD EXHIBIT OF LIVESTOCK
Pullman Man Tours State In Inter
est of Spokane Interstate Fair.

Professor W. T. Mcdonald, of w.
5. c., who is assistant manager Of
the livestock department of the Spo-
kane Interstate fair, has completed a
tour of Eastern Washington ana says
that the crop shortage of this year
will do much toward opening the
eyes Of the farmers to the POSSIBLE
ties for livestock in this state.
Il have just finished a trip
throughout eastern Washington, 3"
said Professor Mcdonald and al
most without exception | found that
every stockraiser who has any stock
worth showing is planning to eN-
hibit it at the fair. One reason for the
exceptional interest they are show
ing in this feature of the fair is the
fact that the dry farming exhibition
| will give them an audience of 4 ma
| tional character, which will result
in a big advertisement for the live
stock interests of the Inland En-
pire.
Another, and perhaps the chief
reason, is due to the fact that crop
prospects earlier in the season were
not nearly so encouraging on account
Of the drouth as they now are. Let
all indications be favorable to a bum
per crop and straightaWay the Inland
Empire farmer seems to lose all in
terest in everything but wheat. He
loses all interest in livestock and ey-
erything else that might add greatly
to his wealth. But if the outlook
for grain is discouraging he changes
front He begins to think, as he has
done this year, that livectock cuts
some figure and that he had best pay
more attention to diversified farm
ing if he wants to break even when
the crops are not breaking records
| SO everywhere | find farmers plan
ming on showing their stock, and as
result the exhibit is going to be
a wonder"
Professor Mcdonald is about to
make the rounds of the prospective
exhibitors on the west side of the
state and he expects to find the same
interest in livestock in the Puget
sound district
