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 tUable to put clothes
on her At first it Seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the I'M
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
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! 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 a fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura ONT
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-

however, that Mary could not resist
it, and one day her mother saw her go

Americas Opportunity in Turkey.


DIR. George Washburn, president of

1T is great opportunity, wonder

cially to Americans. They believe in
us now in Turkey. They trust us.
There is nobody they believe in and
trust as they do Americans in Turkey
They know that we have no selfish
ends in view there. We do not want
any of their territory; we are not
going to try to overthrow the Turkish
government; and they understand fully
that what we are doing there we are
doing for their good. They may think
we make mistakes, but they know we
are honest, and they know we are do

they trust nobody else, and conse-

wonderful opportunity, for us to go on
and to try to make the people under
stand who Christ is and what Christ is

He made careful search to find
some authority by which he would

he would have refused to issue the
execution, but he was unsuccessful.

To Abolish the Frank.

who has declared that he is going to
wipe out the annual deficit in postal
revenues. and, among other things, hopes
20 establish 1-cent domestic postage.
now proposes TO recommend to Congress
the ablition OF the frank. He does not
hope TO do away with the ranking privi-
Iege. but proposes a change In form.
There can be no doubt that the
ranking privilege has been most seri-
ously abused. 1t is not too much 10 say
that it has been used to defraud the gov
eminent out OF a great deal OF money,
and the worst Of It is that every one who
receives an improperly franked package
or letter realizes that the government is
being defrauded.
We know-it is a matter OF common
knowledge-that under the present sys-
tenn the frank has been diverted from
the purposes for which it was originally
designed. We have had Congressman
sending typewriters through the mails
under their frank; others have used the
frank to send out their laundry TO send
Christmas presents to their friends, to
say nothing of the tons upon tons OF
printed speeches-printed free through
special privilege AT the Government Print
ing Office and which, while supposedly
quasi-public documents. are. in effect.

believe. is an excellent idea. The stamps
should be of a special issue differentiating
them from the stamps used by the gen

College Training and journalism.

The San Francisco Argonaut publishes
an editorial on college Education and
journalism which is about as rabid an
anti-college utterance as we have seen
for long time.

If these remarks applied with equal
force TO other newspapers and magazines

rank in this country, they would be
most significant.
That they do not apply 10 the greater

few OF the Washington correspondents
are college trained, and are none the
worse newspaper men on that account;
and the same is true Of the working
stafrs OF the Washington press.
Mr.. Henry Watterson. in speaking OF
the newly established schools Of Journal
ism in various State universities. says:
Colleges that set out 70 teach Jour
nalism are plowiag a new field. Some
OF them. no doubt, offer less useful in
struction than they will when they have
learned more about the subject upon
which they give instruction. but il is
not reasonable to believe that the young
man who would be a journalist will be
handicapped by the training he receives
through the medium OF a special course

Journalism is sometimes charged. and
not untruthfully, with receiving into its
fold many young men who have had
varied but unsuccessful experience in
other callings. \ varied experience stores
the mind with knowledge OF men and
