WOODROW WILSON SCORES

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-The man
whom the bankers of sNew York ap-
plauGed most at the annual dinner oil
their association last night was their
severest critic, Woodrow Wilson, pres
ident of Princeton. He termed them
the narrow inhabitants of a provincial
city. and called upon them as the lead
ers of the country's financial undertake
ings to develop true craftsmanship.
Il am called upon to attend the din
ners of.many different kinds Of organi-
cations, mostly those of men engaged
IN some particular calling" began DIR.
Wilson, and / am tempted to question
whether In UGH an association as this,
gathered together on the basis OF a
common occupation, there Is not some
danger. l am not sure that you, as
bankers, a regard the problems OF
this country broadly enough.
There ought to be = particular
craftsmanship developed by each great
calling. In no calling is this more true
tan among bankers. Ifhave been led
sometimes to think that bankers dc
not trust the country, and that Is why
the country does notStrust you. 1 dc
know hat there is too great a concen.
tration Of the thinking of bankers in
the city of New York"
The speaker hen went on to say
that New York did not understand the
country, that in concentrating itself or
its own great problems it had become
provincial. He deplored the fact that
the greater part Of the funds of the
country should be handled in this pro.
vincial place. in a provincial manner
and he declared that if, the bankers O
New York were to keep the presidenc,
In banking affairs OF the nation they

terprises, as well as the big: that the
future Of the country lay in the hands
OF the little borrowers. He continued;
This country will never be satisfied
and ought not to be satisfied with am
banking reform which does moi put al
the banking resources at the command
of tie people. The only institutions
that are doing this today are the in

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, q 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 a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time I was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that / had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment or him on bandages, as it 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 ore mass OF
sores. The bandages used to stick 10
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin OFF with them, and
the a from the poor child were
heartbreaking. / began TO think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura ONT
ment / began to sec 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 erected. Robert Wattam,
