BABY's SCALP cRUsTED

"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 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, q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose Of the Cuticura 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 well. She Is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture OF health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about I'VE 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. J. Fish and Ella M.

Noses Austin was father Of Stephen r.
Austin, honored as the father Of Texas.
As truly as Stephen #. Austin was, the
father Of the former republic and the
late state, Moses Austin was its grand
father, for he did the preliminary
wark. made the treaty and planned the
colony that made possible the work
Of his son as founder Of the repub-
lie. X
It Il believed here that the recent
removal Of the body of Stephen F. Aus
tin from a lonely grave in Texas
village to state-built tomb In the cap
ital city that was named for him. and
the memorial services in several cities,
win arouse sufficient interest In the
Austin family to result in arrange

most dismantled tomb and the decay

IS A HAVEN FOR AMERICANS.
Island Of Porto Rico Prophesled az
Future Mecca for Our Wealthy
Citizens.

Washing ton. Within the next so
years Porto Rico will be occupied ex-
clusively by American millionaires, ac-
cording to the opinion OF Alfred Ze-
vas. 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 great
acquisition the island is to the United
States. Americans are looking for
places Of beauty and rest. They are
seeking places where they can get
away from the ordinary. and for this
reason say" continued Mr.. Zeyas,
Porto Rico will eventually be desig-
mated as the mecca Of Americas 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

About Horseshoes.


Horseshoes are lucky hung up over
a door because they keep the devil out
Of the house. 1t happened in this way:
Good st. Dunstan was a famous black
smith, and the king Of evil, who used
to travel around the world in person
before he became so busy, stopped at
the saints forge n day and asked
the blacksmith to put a shoe on his
hoof. st. Dunstan knew the person he
had to handle. He took the ropes that
he used to tie horses with and bound
the devil so tightly that that gentle
man could not move. Then the saint
set to work. The devil roared and
screamed as St. Dunstan put a redhot
iron shoe yer the hoof and pounded
it in with long nails. He pleaded with
his captor to let him 60, promising
anything in return.
If I let you CO." said st. Dunstan.
twill you promise never to enter a
house that has a horseshoe nailed over
the door?"
