BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said 1t was eczema and from that time we doetored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison blt he only got worse. His face, head and hands were solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep we'll from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing.
 Finally I got set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited year and half to see if it would return but 1t never has and today his skin Is clear and fair as 1t possibly could be. l hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books.

OdkeS Family

Cakes, Oak. Oaks and Oke are vari ations of the name, which was orig inally Oak. a form found in colonial records Oakes and Oaks are the us ual present day spelling.
 Ac, or Ack. was an Anglo-Saxon word, meaning oak-the oak tree, and 1t formed part of many local names in Great Britain: Aekley, now Oak. ley; Acfield or Ackneld. now Oakfield: i: Acden, now Oakden; Acham, now Oak ham, and Holyac. now Holybrook, or Holyoake, or Holyoke.
 From residence in an oak forest. or near oaks, the family came to be called Oak. and all coats-of-arms of the family have borne oaks or acorns.
 Another theory accounts for the name Oak, as derived from the Gaelic ach or aueh. meaning a field
 In Somersetshire, there is an an cient parish called Oake; in Shrop- shire live the Oakleys. who trace back to Philip. lord of Oakley, in the time of Henry III
 Del Oke, or "of the oak" is a sur name found in old English records.
 Nathaniel Oak. immigrant, some times wrote his name Oake It was his son, Jonathan, who added s" to the name, Oaks or Oakes The Maine branch of the family has kept the original form, Oak
 Marlboro, now Northboro. not far from Boston, was the home of Nathan iel, who, in documents of the day. is called yeoman, planter and gentleman
 Ten thousand. a goodly army of Oaks, are the number of the descend ants Of Nathaniel. through his five sons If the children. to the present generation, of his three daughters. were included. the number would be 20,o00 or whereabouts. Nathaniel had 35 grandchildren and 193 great grand children.
 Revolutionary sires abound in this branch of the Oak family. Capt. Seth of the third generation was a soldier and his son, Calvin. served six days at the Lexington Alarm" his broth CT Nathaniel, entered the continental army when about eighteen years old
 Many well known as statesmen. pro tessional men and literary lights are found ill the family. Lyndon Oak was a power in Maine. in the business and educational world. and for half a cen tury dictator in state politics.
 The historian of the family was Henry Lebbens Oak born lS44. of the sixth generation. from Nathaniel, and of the Maine branch. When 25 years old he became librarian of the Ban croft library of San Francisco.

Jokn seems to be a favorite name with the Carpenters, and a fellow stu dent, and intimate friend of Prince Henry, afterward Henry ", was John Carpenter, who became bishop of Wor- cester He held his manor In Hereford shire, by the annual rendering of one bow of the value of two shillings. and one barbed arrow. valued at three pence.
 One of the first Of the Carpenters here was William, 1885. He was one of Roger Williams companions in Providence.
 All descendants of Samuel Carpen- ter have the way made plain to mem bership with the patriotic societies, for he was lieutenant governor and treas urer of Pennsylvania, besides holding other offices.
 The second wife of Gov. Bradford of Mayfower renown was Alice Car | penter.

 Motto: Audaces Fortuna Juvat-For- tune favors the brave. This coat-ar- nor IS blazoned by Burke, and by his torians of the Carpenter family 1t Is assigned to Samuel of Pennsylvania. In 1873 this coat-of-arms belonged to the Carpenters of Ellington, Hereford shire, and to the family to which Sam uel belonged, but it has never been settled where he came from. Some say from Surrey. Of the Ellington | Carpenters, George (for faithful sery- l ice rendered the crown) was created peer of Ireland, as Baron Carpenter of KiIlaghy, 1719, and his grandson, George, third baron was created Wis l count Carlingford and earl of Tyrcon- nel. 176l These dignities expired with l John Carpenter, fourth earl who died l 1855 A sketch of this branch of the family nay be seen In the British museum.
 In 1863 coat-armor was granted to William Carpenter, a gentleman of the kings priyy chamber. It was argent, a greyhound passant. and chief sable

Carpentras is town of Vancluse, France, and is identified with Carpen- toracte, a town mentioned by Pliny.
 That the name Carpenter, or Car pentier, as a surname. had its origin here. is not impossible. and the sug- gestion is offered for what it is worth. Carpentaria, Australia. was first called Carpenter, and thus named for Pieter Carpenter. governor general of the Dutch Indies in 1923
 No family in England stood higher for good deeds, or received more hon. ors from the king than that of the Carpenters. Among the first of whom any records have been kept was John Carpenter, born 1900; at 20 years of age he was an NJ. P His father, whose name has not been handed down, being known as the father of his son. was also prominent in affairs, and took active part In all matters relating to the crown"

Washington.-If congress wishes to go before the country with a record of full accomplishment for the ses- sion 1t will be necessary for It to do good deal of work within the next six or eight weeks. The house and senate have been in session since the first Monday In December and if the appropriation bills be eliminated. the number of measures which are well forward on the road to passage are comparatively few.
 It has been shown by the history of nearly all congresses that when the senators and the representatives make up their minds to go to work. and do 1t, they manage to get through with good deal of legislation in short order. The postal savings bank bill has passed the senate, but the house has not yet given it considera ton except in committee. The inter state commerce bill was introduced into the senate and into the house at virtually the same moment, and the two bills were identical. The house has made many changes in the meas urue. The senate also has made changes. but they are not in many respects like those which were made in the house

Attitude of Democrats.

It can be said without any partisan spirit at all that 1t seems likely the Democrats will be willing to aid the Republicans in the passage of some of the legislation now before con eress, although the Democrats may offer amendments to some of the pending bills.
 It Is apparent from what the Demo- crats say that they realize the coun- try has demanded some of the legisla- tfon which the president has asked congress to pass. The Democrats contend. however. that the Republi- cans will not put it through in the form that the people wish. and there fore the minority party will go on record as in favor of amending the present bills to some marked degree The Democrats, however. apparently do not care to go before the country in the light of having blocked such of the Republican legislation as appar- ently has been sanctioned by the country. So 1t is that the members ot both parties may get together and put through considerable legislation between now and the date of adjourn ment, and it is evident that it must be put through quickly or that con. gress will be obliged to sit until Washington swelters in it's usual sum. mer heat
The Forrest City times., 1910-04-08
No Conservation Bills Passed.

No conservation measures have yet passed congress. President Taft has been urging that at least two compre- hensiye bills shall be passed to save the country's natural resources. Near ly every day President Taft i'm presses upon members of congress who call on him personally the neces- sity for legislation along conservation lines. and 1t is apparent that he hopes his desires will be needed. It will take some time. however. to pass the conservation bill, for 1t appears that there Is to be considerable debate upon them before they can be enact ed into law
 No one yet knows definitely what fate awaits the administration de- sires with reference to what Is called anti-injunction legislation. Statehood and Alaska matters are still in abey- ance, and while to considerable ex- tent all these matters have been fully considered in committee and to some extent considered in debate, there is no telling just how long it will take either to pass them or to deny them passage.
 It is getting late in the season and a great many of the members of con- gress, both Democrats and Republi- cans, are anxious to get back into their districts to fix up their fences for the coming congressional cam paign. Of course 1t will be to the advantage of the Republicans if they tan go before the country and say, As party We have passed much of the progressive legislation which the platform sanctioned and which the president asked for"
