NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son. 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. 80 bad that had to cut
his hair OF and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t 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 one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and In removing them 1t used
to take the skin OF with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times. but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he is
entirely cured. and q stronger and
boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected Robert Wattam,

liam Washington, and when he visited Charleston
In the year 1925 he was a guest at the Ancrum
residence, Mrs. Ancrum, the mother of Mrs. Da,
wilson. being daughter of Colonel Washington.
Mrs. Davidson, then a child six or eight years
old, remembered the visit perfectly and kept
until she died present which Lafayette had
given to her, the grandchild of his old friend and
comrade In arms.
There is no statue of Washington in Lafayette
square, though one day there may be- for It il
put elsewhere and George Washington may take
his place. The nearest physical approach, 30 to
speak, that one gets to the first president, in La-
fayette square, is in the White House, which
fronts 1t. It may not be generally known that the
White House was completed before Washington
died. 1t was only few days before his DEATH
as Washington tradition has 1t, that George and
Martha Washington walked through the recently
completed White House, to give their approval
or disapproval. as 1t may be. Of the arrangement
OF the rooms. It is possible that that visit to
the capital was the last which the Father
of his Country made for It was only a short time
afterward that he died at his country seat Mount
Vernon
Reference to Mount Vernon brings to mind
the fact that there is living In Washington today
an aged man named John Lane, who is the only
living person who ever saw George Washington
Now inasmuch the Father Of his country died
Ill years ago. this may to be something
pretty close to a false statement on its face but
1t is the truth nevertheless
When John Lane was a small boy the driver
of stage that ran between Washington and
Mount Vernon asked the lad II he wanted a ride
and the answer was hasty climbing up to the
seat of honor by the driver. The boy made the
trip all the way to Mount Vernon and arrived
there just as they were removing the body of
Washington from the old tomb to the new one,
In order to make certain that the remains had
not been tampered with by ghouls who not long
before had broken into the old tomb the conn
was opened and John Lane. aged ten was lifted
up to look on the face Of the Father Of his Coun-
try. Mr.. Lane today IL the only person who

This house was built by Commodore Stephen De

tails that he went forth year later to meet his
death at the hand of James Barron also a naval
ofacer, who had challenged Decatur to a duel. It

known to all. but It might be said that 1t was
Barron who was In command of the United

Books have been written about Lafayette
square, but the stories that told about the
men whose statues are in the square, and about
the men who lived In the houses surrounding It,
are endless, and not all of them, perhaps, have
found their way into print. The statue OF Lafay-
ette was erected at one corner of the square not
long after the statue Of Andrew jackson had
been put in place in the center Of the square,
