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 it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but 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 well 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 got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see If it would return
but it never has and today his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

TIPLEss HOTEL is A SUCCESS
Experiment in London Has Worked
WeII-Guests Must Abide by
Rules or Quit HosteIry.

London.-The experiment of non,
tip hotel in the Strand in London has
proved success. Since the establish
ment was opened year ago there has
not been vacant bedroom, a record
which could not be equaled by any
other London hotel Every day the
management has had to refuse visit
ors. Altogether nearly a quarter of a
million guests have stayed at the hotel
during the 344 days it has been open.
The success of the hotel, the direc-
tors believe Is mainly due to the nom
tip rule. Guests are forbidden to offer
to any servant of the hotel graf
uity. and any servant found accepting
one Is instantly dismissed. People
know exactly what 1t is going to cost
them before they set foot in the hotel.
and when they pay their bill there Is
no need for them to put their hands in
to their pockets to tip anybody.
Although the rule against tipping Is
rigidly enforced by the management,
there have been visitors who have in
sisted upon offering gratuities. In or
der to protect the servants from temp
tat1on the management has had to re-
quest these visitors either to abide by
the regulations or to seek accommoda-
ton elsewhere.
The management has had no difficult
ty in securing plenty of walters and
chambermaids despite the fact that
they receive no tips.
