MOTHER TELLS HOW
CUTlCURA CURED BOTH

"yVhen my boy was years old he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly
in bed, for the itching was dreadful.
He would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that on1y made them
worse. A doctor treated him and we
tried almost everything, but the &C.
zema seemed to spread. 1t started in
a small place on the lower eXtrem-
tiles and spread for two years until it
very nearly covered the back part of
his leg to the knee.
Finally 1 got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions.
used them in the morning and that
evening, before 1 put my boy to bed, l
used them again, and the Improvement
even in those few hours was surpris-
ing, the Inflammation seemed to be so
much less. l used two boxes Of Cuti-
cura Ointment, the same of the Pills
and the Soap and my boy was cured.
My son is now in his seventeenth year
and he has never had return of the
eczema.
II took care of a friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and 1
used the Cuticura Soap and ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re-
turned. / would recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to anyone" Mrs. A. ].

MESERVE SAYS CHARGES
FOR SPRAYING ARE FAIR
County Horticultural Commissioner
Explains Cost of Graduating
Insects

A. r. Meserve, county horticultural
commissioner, stated yesterday that he
is now causing the inspection of all
trees throughout the county and serv-
ing notices on owners to eradicate
scale or insects wherever discovered.
A fumigating plant and spraying out
fit says the commissioner, has been
installed in Los Angeles, whereby per-
sons not able to do the work them
selves may have it done at " nominal
expense. Fumigating will be applied
to citrus trees; spraying to other fruit
and shade trees.
Referring to the complaints that
bro, ght the workings of the horticul-
tural commission to the attention of
the grand jury, Mr.. Meserve says the
prevalent idea that the cost of spray
ing and fumigating is eXtortionate is
erroneous. The cost of spraying, he
adds, is from 25 to rs cents for fruit
trees; so cents to So for sLade trees,
and fumigating citrus trees from 80
cents to $1.50 a tree, the prices varying
according to the size of the trees.

CHINA TO

Pasadena, Cal, July 13.-China
for the Chinese and death to further
foreign territorial and industrial ag-
gression is the slogan of the new
China" according to the Rev. Rob-
ert ]. Burdette, writer and lectur-
er, who is at his home here today,
following a five-months' tour of the
Orient.
DR.. Burdette believes that the pc
riod of concession-getting and trade
development in China, so far as for
eigners are concerned, is drawing
rapidly to close. He predicts that
further attempts to widen the foreign
selvedge along China's border may
result in continued uprisings there.
"China has seen practically every
one of it's best ports taken by other
nationsp Burdette said, until 1t
has left as little water front worth
having as Jersey City. This and the
exploitation of China's resources by
foreigners is responsible for the Chi
nese unrest.
