BABY's SCALP cRUsTED

sour 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, a
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 off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
q 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 five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cutieura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M.

Champion Maine Builder Comments on
Great Vessels Turned Out Now
adays-.His Views.

Bangor, Me.-With a record of Is
vessels designed and 56 built, John ].
WardWell of Roekland, is believed to
be the champion wooden ship design
er and builder of the Atlantic sea-
board If not of the United States.
His first design was made in 1873,
and two years later he took charge of
the construction Of his first schooner.
He was then but tWenty-one. s.
He had the distinction of designing
and building the first six-masted
schooner in the world. This was the
George W. Wells. At the time the
Wells was under construction the six
master, Eleanor A. Percy, was being
built at Bath, but the Wells went over
board first.
When he started work a schooner of
$50 tons was good-sized craft, while
the one of 100 tons was monster.
Today a schooner of 1900 tons is only
a moderate-sized craft, while the aver
age modern coaster is big enough to
carry $500 or 1000 tons of coal. Said
Mr. Wardwell in speaking about this
matter:
People get the idea that there isn't
much doing in the way of carrying
goods in wooden ships these days.
They don't understand it. It is true
that ships are not built as formerly,
but one of the new schooners carries
as much as did an entire feet of the
old-timers.
Just take the Palmer feet Of Il
schooners. Before they lost this last
boat, the Davis Palmer, the combined
carrying capacity of the IA was about
$4,000 tons of coal. Now, it would
have required about six of the schoon-
ers of the type used when I started
working, the kind which people are
talking about when they talk of the
decline of shipping, to carry thou
sand tons of coal.
ITO be fair, call it five Of them.
Multiplication shows that 1t would re-
quire feet of $50 of the schooners of
so years ago to carry the coal which
is lugged in the Ii vessels of the
Palmer feet.
Then there were the three vessels
of the Crowley feet, including the
Thomas w. Lawson. Their combined

FIGHTERS IN THE MAJORITY
Veteran Member of Congregation Was
Tired of Part He Had Been
Playing.

Representative Harry Maynard of
Virginia tells the story of how re-
ligious old negro in his district put
stop to the exercise of Christian char
ity in the congregation of which he
was a member. 1t seems that it was
a practise in the church to excom-
municate for one year any member
who had been guilty of blood fight"
that is, any man who had attacked
another with a pistol or razor.
At the end of the year, if the Of
fender wished reinstatement, he could
go to the ''mourners' bench, rise and
declare his repentance, and be forgiven
by the congregation. This went on
for many years At last young
darby who had been in particularly
Objectionable broil appeared for rein
statement The pastor made an elo-
quent appeal to the congregation and
everybody began to shout and say

1t was at this point that the old
negro arose and said holly:
