BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

Our 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 a 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
very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years Of age and a 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 treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M

Moses Austin, Grandfather Of the

Former Republic Asked to Care tor
Missouri Home and Tomb OF Fa-
NOUS Pioneer Who Made Pos.
sible Its Founding.

Potosi, Mo.-Washington county or
ficials have recently appealed to Texas
state officials to arrange for that COM
monwealth to care for the grave and
home Of Moses Austin in this city.
Moses Austin was father Of Stephen +.
Austin, honored as the father OF Texas.
AS truly as Stephen F. Austin was the
father of the former republic and the
late state Moses Austin was its grand
father, for he did the preliminary
wark, made the treaty and Planned the
colony that made possible the work
of his son as founder of the repub'
lie.
1t is believed here that the recent
removal OF the body of Stephen +. Aus
tin from lonely grave in Texas
village to a state-built tomb in the cap
ital city that was named for him, ana
the memorial services in several cities,
will arouse sufficient interest IN the
Austin family to result in arrange
ments being made to care for the al
most dismantled tomb and the decay
ing log cabin, here.
The cabin stands on one corner OF
the public square of this city. 1t Is all
that is left of the once pretentlous
Durham Hall, Moses Austin's early-day
home. At the time of the Louisiana
purchase there was no more elaborate
private estate in the whole Mississippi
valley than Durham Hall, where the
owner entertained such notable men as
Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson and
Thomas H. Benton
Moses Austin, under grant from
the Spanish government, opened the
first lead mines and built the first lead
5melter in Missouri. He was at the
head Of the first bank established IN
St. Louis and was member OF the
drst Masonic settlement period.
He conceived the idea of settling
Texas with Americans, and 1t was
under a treaty negotiated by him
with the Mexican government that the
first American colony was established

A Garden e Friends.

One of the prettiest corners of a
certain girls garden is that in which
every plant has been the gift of some
special friend. The sweet old fashioned
flowers that bloom there have thus a
double significance, and their owner
persuades herself that while they
flourish she may be very sure that
she is not forgotten. A fragrant clump
of pinks was set in place by her dear
est school friend, and now that this
friend is living abroad, she likes to
think that every breath Of perfume
brings her a kindly thought OF her old
chum. A garden of friendship is a
pretty fancy and one that gives last
ing pleasure.
