NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, a 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 certain medical college,
but It's treatment did no good, At
the time I was Induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it 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 off with them, and
the screams from the poor child wer-
heartbreaking. began to think that
be would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura ONT
ment began to see signs of improve

Applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment Now l can say that he Is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam.

tuberculosis In the West Indies.


Associations for the Prevention of
tuberculosis have been formed in
Cuba, Porto Rico and Trinidad. In
Cuba there are over 10000 deaths from
tuberculosis every year, and the death
rate from this disease is nearly three
times as high in the United States,
In Porto Rico there are over 5000
deaths every year out of 100000 in
habitants. In Trinidad, the death rate
from tuberculosis in Port-au-Spain, the
only place where figures are available,
was Ats in 1909, nearly three times
the rate In New York city. Condi-
tons in the other islands of the West
indies, where no active campaign
against tuberculosis has been under
taken is even worse. The chief rea-
son for this high mortality is found
in the unsanitary, dark, and poorly
ventilated houses of the natives of the
islands.

business of road building. The logic
and Importance in the outcry for
"goodroads" is universally admitted;
but everybody's business comes peril
ously near having nobody's attention.
Some communities, townships, coun-
ties and few states have made more
or less real progress towards improv-
ing the highways locally. Where the
states take hand beginning is made
towards obtaining through routes.
But, despite all that has been said for
a revival of road building, notwith-
standing editorial support from publ
cations of all partisan shades, the
movement as yet has no central Or
ganization which presses the work

The republic contains more than half

America, indicate that there are about

We Have Over Half of the New World

United States, cannot exceed S0,000,-
900.
Brazil, much the largest country of
South America, is the most populous
in the Western Hemisphere, except
the United States. 1t is probable that
a full and careful enumeration of the
Brazilians would show about 10000
900 of them.
Mexico, only about % per cent of
the size of Brazil in square miles, is
safely established in third place
among all the nations of the New
World, as far as numbers go. In other
respects the Argentine surpasses Mex
leo, and so does Canada. Their indus
trial output is greater and their for
eign commerce is larger in every way.
Argentina and Canada are alike Also
in growing so fast and with such as
surance of continued swift expansion
that they may overtake and pass Mex
leo. Their chief cities already surpass
the largest civic centers in the coun-
try which Diaz makes his fOotstool.

exceptions, Latin America is rich in

Representative Anthony of Kansas
introduced a bill in the house last win
ter for the construction of a military
highway between Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley, 100 miles, by convicts
in the two federal penitentiaries at
Fort Leavenworth. The bill was lost
after debate that developed into a

The measure had the Endorsement of
President Taft, the chief of staff of

eral. General ]. Franklin Bell, then
chief of staff, stated in letter to Rep
resentative Anthony that the proposed
road would unquestionably be of
great military value and convenience. "
Farmers of many townships through
which the proposed road would run
offered to supply all the rock and
other material to be used in its con-
struction.
Like Others of its kind, this meas
ure was wrecked upon constitutional
rocks. The opponents of the bill con-
tended that General Bell did not claim
the road to be military necessity,
and that, if not done for this purpose,
the government could not build it, be-
cause the constitution authorizes the
construction of only such roads as are
required to meet military necessities

from the missing precincts this
morning apparently changed the re-
suit. Prince. whose home is in

Schuyler and ADAMS counties, but
lost his home county, Henry. Berg

ducing the pluralities by which
Prince had won in former cam

returns may yet give the democratic
candidate a fighting chance.
