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 its treatment did no good. At
the time was induced to try Cuti-h
cura he was so bad that I had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t 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 i
sores. The bandages used to stick to-
his skin and in removing them it used I
to take the skin OF with them, and
the screams from the poor child we're
heartbreaking. I began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura ONT
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth!
applications the sores commenced to-
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he Is
entirely cured, and stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

In Praise Of Gardening.

Charles Dudley Warner: There is
probably nothing that has such a
tranquilizing effect, and leads into
such content, as gardening. By gar
dening, l do not mean that insane de-
sire to raise vegetables which some
have; but the philosophical occupation
of contact with the earth, and com
partnership with gently growing things
and patient processes; that exercise
which soothes the spirit and develops
the deltoid muscles. In half an hour
l can hoe myself right away from the
world, as we commonly call it, into
large place, where there are no OBJ
stacles. What an occupation it is fo1
thought! The mind broods like hen
on eggs The trouble is, that you are
not thinking about anything, but are
really negotiating like the plants
around you. l begin to know what the
Joy of the grapevine is in running VI
the trellis, which is similar to that OF
the squirrel in running up the tree
We all have something in our nature
that requires contact with the earth.

SMASH SUGAR TRUST.
Petition Filed and New Action 10 %
Begun Within a Week.

Washington. Within week
an action will be started In New
York by District Attorney Wise look
ing to the dissolution of the sugar
trust. Orders to this effect have been
sent out by Attorney General Wicker
sham
An amended and much shorter peti-
ton, though much more comprehen.
sive in it's charges, has been prepared
after a conference between the attor-
ney general, District Attorney WISE,
Special Attorney Simson and Mr.. NC
Reynolds.
1t charges the sugar trust with vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust Jaw
and the court is asked to dissolve the
trust and issue an injunction restrain
ing the American Sugar Refining com
pany of New Jersey from voting the
shares of the subsidiary companies
pending the redistribution OF these
shares among their original owners.
The action will be in all respects sim
liar to that which resulted In the
smashing of the Standard Oil company
IN the United States circuit court ana
in a general way it resembles the ac-
ton against the tobacco trust 1t Is
learned that an investigation into the
sugar trust develops that all three OF
these concerns have been organized
and were operated along parallel
lines.
AS in the case of the Standard, the
sugar trust has operated through re-
bates. free storage facilities, secret
agreements and criminal methods for
crushing out competition. 1t went
through an earlier period OF its exist
ence like the oil trust, resulting in be-
ing overthrown by the courts; where
upon, like the oil trust, it organized
holding company under New Jersey
law, which has since enjoyed prac-
tical monopoly of the sugar rennlng
business in the United States.
In the cane sugar business the mo-
nopoly of the trust is complete. Diff
culties were encountered in cornerlng
all the beet sugar interests, however,
and because of the comparative econ
omy with which beet sugar plants can
be constructed, and the rapid spread
of beet sugar cultivation, the trust has
found it difficult to obtain a complete
mastery of this industry. The fact
has been established, however, that
the sugar trust controls 70 per cent.
of the sugar industry of the United
States, cane and beet sugar combined,
and on these facts the attorney gem
eral proposes to go ahead and force
the dissolution of the concern.

JESSIE MORRISON is PARoLED
Woman Who Killed Her Successful
Rival Is Given Freedom.

Topeka, Kan.-Jessie Morrison, who
has been serving twenty-five year
prison sentence for killing Mrs. Olin
Castle at Eldorado, Kan, on June II,
1900, was paroled by Governor Stubs.
Miss Morrison is the daughter of
former Circuit Judge H. M. Morrison.
Both the Morrison and Castle families
are prominent.
The murder of Mrs. Olin Castle was
one of the most sensational crimes
In the history of the state. Miss Jes-
sic Morrison and Miss Clara Wiley

up between them. Castle married
Clara Wiley.
On June 20, 1900, neighbors heard
fight going on in the Castle cot

rival, whose throat was cut. Miss

tense. Mrs. Castle made a dying

KILLED IN TRACTION CRASH
Indiana Has Second Trolley Disaster
in Which Six Die.

Upton, Ind - In collision on
the Indiana Union Traction road
two miles north of this city six per-
sons were killed and IL others more or
less seriously injured.
This was the second disaster on In
diana traction lines within week, the
first having occurred on the Wabash
Valley line at Kingsland on Wednes-
day The death of Clyde Brown of
Warren, Ind, brought the number of
persons killed in that disaster up to
Al
The two wrecks were brought about
under circumstances which were al
most identical In both cases there
was a mistake in the orders-one or
the trains overran the station at
which it was to stop and met the other
on a sharp curve in head-on COLI
sion.
DR.. w. C. Holthouser, who was killed
In the wreck, was on his way to Ko-
komo, Ind, where he was to have been
married. His brother, who also was
killed, was to have been the best man
at the wedding The bride to have
been is Miss Nellie Coxon, daughter of
the secretary of the Great Western
Pottery company of Kokomo, Miss
Coxon was Frustrated when she heard
of the death Of her fiance.
The collision was between north
bound limited passenger train and
south-bound freight. The south-bound
motorman had orders to wait at the
first stop north of the crossing, it is
said. but overran that point, thinking
he could make another switch.
A clump of trees hid the approach
ing cars and they came together at a
curve. The freight train plowed
through the front of the limited, demol-
ishing the smoker. The motorman and
all the passengers in the smoking COM
partment OF the limited were killed
The motorman and conductor on the
freight car jumped and were not in
jured.

PAID HIGHLY FOR BEAUTY
Humorist Tells How He Became
Handsome, and Declares 1t Was
Worth 1t.

To be handsome is not always to be
good, but there is surely no harm in
being handsome if you can become sc
without spelling your face. For years
1 was considered homely. My best
friends admitted it and my enemies
made unkind references to it. l knew
that there were dermatologists who
were perfectly willing to give silver
bridges to bridgeless noses, dazzling
brilliance to lack-luster eyes and raw
ishing outlines to hideous prohles, but
/ did not care to go to the expense. I
determined to be my own dermatolo-
gist

file as 1t was before began to work
on my face. 1t will be seen that, while
intellectual, it was not handsome. My
ear was too long and my nose too like
a toe, while my brow needed building
up and my chin pushing forward. My
eye, while not beautiful had eharac-
ter, and | decided not to alter that,
but the other features needed manipu.
lation.
l began with my nose. When I went
to bed lay on my back with fat1ron
bound to my nose. 1t was painful at
first, but l soon got used to it, and day
by day my nose changed it's shape I'M
til at last it was perfect. | next tried
sleeping standing up in a specially
prepared bed. with heavy weights
hung to my chin This had a tendency
to bring my chin forward. Luckily |
was out Of job, so I was able to do
my sleeping in the daytime. To give
myself a high brow l made hat like
those used by hatters to ascertain the
size of the head. This I screwed on
my head on retiring, increasing the
pressure each night. also took double
doses of headache powders, as I need
ed them. AS l look back it does not
seem more than six months that l la
bored with my visage. but my diary
