AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, l would
scratch the worst places so that my
fnger-tips would be bloody could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
toilet soap before, / now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
1 used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi.
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re.
turn of the scalp humor. l COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about one half cake
OF Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time l took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te.
dious treatment. Since then | have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
comes to my knees and had 1t not been
for Cuticura l should doubtless be
wholly bald.
This is voluntary, unsolicited tes-
timonial and take pleasure in writing
1T, hoping my experience may help
someone else. Miss Lillian Brown,

England's dead king, Edward VII,
whose full title was king of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and of all the British domin-
ions beyond the seas, emperor of In
dia," was the eldest son and the Sec
ond child of Queen Victoria and AL
bert, the prince consort. He was born
November 8, 1871, in Buckingham pal
ace and was christened Albert Ed
ward.
At his birth he was created prince
of Wales and by virtue of that dig
nifty he became also knight of the gar
ter. AS heir apparent to the British
throne he succeeded to the title of
duke of Cornwall and it's emoluments,
and as heir to the crown of Scotland
he became great steward Of Scotland,
duke Of Rothesay, earl Of Carrick,
baron of Renfrew and lord of the isles.
On September 10, 1S49, he was created
earl of Dublin, this title being con-
ferred on him and his heirs in per-
petuity. Among the other titles and
commands held by Edward were duke
of Saxony, colonel of the Tenth hus-
sars, colonel-in-chief of the Rifle bri-
gade, field marshal Of the British
army and field marshal of the Ger
man army.
The prince received a most elabo-
rate, broad and carefully planned edu-
cation. At FIRST he was under the
charge of four private tutors, and sub
sequently his education was directed
by Baron Stockmar and Charles
Kingsley. In order to give him a
taste of college life, he was sent for
one session to the University of Ed.
inburgh, for one year to Oxford and
for four terms to Cambridge. During
these years he acquired a wide gen.
eral knowledge of the arts and sci.
ences and became quite proficient In
modern languages.
In 1860 the prince made tour OF
the United States and Canada and
the next year he Joined the British
army at Curragh camp, Ireland. In
| 1862 he set out on his travels again
this time visiting Jersualem and 9th
er places of biblical interest. His
companion on the trip was Dean Stan
ley of Westminster
Edwards public life began In Feb
ruary, 1863, when, as heir to the
throne, he took his seat in the house
of lords. On March 10 of the sans
year he married Princess Alexandra
Caroline Mary Charlotte Louise Julia
the eldest daughter of King Christian
TX. of Denmark. Her beauty, grace
and charming manners at once gave
her popularity in Great Britain tina
has continued unlessened throughUc
her life as princess and queen. Ii
1855 the prince made an extended
tour through the Indian empire anC
was received everywhere with lavish
and magnificent hospitality, the nativ,
rulers seeking to Guido one anothe
in the gorgeousness of the entertain
ments provided for the emperor.
On the death of Queen Victoria
January %, 1901, Edward succeeded Il
the throne. The coronation was Sc

Census Takers Missed Many.

Council Bluffs, Ia, May 7.-During
the twenty-four hours ending at 8
o'clock Friday morning both telephone
exchanges in Council Bluffs queried
all people making calls whether or
not they had been counted by the
census enumerators. This process Of
elimination developed the fact that
1919 per cent of the people had been

Coming so suddenly, the death of
the king cannot but bring the great
est sorrow to the nation in whose
hearts Edward, first as prince of
Wales and afterwards as sovereign,
held first place.
Edward WIS short reign of eight
years has been history of strong
times. 1t opened with the conclusion
of peace after long and trying cam
paign in South Africa, and concludes
at the critical moment of one of the
momentous political struggles of mod
ern times, between the peers and the
commons. In day the political out
look of Great Britain has been revo
lutionized.
Only day or two ago the king was
conducting the business OF state and
giving audiences, but on Wednesday
he was compelled to submit to the
orders of his physicians. Since then
until the end his decline was rapid.
Pneumonia Was Cause.
Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is
believed to have been the cause of
his death, but the doctors thus far
