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 a 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 l had to cut
bis hair off and put the Cuticura ONT
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 it used
to take the skin of with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get weA, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
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 I can say that he is
entirely cured. and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than ne
is today, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Preparing New Peer Fer His Seat In
House of Lords.
Numerous formaIities have to be
gone through before any new peer is
entitled TO take his seat in the house
of lords
One of the most important matters
is the preparation of the patent, a long
strip of parchment, to the end of
which is affixed the wax SEAL the color
of which varies. according to the rank
of the new member. Another item is
the robe. made of scarlet cloth with
three doublings of ermine the number
of bars varying according to rank.

and the same number behind. mar
quis one less. and so on.
Then there are preparations in re-
gard to making or changing coats of
arms, in connection with which fees to
the extent Of about so guineas are paid
by the recipient of summons to the
house of lords.
Altogether the financial disburse-
ments amount in the case of a new
earl to between 5000 and f70O. some
of which finds its way to the chancel-
Tor of the eXchequer and some to the

this expenditure is. of course, incurred
