baby. Scalp All cru.ted over.


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 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 Cutlcura Remedies We at
once got 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
a 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

Bernard Shaw on Virtue.

Mr. Shaw said d great deal of what
had been enormously called religion for
the last 300 years had been nothing else
than a conspiracy to try and persuade
themselves and others that virtue was
cheap thing. Virtue was not a cheap
thing-no good things were cheap. If
they wanted a decent and virtuous
population-which they had not at
present-they would have to pay for
it. But, after all the expense would
not be so great as the expense of the
present system. They ought to make
up their minds, since they were going
to spend money on the people. that it
should be spent sensible, and that they
should try to keep people in efficiency
and health. This was a matter which
should be thought over carefully. For
two centuries past the main object of
the English people had been to avoid
thinking. They liked man who would
get on the platform and tell them that
they would muddle through. The fact
of the matter was that we did not
muddle through. This country was
really at the present time in deplor-
able and appalling condition. He pub
licly apologized to the universe for
living in it,

PRESIDENT IS RRTATED
CALLS PAPERS HYPOCRTS
President TAFT Says Newspapers Don't Garry
In Pockets All Of Public Opinion and That
BE Intends to Avoid Them Hereafter.

Newark, N. J-President Taft pre-
faced his address before the Newark
board Of trade here with a personal
statement of his feelings after being
q year in the white house which
brought the audience to its feet with
cheers. He took occasion to pay his
respects to the newspapers, saying he
was going home to Washington and
avoid them.
Former Governor Franklin Murphy,
In introducing the president, said
that before Mr.. Taft had gone to the
white house last year, he had talked
with him of the great responsibilities
that were to be his. Mr.. Taft earnest
ly said he wanted ito make good"
1T is true" said President Taft, Il
told Governor Murphy / wanted to
make good . year ago. ! am not 50
certain of doing It now. He said some
thing about the newspapers. When the
newspapers are prone to criticise and
sometimes unite In hammering your
administration, treating it sometimes
with contemptuous disdain and some
times with patroniEing friendship, 1t
is hard to overcome the feeling that
perhaps you ought to begin all over
again.
"In view of all that, to have re-
ceived the welcome which l received
and which l believe to have been
sincers-gives you q little hope that
perhaps the newspapers don't carry
In their pockets all Of public opinion,
and that perhaps the American peo-
pie are able to see through something
OF hypercriticism. something OF hys.
terra and something Of hypocrisy,
and to have q real sympathy with
the man who, under considerable
responsibility, Is doing the best he
can.
They say that sometimes demon
strations are misleading, but an
going to believe, as l have said, that
your reception is sincere, and / an
going to take that flattering junction
to- my soul as 60 back to Washing
ton and avoid the newspapers"
Mr.. Taft took for his theme the
homely subject Of government econ
omy, and told Of the efforts being
made by his administration to ou
down appropriations wherever posi-
BILE. In addition to this, the presiden
declared he shade the hope that th'
