NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, a boy Of five, broke
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 its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that l 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
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 reams from the poor child were
he~artbreaking. I began to think that
he would never get WeH, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment l began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced 70
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he Is
entirely cured, and q stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Incident Of HannibaI'S Career That

Which Do You Like Worst7

This is the greatest O way for
undecided people to make up their
minds.
None but a strong minded woman
can ever decide which Of two or three
hats she likes the best" particularly
if they are all comely.
Popular bellies have been known to
have similar troubles with their
sweethearts. Which do 1 like best is
often a momentous question.
Why not try the other way?
Decide which, of men, or hats, or
attractive dates" you like the worst,
and then proceed to eliminate.
From there you can factor out in
the grade of d~esirability, until you
actually find yourself at a decision,
because it, whatever it is, is the only
one left.
The process is delightfully."- simple.

Tuberculosis In the West indies.

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 $1,000 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-
ions 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.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the dis.
eased portion OF the ear. There is only ono way to
cure deafness. and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an in1amed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachlan Tube. When this
tube Is innamed you have o rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an innamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

SHIP CANAL
BETWEEN BAYS
Question viii Come Up a
Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Convention
TWO ROUTES HAVE
BEEN SURVEYED

The question of whether or not
thirty-foot ship canal, 300 feet wide,
connecting the Chesapeake and Della
ware bays, will be built across the
northern part of the Eastern Shore
peninsula, making Baltimore 144
miles nearer the sea, is to be the
most important subject TO come up
at the third annual convention of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Conven-
ton. which convenes in Providence,
R. l., next Wednesday.
Government engineers have been
busy for several months making sur
veys of two routes for the proposed
canal. and they will submit their re-
ports at the convention. One route Ia
by way Of the present Chesapeake and
Delaware canal and the other by way of
the Sassafras river. If the former is
selected, the present small canal will
be enlarged: If the latter is accepted,
an entirely new canal Will be built.
The Baltimore shippers are In favor
of the Sassafras river route because
II will bring the canal closer to Bal
timore and make the other end closer
to the sea.
II will also be easier to keep open
in the winter time. as IL will empty
into salt water. The Chesapeake
canal empties into fresh water. which
is frozen over most of the winter
months.
The Chesapeake and Delaware canal
is owned principally by Delaware and
Pennsylvania capital. and II 1t is Sc
lected the Baltimoreans want the
government 20 buy 1t outright and
enlarge it. This will do away with
excessive charges and make the ship
canal free. as has been proposed.
Delaware FaYOrs the improvement.
II is said that there will be very
little difference I'm the cost of the two
proposed waterways The canal is
advocated not only as a benefit to
Baltimore and Wilmington. but also
as a safeguard to the navy In case
of hostilities.
