ing has been changed from a weekly
to monthly meeting, held the first
Thursday morning of each month at
ten-thirty O'Clock and for the con-
venience of those living in the more
remote parts of the town, is held, this
winter, alternately in the chapel Of
the First Presbyterian church and
the Methodist church parlor. The
meeting next month, January 9Th,
will be held in the latter place, and
being the first of the new year it
should be we'll attended by the Chris
tian women OF our churches who de-
sire blessing upon all the agencies at
work In our town for the salvation of
souls and the upbuilding of Christ's
kingdom. There was never greater
need Of prayer than now, and one hour
a month is very little to spend in earn
est, united supplication for the bless
ing that can only make our work eff
fectual.

Road drivers of Morristown are agi-
tating the setting apart of some thor
oughfare fox> a few hours each after
noon fora speedway where their horses
may be put into competition with
those of other drivers. Until this
year the section OF Speedwell avenue
in Morris Plains had been used but
the advent of the trolley makes the
use of that street unpracticable.
1t was back in the sos when the
horsemen used South street from
Park place to a point below Madison
avenue when the snow was on the
ground. But the increase OF traffic
on that street first barred them at
Pine and later at Elm street and then
finally they were forced to use Madi-
son avenue.
1t is the custom in many towns to
set aside aside street for this pur-
pose and the board Of alderman may
be asked to take similar action here.
Madison avenue has been suggested as
has the lower end Of Washington
street. AS one horseman expressed it
in a conversation a day or two ago
F." We will have to take our horses to
Newark to race then, | guess"
The Morris County Road Drivers
association furnished lots of sport last
summer with their races at the driv-
ing park and there are hundreds who,
though not owning horses themselves,
like TO see the brushes especially in
the winter when the sleighs are used.

scious. 1t was announced by his son.
Graham Sumner, later that the pro-
lessor had improved slightly and he
was expected to recover. Professor
Sumner arrived from New Haven in
the afternoon. He was to deliver the
presidential address in the joint meet
ing OF the American Sociological So
ciety, the Statistical association and
the American Social Science associa-
ton in the afternoon. The bursting

marriage relation" he said, is
gross inequality, the woman having
the struggle for existence to contend
with and also maternity"

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"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 Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap, q
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
q very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years Of age and 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
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M
