QUICK RELIEF or
ITCHING ECZEMA
Was Surprising inflammation Re-
duced in a Few Hours and Cure
Soon Followed Boys Torture
had Been Intense for Years
Friends Child had Eczema, Too.
MOTHER TELLS HOW
CUTICURA CURED BOTH

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He could
neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed,
for the itching was dreadful. He would
irritate spots by scratching with his
nails and that only made them worse. A
doctor treated him and we tried almost
everything, but the eczema seemed to
spread. It started in small place on
the lower extrenities and spread for two
years until it very nearly covered the
back part Of his leg to the knee.
Finally I got Cuticura Soap. Cuti--
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. l
used them in the morning and that even
ing, before put my boy to bed, l used
them again and the Improvement even
in those few hours was surprising, the
Inflammation seemed to be SO much less.
1 used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment,
the same Of the Pills and the Soap and
my boy was cured. My son is now in
his seventeenth year and he has never
had a return of the eczema.
Il took care Of friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they did
on my son and it has never returned.
I would recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to anyone. Mrs. A. j. Cochran,

BIG. FREIGHT
BUILDING WAS
ENDANGERED
LIVE WIRES STARTED FIRE IN
FREIGHT DEPOT AND BLAZE
WAS GROWING WHEN CLERK
DISCOVERED 1T AND GAVE
ALARM.

At 1925 o'clock last night lives wires
started a fire in the office of the L. &
N. freight depot building, and a for
tunate discovery by clerk just as
the latter was about to leave the build
ing for the night prevented what
would have likely been a very dam
aging fire. AS it was, but a few
inches of the wall or ceiling were
.scorched, but it was enough to cause
some alarm. The department was
summoned from box 81, which is stu
ated at the entrance of the building.
The freight depot is now as full OF
merchandise as at any average time,
and had fire have gotten any head
way at all there, it is possible that
much difficulty would have been en-
countered in extinguishing- it. There
are many employees there who remem-
Der very clearly the disastrous fire OF
a comparatively few years ago, when
the big freight house was burned, with
a large assortment of merchandise,
and the fire of last night, while very
slight in the matter of damages, imme-
diately caused much concern to many
in the company's employ.
There is a Waterman at the build
ing, and there was the doubly sure
chance that the fire would have been
early discovered, but the danger was
threatened, at any rate.

THE BULLET
OPERATION UPON YOUNG BRAD
SHAW YESTERDAY RESULTED
IN TAKING BALL FROM BODY
OF BOY WHO WAS WOUNDED.

After having been hidden in the
body of the young Bradshaw boy, of
416 West Government street, for some
days or more, the bullet from %
calibre rife was extracted yesterday
by DR.. Blocker, .ne boys attending
physician, and the boy will now have
the best of chances to get over the
trouble.
Some days ago an operation was de-
cided upon, but the bullet could not be
located and it was decided to wait
until later in the hope that the ball
would work itself to the surface. Yes.
terday another operation was attempt
ed. and DIR. Blocker was rewarded in
not only finding the bullet but also
succeeded i'm extracting it, and was
pleased to tell of it last night.
This is the boy who was shot some
days ago by the Delahunt child, while
four or five boys were enjoying stay
in the woods. The Bradshaw boy was
deliberately shot by the other, the re
ports state, but there had been no In.
tention to strike him. The bullet did
strike, however, and the Bradshaw
boy came near yielding up his life as
result. A few days since, the boy
who shot the other one called at the
latter's home and desired the return
of a knife which he had loaned the
wounded youngster

No truth IN
BANK STORY
REPORT THAT FIRST NATIONAL
WAS TO CONTROL PENSACOLA
STATE BANK is BRANDED AS
WHOLLY UNTRUE BY BANK Of
FICIALS.
FlCIAIS.

The Journal is requested to correct
a report which appeared in an after
noon paper yesterday to the effect
that the First National Bank had Sc
cured control of the Pensacola State
Bank and that a high official of the
First National would succeed T. A..
Jennings as president of the State
Bank when the directors of the latter
meet on Jan. II.
Officials of both banks ask The
Journal to state that there is absolute
ly no truth in the report, and Cashier
w. A. Blount, Jr., of the Pensacola
State Bank, makes the following state
ment:
Cashier BIount's Statement.
1T is with much surprise that I read
the guardedly worded article in the
Review of Thursday, January Sth, con-
corning the securing of the control of
the Pensacola State Bank by the First
National Bank of Pensacola. Espe-
cially is this true since there is abso-
lutely no foundation Of truth in the
facts as set forth in the said account.
The control of the Pensacola State
Bank is not in the First National Bank
nor in any other institution, nor is
there any connection between these
two banks, directly or indirectly. There
are no changes to be made in the per-
sonnet of the officers of the State Bank
at its annual meeting on January 18th,
except possibly in the case of one OF
the directors, who will be succeeded by
a gentleman not interested nor con-
nected in the slightest with the First
National Bank. The account referred
to makes a good news story, but it IS
fashioned out of whole CLOTH
President Hyer of First National.
President w. K. Hyer, Jr., of the
First National Bank, said that he was
at loss to understand how such a
report could have originated or been
| published, as there was absolutely nc
foundation for the story.

Mountainous seas prevailed in the

although several miles separated the
