CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In a few days the head was
solid rlass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent, box OF Cuticura Ointment.
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head Of hair. think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah. Sept. 10. 1910.

ment are sold everywhere. sample

NEW ELEMENT
 LIKE RADIuM
Prof. Fennefl Tells Chemical Society it is Made From
 Iodine

Cincinnati. April 14.-Prof. c. T. B. Fennell of the University of Gin cfnnati told the Cincinnati Branch of the American Chemical Society yes terday afternoon that he has discov- cred a new element, which has been extracted from iodine and which is similar in it's action to radium. Prof Fennen has been working on this sub- ject for the past two years. He told the members of the society how he found this new element. and stated that he is now engaged in several new developments with 1t, which will bring his discovery to better use- fulness.
 Prof. Fennell said that he came upon the element in a rundabout way while he was making experiments on another line; that he dropped that line of research, and has now found this new element. which will make his discovery of great benefit to materials can be made from this at a much less expense than with the use of radium.
 Prof. Lauder W. Jones. who has heard Prof. FennelPs explanation says that the experiments will be giv- en a greater use and the entire mat ter sifted by the local society. He says that if this element shows it is of value it will go a great. way to revolutionize that part of our system of manufacture in which radium is now used.
 pr. Fennell told the society that he will have the members meet with him in his laboratory within 1the next week and show them that he can produce an element which has never before been known.
