COTTON MILLS
SHOW LOSSES
CURTAILMENT CONTINUES AND
BUYING IS DESULTORY.
President Hobbs Declares That Upon
Present Acreage the Production
Could Be Doubled.

Boston, Mass.-"Misery likes com
pany," said President Franklin w.
Hobbs in his address to the National As
ISOLATION of Cotton Manufacturers in
this city in referring to the fact, that
the Lancashire cotton mills had been
having "hard shedding as well as those
in the United States.
In his annual address President Hobbs
said:
"Last September / remarked that the
cotton manufacturing Industry had been
in troublous times since we met in
April last, and l regret to be compelled
to state that the troublous times have
ben continued. The cotton crop has been
a disappointment, curtailment has con-
tinued and a most unsatisfactory condi
tion has resulted. Buying is on hand-to-
mouth basis.
added to perplexing business condi
tions has been the upset political condi'
ton and the uncertainty due to expected
decisions of the supreme court, which
will have far reaching effects. With
these two factors removed, we shall
know where we stand and be prepared to
60 forward.
1T may interest you to know that for
the year ending Nov. 80, 1910, seventy
three concerns in Lancashire, with a
total paid-up capital stock of $12, SOC, 600
and an added loan capital of $5,400,000,
showed a loss after paying interest on
loans and allowing for depreciation.
These figures are the worst for twenty
five years.
at is undoubtedly true that the con
sumption of cotton is steadily increas-
ing each year, and it seems equally true
that this increase in consumption will
continue.
with increases of machinery which
have been made it is evident that the
consumption of the mills of the world
on full time would be not less than
twenty million bales.
"The query thus arises: Where will
the additional amount of cotton needed
for the world and it's increasing popula-
ton come from?
II think / am not too optimistic to
believe that from the present acreage
the American production could be
doubled if proper methods were used,
and it is along such lines that our
friends in the South must work to Sc
sure the best results for themselves and
the s%pinners."

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfigure man.
kind, t~hree-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect In infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance OF its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary. nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning OF
the skin, causing loss of sleep. is usual
~ the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura ONT
ment. For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms Of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and i~rritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith In
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample OF
each will be mailed free to any ad-
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms of eczema, as
well as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. w. Boston.

TO SEND
| TROOPS INTO MEXICO
GIVES OF AMERICANS MUST BE
PROTECTED.
President Has His Warning Delivered
Through the State and War De-
partments.

Washington.-President Taft is deter
| mined that battles between Mexican fed
| erals and insurrectos shall not be fought
on American soil. He is equally deter
| mined that the lives of the American
| non-combatants shall not be endangered
by the forces of President Diaz and
those of Gen. Madero. Future combats
between rebels and the forces of the
Mexican government must not be fought
so close to the American line as to put
in jeopardy the lives and property Of
Americans.
A force of thirty men and a Maxim
gun from the British man-of-war Shear
water were landed at San Quentin,
| Mexico, to protect that town against q
threatened attack of insurgents. The
| revolutionary movement, however, did
not materiaIize and the Britishers and
the gun were withdraw n. This is the first
actual landing of foreign forces on Mex
| lean soil in connection with the present
revolution.
When all danger to San Quentin from
the insurgents had passed the Shear
water sailed tor Ensenada. San Quentin
is a port of Lower California about 125
| miles south of Ensenada.
Through the state department the
president notified the Mexican govern
ment it must see to it in the future that
no such unfortunate incident as that of
Thursday at Aqua Prieta, near Douglas,
Ariz., when two Americans were killed
and eleven wounded, be allowed to occur.
Through the war department and
through the department. of justice the
president sent the same sort of warning
to the leader of the insurrectos at Aqua
Prieta. The view was expressed at the
White House that these warnings will
be obeyed to the letter and that no more
battles will be fought in the vicinity of
the boundary.
