Neither the Taft lieutenants nor the

RECORD FOR 1911 SHOW BIG DE
CREASE IN MOB VIOLENCE
COMPARED WITH THAT
OF 1910.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 2g.-The lynching
record for 1911 shows distinct though
slight Improvement over the records of
previous years. The number Of per-
sons lynched since January 1--sixty--
is slightly less than that of any other
recent year. All but two of the sixty
persons lynched were negroes. or the
fifty eight negroes. one was woman.
The crimes charged against these VIC
tins range all the way from insult to
criminal assault and murder. Georgia
leads with the most lynchings-seven-
teen. Lynching occurred In thirteen
States. All of these were Southern or
border States excepting Pennsylvania,
which furnished the only instance of
the year where the victim was burned
at the stake.
Contrary TO the record of previous
years the majority of the victims were
not accused of crimes against wo-
men. The victims accused of attacks
on womon numbered eighteen, while
thirty-one were accused of murder
Two negroes were lynched for insult
ing white women, four for attempted
murder. one for threatening to muir
der, one for highway robbery, and one
for persistent stealing. Two were
charged with plain assault and one was
being held In Jail as a suspicious
character.
In several instances race riots were
reported in which both whites and
blacks were killed These are not i'm
cluded in the record OF the year.

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, three-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 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
ly the most distressing syn. tom and is
caused by the bursting of little v.z,cles
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 oint-
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 irritations 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.
