Uncle Reuben. the village white

his neighbor. Colonel Arkwright,
ana as a rule he repaid these little
debts at the appointed time; but on
one occasion. when he had been &C

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out'again and It spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head vas scaly all over Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got q bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and W had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out In little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what l put
them on. I think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any n to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap Is the best that
I have over used for toilet purposes"

EXPRESS COMPANIES NEXT

The railroads the seeping cars and
now the express companies to each
of these in turn the public is paying
respects and wanting to know why
it should pay what seems to be
extortionate rates for servi ices
There have been many published
statements the last few years about
the enormous earnings of the
American and Canadian express
companies but no systematic survey
of them as whole. However, the
subject just now is being given
more attention and tile statistics
and figures Of these great carrying
corporations are fast becoming the
subject of editorial and other
comment says the Baker City
Democrat.
Some facts have been noted that
are rather startling. The original
capital of the Adams Express,
company, the Indiana railroad COM
mission says, Tas probably the
price of the grip CARED by Alvin
Adams. and practically the same
might be said of the other COM
panies. The three greatest of
these corporations, the Adams, the
American and Wells-Fargo, have
capital stocks of $48, 900. 900, $l8,.
100000 and $4,000, 900. The
Indiana body further declares that
in the very nature Of things this
capital stock cannot haze repre-
sented cash Originally.
The further question as to where
this capital came from might have
been asked, and the answer would
have to be "out of the pockets of
the public
The companies. capitalize their
earnings and merchants and ship
pers have frequently asserted that
their issue of securities have berely
been devices to render feasible the
exacting Of exhorbitant charges
from the public. These common
carriers have grown so great on
selling transportation bought
wholesale from the railroads, end
sold retail to the public, that only
juicy dividends have reduced their
fat. The earnings of the six largest
companies is $125, 900, 900 annually.
These companies have been
munder the authority of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for
several years, but only until
recently has the significance of
their so called annual reports
been recognized or their significance
understood by the members of the
commission. There is no interstate
business so little touted, and yet
that this express business, which Is
laying such heavy toll on the
pocket book of the public.
