PlTlFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an infamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head 10
foot. He could not have a stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced It chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best In this locality, nevertheless.
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until / commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever Four weeks
after We began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before We used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
Iy and surely bring is their own rec
Ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser. Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal

EXTRAORDINARY SITTING On
SIXTY-SECOND COMES TO
PEACEFUL END.
"e'O OH Cotton Bill Arrives as l1x-
pected-With This Measure Re-
fcrred to Committee, Legislative
BUSINESS Is Concluded Until Regu-
lar Session Begins December 4.
Next.

Washington, Aug. 22.--The first
session OF the SixtySecond congress
ended today and Immediately the
exodus of members began. President
Ia1t joined with several hundred
tired legislators in the hegira and to-
night official Washington was COM
paratively deserted. Every outgoing
train bore senators and representa-
tives on their homeward journey. af-
ter an extraordinary session that
stretched over 121 days and set the
liveliest pace Of any legislative ses-
sion in years.
The adjournment was featureless.
despite the strenuous activity that
had gone before. The president ve-
toed the cotton tariff revision bill
just as he had vetoed it's two revision
predecessors, the wool and free list
bills. The veto went only to the
house, in accordance with custom
and there its reception was marked
by Democratic laughter and Repub-
lican applause.
y. W. Underwood, Democratic
leader amid a Democratic demonstra-
ton, formally thanked the few Re-
publicans who voted with the Demo-
Gratis to pass the tariff revision bills
Democrats ran across the aisles to
shake hands with the Republican in
surgents. The cheering and pound
ing OF desks on the Democratic side
was prolonged. AS soon as he could
be heard Mr.. Underwood announcei
that as the Democrats did not have
the two-thirds majority necessary to
pass the bill over the presidents veto
he would merely move the printing of
the veto and accompanying papers
and refer 1t to the ways and means
committee, of which he is the chair
man. The house agreed to this fixed
course. With the committee the mat
ter will rest until the whole subject
of tariff revision legislation Is re-
newed at the regular session of con-
sress. which will convene at noon on
Monday, December 4.

Mr.. Lee then reported that the
claying Of Calhoun street was about
completed. He also reported that
the work Of putting in drains had
Kept ahead of the paving work and
that a drain was now being put in
on Main street as far up as De-
Lormes Pharmacy. At this point
the subject was brought up if the
drain pipe from the roofs Of build
ings could not be made to run under
the concrete sidewalks, instead Of
emptying on them as many do now.
but it was shown that this would be
impossible owing to the depth Of the
concrete, which extended down be-
low the surface drain. Mr.. Booth
stated that the only method that
could be used was to have trenches
cut in the concrete with iron gratings
over them as was now the case at the
postoflice.
Mr. Lee reported that he had Or
dered an 1S-inch mould for the
making Of drainage pipe. as by hav-
ing this sized pipe considerable
would be saved the city. 1t was
shown that only about 5000 feet Of
pipe had been made up to this time
when 400 had been ordered. Mr..
Booth reported that he had been OBJ
hged to purchase another carload Of
cement. He also reported the sale
of a mule for SIPS, the mule having
become unfit for service.
Mr.. Lee reported that there was an
old fire engine and an old gasoline
engine at SINNERS shop which would
soon be totally decayed, if they were
not disposed Of at once. The fire
committee was instructed to look in
to the meter and to dispose of these
articles to the best advantage.
Mr. Cuttino reported that he had
canvassed among the merchants on
South Main street and had found
them unwilling to contribute towards
IA fund To be paid the contractor for
stopping work. He stated that most
or the merchants We're in favor Of
the work continuing. The commit
tee which had been appointed to con-
FER with the contractor along this
line had not yet done so, but Mr. Jen-
nings stated that Mr.. Waring had
told him that he would not agree to
stopping the work for less than So
600 and he did not think that the
merchants would lie willing to nav
inns amount and he knew that the
city was not. Mr.. Cuttino wanted to
Know how long it would be before
the work would be done up to Du-
gan street and Major Lee stated that
