left England in August last to visit

Alexander, who was murdered by ma
tives in central Africa. recently ar
rived in England.
She was met by her father, Sir
Reginald Macleod, when she landed,
and left for Paddington. Thence she
proceeded by motor car to her beau
tiful home, Winners. near Maid
stone.
Altogether the African journey con-
sisted of 2,700 miles, mostly on foot
or horseback. P. A. Talbot, district
commissioner of Niagara, and Mrs.
Talbot, accompanied her during the
whole of the journey, and were re-
sponsible for the arrangements.
Among the many trophies that Miss
Macleod brought home were two
baby lions, which were presented to
her in French Niagara.
Miss Macleod was very eager to
take them home with her, but, being
now six months old, they were thought
to be rather dangerous pets for Maid
stone, and have been sent to the
zoo
During the Journey Miss Macleod
traversed land across which no white
woman had ever been before At times
the party included as many as so ma

stores and food

PlTIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch Of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
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 l commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
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. | 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 pitiful sight. He would
fuss until | would treat him, they

cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec

GOVERNOR vETOES
D|STR|CT|NC BILL
APPROVAL OF LEGISLATURES
APPORTiONMENT PLAN RE-
FUSED BY EXECUTIVE.
MEANS RECALL OF sOLONS
Must Again Thresh Out Matter After
Near Adjournment = DISCOUNTED
Congressman Expected to Work
for Revision of Entire Measure.

Madison. it neither fair
nor constitutional" Gov McGovern
has vetoed the bill apportioning the
state into congressional and legisla-
tive districts. The veto came after
only an hours consideration of the
measure.
This means that the Legislature,
which had all but adjourned and
was remaining in status quo until the
governor should report on the final
bills, will be recalled to again thresh
out the apportionment problem, and
for this it is expected the session will
be prolonged for week or ten days.
The redistricting of Milwaukee
county is given as the prime motive
for executive disapproval AS one of
the most fragrant Of the apportion-
ments, the governor cites the joining
of the Third and Fourth wards of
that city, which have com bined pop
ulation of almost $1,000, to form the
Third assembly district, while the
Fourteenth ward with a smaller num-
Der of inhabitants than either the
Third or Fourth, alone constitutes an
assembly district. He also points
equally grave defects in the sena-
torial apportionments.
1t is the feeling that the veto opens
the door for a complete overhauling
of the entire bill. Several congress-
men are reported as being heartily
disguised with the districts which
have been given them, and it is like
ly that the entire Washington dele
CATION will bring influence TO bear
at Madison in an effort to get more
satisfactory apportionment. Com
paratiyely few protests on the as
sembly and senatorial district appor-
tionments have been heard from the
state outside of Milwaukee. 1t is
said. however. that Dane county polls
ticians are anxious to get back some
OF their old counties and Columbia
cou2ty politicians object against be-
ing cut away from Dane county and
put in a democratic district.

Snakes in Prohibition Maine.

Snakes emptied two saloons in Port
land of the crowds of customers few

a box of snakes sent to him from the

The snakes were given a chance to
deconstrate their rat-killing ability
and the large snake destroyed Is in
a few minutes. The snakes were then
taken to two different saloons and in
a few minutes cleared them of the
