DIST FIGURING ECZEMA
CURED IN 2 WEEKS
BIisters Broke and Formed Scabs.
Nose Covered with Them. Very
Itchy. Used Cuticura Remedies.
Now Hasn't a Single Mark.

my nephew first showed signs Of eczema
On the middle finger, and 1t came out like
q blister. HIS mother thought he had gotten
bum in some way unknown 10 her, and she
treated it as such. He must have rubbed his
face with that hand, as it then broke out on
his nose the same way. When the bllsters
broke, they shrivelled up and formed scabs.
His nose was covered with scabs, and 1t was
very itchy. He was badly disfgured with IN
slightly scabs. At first, his nose was sore,
and it gradually became worse SO his mother
took him to the doctor. He gave her some
preparation, and told her to rub the scabs
Of every day, and anoint the affected part
with the medicine he gave her.
1.-The man must have been insane, as that
was extreme torture to the child who was
only two years old at the time. and that
was two years ago. Well, we decided that
that treatment would have TO end sug-
gested Cuticura Ointment and they bought
Il and put it on freely every day for two
weeks. BE had the eczema for four weeks
altogether, but was getting gradually worse
until they used the Cuticura Remedies, and
be was cured In two weeks. He most Ger
tainly would have been SCARED with the
other treatment, but now he hasn't single
mark. Cuticura Remedies cured him In two
weeks. and now we always keep them IN the

Lyle, Of this city, formerly of Ken
lucky. where he was for years a good
roads optimist, suggests national

This can be done, he says, by each
state building a roadway across its

one built by the adjacent hrdluaoi
one built by the adjoining state Cit
ing a possible instance, he says. sup
pose that road is built from New

then build shortline roads to different

STRIKE GOOD STREAM
IN LOVINGTON WELL
Irrigation In the District
Is Now Believed
Assured.

Lovington, n. NJ, Aug. 15.-After
several unsuccessful attempts to secure
a sufficient amount of water to run a
four inch pump on account Of not hav-
ing proper machinery necessary to
keep out the water so that the well
might be dug to the quicksand, par
ties engaged by citizens of Lovington
have succeeded in reaching this strata
of sand at a depth Of 80 feet and quick
ly put the pump to work, with the re-
suit that after pumping a four inch
stream Of water for several hours,
demonstrated that it was impossible
to lower the water beyond two or three
feet and that a supply of 1000 gallons
a minute had been attained
Considerable interest has been mani
tested by the people living in this sec
ton and it is believed that every claim
in and around Lovington can be con-
verted into veritable gardens Assur-
ance is given of a sufficient amount
of water to irrigate from 80 to $50
acres of land at nominal cost

would be necessary.
The teachers who have been in the

and are known to be in good health
would not have to stand the examfna-
lions as frequently as the others. The
matter was not definitely decided by

Smarty gave a party and invited half
a dozen classmates. She called it a
shrimp wiggle." It sounds like the
canned kind, put up for the Nautch
girl trade. Perhaps the dish is
modelled along the lines of broiled live
lobster, and the shrimp are unfeelingly
cooked to. death while they yet writhe
and squirm and wiggle. Perhaps an
extra infusion of cayenne or that es-
sense of vitriol, tabasco, throws the
wiggle into the ultimate consumer.
At all events it must be a most
seductive blend, brew, or chiffonade to
impel six grave students of pedagogy
to risk expulsion just for one midnight
revel. The hostess of the party, who
alone was expelled, it seems, need not
despair. She may turn her misfortune
into triumph. Instead of completing
her preparations to teach the higher
culture she can earn competency by.
teaching a gourmandizing world how
to make this dangerous delight, the
shrimp wiggle. She has fortune in
the name alone.

TO OPROBE POLITICS
IN APPOINTMENT TO
POST TMASTERSH|PS
Senate Committee Starts In
quiry That Threatens
Hitchcock.

The Senate Committee on Postoffices
has already set preliminary inquiry on
foot that threatens TO give more or less
trouble to Postmaster General Hitch
cock. 1t has been started at the in
stance of Senator Gronna, one of the
Republican insurgents, from North Da-
kota-
Senator Gronna has taken the field in
behalf OF V. A. Corbett. who was APP
pointed postmaster at Menmare, North
Dakota, last session. Corbett was not
confirmed, and then the President
named George z. Childs.
Now, II is alleged that the Corbett ap-
pointment was never intended to be
anything more than a bluff and that
the purpose of Postmaster General
Hitchcock all along was to appoint
Childs and that he had promised Ma
tional Committeeman James Kenny. of
North Dakota, that he would pay a
political debt in this fashion.
II is. intimated that Senator Penrose,
as chairman of the oPstoffices Com
mittee, held up the Corbett appointment
at the instance of Hitchcock.
But Senator Bourne is now chairman
of the Postoffice Committee and he is
not friendly to Hitchcock. He will
name a subcommittee to probe into the
facts. Senator Bourne and Senator
Bristow, on the Postoffices Committee,
are progressive and feel that there is
too much politics in the appointment of
postmasters.
The proposed inquiry is expected to
shed some light on this question.
