THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfigure
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, a afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious.
and Is impartlally distributed among
the rich and poor. the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning OF
the skin, causing loss OF sleep, Is sua
ly the most distressing symptom and Is
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
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

the youngest infant or the oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings Of Cuticura ONT
ment. Fol 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,
feelings and irritations of he 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-
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms Of eczema, as

IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by TAX
ing the Order of the Court Too
Literally.

A droll incident is reported as hav-
ing taken place in one of the pro
vincial appeal our in France. A
boy, about "A. was summoned to give
evidence. and his appearance was such
as 10 move the whole court to laughter.
He wore a long ~redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers. collar and hat
were unquestionably those OF a man.
The court was ~convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, cad the formula in
viting him. Comparative dams les af-
flares de son pere." (To appear IN
his father's suit.)

COTTON MILLS
SHOW LOSSES
CURTAILMENT CONTINUES AND
BUYING IS D~ESULTORY.
President Hobbs Declares That Upon
Present Acreage the Production
Could Be Doubled.

Boston, Mass.-"Misery likes COM
pany, said President Franklin w.
Hobbs in his address to the National AS
soclatlon of Cotton Manufacturers in
this city in referring to the fact that
the Lancashire cotton mills had been
having hard shedding as we'll as those
in the United States.
Last September | remarked that the
cotton manufacturing industry had been
in troublous times since we met in
April last, and | regret to be compelled
to state that the troublous times have
ben continued. The cotton crop has been
a disappointment, curtailment has con-
tinued and a most unsatisfactory cOndi
ton has resulted. Buying is on hand-tO
mouth basis.
added to perplexing business condi
tions has been the upset political cOndi.
ton and the uncertainty due to expected
decisions OF the supreme court, which
will have far reaching effects. With
these two factors removed, we shall
know where we stand and be prepared tc
go forward.
1T may interest you to know that for
the year ending Nov. 80, 1910, seventy
three concerns in Lancashire, with a
total paid-up capital stock of $780, 900
and an added loan capital of $5,4OO,0OO,
showed a loss after paying interest on
loans and allowing for depreciation.
These figures are the worst for twenty
five years.
1T is undoubtedly true that the con-
sumption of cotton is steadily increas-
ing each year, and it seems equally true
that this increase in consumption will
continue.
with increases of machinery which
have been made it is evident that the
consumption of the mills of the world
on full time would be not less than
twenty million bales.
"The query thus arises: Where Will
the additional amount of cotton needed
for the world and its increasing popula.
ton come from?
Il think | am not too optimistic tc
believe that from the present acreage
the American production could be
doubled if proper methods were used,
and it is along such lines that our
friends in the South must work to Sc
sure the best results for themselves and
the spinners."

A Spicy subject.

John Lane, the ~well-known publish
er, said at a literary dinner in New
York:
AS an editor l find nobody so per
s1stent as the amateur contributor. If
the amateur were half as ingenious
in writing his material as in trying
to land 1t, he would become a Dickens
in no time.
"An amateur said the other day to
an editor l know:
ALLOW me to submit this bear
story
MY readers don't care for bear
stories,' said the editor. They want
something spicy
but this said the amateur. is a
story about a cinnamon bear"

BURGLAR FIGHTS
OFF 8 WOMEN
Thief Escapes from Glen Ridge
Home After Being
PummeIed.

Mrs. Jennie Pancoast knights and
her daughters, Florence, IS years old.
and Helen, 15, battled with a burglar
in their home, 215 Linden avenue, Glen
Ridge, last night, until the intruder
dragged Mrs. Knight down a flight of
stairs and so badly injured her that
she is in bed today. Mrs. Knight has
a blue bow wife, a clover leaf stickpin
and a gold t~ie-clasp, which she tore
from the burglar in their flight.
The fellow got away with two
watches and a few pieces of jewelry
valued at SIS and some money. He.
was about FIVE feet seven inches in
height. clean shaver and wore a derby
hat and a short black o~vercoat.
When the women came upon him the
burglar made an attempt to open the
front door. He had a jimmy in n
and a flash light in the other. He
leaped down the steps and when Mrs.
Knight lost her hold he disappeared
the house towards Washington
street. The neighborhood was aroused
and a searching party was organized.
Police and dogs got on the trial, but
no trace of the man could be found.

Tuesday, and IL is now a practical GER
tainty that the final organization states
will be headed by Senator Prince for
president of the Senate and Assembly
man McCran for speaker of the House.
It has beer decided, it is said, by the
party leaders not to make Captain
James Parker clerk of the Assembly,
as this would give Passaic county
three of the principal offices. which
would have a bad political effect.
The fight over the Republican leader
ship in the Senate has been practically
settled and In all probability Senator
Leavitt. of Mercer. will be given the
place. 1t is said that he has enough
votes pledged to him to give him the
honor. It is expected that the secre-
tary of the Senate will go to Francis
B. Davis, Of Woodbury., chairman OF
the Gloucester County Republican Com
mittee. Upton S. Jefferys, of Camden,
will me clerk of the Assembly.
