DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head Of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

According to a statement before a
meeting Of the Women's Foreign Mis-

Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary

ton with the topic Of "Frenzied FL

ciety to be more liberal in it's contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to

COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE
Senate Passes Carpenter Bill.
q O I N G S

senate Passes Carpenter BIZ.
The Carpenter bill, with the Parrish
amendment, is regarded as one of the
most important irrigation measures
that has come before the Colorado
Legislature in many years. By its
final enactment6 reservoir or storage
rights in water from the natural
streams of the state will be placed on
the rule of priority, just as direct ap-
propriations for irrigation through
bitches are now and always have been
placed; and the owners Of storage res
ervoirs will have the right to take up
and impound all of the inappropriate
ed waters in the state, whether for
domestic, irrigation or power pur-
poses.
After the Cross substitute, which
provided that the law should remain
as it is, was defeated, and the Parrish
amendment had been adopted by a
vote of nineteen to twelve, Senator
Carpenter presented amendments to
the amended bill which, instead OF
compelling reservoir owners to install
weirs and self-registering devices for
the measurement of water at the In
take, leaves that matter to the dis.
cretion of the state engineer; and, in
stead of requiring reservoir owners to
place guage rods at the outlets of the
reservoirs to determine the volume of
water passing out of the reservoir,
permits them to place the guage rods
Eear the outlets.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM

Washlngton.-An attack on the con,

the Interstate commerce act-the long
and short haul provision-was made
before the commission in the consid-
Grafton Of the inter-Rocky Mountain
rate cases.
Attorneys for the railroads main

counsel for some OF the cities af-
fected. Spokane, Wash, and Reno,
New, followed with a declaration that
part of the section which confers
upon the commission authority. in
special cases, to permit lower freight
charge for longer than for a shorter
haul in the same direction and over
the same route. was unconstitutional.
Attorneys for the shippers asserted
that II the commission did not issue an
order providing that the charge for a
longer haul should be greater than for
any shorter haul they would carry the
matter to Congress and insist upon
would give the commission no discre-
tioDary power in the matter.
The commission, as purely ad
ministrative body. has no power to
pass upon the constitutionality of any
part of the act 1t simply enforces
the law as it finds 1t on the statute
books, leaving to the courts the de-
termination OF any constitutional
question that may arise.
A principle that is likely to govern
in many cases was laid down by the
interstate commerce commission in
decision OF the complaint OF the Kaul
Lumber Company OF Alabama, against
the Central OF Georgia railway and
other carriers.
The company built railway line
connecting It's mill on the line OF the
Central of Georgia with its timber
ment with the railroad by which it
received cents per 100 pounds on
all lumber hauled to the junction.
Later on the road advanced its
rates on lumber from Alabama points
to Ohio river transfers 2 cents per
100. The lumber company asked rep.
aration on shipments of 2 cents per
100. In denying the request. the
commission held:
THAT. without deciding whether
this railroad. owned and operated by
the lumber company. Is a common
carrier upon the facts appearing in
operations In hauling company ma
terial for the Kaul Lumber Company,
1t can be considered by this commits
sion only as a plant facility.
THAT. concerning and for the pur-
pose OF this case, the advance OF
cents per 100 pounds on yellow pine
lumber was unreasonable and unjust
The complainant lumber company Is
not entitled to any reparation there
on for the reason that it has never
paid the advance
THAT, If the railroad or the lumber
company should be held to be n com

tends It should. in such case it can

Would Legalize Racing and Boxing

Would Legalize Racing and Boxing.
sentative Walker to amend House bill
No. 474, which is intended to encour-
age the breeding of horses i'll this
state by legalizing racing meets, SO
that it will also legalize ten-round box
ing bouts before bona fide athletic
clubs. Mr. Walker plans to amend the
title of the bill to make it include two
sections legalizing boxing exhibitions.
According to the provisions of the
amendment that Walker proposes to
introduce, ten-round bouts may be held
before athletic clubs. No decision is
to be rendered, the principals must be
over eighteen years of age, and sub
NIT to medical examination before
entering the ring. The boxing clubs
are to pay license of $1,000 a year
to the city if located within the limits
of an incorporated town, or to the
county if located outside OF the city.
The boxers are to receive no money OF
prizes other than a share of the gate
receipts.
The Walker amendment is modelled
something after a bill now pending in
the Illinois Legislature. 1t is under
stood that it has the sanction and ap'
proval of the Denver Athlete Club and
that that organization is preparing to
make a fight to secure its adoption.

After numerous delays the state tun-
mel construction bill has been brought
up for second reading in the House.
The measure as submitted is new with
the exception Of the title. The amend
ed bill gives every guarantee neces-
sary to the state for the money which
will be expended in the construction
Of the tunnel. It goes further and
makes the bore through the range an
"open gateway" not confined to one
railroad. The Moffat road is obligated
to share the use of the tunnel with
other roads that seek a shorter route
to and from the Pacific. This amend
ed bill has been gone over by the best
legal minds in the West and they be-
lieve that it is constitutional. That
the state will lose nothing in standing
behind the undertaking is vouched for
by railroad experts and business men
The amount required Is $4.000,000. To
Denver alone. 1t Is claimed, the pass
age of the measure and the beginning
of work would mean an increase of
values in one year of far more than
the cost of the tunnel.
The Garman bill for woman's
eght-hour law was finally passed by

him in the midst OF vigorous opposi-
ton speech.
The house has taken up the bill pro.
viding for the construction of a state
tunnel through the continental divide
To the state at large this is an i'm
portant matter: to Denver it is the
keenest interest. There is veiled op-
position to the proposal. 1t is pro-
posed to have the Legislature appoint
conference committee to confer with
like committee from the Legislative
assembly OF Utah. That Utah should
be interested in this matter is natural
because the proposed tunnel would
bring the principal points in that state
In much closer connection with the
East. But that Utah would be willing
to give funds to aid the actual con
struction work is hardly to be looked
for.

him, two wires.
He shot his feet to the brakes but
the brakes did not work The ma

But a man in danger thinks fast. Mr.
Anderson decided that any risk was
preferable to having a wire take 4

chine.

was a fortunate one and he was little
injured.
