BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and it. spread all over
his head All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. ] bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. | sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura ResOlvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes OF
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and neverf had
any breaking out of any kind. His
nair came out In little curls all over
mis- head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what l put
them on. / think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

highways, If 1t is done by the state
aid plan.
Those who are Directing to the
building Of good roads advance OBJ
jections that are found to be falla-
cious, upon a little consideration. The
writer remembers one man who inter
rupted him during an address, and re-
marked that in some parts of the
country they were building hard roads
at a cost of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
mile, and then said that their town
ship had about 72 miles of highways
and proceeded to show that the ex-
pense would be at $4,000 a mile to
cover all the highways with this type
of road. Upon a little inquiry it was
disclosed that the roads in question
were brick roads, built upon a con-
crete foundation-an excellent road to
be sure, and such as it may pay to
build where the traffic is very heavy
and there Ia a large amount of tax
able property to pay the bill-but
these are not the roads that it is usual
ly practicable to build No township
needs anything like 72 miles. The
facts are that four-fifths of the traffic
passes over about one-fourth OF the
road mileage, and 1t has been found
the country over, at home and abroad,
that when from one-fourth to one-third

TAMPA IS CLOSED
ON SHORT NOTICE;
OWNERS HIT HARD

Tampa, Fla, March 2S.-Racing at
the West Tampa track came to an
abrupt and unceremonious ending yes
terday with the running of the sixth
race Severe financial losses during
the past week was the prime cause in
the decision to close down. but the lack
of sufficient entries, lack of public
patronage and the fact that many of
the stables had been shipped away
hurried tho end.
The action in suddenly Terminating
the sport hit the owners now here
somewhat hard. as they were totally
unprepared for the move. 1t was in
timated that the meet was on its last
legs, but little attention was paid to
reports which ordinarily leap like wild
fire through the different stables. For
a while after the action was verified
conformation reigned among the own
ers. they were caught high and dry
with the stables and without a place to
ship or faculties to do so.
Following a canvass of the owners
present 1t was announced that a meet
ing will be given at Pensacola to
start on March 81. It will be of fifteen
days duration and was decided upon
following the assurance of enough
stables being shipped there to make
tho move a financial success as we'll as
otherwise. The program of purses and
races will be given out as soon a.
some definite action is taken, which
will be shortly.
The decision to close up at Tampa
was urged principally by Judge Burk
who feared scandal would result were
the meeting to be prolonged any long
err. AS it was the dates had been ex-
tended nine days beyond the origina
closing date. and the promoters ex-
planned the sudden ending as not sur
prising In view OF the fact that thu
extra days had already been included
on the program.
