BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOlLS

"My son was about three weeks old
when l noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in few days became a solid
scab. l became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under treatment for
about three months. BY the end of
that time, he seemed no better. be-
came discouraged. I dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven months
old, all trace of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which / cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been great sufferer. During
the time of teething and from the time
l dropped the doctors treatment,
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head mass of silky curls.

be well, and I feel that owe a great
deal to the Cuticura Remedies"

BALkED BY POLICE
OVER 200 WOMEN ARRESTED IN
ATTACK IN PARLIAMENT.
Suffragettes Determined to Introduce
Resolution Are Dis
persed.

London.-The suffragettes OF Lon
don made their promised assault on
parliament and were repulsed by a
large force of police, after they had
done considerable damage by stone
throwing.
For time the police withstood the
attack of the women and prevented
them from entering the house of COM
mons. More than 200 women were ar
rested. There were many minor cas-
ualties, the women resisting the po-
lice bitterly and forcing them to use
their clubs.
Thousands Of women resorted to
desperate tactics, picking up stones
and hurting them at government build
ings. Hundreds Of persons were
struck by the flying missiles, and in
some cases injuries were severe.
The situation grew SO menacing aft
er the window smashing was begun
that the police reserves were called
out, and as they came dashing upon
the scene in patrol wagons the crowd
scattered and inside half an hour had
dispersed.

BEATT|E CONFESSES
VIRGINlAN GOES TO ELECTRIC
CHAIR-LEAVES STATEMENT
WITH MINISTERS.
SORRY HE COMMITTED CRIME
Walks to Chair Refusing Life Lease
an Admission of Staying Earned
Maintains His Nerve to End OF
Ordeal.

Richmond, Va.-The state of Vir-
ginia took the life of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., in payment for the wife's
life he took last July-and the state
made no mistake. The boy himself
made that plain before he went to
the electric chair.
Welcoming death as a relief from
the torment he declared he was suffer
ing, he walked bravely to the death
chair. scorning the thirty-day reprieve
Governor Mann had promised as re
ward for confessing his guilt.
Beattie's confession was made pub
lie following conference between
the ministers who counseled the pris-
oner in his last hours and Henry Clay
Beattie, Sr. The ministers and the
aged father decided that the confess
sion should be made public, and this
was done.
The confession was as follows.
II, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., DESTROYS
of standing right before God and man.
do, on this, the twenty-third day of
November, confess my guilt of the
crime charged against me. Much that
was published concerning the details
was not true, but the awful fact, with
out the narrowing circumstances, re-
mains. For this action l am truly
sorry and, believing that | am at
peace with God and am soon to pass
into his presence, this statement is
made.
(Signed)
HENRY CLAY BEATTIE, JR."
To the confession was appended
note from the clergymen:
This statement was signed in the
presence of the two attending minis
tiers and is the only statement that
can and will be made public by them.
"Mr. Beattie desires to thank the
many for kind letters and expressions
of interest and the public for what
ever sympathy was felt or expressed"
According to Rev. Dennis, Beattie
first confessed to him the day after
he was received in the death chamber
of the penitentiary, November 8. The
confession, however, was at that time
held as secret confidence by the
ministers and neither felt at liberty to
say anything about it. And for that
reason the final statement was pre-
pared and signed.
Beattie went to his death calmly,
showing not trace of breakdown
in the iron will which had sustained
him since he was arrested for the Stay
ing of his wife.
He was executed at 1928 a. M. in the
little house of the prison where were
gathered only the necessary officials
and the IL jurors selected by lot.
Just one minute was required to
snuff out the life of the condemned
man. Beattie did not utter sound
as he entered the chamber accompa
MED by two guards and the two minis
tiers. His great nerve did not desert
him even when he reached the instru-
ment of death.
The body was taken in charge by an
undertaken and was taken away from
the prison within an hour after the
execution.

woMAN's ABILITY.

The late Premier Stolypin's recog-
milton of the capacity of women for
public business took very practical
form, which is pleasing to the women
Of Russia in general as well as to
the strong-minded Dowager Empress.
It is displeasing to men who are can
didates for official honor, as it makes
women in certain cases their success
full rivals. 1t is true that by an
amendment ordered after the original
PRONUNCIATION of the order only one in
five of the civil service staff can be
woman; nor Gan a woman rise higher
than the seventh Of the twelve ranks
In the service, says the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin. So men will CON
tinue to monopolize the coveted title
High EXcellency," and the chance
that a woman will be a cabinet minis
ter is very remote. One noteworthy
feature is that women receive the
same pay as men in positions of equal
rating. Women officials are to receive
full pensions, even if they marry be-
fore leaving the service, and their
children will get the same pensions as
If they had fathers in the service
When both parents serve, they will
get almost double pensions. In all
cases, the women are to have the
same salaries, lodging and travelling
expenses as the men. This latter
feature of the Stolypin system is the
one that is likely to make the deepest
impression on the women school
teachers of the United States.
