ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY

when my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. 1 noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as a coal Of fire. I did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as
it itched, and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One
day I saw in the paper the advertise
ment of the Cutieura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, so I got them and
tried them at once. My babys face
was as a cake of sores.
when 1 first used the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, could
see a difference. In color it was red
der. 1 continued with them. My
baby was in terrible condition. 1
used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap
and Ointment) four times a day, and
in two weeks she was quite well. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin is now pretty
and fine through using them. / also
use the Cuticura Soap today, and will
continue to, for it makes lovely
skin. Every mother should use the
Cuticura Remedies. They are good
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
is also good for shampooing the hair,
for 1 have tried 1t. I tell all my
friends how the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment cured MY baby of eczema
and rash" (Signed) Mrs. Drew, 21O

Chancellor Thomas M. Mcconnell

to govern the city of Chattanooga,
Tenn, from assuming control of mu-
nicipal affairs. The constitutionality
of the Few charter is upheld, and the
suit is dismissed with costs on the
complainants, who were members OF
the old government. Mayor t. G.
Thompson and the four commissioners
held meeting, bonds were signed and
approved, and the old government has
passed into history.
Chattanooga commands wide at

met have been appointed by the Meth

Frank B. Hayne, the well-known cot
ton bull leader, threw the New Or
leans cotton exchange into fever of
excitement 20 minutes before the final
gong, when he offered to purchase the
entire stock of cotton in New Orleans
at 15.4S cents. Pandemonium reigned
for few minutes and the days Of the
great "Sully'' pool were recalled. Now
there are whispers here of big cor
nern in May cotton, but those believed
to be in the deal refuse to discuss
the matter.

have you hidden in the cellar, besides
the policeman"
There was no use trying to deceive
him: He was looking straight into my
eyes. So decided to make the best
of a bad thing. Anyhow, 1t was going
to require strength to get Bella
through the coal hole with one arm
and restrain the policeman with the
other.
Come" I said, making sudden
resolution, and led the way down the
stairs.
He said nothing when he saw Bella.
for which / was grateful. She was sit
| ting at the table. with her arms in
front of her, and her head buried In
them. And then saw she was asleep.
Her hat and veil laid beside her, and
she had taken off her coat and draped
II around her. She had rummaged
out cold pheasant and some salad,
and had evidently had little supper.
Supper and nap, while 1 worried my
4
self gray-headed about her!
"She-she came in unexpectedly
something about the butler" I explain
ed under my breath. "And-she
doesn't want to stay. She is on bad
/ terms with-with some Of the people
upstairs. You can see how impossible
the situation is"
81 doubt if we can get her out" he
said. as II the situation were quite
ordinary. However, we can try. She
seemg very comfortable. It's pity to
rouse her"
Here the prisoner in the furnace
room broke out afresh. 1t sounded
as though he had taken lump OF coal
and was attacking the lock. Mr.. Har.
bison followed the noise. and l could
hear him arguing. not gently.
Another sound" he finished. "and
you won't get out Of here at all. un-
less you crawl up the furnace pipe!"
When he came back, Bella was rous-
ing. She lifted her head with her
eyes shut and then opened them one
at time, blinked, and sat up. She
didn't see him at first.
You wretch" she said ungrateful-
ly, after she had yawned. do you
know what time it is? And that"
Then she saw Mr.. HARRISON and sat
staring at him.

her hastily. "He-he came with Anne
and Dal and he is shut in, too"
BY that. time Bella had seen how
handsome he was, and she took a
hair-pin out of her mouth, and arched
her eyebrows. which was always
Bella's best pose.
81 am Miss Knowles" she said
sweetly (of course, the court had
given her back her name), "and l
stopped in tonight, thinking the house
was empty, to see about IA butler.
Unfortunately, the house was quaran-
tined just at that time. and-here /
am. Surely there cannot be any harm
in helping me to get out?" pleading
tone.) Il have not been exposed to
any .contagion, and in the exhausted
state of my health the confinement
would be positively dangerous"
She rolled her eyes at him, and /
could see she was making an impress
sion. OF course she was free. She
had perfect right to marry again,
but will say this: Bella is lot bet
ter looking by electric light than she
Is the next morning.
The upshot Of 1t was that the gen.
tleman who built bridges and looked
down on society from lofty, lonely
pinnacle agreed to help one OF the
most cleaning members of the afore-
said society to outwit the law.
It took about Is minutes to quiet
the policeman. Nobody ever knew
what Mr.. HARRISON did to him, but
for "a hours he was quite tractable.
He changed after that, but that comes
later In the story. Anyhow, the Har-
bison man went upstairs and came
down with a Bagdad curtain and,
cushion to match, and took them into
the furnace room, and came out and
locked the door behind him, and then
we were ready for Bella's escape.
But there were four special officers
and three reporters watching the
house as result of Max Reeds idiocy.
Once, after trying all the other win
dows and finding them guarded, we
discovered little bit of hole in an
out.of-the-way corner that looked like
a ventilator and was covered with a
heavy wire screen. No prisoners ever
dug their way out of dungeon with
more energy than that with which we
attacked that screen, hacking at 1t
with kitchen knives, whispering like
conspirators, being scratched with the
ragged edges of the wire, frozen with
the cold air one minute and boiling

with excitement the next. And when
the wire was cut, and Bella had rolled
her coat up and thrust 1t through, and
was standing on chair ready to fol-
low, something outside that had looked
| like a barrel moved and said, "Oh, 4
wouldn't do that If were you. It
would be certain to be undignifed.
and probably 1t would be unpleasant
later"
We coaxed and pleaded and tried
to brlbe, and that happened, as 1t
turned out, to be one Of the worst
things that we had to endure. For the
whole conversation came out the next
afternoon in the paper. with the most
awful drawings, and the reporter said
1t was the flashing Of the jewels W.
wore that first attracted his attention.
And that brings me back to the rob
berry.
For when we had crept back to the
| kitchen, and Bella was fumbling for
her handkerchief to cry into and the
| HARRISON man was trying to apollo
gize for the language he had used to
the reporter, and was on the verge
of a nervous chill-well, 1t was then
that Bella forgot all about crying and
jumped and held out her arm.

| Well, we went over every inch Of
that basement, until l knew every
crack in the flooring, every spot on the
cement. And Bella was nasty, and said
that she had never seen that part OF
! the house in such condition, and that
if l had acted like sane person and
put her out, when she had no busi-
ness there at all, she would have had
her freedom and her bracelet, and
