which do not itch. If the eruption

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with
eczema when but 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 little
face was disiigured very much. We hardly
knew what he looked like. The face looked
Ike raw meat. We tied little bags OF cloth
over his hands to prevent him from scratch.
ing. He was very restless at night. his little
face itched.
We consulted two doctors at Chicago,
where We resided at that time. After trying
sill the medicine of the two doctors without
any result. we read of the Cutieura Remedies,
and at once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions care
fully and promptly @e saw the result, and
after four weeks, the dear child's face was
as fine and clean as any little babys face.
Every one who saw Gilbert after using the
Caticura 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 Remedies to everybody"

late Gen. David ID. Cotton, who was a

Unusual Houses
Built for Speculation

Three unusually pretentious resden-
ces, to be built for speculative purposes,
are being constructed by John H. Nolan
on the south side of Wyoming avenue,
between Connecticut avenue and
Twenty-second street northwest.
They are three-stOry structures after
plans by Wood, Dom & Deming, archi-
tects. There is a central house forty
feet in width with a central doorway
of highly ornamentally carved stone
The two on either side of the central
house are thirty feet wide with en-
frances to the side. These entrances
are ornate with carved stone, terra
Gotta and wrought iron. The three
form a pleasing unit, yet each house is
distinct in itself.
The interior arrangement is as elab-
crate as the exteriors might Indicate
Each has nine bedrooms and four bath
rooms, in addition 70 ample living
rooms, such as parlors, Libraries, and
dining rooms.
1t is believed. however, that on ac-
count of the high class of their location
and their unusual attractiveness they
will find ready buyers soon after their
completion.
Another elaborate house has Just been
commenced by William P. Lipscomb &
Co. at the northeast corner of Nine
teenth and R streets northwest, for
J. II. Purdy. The plans, which were
drawn by J. Henri de Sibour, call for
a four-story Colonial structure of light
tapestry brick with limestone trimmings.
There is q central entrance from
porch supported by four classic columns
on top of which a balcony with a
wrought iron railing is provided. The

classic design surmounts the facade.
The house is to be fifty-three and a half

There are TO be seventeen rooms with
some very large ones among them. The
library, which is to be on the first floor,
will be about 20 by "a feet The salon
on the secohd floor is to be the same
size, and the dining room, also on the
second floor, will be 10 by 80 feet IN
size. Mr.. Purdy will occupy the house

BUSINESS BOOMING
IN REALTY CIRCLES
Activity for Week. Despite Holiday Break, Almost Makes
Record Suburban Sales Far in the Lead-Money
Market Keeps Pace.

The tide of real estate activity, which
has assumed almost flCod-like proper
tions during the current month, was in
no manner stemred by the mid-week
holiday due to the general observance of
Washingtons Birthday among the brok-
crs Holidays usually exert a depress-
ing action upon the market and geneT-
ally interfere with trC weeks business
results. Neither Of these effects are
noticeable however. in a review of
realty transactions for the past week.
With the exception of the first week OF
February, when the sale of the Massa-
chlIsetts avenue heights tract of 2GT
acres was recorded, the volume of busi-
ness closed in the five working days OF
this week surpassed any week of the
new year. totII of 1,277 lots is shown
by the records of the office of the Re-
Ccrder of Deeds to have been trans
ferred this week. This total was
reached as a result of the closing of 1l3
transactions.
Activity In Suburbs.
Increased activity in the sale of sub
urban property-that sure harbinger of
suring-set in this week and has en-
couraged the brokers to predict that
the spring trade of 1911 will exceed the
unprecedented business of last spring,
when all records in the Recorders office
were smashed.
The suburban sales almost monopo-
lized the business of the week, showing
total of 1853 lots sold out of the
weeks record of 1,27. In the near-urban
dlstrict fOrty-five lots were transferred.
and in the northwest forty-eight
lots changed owners. In the other sec
tions the record of lots sold is: South
east seventeen, northeast twelve, and
southwest two.
If the number of papers filed with the
Recorder of Deeds be accepted as a
safe criterion, the business of the real
estate brokers for February, 1911, will
far excel the results of their efforts last
February. So far this month the figures
in the Recorders office exceed by $50
the total number of papers recorded in
the first twenty-five days of February,
1910 Should the record for the remain
ing days not fall short of the Corre-
spending days Of last year, the second

RUSSIA MAY RE ASKED TO EN-
PLAIN EXPULSION OF
AMERICAN CITIZEN
FROM PERSIA.

WASHINGTON. Nov. ao.--ln the
opinion OF diplomats here w, Nor
gan Shuster. the American citizen
hom Russia IL about to expel sron
Persia. Will eventually precipitate
an acute question between the Unit
ed States and Russia.
1t Is learned from unquestioned
authority that Mr.. Shuster IL armed
with letters from President Taft and
State Department officials. While
this does not make him an agent OF
the United States, II does make his
expulsion OF "a greater affront than
would otherwise be the case.
Friends of Mir. 6huster. who Is a
resident of the city. arc OF the opin-
ton that whether or not he Is an
empioye OF the State Department the
circumstances of his humiliation de-
nand that full explanation be had
from Persia If she is Responsible, or
from Russia.
1t was ascertained from an au-
snori.ative source today that the
ARRANGEMENT between Persia and Ir.
Shuster Is based on three-year
contract Russia has now forced
tho abrogation OF this contract with
out the consent OF Persia. To Sc
cure payment Mr.. Shuster on his ar
rival mere VIII bppSai W Nbs EtHs%
Department. He Is expected to de-
mand indemnity.
Mr. Shustar will probably be home
within six weeks, and It IL stated
that any communication he may
make to the State Department will
not be frens Teheraa. either By mall
or cable, both OF which are under
Russian censorship. II Ia learned
from an official here that both Eng
land and Russia in their treaty guar
anteed sovereign rights to Persia.
The agreement gave Persia the right
to employ MIR. Shuster without In
reference by Russia
The specific complaint made by
R1tcsia IL that when MIR. shuster
assumed control OF Persian finances
he seized property owned by the old
Persian government.
II Is undersiood here that the
stat Department has abandoned
Mr. Shuster On the contrary. Of
fioials say that his employment by
Persia Is not the question at issue,
but that he must be treated with
the personal consideration due an
American citizen.
The department does not expect
to get the facts until Mr., Shuster re-
turns to America

CARLISLE INDIANS
BEAT BROWN TEAM

PROVIDENCE, X. T.. Nov. so
by means of fast and brilliant play
ing Carlisle won from the Brown
football eleven today by a score of
IL to 6, The Brunonians, however.
were not beaten \ntii the final whis-
tie sounded.
All the scoring was done in the
second quarter. In this period Walsh,
OF the Indians, ran Sc yards for q
touchdown and Thorpe kicked the
goal. Thorpe also kicked two goals
frtm placement Browns touch
down and goal were made by Ash
haugh. He recovered the ball AFTER
blocked kick and carried 1t thirty
yards with the entire Indian team
in pursuit, across Carlisle's goal line.
An enormous holiday crowd filled
the stands that flank the gridiron.
Despite the fact that the game was
played in the forenoon, the patrons
began to assemble early. and when
the first KICKOFF was made there was
not an empty seat, and such little
room az there was TOR standees was
at premium. s'N''''''''
Although the Indians showed
themselves the superior OF their OPP
ponents In the first period Brown
stuhhornly contested every inch OF
ground and managed to forestall any
real attempt to score by Carlisle.
Walsh's run and that of Ashbaugh
were both features Of good con-
test. They were both made with
opposing players trying TO overcome
the ufeat-footed warriors carrying
the ball. Thorpe's kicking was one
of the Indians strongest points.
