PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even In
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced It chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
| the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until | commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him. and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came of, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured | don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiful sight. He woulC

KING GEORGE AN ATHLETE
His Majesty Has Practiced Most
Forms OF Manly Exercise and
Especially Likes Shooting.

The kings reception at buckingham
palace recently OF the team OF polo
players who are to represent England
In the United States, recalls the fact
that his majesty played regularly
when he was a naval lieutenant. He
was a good player, too, and could hold
his own with some Of the best repre-
sentatives OF the two services. Almost,
every form OF manly exercise has been
practiced by his majesty. and there
is not the slightest doubt that every
kind Of sport will benefit enormously
during his reign.
Shooting. of course, holds the warm
est place in his majesty's affections.
81 love a gum" he confessed recently,
but am almost as happy when |

Next to shooting and fishing. King
Georges warmest admiration is re-
served for the Rugby code OF football
Not long ago he expressed the opinion
that Rugby was the ideal game for all
ranks of the army aud navy. as II kept
the men "fit," taught them to realize
the virtues OF self-discipline. and te
withstand hard knocks.
Then. again, his majesty is capi
tai swimmer. and has actually savet
life from drowning. This interesting
event took place when, as a youth h

Almost an ANGEL.

George Ade was talking at June
Sedding in Chicago about matrimony.
"Matrimony is perhaps a little too
much idealized," he said. These
June brides, radiant under their white
yeils in a glitter of June sunshine,
seem capable of changing earth to
heaven. but, as matter of fact, they
hre not capable of anything of the
sort.

LAWYERS FOR VERDICT RULE.
They Say That One Man Often De-
featS Ends of Justice.

Wichita, Kan, jan 31.-N1ne-
tenths of the lawyers in Wichita are
said to be in favor of the proposed
new law which would give Jurfes in
civil cases power to bring in verdlcts
on three-fourths vote. Such law
is pending before the state legislature
and it is believed here that it will pass.
The general sentiment among Wich-
ita lawyers is that justice is frequently
defeated by one man on jury. I'm
der the present law one juror is able
to prevent the rendering of verdict
in any sort of case. Not infrequently
the one juror who stubbornly holds
out against the combined opinions OF
eleven other men is obviously in the
wrong. Yet, there is no possible way
to prevent his hanging the jury II he
is determined to do so.
II am most certainly in favor or a
law that will permit three-fourths OF
jury to bring in verdict IN clVli
cases. said E. L. Foulke OF the
Foulke & Matson law firm. "All Wich-
tia lawyers are keenly interested in
the proposed bill on this subject and
I believe that the great majority IA
vor the law.
"A three-fourths vote could bring
in verdict only in civil cases. In
my opinion it would be unconst1tu-
tional to apply the same law to Grim
inaI cases. 1t expressly provides in
the constitution that no man shall be
deprived of his liberty without due
