PITlFUL 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
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.
mot 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 would
fuss until | would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation.' (Signed) Mrs. r. B.
Rosser Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to "Cuticura," Dept
81 K, Boston.

The comhussihle Give.

AS long ago as the middle of the
eighteenth century, famous Georgian
actress. Mrs. Kitty Give, felt the call Of
tho nerves commonly associated with
modern women. The whole green room,
according to the author of "Garrick
and his Circle" feared her tantrums.
Her character stood high, but her
clean. wholesome nature and honest
heart scarcely Offset her temper She
was the one player Garrick feared. and

he decided; but how7
First of all, something must be done
to bring Gormly himself into the pub
Tic eye in some other capacity. some
higher capacity, some more attractive
capacity, than that of q mere retailer
OF ribbons, so to speak; the public eye
for Gormly being Miss Haldane's Iiq-
uid orbs. And GormIey knew that the
way to private consideration is more
often than not through public inter-
est. He had to do something to justi-
~ himself. therefore, to make himself
known in some enviable way; in short.
he determined to make himself worthy
of her. And again the question arose:
but how?
He had thought vaguely Of the ra-
cling game, of the most magnificent of
yachts, of the finest and speediest of
stables, of the fastest string of auto
mobiles, of thousand similar things
which he had dismissed as unworthy
OF his high purpose and inadequate to
his end; until finally, fortune favoring
him, he hit upon the field of politics.
Miss Haldane in some OF those now
rather requent conferences, had cas-
uaily enough remarked that she liked
men who did things. who really ac-
complished something for good in this
world
Goruly instantly resolved to do
something. Now IL any man really
wants to accomplish good In this
world. there are few opportunities OF
greater possibilities than those pre-
scented in the political arena. There
is also no field in which 1t is harder
to accomplish the end Gormly as a
political force was entirely unknown.
He was without experience. One
requisite, popularity considered vital.
he had, and, that was an abundance of
money. Another requisite he pos
sessed albeit unwittingly, was char
acter. And still third was his, and
that was imagination coupled with
capacity-the ideal and the real; the
dreamer and the practical man in one /!
An irresistible combination that!
Fortune was further kind to him.

elaborate railroad, surface and sub

freight from the water front to the

Snakes in Prohibition Maine.

Snakes emptied two saloons in Port

evenings ago. A nonresident ordered
a box of snakes sent to him from the
south for the purpose of cleaning out
vast number of rats from his place.
The snakes were given a chance to
deconstrate their rat-killing ability
and the large snake destroyed Is in
few minutes. The snakes were then
taken to two different saloons and in
few minutes cleared them of the
crowd.-Kennebec Journal.

TORONTO WILL TEST TEMPER
 OF BIRMINGHAM'S BOLD BARONS
HAS TYRUS COBB
 SEEN BEST DAYS?

Detroit. April 6.-(Special )-That Tyrus Raymond Cobb. considered by many the greatest ball player who has ever lived, Is going back" has been the gist of remarks of sporting editors during the past several days.
 They do not argue that Ty will not be perhaps the most valuable man in the profession this year. But they do contend that he has seen his best days, that, in other words, he has reached the zenith of his glory.
 They declare he is growing stouter, broader about the shoulders and more powerful They contend that he will lose his speed--his phenomenal speed and >will become slugger on the order of Crawford or Lajoie
 It is true that Cobbs work to date has been disappointing to his hosts of friends and admirers. But it is be- lieved that he has shown slow form in into best condition. As is he reported late to the team, and did not have the good ef- fects of the training at Hot Springs. Some days ago, Jennings sent him to French Lick to get in shape and he sends back word that much of his flesh has been lost.
 The fears of local writers are not shared, as a rule. by the fans here, all though 1t is probable that Ty will never be better than he was last season.

MANAGER WORDSWORTH WILL ENDEAVOR TO PROVE FUR THEIR THAT SOUTHERNERS ARE JUST AS STRONG AS EASTERNERS-T LINEUP
There will be a game!

There will be game!
 It will be a regular match game, and the fans who have not seen an exhibition in more than a week will welcome the opportunity of seeing the boys swat the ball and run the bases.
 The game will begin this afternoon at o'clock. and the Barons' opponents will be the Toronto club of the Eastern league.
 There will be another game between the Southerners and the Fasteners to- morrow afternoon beginning at 3 o'clock.
 Manager Molesworth is one who does not believe that there is any justice in the claims of the Fasteners that they are stronger than the teams of the Southern league, and he is going out to prove his contention. So far this season the Barons have played couple of games against team of the Eastern league-Rochester The first game was won by the Barons in easy fashion. The Rochester club won the second, although up to the eighth in- ming they were beaten by big score. In the eighth inning, however, the Barons changed pitchers, and the new one on the mound, rather than run the risk Of fn- turing his arm, permitted the Easterners to hammer him all over the field.
 The Barons will probably send Fie- harty and Sexton to the hill this after noon. Tomorrow Wagner will start the game, and it is probable that Gilroy and Trough or Chenault will finish.
 The probable lineup for today's game will be:
 Toronto-Shaw, right field; O'Hara, cen ter field; Jordan, first base; Bradley, third base; Mullen. second base; Vaughn. short stop; Kelley, left feld Phelps. catcher
 Birmingham-Yantz. right field; Moses- worth, center field; McGilvray, first base; Phelan, third base; Marcan, second base; Ellam, shortstop; Mcbride, left field; FL liott, catcher.

STRAIGHT TALK
 TO HARVARD TEAM

Boston. April 6.-Percy Haughton, liar yards football coach. in an address to the candidates for the team the other night, said:
 Do you realize that Harvard has not scored a touchdown against Yale since 1901? Tn 10 years we have scored just four points, but during these 10 years we have been licked every year except last year.
 Its time to get to work and improve our efficiency so that we can trample on every team including Yale. Dart mouth and Princeton. We've got to lick 'em so they won't be able to lift their heads again for 10 years, and not play so that they can say, as they have in past years: well, you did we'll against Coy's team This year let the devil take the hindmost.
 Now, we're up against Princeton again Do you know what our record has been against them for the past A years? They beat us in 'S2. S3, S5 an1 s6 and the next year we beat them. After that until 1897, when we stopped playing them, they beat us every year. We have had one victory against them in the last 24 years. That's what we've got to boast about; that's what we have to reckon with when we meet them next fall and I can say that it Is really a golden opportunity. and we have to begin now.
 We licked Yale in 1908 because they made some bad mistakes. We have done pretty crudely ever since. The skill and proficiency of the individual player lies in our hands. I am willing to take any blame which is coming to me. If, how ever, you fail to do what is right don't blame any one but yourselves Learn how to run, tackle. kick. pass, catch and interfere. In all the men l have dealt with have never known of one who could do all of these things.
 "Im sick of men being able to do just one thing well, and then be spoken of as a great football player. It's as simple as the nose on your face, if you want to go at 1t right You've simply got to learn all of these things.
 q warn you fellows that unless you can do all of them well you won't be even considered as football players on the field next autumn. You have got to be all-around athletes in the way l have spoken of or you go to the ash heap.
 Just think what team of eleven all around athletes could do on the field. If you want to see where Harvard stands just compare a professional baseball team with a high school nine-then you will see just how far the average Harvard football team is from being what it ought to be.
 You wait too long to begin to learn. You think there's plenty of time be- tween now and next fall. Get busy right away. I'm doing all can to improve the methods and ways of getting the team into the best shape, but I want to assure you that you simply must bend your en- erges to become more skillful players along the lines I have mentioned. That Is all I have got to say. Much obliged"
