RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July q, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when We reached England We took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby

On this point he said:
II was glad to learn from The Times
editorial that so many States have abol-
ished capital punishment. Five are per-
haps not many when you consider how
many States there are in the Union, but
the fact that five have acted indicates a
growing sentiment against killing hu-

think it would be certain to have a

Commissioner Rudolph
Would Commute Death
Penalty to Imprisonment

Cuno H Rudolph, chairman Of the
Board of Commissioners Of the Dlstrict
Of Columbia, is strenuously opposed 10
the execution of the death sentence
against Matte z. Lomax, who has
been condemned to die for the murder
Of her husband.
To The Washington Times today Mr..
Rudolph expressed himself vigorously
on this subject. after having read the
editorial concerning the Lomax case
printed on the first page. Of The Times
last evening. He is unalterably opposed
to capital punishment, and declares
that the infection of the death penalty
in the District of Columbia would be
much more deplorable than its infiiction
in any State, for the reason that Wash
ington is the Capital of the Nation, and
that it's laws are made by the repre-
sentatives of all the people
Commissioners Statement.
Mr.. Rudolph is firm in the belief that
the Lomax sentence should be COM
muted TO life Imprisonment. He be-
lieves that unless II is commuted the
United States. as a nation, will stand
forth before the civilized world as hav-
degrading form of punishment which
he declares even organized society has
not the moral right to infiict.
The statement of the chairman of the
District Commission. given to The
Times today, was this:
Il have been a firm opponent of capi-
tai punishment ever since l was a young
man. l have failed to qualify for jury
duty several times in murder cases be-
cause | do not believe society has the
moral right to take human life. I
therefore am unalterably opposed to the
infiction of the death penalty in the
case of Matte Lomax.
81 do not know whether the woman
was guilty or innocent, but / presume
she has had fair trial, and that there
Is no reasonable doubt of her guilt.
This, however, has nothing TO do with
the case.
II would oppose capital punishment
