BABYS HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then ii would
break out again and II spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until It was on
his hands and arms. ] bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors TO treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had II about six months when q friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began 10 improve.
He began TO take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them TO fail to cure what l put
them on. | think Cuticura IS a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it, Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

May ! speak to you alone, judge?"
Certainly" replied the lawyer.
He was about 10 draw her aside
when Capt. Clinton interfered.
"One moment" he said gruffly; IF
this is all open and above board, as
you say 1t is, judge-Td like to ask
the young lady few questions.
Certainly, by all MEANS" said the
Judge quickly.
The captain turned and confronted
Annie, Addressing her In his GUS
tomary aggressive manner, he said:
You promised Judge Brewster that
you'd produce the woman who called
of the shooting? Annie made no
reply, but looked at the lawyer. The
captain grinned as he added: The
witness wants instructions, Judge"
You can be perfectly frank, Mrs.
Jeffries," said the lawyer reassuringly.
I'VE have no desire to conceal any
thing from Capt. Clinton"
Annie bowed
Yes" she said slowly; Il promised
Judge Brewster that she would come
here tonight"
Did she promise to conner" growled
the captain.
Yes"
she hasn't come yet" she replied,
"but she will. I'm sure-I know she
will"

Annie hesitated a moment and
glanced at Mr. Jeffries. Then she
said hestatingly:

large summer amusement parks for

one of the "thrillers" that abound in
such places.

d HILADELPHIA.-A most interest
ing machine recently installed in
the United States mint in this city
is the automatic weigher for coins of
all denominations. Last year the gov
eminent coined nearly S,500,O0O pieces
of gold and 36,0OO,O00 pieces of silver
Formerly each piece was weighed by
hand. Seated at long tables, each
with balance in front of her, were
from 80 to so women "adjusters." 1t
was their duty to weigh each piece.
Pieces which were too heavy were re-
duced with a file. Those that were
too light were thrown aside to be put
again into the melting pot Gold pieces
were weighed twice, once in blank and
once in coinage
The new weighing machines have
each ten balances which are set &C
cording to the required weight of
the coin which is being tested. Then
they work automatically, each machine
taking ten coins at time. The move

termines into which of the several

Revolution Daughter III Years Old

A TLANTA, GA.-Mrs. Mary Tarwick
"A Proctor, aged Ill years, a real
daughter of the American revolution,
a woman who has lived in three centu-
ries, has been found in an humble one
room Georgia cabin. Her sole compan-
ions are her daughter, Miss Mary Proc
tor, aged 80, and the two great-great-
grandchildren, descendants of another
daughter, all who are left of six gen
erations Of her family.
On a bed of straw, constituting a
mattress so thin that the rough plank
sslats can be seen, this daughter of
she revolution lies, her form enact
ated, skin wrinkled, almost to a skele-
ton. Her aged daughter, never tir-
ing of her feeble efforts to give her

tell her t-great-grandchildren Of
the epoch-making incidents in IL dec
AIDES over which her life has spanned.
Her stories were vivid kaleidoscope
pictures, treating of her personal
knowledge of the early stages of the
history of her own land.
The morning of her life she spent in
the eighteenth century, when the
United States government had just
been established; the afternoon in the
the nineteenth century, when
brother fought against brother
in the Civil war of 1861,
and now in the twentieth she
hears of the discussions of worldwide
peace movements, of long journeys by
airships, in striking contrast to the
methods of travel when she was a
girl and the modern methods of doing
a thousand things in as many different
ways so foreign to those employed a
hundred years ago, when she was II
years old. XII

Anew YORK.-More than $1,000,000
IL is lying in the savings banks of
New York city in what banking peo-
pie call dormant accounts" that is
accounts to which nothing has been
added and from which nothing has
been withdrawn for many years. But
the depositor in each case is liable to
appear any day and demand it. In
fact, since the beginning of the year
five accounts in the Emigrants' Saw
ings bank alone, which had been I'M
touched for from % to 80 years, sud
denly became "active," through the
owners, who had not been seen nor
heard from in that long period, reap
pearing at the bank. Some Of these
dormant accounts are more than 20
years old; none is less than %, and
what to do with such deposits has
been puzzle ever since savings banks
were first established in that city.

Dormant Accounts Reach Big Total

Money at four per cent interest per
annum doubles itself in abouC Is years,
and as four per cent. is the average
rate paid by the savings banks in New
York, it will be seen that the ''un-
claimed money or dormant accounts,
unless checked would pile up enor-
mously in the course of time and be-
come such a burden that the banks
might collapse under it. At first the
limit was fixed at 20 years, but later
was extended to p years.
Most of these sleeping accounts
were originally sums Of only So or
$40, fag-ends of accounts which once
were active. The owners perhaps had
left these small balances simply to
keep their accounts open and finally
perhaps forgot all about them. But
many OF the accounts represent money
deposited by some enigrant who later
probably went west or to some other
section Of the new country, and. I'M
able to write, had never again got in
communication with the bank
Several of the deposits were made
by men for the benefit of some child
or other person, while number OF
others represent the savings of seafar-
ing men who had sailed away and for
some reason never returned.

Some Kansas merchants have
threatened to apply for an Injunction
to prevent the publication Of the class

back word that the merchants might

because of the deadbeat list which they

Wonderful Machine Now in the Mint

chutes the weighed coin shall drop. II
it is too light, the scale beam moves
up and the coin is dropped into the
Lights" If it is too heavy the scale
beam drops and the coin falls into the
"heavies." If it just balances the coin
drops among the coins which are of
the proper weight. The work is very
rapid and very accurate. There are
eight of these new machines IN use
at the mint, and they have displaced
"a women, who each received two dol
lars day.
Another important improvement at
the mint is the automatic, self-feeding
coming presses. The blank coins were
formerly fed in by hand. The new
attachment consists of a hopper, at
the bottom of which is a copper disk
perforated with holes the size of the
coins which are being stamped. When
the machine is in motion this disk re-
wolves slowly, and the blanks drop
through into stacking tube, whence
they are carried by little clutches and
placed under the stamp. Similar ma
chimes are in use in manufacturing es-
adjustments where small articles like
buttons have to be placed under dies,
but Uncle Sam never adopted the in
vention until now
Under the new plan, one man feeds
seven or eight presses with the blank
coins, and when the hopper Of a ma
chine is filled it runs itself.
