Some one over the phone yester.
day afternoon called our attention
to an Act establishing a county
board Of health. We suppose tho
object Of the reference was for the
purpose Of showing the authority
of the commissioners to appoint a
local health officer under the law
passed by the last legislature. If SO,
we think the party calling US up is
in error. The Act of 1906 establi-
shes county board of health to
consist Of the county physician,
sheriff and board Of county COM
rnissioners. The Act of 1906 was
repealed by the Act of 1911, and
certainly the commissions RS could
not act under law that was no
longer in force. This they die il
they appointed local health
officer under the Act Of 1905.

Titles In Enoland.

Forty or fifty years ago few people
in England had titles. There were.
only a.few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix "Sir"
before their names. We all of us
looked down with lofty contempt
upon the counts and barons that we're
SO plentiful in continental countries:
Now we a do SO no longer, for
probably there is mo other country in
the world where the traffic in titles
is. SO open and SO indecent as in Eng
land. What the number of our deco
rations is I do not know, and I mag
Inc that few do. Every few years
some new one is created and an Eng
1ishman with a taste that way ear
easily manage to exhibit himself COW
cred with metal disks and bits Of
ribbon like some successful COW at an
agricultural show. These embellish-
ments may fatter the vanity of their
wearers, but they do not increase the
respect that is felt for Englishmen.-

Of Isabelle Juggling away at the other

separate the combatants.

child as Allen neared them, BILLY is

Here Allen joined the fracas and
quickly hauled the dogs apart.

IN AGONY WITH ITCHING

About four years ago | broke out
with sores or my arms like boils. Al
ter two months they were all over my
body, some coming, and some going
away. In about six months the boils
quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an itching, burning
rash. 1t would burn and itch, and
come out in pimples like grains OF
wheat. l was in a terrible condition;
l could not sleep or rest. Parts of my
flesh were raw, and l could scarcely
bear my clothes n. could not lie
In bed in any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then l suffered agony
with the burning, itching sores. |
could hardly. walk and for a long time
could not put on socks.
All this time I was trying every
thing I could hear of, and had the skill
of three doctors. They said it was
eczema. l got no benefit from all
this. l was nearly worn out. and had
given up in despair of ever being cured
when l vas advised by a friend to try
Cuticura Remedies. l purchased Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent,
and used exactly as directed. | used
the Cuticura Remedies constantly for
four months, and nothing else, and was
perfectly cured. It is now a. year, and.
1 have not had the least bit since. l
am ready to praice the Cuticura Rem
edies at any time. (Signed) E. l..
