FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto ON
Oct. Is, 1908. and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be wa
ter blister would form When IL
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were mass Of
scabs and you could not see par
ticle OF clear skin. Other parts Of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some Of them only added to his
suffering and one In particular, the
Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told US to
battle the baby In buttermiIk This
did not do any good, SO we took him
to hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice week and he got
worse, IL anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside OF a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day It
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run it's course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the Same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still

LITTLE MOUNTAIN COAL.
Further West One Goes the Poorer
Cokine Coal Becomes.

Charleston.-The Goals of Ohio be-
long to the Appalachian province and
most of the beds are correlated with
those of Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia to the east and southeast. A
large part of the coke made in Ohio Is
made from coal brought from West
Virginia to ovens at Hamilton, Gin
cinnati and Cleveland. On the other
hand, some Of the coal mined in Ohio
is good blast-furnace fuel in the raw
state and this obFiates the necessity
Of coking. When used raw, however,
this coal is usually mixed with coke.
Ohio ranks fourth among the states
as a coal producer but only four
teenth in the manufacture of coke,
and until 1905, when the first install
lation OF by-product ovens was put
into operation, Ohio could lay claim
to little Importance as producer of
cokes
These and other statistics of the
production of coke In Ohio are shown
by Edward w. Parker. Of the United
States geological survey, in an ad.

ported by the other clergy, placed the
crown upon the kings head. AT that
instant the trumpets sounded, the
congregation shouted Long live King

arms put on their coronets.
The differentiation was a handsome
part OF the ceremonies. The king
was lifted up into his throne by the
archbishops, the bishops and certain
peers; and all the great officers and
those who bore the swords, the scep-
tiers and other regalia grouped them
selves about the steps of the throne.
