SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. We tried everything We
could but he got worse all the time,
till 1t spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got SO
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch SO that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. l had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was SO weak
and run down hat he took fainting
spells as If he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
HE was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. l
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for a long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on n application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was so soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad I was he felt better. 1t took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake Of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. I think III boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and l shall always remain a firm
friend of them. There has been no
return of the trouble. l shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.

OPEN ALASKA COAL LAND.
Secretary Fisher Officially Announces
Leasing System.

Leasing 0I0tS''s
Chicago-Saying he spoke officially
and with the consent of President
Taft, Secretary of the Interior Fisher,
speaking before the American Mining
congress, declared that the coal lands
comprised in the poblic domain in
Alaska would be available to the pub
lie under leasing system
Secretary Fisher said the govern
ment might operate certain properties
as models and would lease the re-
mainder to private capitalists, under
suitable government regulation. The
amount of land to be leased would be
limited, he said, to the area that could
be mined to meet current demands fol
coal.
The secretary expressed opposition
to the policy of selling coal lands out
right, saying he believed that the
leasing system avoids controversies OF
both extremes of public and private
ownership. He suggested government
ownership and operation of a limites
number of properties as an example
to private owners and to regulate tn,
latter by competition and the leasing
of other fields under fair government
regulation.

Flee City in Terror.

London = From unauthorized dis
patches from Tripoli reaching Eng
land by way of Malta, it is apparent
that Italy's campaign in Tripoli has
already cost more lives than the gov
eminent anticipated, while the finan-
cial outlay will greatly exceed the es-
Inmates.
The Turks, with their Arab allies,
who, at best, it was believed, would
carry on only a desultory campaign,
have made a series of concerted at
tacks in which, according to accounts
sent by correspondents without sub
mission to the censor, Italians have
come off second best.
The Turkish embassy issued state
ment declaring that ip Mondays fight
ing the allies gained a victory, the
Italians losing 800 men killed and 700
wounded. This is confirmed in part
by an independent report that the
Italians brought 700 wounded men in
to Tripoli and further by an announce
ment from Rome that the government
had decided to send forward Is, 00C
reinforcements.
One dispatch which obviously was
roughly handled by the censor, says
wonderful but untrustworthy storie!
about the action are in circulation
but that the Italian rifiemen and artil
1erymen say about 100 Italians were
wounded and that it is asserted hun
dreds of natives were killed in the
palms which cruiser was Smelling.
According to this dispatch a deter
mined attack was looked for befor'
the Moslems' Sunday.
A belated account of Monday
fight, coming by way of Malta, say
the Italians have no knowledge o
what brought about their defeat
The Moslems, thoroughly understand
ing each other, prepared for su
preme effort to stagger or destroy tn
invaders and only by accident did tn
Italians escape deadly ambush.
