BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and IT. 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 1t was on
his hands and arms. l 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 it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. l sent and
got bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to 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. ! don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il 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 put
them on. | think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

Commerce Ruling
Favors Railroads
Complaint on Live Stock Rates from
West to Mississippi River is
Dismissed.
From a. Staff Correspondent J

WASHINGTON, June 17.-(Special Tele-
gram)-ln the case affecting the rates on
live stock from Kansas City and points In
what is known as Kansas territory to ST.
Louis and other Mississippi river crossings
the railroads have won a temporary vie
tory. The result affects Omaha equally
with Kansas City. The live stock and prin-
cipal business organization of Kansas City
protested against the increased rates on
live stock which were announced by the
railroads crossing Missonri last summer
These higher tariffs were ordered sus-
pended until June 10 of this year pending
investigation.
The opinion and order OF the commission
issued today recites that as the proceeding
involves the allegation OF unjust discrlm-
ination and undue preference and advan-
tage as between the live stock markets at
Kansas City, Omaha and Chicago. since
the commission has before 1t only the rate
from one OF these markets, namely Kansas
City. It is manifestly impossible upon the
issue presented and the record made to
come TO any conclusions. II is further de-
clared that insofar as the question of
reasonableness is concerned the matter di-
rectly involves the larger question of the
reasonableness Of through transportation
charges from points west Of Kansas City
to the consuming centers of the east and
as there are not before the commission the
proper parties or the necessary informa-
ton, no conclusion can be reached upon
the issue in this proceeding.
For these reasons the suspension OF the
rates involved will not be further contiAued
and the order suspending them IL cancelled
without prejudice to any OF the interests
involved.
