CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

'I can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured It, Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that really
thought her ear would come of. For
months 1 doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then got box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
all used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured Of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. I can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, have a well child" (Sign-

After Oil and Gas Leases.

At the instance of the state tax
commission, Senator Dore introduced
two bills designed to correct existing
abuses in the taxation of real estate
of factories and of oil and gas leases.
Both bills are expected to increase to
a large extent the amount of property
on the duplicate. The tax commission
has found that oil and gas lands have
been escaping taxation for many
years, though leaseholds are much
more valuable than the lands in many
cases. His bill provides that the same
rules governing the assessing of coal
lands and leaseholds for taxation shall
apply to oil and gas lands. There is
a provision which safeguards owners
against paying taxes on values that
no longer exist, through exhaustion of
the minerals. By a second bill, all
real estate, save that of banks, whether
used in daily operation of manufac-
turing plants or not, is put on the
duplicate as real estate. Under pres
ent statutes the realty of factories
and mines is listed as personal prop
erty. A wide abuse has grown up.
In one case that came to the tax COM
missions attention, mine company
listed houses occupied by workmen,
owned by it, as personal property.

USE FOR THE NEWSPAPER
Story That Contains a Moral Il Mlsha
Be Well to Keep In
Memory.

A little King Charles dog, q pet In
a family where he had been the play
mate Of little boy, slipped through
an open door some time ago and dis
appeared. Servants and the children
Of the house searched everywhere,
asked questions at all places where
1t was thought possible the dog might
be in hiding, but to no avail, and the
animal was finally given up for lost
and there was deep mourning in the
nursery. One day recently the wom-
an who owned the dog met a neigh
Dor at a florists shop, who had on q
leash a dog strangely like the lost
pet, and asked where he came from
why, he ran into our house few
days ago and we don't know where he
belongs The dog knew his old mis-
tress and was quickly surrendered.
You might have had him sooner, had
you advertised" said one woman. And
you could have found the owner SOON
er had you advertised" said the other
and the newspaper man who heard
the story added the moral.

Finding county uniform textbooks
impossible, Senator Yount came out
for state uniformity in books for vii
lagos, townships and special school
districts. He introduced his new bill.
The bill, of course, exempts cities. 1t
is similar in its provisions to a bill
introduced into the house several days
ago. 1t provides for a state school
book commission, consisting of the
school commissioner and six to be
named by the governor not more than
four Of them to be of the same politi-
cal party. They are to hold office for
five years, and are to draw s. day,
each, while actually at work. Con-
tracts for books are to be let for five
years. The bill in other details is sub
stantially the same as the one he in
troduced last year.

With all attempts to amend re
sisted, Senator Cetone's bill providing
that the state treasurer let out funds
by competitive bidding was passed un-
animously by the senate. 1t was
drafted by State Treasurer Creamer.
An argument for the bill was Cream
er's showing of interest earnings for
the last three months. During the
time the states funds earned $685.
$3.50, which is an average of $500
a week more than was earned under
the old system of letting out the
money.

Liability Commission Reports.

A majority and minority report,
each accompanied by bill, was pre-
sented the legislature by the employees
compensation code commission. The
majority bill provides that in case of
accident, an injured workman, and i'll
case of death his heirs, cannot sue,
but must accept an amount fixed by
a state board of awards not to ex-
ceed $3,400. The minority bill pro-
vides that suit can be brought if EN-
ploye or heirs are not satisfied with
the award. Both bills provide that
payments for death or injury to EN-
ployes are to be made from state
insurance fund to be raised by pre-,
miums paid in by employers.

A move in favor of the shorter bal
lot was taken by Senator Stockwell
in introducing a bill providing for the
appointment by the governor of the
state librarian, the state school COM
missioner, the dairy and food commits
sioner and the clerk of the supreme
court. All except the state librarian
are now elected. The bill went to the
committee on libraries at Stockwell's
suggestion. He is distrustful of the
committee on privileges and elections,
to which the bill naturally would go.

Senator Deaton introduced a bill
enlarging the powers Of the railroad
commission, but taking from 1t control
OF electric or steam railways within
cities. Intra-city lines, under the bill,
will be required to post at stations a
schedule of rates and charges. These
are now fled with the commission.
The railroad commission is given
power to suspend freight rates of its
own initiative. The commission is
empowered to order comfort stations
on interurban lines and to require rail-
ways to provide sufficient cars.
