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 1t 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 it 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 1t about six months when a
friend told me about Cuticura. 1 sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake Of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. 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. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
l put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that I have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Har-
mon, R. F. D. 2, Atoka, Tenn, Sept.
10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a san
pie of each, with 32-page book, will
be mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. 16 L, Boston.

Athletes Who Made Good.

Walter Barnes of Boston, who keeps

Burr, Fish, Wilmington and Fisher,

REGULATION OF PUBLIC UTII.
tiles.

Illinois is on a verge OF Joining
the nationwide program movement
TO place public service corporations
under the control and regulation OF
Public Commissions. Wisconsin was
the leader in this legislation. New
York, Massachusetts and Missouri
have followed her example. The Il
linois legislature is now considering
a bill to enlarge the power OF the
State Warehouse Commission, giving
the authority to fix and enforce rates
OF common carriers. including ex-
press companies. Other bills propose
10 place all public utilities under the
supervision OF this commission. Moth
ing has been more marked in recent
years than the rapid development OF
sentiment in favor of government and
state control of public utilities. Rail
road presidents, who twenty years
ago pinned their faith to the doctrines
'let the public be damned" now adj
NIT that regulation is inevitable. and
welcome IL as a relief from nagEing
special legislation. So far as the Fed.
eral government Is concerned. the
commerce act passed al the last SEES
sion establishes beyond all question
the extreme limit OF government reg
ulation OF common carriers. The in
dividual states have the same power
70 control intra-state commerce. as
the federal government has 20 control
Interstate commerce. and the example
OF the federal government is certain
TO be followed sooner or later by the
more progressive states I'm the union.
In West Virginia We have been
backward in this movement. At the
meeting Of the State Board of Con
troll al Parkersburg. a resolution IA
voring a public utilities commission
was adopted By a considerable vote.
