 Her husband, Henry F. Beaumont, sr., a native of Clarksville, Tenn, who made Nashville his home after their marriage, died 10 years ego.
 Mrs. Beaumont was a woman of large charities and was the first pres ident of the Army Comfort circle of Tennessee, which gathered and distrib- uted both the necessities, the comforts and the luxuries of life to the boys of '9S' who responded to their coun-  try's call in the wars with Spain and the Filipinos.
 Mrs. Beaumont was the official mother of the First Tennessee regi- ment," by virtue of formal appointment from Gov. Robert l.. Taylor, who was chief executive of the Volunteer state in those years, and not only the mem bers of that regiment, but thousands of others, volunteers and regulars alike were the recipients of tho Army Com fort circles administered tions. This so- ciety afterward became state branch of the International Red Cross society and Mrs. Beaumont was also its first president. Several years ago she ac- companied an invalid son, Joe L. Beau mont. to Los Angele- and since his death, which occurred in November 1910, has made her home there, where she will be inferred.

no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass. n running sore. 1t was
awful: the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle OF Cuticura Re-
solvent, o box Of Cuticura Ointment.
and a bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed. washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap. and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
It has never come back again. His
