BABY'S ECZEMA RAPIDLY SPREADING
Face Almost a Solid Sore. Mother Thought He Was Disfgured for
 Life. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured Him. Now a Prize Winner.

604 College St.. Greenville, Tenn. -" "The disease began upon bsby's ears at about six months old by little pimples forming. which he would scratch and make sores It became more deeply seated and was rapidly spread ing. His face was almost a solid sore. He would bring the blood from his face till it would run down and stain his dress His hands and legs had begun to break out the same as his face and you can imagine how it would dishgure big fat baby to have his face almost solid sore. I thought he was dis figured for life.
 T used all kinds of salves and remedies, but nothing effected cure. Then gave him his bath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Ointment, which began to dry the sores and in few days they were healed and scaled of and he was well, with only red scars showing where the deepest sores had been. Now you couldn't tell he ever had a scar on his face Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured him com pletely. Now he is sixteen months old and weighs thirty-hve pounds and carried of the blue ribbon at the Greene County Fair for the finest looking boy under two years" (Signed) Mrs. N. B. Verran, Nov. 27, 1911.
 Not only are Cuticura Soap and Ointment most valuable in the treatment of eczemas and other distressing eruptions of skin and scalp of infants, children and adults, but no other emollients do so much for pimples. backheads. red, rough skins, itching, scaly scalps, dandrlff. dry. thin and falling hair, ohapped hands and shapeless nails. nor do it so economically. A single cake of Cuticura Soap (26c.) and box of Cuticura Ointment (50c are often sufficient when all else has failed. Sold by druggists and dealers through out the world. A liberal sample of each mailed free, with 32-p. book. Address, "Cuticura.' Dept T, Boston. Tender-faced men should shave with Cuticura Soap Shaving Stick.

HEARD AND SEEN UNDER
 THE GREAT WHITE DOME
ny WALTER HARPER

Washin gton, February S-tSpeclaL) Whats before the House" It was a quiet but strange voice at my elbow. was conscious that some one had walked into the gallery and taken a seat next to me. thought IL was one of the boys-one of the faith ful in the press gallery-and did not look up until he spoke.
 When Ielooked around I was face to face with one of the homeiest faces in America A little short, narrow, knotty figure was perched on the seat next to my own We were the only occupants of the gallery at the time.
 It was John Temple Graves one of w. R. Hearsts editors. He had just dropped in to get some local color. He had conie to take a drink at the foun- tain of political activity, where all sue cessfn editors must come at one time or another.
 As l looked on the knotted but bril- liant features of this man who has made a most satisfying success of his life in spite of one or more serious handicaps an incident of his early ca . reer in Alabama flashed back into my memory.
 Many years ago John Temple Graves was employed on the staff of the Hot Blast at Anniston. He was taken seri- ously i'll and for some time was confined to his room on the second floor of the Lrinting office just off Noble street.
 An associate on the paper gave him faithful attendance and nursed him through his illness. one morning the associate came into Graves room and found him greatly agitated. He was near the crisis Of his illness and his bad state of mind alarmed his friend.
 After many efforts to calm him the friend. not knowing just what to do. suggested that he call in minister and give him spiritual consolation, Graves mad not made particular pretentions at religion and his friend thought this m sn iid not he neglected.
 '..No. that is not what Is worrying
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-09

me- declared Graves, impatiently. "l
 was just worrying about how you would 1 manage to get my coffin down those
 plaguey narrow stairs if died in this hole"
 Prior to his editorial experience al Anniston, MT. Graves did editorial work on the old Courier at Rome, Ga. Dur ing these periods he gave but little promise of his later brllliancy al the desk and on the platform. At Rome he is remembered to this day as the aziest man who ever court ed dame fortune with the pen and scis- sors in that city Indeed, it Is said that he used his pen but little while he tiled l his space on the editorial page with the i scissors and even his clippings showed l lack of care and proper selection. | But Graves knew his business. He
 has succeeded and his success is of the highest order He has the knack of do- ing a few things well and without great effort And he gets q financial reward that many others fail to get with hard work, long hours and untiring effort
 Perhaps John Temple Graves knows the secret
