BURNED TERRIBLY
Face and Head Fairly Raw. Pin
ned in Blanket to Keep From
Scratching. Mother Had to
Rock Him All Night. "Cuti-
cura" Cured Him.

Il Baker ST., Patchogue. n. Y.-"Shortly after
my little nephew was born, his eyes became
swollen and infamed. and then the Inflammation
spread all over his face and neck. His face and
head were fairly raw. He would go to sleep,
then water would pour out Of his face. His suf-
fering was terrible that his mother never slept
In bed for four months, she had to lie on q
couch alongside his cradle and rock him all
night. His head was so bad that 1t always had
to be wrapped in silk handkerchief. He
scratched bis face until 1t bled. Every night his
little body had to be pinned In a blanket as
to keep him from scratching. He had ii for nine
months. Every one who saw him said that he
had the worst looking face they had ever seen on
a baby. One doctor said that the baby's face.
neck and head itched and burned SO terribly that
if the baby could talk, he would wish himself
dead.
I'VE used different ointments advertised to cure
eczema, but with no relief. Then / wrote for
samples of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. and my
sister, after trying, seeing that they eased him,
bought the Cuticura Remedies. The only relief
he would get would be when his mother would
wash him with Cuticura Soap, and then apply
the Cuticura Ointment. He stopped scratching.
and when she had used three cakes OF Cuticura
Soap and four boxes of Cuticura Ointment. his
face was healed. He is now q year old, and has
as pretty skin any baby ever had. There is
not d scar on his face anywhere, and he has
q fine head Of hair. Cuticura Soap and Ointment
completely cured him. (Signed) Miss Lille VAL

CITY HEADS LOSE FIGHT.
Special Appeal From Ruling in Al
ley Issue Is Denied.

The Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia, in an opinion by Chief
Justice Shepard. has refused the re-
quest of the District Commissioners
for special appeal from the ruling OF
Justice Barnard in alley condemnations.
The lower court held that the Commits
sioners must show the necessity for
the alley before it would swear jury
to condemn the land. The Commits
sioners claim the opening of alleys are
within their discretion, and say the
court exceeds it's authority in attempt
ing to require them to prove the need
for the alley.
In refusing the special appeal Chief
Justice Shepard pointed out that time
would be saved by having the case pro
coed to final judgment and then note
an appeal in regular course. Under the
rules of the Appellate Court the hear
ing on the special appeal, if allowed
would not occur until October. and a
regular appeal would reach a hearing
within a short time thereafter.

LIQUOR NATIONS CURSE,
SAYS DR.. HARNSbERGER
Responsible for Most of Crime,
Pauner;e"' insanity
and IdioCy.

Speaking before the Medical Society of
the District Of Columbia at the Public
Library last night. DR.. Stephen Harms
berger of Catlett, Va, declared that
drunkenness and the liquor habit are re-
sponsible for 75 per cent Of all the
pauperism of the United States. IS per
cent of all crime committed in the coun-
try. is per cent of all the cases of feeble-
mindedness and idiocy, and 80 per cent
Of all insanity.
Statistics of medical societies, hos
pitfalls, asylums. boards Of health, state
and the federal government" said DR..
Harnsberger, bear out this statement.
In my own state of Virginia asylums and
hospitals cannot be built fast enough to
accommodate the ever increasing numbers
Of insane, idiots, paupers and detectives
whose condition is directly attributable
to the use of liquor, either by the indi-
viduals themselves or by their parents.
Habit Is Transmissible.
Fifty years ago, as records will show
such detectives and degenerates were
rarely seen. But the habit and the eff
fects Of drunkenness are transmissible,
especially through the mother, and it is a
fact that the race as a whole is becoming
weaker in this manner.
Dr. Drewry, in a recent report, said
that in single generation the number
or insane persons sent to hospitals and
asylums has increased 500 per cent. Fig
ures compiled by the school authorities
and the public health officials Of Boston
for last year show that 65 per cent % the
children in the public schools of that city
are mentally or physically defective,
this condition being charged to the habit
ual use Of liquor by the parents of these
detectives or by remoter ancestors
The abolition of saloons, said the speak
er. will not cure the condition; the cure
must be wrought by sympathetic and
systematic training and teaching In the
home and the schools.
Each Costs $1,000 a Year.
That each habitual drunkard and bum
during his or her life costs the District
of Columbia at least $1,000 was the state
ment made by DIR. d. Percy Hickling.

Asylum Hospital another speaker. That
these drunken buns are most frequently
