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
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 1t was on his
hands and arms. I 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 q
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
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. / 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

best that 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 sam
pie of each. with 32-page book. will

WAGES OF WORKING WOMEN.

a N AGITATION has been started in Massa-
( \ chusetts for the enactment Of law fixing
the minimum wages for which women may work
A commission named to investigate the industrial
condition of working women has made an instruc-
tive report.
The surprising statement is made by the COM
mission and borne out by the facts that Al per
cent. Of the candy workers, 1912 per cent of the
sales women, 1911 per cent. of the laundry work
ers and 23 per cent. of the cotton workers earn
less than $500 per week, and that respectively
67.2 per cent, POS per cent, 40.7 per cent and
$40 per cent. of them earn less than 5000 a week.
The report states that legislation would bring
employers to a realization of their public respon-
sibilites and result in better adjustment of the
interests of the employers and of the women en-
ployes. 1t is also contended that new law such
as that suggested by the commission would do
away with sweat shops and diminish the parsa-
site character Of some industries The law pro-
posed for Massachusetts by the commission is
largely based upon enactments now in force in
Australia New Zealand and England.
If Massachusetts, should have such a law il would
be the first state TO attempt to regulate the wages
of women. OF late great interest is being mani
tested throughout the country in the wages re-
ceived by women AS rule their compensation is
slight. The mass of working women are unor-
ganized. They are not members of unions, and
their rate of wages is fixed by the law of supply
and demand.
AS a result of the widespread agitation the day
is not far distant when the condition of working
women will be materially improved through legis-
lation If public sentiment is not sufficiently ad-
vanced 10 demand minimum rate of wages, il
surely should be far advanced to demand
shorter hours and sanitary conditions for women
who labor.

HIGH PRICES.

" HERE is limit beyond which the manipula
tors Of high prices cannot 60 The con-
sumers revolt. II will be recalled that when the
meat trust began its campaign Of extortion in New
York thousands of women by lessening their pur-
ohases forced the wholesale and retail butchers to
cut down the price of fresh meat
The women have again risen in revolt and this
time the dairymen feeling the effects of their
bitter wrath. Thousands of members of the House
wives League of New York and of the Federation
of Women's Clubs have pledged themselves to go
butterless for thirty days if necessary, to force
a reduction in the price of butter for butter is
now selling at higher figure than itFhas for
many years. The retail price is from SO to- 90
cents pound. In fact there is no indication of
any permanent lowering of the prices Of house
hold necessities or of any other commodities.
There may be something in the reason given
for high prices of farm products-thei falling off
in supply because the production of the farms is
not keeping pace with the increase in population
but such a reason is not convincing. The prices
farmers get and the prices the consumers pay
show that the chief fault iS.@ith the manipulators
riho seem to be able-to control the markets and to
force up prices as high as the consumer will stand
without actual revolt.
The only remedy in sight, Investigations by
commissions having failed bring relief, is to do
as the New York housewives are doing-curtail
the consumption of articles on which the price has
been outrageously increased.

cor has reared It's ugly head, but we should not
be surprised to hear that General Salisbury of the
Wilson forces was claiming ninety-nine per cent.
1t would be small estimate to place the de-
tached force of Wilson supporters under the COM

and if the Wilson forces Of General Salisbury and
Colonel Handy, coaesce they will certainly be in

the insnuations and dark intimations OF skeptcal
but unmilitary Democrats in this city who ma
licousy declare that the Dover conference in be-
half of Judge Parker excited the smiles of the
privates at Dover and was regarded a move
on the part OF General Kenney to land with the
winner 1t would seem to us that General Ken
neys support of Judge Parker shows that he is
anxious to land with the loser
In these warlike movements that have suddenly
developed at Dover we trust that General Benson
and Colonel Denney are keeping an eagle eye on
the camp of the enemy.

century. Today thousands of families

CIVIL SERVICE RULES IN CITIES.

r MPLOYES of city governments to be ap-
H. pointed through a compulsory civil service
is the slogan Of leading business men Of Connecti-
cut who urge that the Legislature pass law with
that end in view.
The merit system would mean that so far as pos
sible only capable persons should be placed in
municipal positions In departments like those OF
the police and iremen good records only would
count for promotions. There would be no ad-
vancement because of political service. The busi-
ness men of Connecticut think that civil service
commission is needed for every city in Connecti-
cut Evidently places in those cities are secured
through political pull.
The pensionng of municipal employees is also
suggested, but one of the advocates of civil SER
vice says pertinenty that il the employees are TO
be pensioned they should gain their entrance in
TO the citys service only because Of merit
Sometimes we complain of conditions in Will
mngton and few critics profess to believe that
we are much worse off than other cities but as
a matter of fact we are not But that is no ex-
cuse for not wishing far better city government
that we have We should always strive for i'm
provement.
Appointments to our police force are no longer
strictly partisan. The volunteer fire department sys
TEN removes the hremen from close connection with
politics. In some of the other departments Of the
yctys service men are retained because of their
merit, and we are gradually but surely coming to
the opinion in Wilmington that the city govern
ment should be conducted solely as civic corpor-
alton. The municipalities of Connecticut which
complain OF too much partisanship in their police
forces might learn something from Wilmington,
and, on the other hand, we could probably learn
much from them.
