ERUPTION LIKE PlMPLES

Wathena, Kan.-"My child's scalp
trouble became so bad that + was
ashamed to have anyone see him. His
head had a solid scab on it. He also
had terrible breaking out on his face
which was gradually growing worse:
The eruption was like pimples which
developed into sores when he scratch
ed which he did almost constantly.
Baby would almost scratch himself
raw.
II had used several different kinds
of salve, none Of them helping in the
least bit, when I saw the Cuticura ad-
vertisement in the paper and it made
me think of the good results my sister
had when she used it for her children.
I had only used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about two weeks before
noticed that the sores were almost en-
tirely gone, and it must have been a
month or six weeks he was troubled
before l began the treatment. He
would get easy when I would put the
Cuticura Ointment on him. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment completely cured
him and he has clear complexion
now" (Signed) Mrs. w. H. Hughes,

chiId,s Popularity Exclaimed.

A winning lottery ticket of $780,
900, in connection with the Mobiles
Bank, was recently presented for
payment at the State Bank in St.
Petersburg, and it now transpires
that the owner is an eight-year-old
orphan, and inmate of the orphanage
at Pskoff. The lottery ticket was her
sole possession. Her relatives have
hitherto done nothing for the child,
but when the news of her good for
tune became known they were one
and all eager to adopt her. The au-
thorities have placed her in the
charge of an arch-priest, distant con-
nection of her father.

THE CASE OF
THE PACKERS
Are Still Trying to Escape From the
Net Held Out for
Them.

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, jan Protesting that
the government was seeking to parade
as continuing conspiracy, a few
isolated and disconnected individual
acts, some within the period covered
BY the indictments but most of them
outside OF it, attorneys for the pack
ers on trial before Judge Carpenter
today strenuously objected to the ad-
instability of documentary evidence
offered by District Attorney Wilker-
son.
The government had offered let
ter written by Witness Jerome H.
Pratt in 1904, when he was manager
/ for Armour & Co, on which rotations
had been made, presumably in the
| handwriting of ]. Ogden Armour. II
the letter is admitted it will tend to
show that Armour gave directions for
the sale and shipment oil meat under
syndicate arrangement
Objection was made by Attorney
Ralph Crews for the packers on the
ground that the government had prov
ed no "acts of conspiracy beyond
/ 1902 and now an attempt was being
made to jump to 1904. He declared
that to submit proof against any de-
ifendant except Armour the govern
ment must first show that con-
/ spiracy existed at that time.
Judge Carpenter excused the jury
and heard the arguments. Attorney
Wilkerson declared that this letter
was but another link In the govern
ments chain of continuing acts along
the same general policy. The court
then laid down the following outline
to which the evidence must conform:
THE government attorneys will
have to show a combination OF effort
on the part of the defendants to main
tain monopoly before they succeed
in this case. If they show the con
then show a general situation toward
each defendant has been working, il
is for the jury to say whether, in con
sideration of all the acts and there
was an unlawful combination"
/ The court then announced he would
rule on the admissibility of the letter
on Monday.
The government announced that By
/ Witness Pratt it expected to prove {
continuation OF syndicate agreements
under the National Packing Co, UP Il
September, 1910, Pratt identified {
great number Of documents, all tend
ing to show conditions under which
sales were made, and shipments ant
, prices arranged after conferences be
tween the packers.
