COURT DEF|ED BY

Standard Officials Refuse to
Answer QueStions-Disso

NEW YORK, Sept. 19-That the
dissolution" of the STANDARD Oil Com
pany was a farce and will be proved
such was the declaration made today
by Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
Waters Pierce Oil Company defend
ant in a suit brought to force it to
recognize as directors three men elect
ed last February and rejected from the
board on the claim that they were rep
resentatives of the old STANDARD Oil
Company who sought by such a meth

a dissolution in name only" asserted
Mr. Untermeyer.
About ten witnesses had testified

In nearly every case they have shown
a defiance to the instructions of Com

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mer So Pronounced That 1t
VIII Be Repeated.

Mothers OF little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part of July last summer will be
interested in the success of the baby
tent" scheme adopted in some Of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fat roofs OF
tall buildings and in open lots, with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent. When all was ready mothers
of babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, so that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege of sleeping out of doors, could
also receive the attention Of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton 1t greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some Of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare Of the baby at heart.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

IT wish to let you know of a couple
Of recent cures which have made by
the use Of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. Of this city
came to my office, troubled with q
severe skin eruption. At first could
not understand the nature Of the case
until I had made a careful examina-
ton. I finally traced it to his occu-
patton, as he was painter and deco
rator. 1t was dermatitis in it's worst
form. 1t started with q slight erup-
ton and would affect most parts Of
his body-thighs, elbows, chest, back
and abdomen-and would terminate in
little pustules. The itching and burn
ing was dreadful and he would almost
tear his skin apart. trying to get re-
lief. I recommended all the various
treatments I could think of and he
spent about fifteen dollars on prescrip-
tons but nothing seemed to help him.
'In the meantime my wife who was
continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been trying
different prescriptions and methods
with my assistance, told me she was
going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them trial. Her
skin would thicken, break and bleed,
especially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. I could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura Soap
and applications of Cuticura Ointment
she saw decided improvement and in
a few days she was completely cured.
II lost no time in recommending the
Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -, and
this was two months ago. told him
to wash with warm baths Of the Cuti-
cura Soap and to apply the Cuticura
Ointment generously. Believe me,
from the very first days use Of the
Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he Is completely
cured through their use. have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced Of their
wonderful merits" (Signed) B. L..

service, the pup had come into the
church and intrenched itself at the
end of a pew, where it yelped noisy
defiance at the worshippers who
passed. 1t was not long before the
janitor realized his duty and started
to perform It, The little animal noted
his approach and retreated behind the
feet of the occupants of the pew and
its intermittent yelp was turned into
a long roll of defiance as the janttor
made frantic grabs at 1t.
The minister gave up the unequal
contest at this point and addressing
the janitor he said:

and many who had come to worship

suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.

then 1 have not had any indigestion

"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease

certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.

The reason for the wonderful

Of the wheat and barley goes through

The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use of for re-
