FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS

Atchison, Kan.-"For q number Of
years 1 suffered very greatly from skin
eruption. My face was very red and
irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimples
were scattered over my face. They
were a fine rash with the exception of
a few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as if exposed to either heat or
cold. 1t was not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.
I was recommended to use Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
II applied the Cuticura Ointment In
the evening, leaving It for about FIVE
minutes, then washing 1t OF with
Cuticura Soap and hot water. I wash
ed with the Cuticura Soap and hot va.
ter also several times during the day.
After about four months Of this appli-
cation, my face was cleared Of the
pimples. I still use the .Cuticura
Soap" (Signed) Miss Elsie Nelson.

Papers to Hereafter
Charge Legal Rates

In an interview published in the Reno
Journal in regard to the work accom-
plished at last weeks meeting of the
Nevada Press Association. at Reno.
President W. w. Booth said:
"In the agreement reached by the
editors the charge of the legal rate for
all legal printing. the income of every
newspaper in the State will be increased.
Heretofore but little attention has been
paid to the charging of the legal rate
and as a consequence the papers have
lost money. IL has been stated that
certain papers wonld offer reduction
in order to secure the legal printing,
but now that all the papers will charge
on the one basis it will mean that the
cut. throat method of doing business is a
thing of the past.
During the session of the press
association, it was remarked that if
the editors had no respect for their
calling, the public would also be with
out respect, aud this was applied to
the practice of reducing the rate for
legal advertisements. There was not a
dissenting vote on the question, which
assures the success of the agreement

THE BOUNTY ON SCALPS
Trappers and Hunters Taking
Advantage of New Law and
Are Making Money

Reno Gazette: Washoe County is at
present facing a grave problem due to
the new Noxious Animal bounty law
aud Commissioner George Perkins says
that the law may result in the bank.

couuties in the State, unless the Com
missioners refuse to pay any bounties
on noxious animals for at least year.
He says that the same thing is about
10 occur as occurred in California years
ago when the State was paying bounty
on noxious animals and thousands of
scalps were shipped in from other
States and bounties were collected upon
them, the claim being made that they
were killed in California.
Last year, when the bounties we're
lower, Washoe County paid out all to.
gether the sum OF 1856 on bounties on
noxious animals, but this year will be
called upon to pay oot many times that
amount.
The first month of the year 1912 the
Commissioners were presented with
bills for $500. one man atone presenting
bill for S446. At this rate the county
would be called upon to pay out $l0,320
this year, but the amount will be much
larger each month aud the commission
ers say that they expect to be called
upon TO pay nearer SO. 900 than $40. 900
this year on bounties.
NetD LatD in Effect
The new law makes il necessary for
The Commissioners of each county TO
pay bounty of 81 on coyote scalps, 81
on lynx or wild cat scalps, $5 on noun.
tain lion scalps, 90 cents on badger
scalps, and II cents on gopher scalps.
The Commissioners say that they did
not provide for the payment of these
bounties in the last tax levy and that
therefore they will not be able to pay
any bounties this year but will have to
lay all their bills over until next year,
after a new tax levy is made.
The Commissioners state that the
hunters not only secnre the bounties
but they receive high prices for the
skins OF the animals and that the kill.
ing Of noxious animals is now quite a
profitable business. AS result there
are hundreds of men out in the hills
Killing animals for their scaips aud
skins.
They say further that the County
Clerk is receiving many letters from
trappers aud hunters in California in
regard to the bounty law OF this State
and that it will be an easy thing for
these men to kill wild animals in Cali
fornia and collect a bounty on the
scalps from the county of Washoe in
Nevada. The Commissioners say that
1t is a grave question and one that
should be investigated.

Which Took Place In Chi

Doubtless in the rummage Of a good

still be found elaborate and ornate

Jan. p, 1867. Nearly 100000 of those
chances were sold at 50 per chance.

sale had closed.
This beautiful theateT, famous in its
day, was erected by Uranus II. Cros-
by, prosperous wholesale liquor mer-
chant, who went to ChiSago from Mas
sachusetts, says the Kansas City Star
He planned so magnifcently that
when he had his building finished and
furnished he had put into it not only
all his business money, but most Of
his private fortune as well. the fnsti-
tuition standing him about 100000
1t was too early for a temple of art"
in Chicago, and the builder went
broke. Then it was that the plan to
sell the house by lottery was formed
and carried out. The prospectus de-
scribed the building and its furnish
ings, the latter including a number of
very costly paintings. For months the
sale went on. The purchasers covered
the whole country. The hopes Of the
winners ran high, not only because of
the capital prize. the opera house It
self, but because Of the lessee. prizes,
especially the paintings.
The drawing was directed by a
board of men representing n half
dozen cities For two days before it
took place train loads Of ticket holders
rolled into Chicago On the Sunday
preceding the Monday Of the drawing
the streets were crowded. ImpFovised
sleeping accommodations had to be
provided for the vast throug. Every
hall as well as every hotel and board
ing house was filed to it's capacity
The grand prize was not reached IN
til the one hundred and thirteenth

was not in Chicago, one Of the few
who had forgotten all about his in
vestment and knew nothing at the
time of the drawing, 4. II. Lee Of
Prairie du Rocher, III. Several Of the
paintings, including Bierstadts The
Yosemite Valley" were drawn by Mr..
Crosby.
Four days after the drawing Mr..
Lee went to Chicago and accepted his
good fortune. but. in recognition Of
Mr.. CrOsby's high purposes and the
sacrifices they had cost him. offered
to sell him the theater for 100000
which price was paid to him by Mr..
Crosby out of the proceeds Of the lot
terry. This restoration Of fortune did
not last long The opera house was
destroyed in the great fire of 1871.
