irritated, and he would scratch it with
all MS might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised US to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby

One Gotham Traction Company There
Trying Out New Type of
Coach.

New York.-The New York City
Railways company is trying out this
week the first samples Of a new type
OF street car which probably will be
adopted throughout the city. The car
Which IN appearance differs vastly
from any others at present in use, is
the notion of two officials of the COM
pany and IS designed primarily with
a view to ease and safety in boarding
and alighting, the floor being only ten
inches above the roadway.
OutWardly the new car resembles
a torpedo, although the name the Off
Gals OF the company attach to it is
the "stepless car" It is forty feet in
length. The extremities are rounded
and the wheels are incased, causing it
apparently to slide along the tracks.
The principal feature is the slight dis
lance the passenger IS required to step
either IN boarding or alighting from
the car. as entering is like stepping
from the street to the curb
Ihere is no front or rear platform,
passengers entering and leaving
through side door. The conductor
sits at one side behind miniature
desk, Where he makes change and
issues transfers. The doors are au-
lomatlc and cannot be opened while
the car is in motion. The seating ca
paclty IS fifty passengers and there is
standing room for thirty more. Seats

AN AID FOR TOURISTS

The Jungfrau railway, even as far as
it runs at present, is 1877 feet higher
than the Gornergrat railway (10,345
feet), but when 1t is carried to Jung

will be much the highest railway in
Europe. although not, as the Swiss
say, the highest railway In the world,

worlds champion ice cream eaters, ac-

makes the ice cream, and it has been

fed into one end and the completed
product emerging from the other at
