RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ltChed So He Could Not Sleep

"on July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to q doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
irritated, and he woNlld scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid 1t 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 1t 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 Cutl-
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
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur.

FOR HUBBY TO PONDER OVER

Get Him Started on Train

The husband and wife were on their
way to the theater when the husband
began kicking because his wife took
such long time dressing.

growled.
Seeing the children to bed, she re-
sponded, quietly.

the man.
The nurse is for our convenience

answered. But the boy certainly
takes after you. He asked the same
kind of a fool question Just as | was
kissing him good night"
Fool question, eh? Well. what was
it?"
4 asked him If he had said his pray,
ers. And he said no. And / asked
him II he didn't want God to take care

The winter afternoon was like June

lawn of the Royal Poinciana at Palm
Beach, sportsman said:
This morning l photographed an

and waded into the water up to his
chin. The boy felt about with his
feet In the mud till he found a big
gator. Then he ducked down, grabbed
the gator by the nose and dragged
him slowly ashore to the waiting

The next day she told her husband
that she was going away, and made a

garden. He must be sure and place
his mufier across his chest when the
wind was east; and he must put the
rug at night under the bottom OF the

The following day she presented her
self to the doctor.
Think Of what 1t would mean to re-

same experience. and yet to go back
back to those days when the skin was
smooth and the flesh firm and the
glorious impulses Of youth swelled
within!
Thus a week later stood Nine. Yer

the latch and walked in quietly. Like
Eve, she had come, once more to tempt
her lover. Forty years had dropped
away from her. Her full figure, erect
and seductive. with the feminine charm
OF youth, and her red lips, inviting
caresses-her soft, rounded cheeks!
What marvel OF modern science!
And, best Of all, she felt, standing
there, that she still loved him, loved
him just the same; for long ago.

hearts had been welded together, and
now what could make her feel differ

She advanced. Her husband had

Her husband smiled at her He drew
her face close to his and looked into

they remained undisturbed by his scru-

BANK RUNS TOWN,
CONNOLLY ASSERTS
Speaker at Banner-Raising
Makes Bitter Attack on
Republicans.

A Wilson and Marshall banner was
raised by the Belleville Democratic
Club last night in front of the club
rooms In William street. near Park
ington avenue. This is the first DEM
ocratic banner raised in the town In
sixteen years. Despite the Sinclement
weather a big crowd turned out.
The Banner was raised to the
strains of the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner," played by a brass band. The
banner bears the portraits of Wilson
and Marshall, Nfestooned in Ameri-
a flags. Dominick A. Walsh was
chairman of the meeting.
Eugene F. Kinkead was the first
speaker. He dwelt chiefly on. the
introduction of his bill in Congress
removing the tariff on meats, and
which,, after passing a Democratic
House. was defeated by the Repub-
hcan Senate. He referred to the fact
that the beef trust was capable not
only of fixing the price of beef on the
hoof when purchasing from the
rsncher, but also fixed the prices
when dressed and sold to the con-
sumner.
After comparing the price in Eng
land and America, the congressman
pointed out what, in his impression,
was an ~exorbitant price demanded
for the beef in America, when it sold
at retail in England for the same
price at wholesale in America.
Joseph A. Connolly, who was de-
feated as a candidate for the mayor
atty last year, attacked the Repub-
lican administration in the town. He
referred to the fact that his oppo-
nents had inscribed an ADVERTISE
ment in a paper on the eve Of cleo
ton putting three questions to him.
1t was too late for him to answer, he
said, and he took the opportunity last
night to reply. .
Councilman Emil c. Mertz, chair
man of the finance committee of that
body, and who is also a member OF
the Board OF. Education and president
81 the First National Bank, was
made 10 bear the brunt of the at
tack. After answering the questions
that referred to improvement of.
Joralemon street and the increase in
salaries for the police force. the
speaker took up the question as to
spending $4,000 for the opening OF
Courtlandt, High and Prospect
streets.
Mr.. Connolly said he did not APP
prove of that expenditure. He. asked
his hearers to remember that not a
spadeful of earth was turned in those
streets until a certain member of the
Town Council, who is a member of
the Board of Education, and presi-
dent of the First National Bank, as
well as chairman of the finance COM
mite of the Council. had secured
property on one of those streets. Mr..
.Mertz. he said, acquired property in
High street.
He referred to the low tax rate at
present. He said hat although this
E due in a great part to having an
efficient Democratic assessor, who
distributed equal taxation throughout
the town, nevertheless it was aided
materially by the Republican Coun-
Gil as a. trick to gain the suffrage
OF the people in the coming election.
He reminded his hearers that Mr..
Mertz was assessed this year at
double the figures he was assessed last
year under a Reprsncan assessor.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-10-25

He pointed out that while $1,000 on
Its road appropriation and 81, 900 for
lighting and the entire appropriation
of $4,000 for the poor had been elimin-
ated by the Council the same amounts
were needed today as before.
The direct result of this action. he
said, would be that the Council would
have the First National Bank furnish
notes to make up the deficit. At this
point he asked the people If they in
tend to allow this town to be gov
erned for and by the Belleville bank.
He said there was at present $22,-
600 in the towns sinking fund, and
this was lying idle in the bank mere
ly drawing interest for the bank, of
which the chairman of the finance
committee was president. He said
that instead of negotiating notes with
the bank the sinking fund should sup
ply the money.
