ECZEMA DlSFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began rs pImplcs, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night. his little face
itched.
we consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all tho medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks. the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q
head OF hair which is Il pride for any
boy of his age. three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.

Policeman Mcdonald
Bitten By A Dog

Officer NJ. S. Mcdonald was painful
ly bitten about the right wrist and
left hand Sunday night about $50
O'Clock while he and Officer Seibert
were after a small dog on South Maple
avenue, and it was necessary for DR.
Hedges to cauterize the wounds.
The officers were summoned to
South Maple avenue to get the dog
which had been badly injured by an
automobile, for the purpose of chloro-
forming the canine to put it out of its
troubles, and when Officer Mcdonald
caught the animal with his bare hands
it turned on him and sank it's teeth
in his wrist, bringing the blood in
several places. A second snap of the
dogs jaws nipped the officers right
hand The animal was brought to the
police station and sent to the canine
heaven via the drug route
The injuries are painful but not
dangerous, and Officer Mcdonald says
as they are not on his feet or legs
they will not handicap him to any ex-
tent in his race for constable.

But we must get back to the propo-
sition of the young girl who may not
yet be actually immoral but simply
vain and weak If that class in our
sociely does not euro its own exhibit

the law should take up the matter in
the interests of decencJ aud family
conservation and erdain that any I'M
accompanied young woman lettering
at public places at unreasonable hours
shall be INTERCEPTED by the police and
sent home forthworth. 1t is very easy
to ascertain whether the subject OF
such Interrogation on any legitimate
erraDd or is simply using the lure of
the street for questionable or improper
purposes. A curfew for irresponsible
young girls of decent families who
should be at home with parents and
friends instead of roaming the streets
at night, would seem to be in order at
