The trouble started in the form of n
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch 1t with
all his might The consequence was
1t 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 1t used TO
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. ii was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura

cura Soap and Cnticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars. or

PROMISED TO Be

House That is Threatened This
Afternoon With Complete
Destrucsion.
FIREMAN IS INJURED
,.usrtment Makes Quick Run to 1924
south nth Street IN Answer
to Mrs. Morrows
Call.

What threatened to be serious
Gre was narrowly averted by the
finely arrival of the fire department
This afternoon when an alarm was
sent out from the home Of Mrs. j. w.
Morrow, 324 South Eleventh street.
when the department reached the
house, flames were breaking through
the roof and threatening to spread all
oyer the house. a defective flue is
thought to have been the cause of the
fire.
Mrs. Morrow had just finished her
afternoon work and was preparing to
do some sewing when she stepped out
into the back yard and happened to
look towards the roof and saw flames
shooting out from around the chin
ney. She Immediately sent in an
alarm and had the department on the
scene in few minutes.
After the danger was all over Mrs.
Morrow almost collapsed and is now
suffering severly from the reaction.
A hole nearly five feet in diameter
was burned in the roof but the house
was otherwise uninjured 1t is not
known what the damage amounts to.
On the way to the fire Fireman
Earl Ferguson lost his footing and was
almost thrown beneath the wheels. He
caught himself barely in time and was
unhurt except for a few minor bruises
and strains.
