To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan

beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT

CAMPAIGN TO SAVE BABIES
Before All Things, the Need Of Pure
MlIks Comes First, According
to All Authorities

II is estimated that baby nursed
by its mother has approximately ten
times the chances to live that bottle
fed baby has. All welfare workers,
therefore, are advised to encourage
mothers to make every effort to carry
out this most important maternal
duty.
A clean milk supply is fundamen-
tai need. The ideal Is: Nothing short
of clean milk for everybody. But the
need for the prompt remedy of bad
milk conditions is more urgent in its
relation to the welfare of babies than
to that of adults. since dirty milk is
largely responsible for the occurrence
of diarrhoea and enteritis, the most fire.
quent causes of death among infants
The remedy lies in the intelligent and
effective inspection of farms, the
shops where milk is sold, and In ordi
nances governing the sale of dipped
or loose" milk.

Gettysburg, July 5.-The regular
army paid tribute yesterday to the
thousands who sleep under the hills OF
Gettysburg. Somewhere down in the
heart of the tented city bugle sang
out a silver-sweet call that wandered
over the field where Lee and Meade
made history. The big flag before the
headquarters of General Liggett flash
ing in sudden curves of red and white
and blue, glorious in the sunshine OF
perfect July day, came slowly half way
down the shaft In front of the tent
shoulders squared, figure trim in sum
mer uniform of white, face toward the
flag, the general clicked heels to-
gether and stood at attention.
Somewhere the guns of the third bat
terry burst into staccato salute. Every
officer over the length and breadth Of
that wide field, every enlisted man
turned away from the duties of the
moment and faced the flag, heels to
gether, heads up and eyes alight with
the sentiment of the hour.
AS the last gun of forty-eight sem
the echoes Gathering about Seminary
Ridge and Round Top, there was
solemn silence, the hush of peace. Ole
veterans who did not realize, perhaps
exactly what was going on, stood
silent under the spell of the universe
feeling that seemed to sweep the field
Even the clatter of pots and pans il
the mess tents was hushed and the
yells of cooks about to serve the mid
day meal lowered to whispers.
For five minutes the camp was quiet
Then the bugles spoke again in note!
more sonorous. The silken flag leape(
up the flag staff to it's very pinnacle
and the noise that 10000 men cal
make, resumed its sway, the regula
army's tribute to the dead and to TIT
flag Jof a reunited nation.
That five minutes silence was prob
ably the last formal mark of the semi
centennial celebration. Only few min
utes before President Wilson spoke il
the big tent to the veterans in blu'
and gray and only short time after
ward thousands of those who wer'
left began their preparations for de
parture.

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
I began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first 1t was very small but
soon it began to spread until 1t formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights I could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching It
would burn SO dreadfully that I
thought I, could not stand It. For near.
ly a year, I tried, all kinds Of salves
and ointment, bat found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make 1t worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run r.,
"One day I saw an advertisement Of
Cuticura Remedies. Lgot a sample of
the. Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-

with the Cuticura Soap, then applying
