Monroe, Wis.-"When my baby was
six weeks old there came a rash on
his face which finally spread until it
got nearly all over his body. 1t form
ed a crust on his head, hair fell out
and the itch was terrible When he
would eoze out in big drops. On face
and body it was in dry form and
would scale off. He was in great mis-
cry and at nights / would lie awake
holding his hands SO that he could not
scratch and disflgure himself I tried
simple remedies at first, then got
medicine, but it did no good
Finally a friend suggested Cuticura
Remedies, so sent for sample to
see what they would do, when to my
surprise after a few applications /
could see an Improvement, and he
would rest better. / bought box of
Cut!cura Ointment and cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and before I had them half
used my baby was cured. His head Is
now covered with a luxuriant growth
of hair and his complexion is ad-

WIDOWS NAME Is CLEARED:
OLD DIVORCE Is SET ASIDE
Conscience Stricken Witness Declares
He Did Not See Mrs. j. w. Hunt
With NobIeman.

New York, April 2.-The decree OF
divorce obtained by the late John
Wright Hunt, a wealthy turpentine
manufacturer, from his wife, who was
Miss Bessie Babcock of Detroit, was
vacated on Monday by Justice Kelly
in the supreme court in Brooklyn. The
ground for the divorce, which was
granted by Justice Kelly July 90, 1910
was an alleged elopement from Paris
with a man who posed as Russian
nobleman.
Soon after Mr.. Hunt obtained the
decree he died in Dallas, Tex. 1t was
fresh evidence gathered after Mr.
conscience pricked that obtained Mrs
Hunts vindication.
The Hunts were married in 1901
Mr.. Hunt was. an elderly man; his
wife a young girl. They went abroad
and soon dispatches began to tell OF
their diff culties. There was story
in 1909 to the effect that Mrs Hunt
had eloped with Russian, yariously
called prince and a count, named
| Alexander de Tchernadieff
Mr. Hunt began his suit that year
At the time Of the trial witness ties
tilted that he had seen Mrs Hunt and
the count" together in hotels in
Switzerland and Paris, and it was
largely through his testimony that the
decree was granted. Mrs Hunt put
in general denial. Through her law
yer she Immediately moved that the
decree be vacated
A settlement of $4,000, which Mrs
Hunt accepted from the executors and
heirs of her husband several weeks
ago, following decision of the ap
pellate division that the case might
| be reopened, remains unchanged by
Justice Kelley's action, it is stated
Mr.. Hunt left $7,750,000 The resid
uary legatee of the estate is a chart

Queer ironing.

A writer in the Wide World maya
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet The men
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments.
Except for the long handle. the
irons were shaped like the ordinary
fiat-iron, only larger. A solid block
of wood rested on the top of the iron
and on this the men placed one foot
guiding the iron in the desired direc
ton by means of the handle. For the
sake of convenience, ironing boards
were raised only a few inches from
the ground, and, however strange the
method may seem TO us, the worf
was done very we'll and very expedi
tiously.
