WHITE PIMPLEs ON HEAD

Ransom. Ill.-'The trouble started
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months. then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body 1t was
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores were horrid to look at.
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an ec-
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but 1t did no good. Then
wo used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber-

JACKSON WOMAN TO
SING IN GRAND OPERA
Mrs. Cooper Has Brilliant
Future Ahead of Her in
Musical World

Jackson Miss. April 5.-tSpecial.)--
The Jackson friends of Mrs. James
Cooper are delighted at the distinc-
ton that has been accorded her in the
musical world and are confident that
she will "make good" in grand opera
Telegrams from New York where Mrs
Cooper has been studying voice culture
several months under direction of Wal
ter Damrosch, are to the effect that
Sergi Klibansky, former teacher of
voice in the Berlin conservatory. has
selected her as one of two having the
most promising voice-the other be-
ing Miss Eulalia Bright Cannon of At
lanta.
<libansky was commissioned by a
wealthy New York woman to select the
most promising young woman in the
United States with a view to her edu-
cation for grand opera work and placed
aside $4,000 to be used in that con-
nection. After several months search
he selected Mrs. Cooper and Miss Can
non, stating he could not determine
any superiority of one over the voice
of the other. though both different.
The unknown benefactress then decided
to admit both and will them
through.
Mrs Cooper. was born and reared in
Rankin county, about 10 miles from
jackson, coming to this city with her
father a contractor and builder when
a girl in her teens. and as Miss Johnnie
Vincent was admittedly one of the pret-
tiest girls ever seen here, while her
voice was the wonder and admiration
of the community. Three or four years
ago she married James Cooper, a drum
rner for a Texas publishing house.

Cairo, H., April 5.-Caro now is passing
what is supposed to pe the crisis of the
flood. The river is practically stationary
with falling tendency, but Is expected
to remain at an extremely high stage
for several days The stage is 54.7 feet.
Grave danger still menaces the city
from the seepage through the levees or
from the results that might follow high
wind, which would dash the waters
against the 1evee.
The local weather observer said the
passing of the Ohio waters into the Mis-
sissippi through Cache creek and the
breaking of levees in Missouri, are what
relieved the great pressure on the Cairo
levees and kept the water from going
much higher here
Adjutant General Dickson arrived on
the steamer Illinois this afternoon. The
boat brought So tons of supplies.

and drove the disturbers to Villa Ridge,
