ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

Kingsville, Monty trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half of
the time there were running sores
be two years at time before they
were healed. There were many nights
I did not sleep because of the great
suffering. The sores were deep rum
ming ones and so sore that could not
bear for anything to touch them
They would burn all the time and
sting like lot of bees were confined
around my ankle. I could not bear to
scratch it, it was always SO sensitive
to the touch. / could not let my
clothes touch 1t. The skin was very
red. I made what I called a cap out
of white felt, plotting paper and soft
white cloth to hold it in shape. This
I wore night and day.
81 tried many remedies for most OF
the eighteen years with no effect.
Last summer I sent for some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The very first
time I used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment gained relief; they relieved the
pain right then. 1t was three months
from the time commenced using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the
sores were entirely healed. / have
not been troubled since and my ankle
seems perfectly we'll" (Signed) Mrs.
Charles e. Brooke, Oct. %, 1912.

White SLAVERY TRUE
BILLS ARE RETURNED
FEDERAL GRAND JURY IN SANTA
FE REPORTED TO BE AFTER
THE VICIOUS

Santa Fe, Oct. 9.-It is reported
upon apparently good authority that
the federal grand jury today found
three indictments in white slave
cases. The grand Jury this morning
examined three witnesses in regard to
a white slave case, it is said, and the
report around the federal building
was that true bills had been voted,
but that the report was being delayed
because Judge William H. Pope was
still out of the city.
The grand jury's report tomorrow
will include a number of indictments,
it is understood, but by no means all
the business had been cleared up yet.
The grand jury will probably be in
session the remainder Of the week.
Several interesting certificates
were presented to the grand jury this
morning, it is alleged, but SO far have
not been given out for publication.
In connection with the white slave
cases L. M. McCluer, a special agent
of the department of justice, is in the
city. Mr. McCluer has also been in
terested in several cases of alleged
sales of liquor to Indians.

peafness cannot be Cured


by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucus lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
flammed condition of the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Rotterdam, Sept. 19-Much of the
news Of the war gets into the German
press in the form of letters which Of
ficers and privates at the front send
to their families. Written by men who
describe what they actually see and
feel, some strange mixtures of sensa-
tions experienced and actually encoun-

ing the last two days we have again

had been given a chance to rest up

obliged to fight off many attacks on
the part of an enemy much superior
in numbers.
Yesterday we fought from early
morning till late in the night, oppos-
ing Alpine chasseurs and negroes,
whose courage it would be foolish to
question. The woods here are very
extended and cover a ground which is
much broken up. They are so dense
that very often you do not see the
enemy until you are within 80, even
20, PAGES of him, and quite frequently
we get so close to the blacks that we

color of our uniform. The French are
constantly at disadvantage because
of their red pants and blue coats. The
Alpine Chasseurs are fine fellows and

The chasseurs wear red or blue knee

utter neglect. There are prisoners

With West Point Team

WEST POINT. Aug. 2.-Althougn the
Army baseball team finished its regular
schedule Of games in June, the cadets
have been playing ball with scrub col
lege teams for three weeks past with
more or less success. The plebe class
which reported this year brought some
good baseball material with 1t, which
Coach Sammy Strang has been trying
out. and the Army nine has been reor-
ganized and will get back into action
on the diamond next Saturday. when the
cadets will meet the Seventh Regiment
team, of New York city.
The guardsmen are anxious to avenge
a defeat at the hands of the cadets adj
ministered early in June. before the
Army team broke up, and the game
promises a test for the proposition of
summer ball for the cadet team. which
was put into effect for the first time this
season, when Coach Strang was en-
gagged for the entire summer.
Among the new men who have been
making good Is Oliphant, formerly of

Yesterday he went in in the seventh,

Ayers has been worked just about

had a double-header, he worked five and

games he has won, Connie Mack has
yanked pitcher after pitcher?

The real honor of the day fell to
Kreuzer. who let himself out in the
third set of his match against Brookes.
and played the famous Australasian of
his feet. Kreuzer could not hold the
pace. however. and he had to let down
on his sensational racket work. with the
result that Brookes' final score was O..

The thing that amazed the crowd,
which numbered about 1000. was the
fact that Brookes displayed signs of
fatigue, failing completely to steady
himself when the young German pressed
him hard. In this set Kreuzer was the
master. and outplayed his rival better
than two to one.

Froitzheim at SO, Ga, 6-2. The rallies
were good and we'll fought. Wilding
showed his ability to hold the winning
shot. however. and he won without any
