MY baby was bothered very much with
some kind of facial eruptions and she was
almost blind at times from the sores that
formed on her face. At the beginning there
were one or two little pimples that broke out
on my baby's face that itched very much.
She scratched them 80 much that they began
to get larger and scattered over her face
moro until her face was full Of sores. Then
they got so bad that she began to fret and
would not sleep very much. She cried all
the time Her face began to look very
badly a. the places grew larger and were
getting worse all tho time.
II had some Cuticura Soap and kept
her face washed with the Cuticura Soap until

STATE BOARD OF PAROLE TO
KEEP TAB ON COURT
PROCEEDINGS.
TO REMOVE GROUNDS FOR
COMPLAINT OF COURTS
Prisoners Too ofton Complain They
Wcre RaiIroaded or Did Net Under
stand Consequences Of Entering
Pleas Of Guilty--District Judges
Complain Of Curtaiiment Of Powers.

Des Moines. Ma, - Hereafter when
prisoner at the state rcformatorN
puts up story that he was railroaded
to prison, or that h" didn't understand
consequences when he pleaded guilty Or
that he was induced 20 plead guilty by
false representations. he Is likely to
be confronted by a record that will
confound him.
Some Of the district courts are now
taking the trouble to have victims
questioned closely as to these matters
and a transcript of the evidence sent
the board of control for record. This
is in accord with the suggestions in a
letter by Colonel McConlogue chair
man Of the board inspired by COM
plants heard at Anamcsa which indi-
Gated that the courts have not been as
careful as they should be in making
everything plain to the young men.
Courts Shorn Of Power.
But number of the judges have also
criticized the law and the parole hoard,
and say that as matters now stand the
courts are powerless to do that which is
manifestly right in many cases. For
instance. a young man pleads guilty to
an offense the punishment for which
is maximum of five years. The Judge
would like to have him incarcerated
for say three months. He has no
alternative but must impose the in
determinate sentence and leave it all
to the parole board. The latter refuses
to even hear any discussion of the case
for year. The Judges say this is a
situation which has led a good many
of them to impose jail sentences when
they know that reformatory sentence
would be better.
Colonel McConlogue is inclined to-
ward the plan which Governor Folk
tried to have adopted in Missouri Of
leaving paroles. especially for the minor
offenses. to the judges, with an ar
rangement by which, in case of viola
ton Of the parole. the sentence would
be doubled in length, also that after
parolee has made good all evidence Of
every kind relating to his case be de-
stroyed
1t has also been suggested that tho
rule in Iowa be modified so that on
the recommendation Of judge the
parole question might be opened up
at any time.
All the courts agree. however. that
