Use Cuticura At Once. It Quickly Removes All Skin Eruptions.

Arc your little ones suffering from itching, burning eczemas, or other tor turing, disfguring skin troubles :? Are you, yourself, worn out with long, sleep 'cssnights and ceaseless anxiety in caring 'or them? Then you should know th:t d warm bath with Cuticura Soap and gentle application of Cuticura Ointment will in most cases bring immediate relief.
 My little girl had little white bllsters break out first on her chest, neck, face, ind head. The blisters turned yellow md broke until she was nothing but q mass of sore eruptions all over her. They itched and burned until she could not sleep at night, and l had to tie her hands up to keep her from scratching
 She could not stand to have her clothes ouch her and she cried day and night
 'I had her treated, but nothing die my good and she suffered eight weeks before I used Cuticura Soap and Olnt- nent. In three days the eruptions were drying up, and before 1 used two full sized boxes of Cuticura Ointment with il.s Cuticura Soap she was entirely l.aled." (Signed) Mrs. Belle Dennis, MlBeths, S.

WILSON'S WRITINGS
 USED AGAINST HIM

Washington, July 21.-Discusslon or the child labor bill which Presl- dent Wilson urges for passage before congress adjourns, was injected Into the debate cn the naval bill today. and an unsu3cessful effort was made to procure unanimous consent N greement to take up the measure as soon as the appropriation bills are passed. i Senator Hardwicke, who is opposed to the proposed legislation. began the discussion by charging that it ev'- , dently was the purpose of the Re- rublicans of the senate "to play party politics with this great meas ure." Hardwicke declared the meas ure was unconstitutional.
 "There has been a greal deal oi change of mind about the constltu- !, tionality of iais bill." said senator i, Borah. "The leader Of the Georgla /, senator's own party have changed its mind on that
 "Who is that?" asked MT. Hard wick, arousing laughter from his col leagues.
 "Thc president of the United States "Rorah replied. "In one of his books 'Woodrew Wilson said such legisla ton was unconstitutional"

JEFFERSON OIL
 COMPANIES TEST
 WELL PROMISING
Drill Now Down About l75O Feet, in "Gumbo' and
 Oil Sand.

Work of drilling for oil by the Jefferson Oil company on the Ruiher- ford place, theast of Pine Bluff, continues steadily. and without in t erruptioa, and the greatest of optim- ism still prevails among the drillers and those visitors to the well who understand and can appreciate the indications.
 The drill is now about 1750 or 176O feet below the surface, and is going through a stratum of heavy black "gumbo," with which is mixed a quantity of black sand. This stratum is said to be found ia all succ ssful oil wells. and s also recorded i'll the logs" of many wells, in the hooks and pamphlets of the United states geological survey.
 There is rapidly increasing num- her of visitors to the well, to watch thc operations, and it has been notice able that many of these visitors are strangers here. the belief being pre- valent that they are oil men from other parts of the country, who are here to see TOT themselves what the prospects and conditions are.
 In the meantime, there appears to be a smaller number of mineral leases being recorded now. property owners evidently having decided not to be too quick to grant such leases, but to await further developments, before parting with any of their rights or privileges.

 It Is definitely known that the Stan dard Oil company has obtained hun dreds of mineral leases on lands in various parts of this county, and it is stated on good authority that the Standard has decided to thoroughly develop the Jefferson county oil field because of the many indications that a very high grade of oil is to be found beneath the surface of the earth in this vicinity.

tests to speak of before the COM
mittee, so that that body will be
able to operate without any OF

graced it in 1912. At this time

in New Hampshire claimed for
Weeks and Il votes conceded to
FAIRBANKS in Kentucky, and the
whole number exceeds half of
the convention.
Proceeding upon the hypothe-
sis that some Of these votes
might be lost after the first bal
lot, the managers of the several
candidates figure that this will
be far more than discounted by
the total number counted upon
by each as the result of work al
ready done by them in the pre-
imlnary campaign.
CLAIMS MADE FOR WEEKS.
The Weeks men give the lar
gest definite claims. The man.
ager of the campaign of the
Massachusetts senator is O. NJ.
Weller, who ran for governor on
the Republican ticket in Mary
land at the last election. Also
in Washington and actively in
terested in the Weeks campaign
is George H. Moses, former
minister to Greece, now head of
the Republican publicity bureau
and a delegate at large from New
Hampshire. 1t is stated for the
senator that he will have 60 votes
in New England, % in Missouri,
10 in Kansas, 9 in North Carolina.
5 in Florida, 6 in Alabama, 6 in
Tennessee, 2 in Kentucky. 5 in
Oklahoma, 4 in Texas, 1 in
Georgia, 4 in Mississippi, / in
Virginia, 6 in Washington, 2 in
Oregon, 4 in California, 6 in New
York and 1 in New Yersey-16S
in all.
As the Fairbanks people put
down two for themselves in New
Hampshire, the Burton managers
contend the fourteen delegates
from Connecticut are for him.
and Massachusetts is in the
throes Of q primary fight to be

. the field, one unpledged and
including Governor Mccall and
the other pledged for Roosevelt,
it may be said that the claim of
sixty delegates for Weeks in New
England is somewhat nebuioS,
yet giving him 80 in his home
state, 10 in Rhode Island, s in
New Hampshire, Is in Maine and
+ in Vermont, he will make the
figure predicted.
