BOTH CHILDREN CURED BY FAMOUS .REMEDIES “For sovoral yoars my husband was a missionary in tho Southwest, and we wen' living on the edge of the desert at an elevation of nearly five thousand feet. Every one in that high and dry atmosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughter’s scalp becameso encrusted with it that I was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair, which was very heavy. After spending between five and six dollars for various remedies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cutioura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. After rub bing the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly into the roots of the hair, I gently combed the crust of dandruff free from the scalp, and then gave her head a thorough shampoo with the Cuticura Soap. This left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and after the hair was dry, I again rubbed the C uticura Ointment, this time sparingly, into the roots, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a complete success. My troubles with dandruff were over, although for a long time afterward I used the Cuticura Ointment as at first, after shampooing, which kept the scalp and roots of the hair moist. I have used successfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called ‘milk-crust’ on baby’s head, and have never found anything to equal them, lou are at liberty to publish this letter, for I do sincerely believe that the Cuti cura Remedies are a blessing to man kind. Mrs. J. A. Darling, 310 Fifth St., Carthage, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1908.” Cutioura Ointment is one of the most Buccessful curatives for torturing, dis figuring humors of the skin and 6calp, including loss of hair, ever compounded, in proof of which a single anointing with it, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed, when necessary, by a mild dose of Cuticura Resolvent (liquid or pills) is often sufficient to afford immediate relief of itching, burning and scaly humors, eczemas, irritations and inflammations., permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy cure when all else fails.

Dun & Co.,’s Weekly Review of Trade says: “Industrial conditions improve slow ly and retail trade, which is usually quiet at this season, is much restrict ed, the distribution of merchandise being correspondingly reduced. In some sections there is still much idle ness, and machinery is operated only to partial capacity in many import ant industries. Bituminous coa'. out put is reduced and mining operations in iron, copper and other leading min erals are much below normal. “The open winter weather has fa cilitated building operations, in most sections and permits issued in lead ing cities indioate greater activity than a year ago, hut less than in re cent preceding years. “Wholesale and jobbing depart ments are generally quite, the de mand being largely for immediate needs, future requirements still being provided for cautiously. The factor of strength is the depleted stocks, which have been further reduced, and in no line is there an excess, al though furnace interests continue to store some pig iron, but it is believed this will be in demand when the needs of manufacturers are larger. In some important lines of woolen and cotton fabrics manufacturers complain of inadequate supplies, and those markets are in consequence very strong.” JEFF DAVIS’ NAME ON CABIN JOHN BRIDGE It has been Ordered Placed Back on the Arch of the Bridge. WASHINGTON.— Official amende for the sensational elimination of Jef ferson Davis’ name from the stone tablet on Cabin John Bridge, 3lx miles west of this city, during President Lincoln’s administration, is given In direction the president issued Mon day through the secretary of war ro the chief of engineers of the army to restore the name. The tablet is on the bridge that arches Cabin John Run on the Mary land sire of the Potomac river, a structure famous for years as the longest single span stone bridge in the world. The bridge carries the conduit which brings Washington's water supply from the upper Poto= mac. It. was begun under Davis as sec retary of war and when he joined! the Confederacy and became its presi dent, his name, under government, or ders, was chiseled from the tablet. Repeated efforts to restore ft have been made. At ’he 1907 convention of the Daughters of the Confederacy at Richmond a resolution was adopt ed asking for the Davis restoration and Representative Meyer, of Louis iana, sought unsuccessfully to have this carried out. The erasure of the name was by direction of Caleb Smith, Lincoln's secretary of the interior, after a sug gestion by Galusha Grow, of Penn sylvania, then speaker of the house.

PROHIBITION GAINS IN SOUTH CAROLINA No Bill Is Liable to Fass This Session, But Senti ment Against it is Grow ing. Special to The Herald. CHARLESTON, S. C.—-Prohibition is stronger in the legislature in the opinion of Representative Tamos Cos grave but still in his view and that of Senator Httgher Sinkler, a prohi bition enactment will probably not be made at the pending session of the legislature. The referendum suggestion, submit ting the question of the character of the legislature to be enacted, is hold Ing no little attention in the legisla ture and may be adopted as a com promise of the much vexed question. In the opinion of Col. Cosgrove, the probability of the passage of the re ferendum bill, putting the question of the character of legislation, to be on acted, to a popular vote next August is given precedence fiver the enact ing of a straight prohibition law. A lumber of the local option people are leaning towards this solution. Sena tor Sinkler thinks that while the pro hibition sentiment is very strong, there is po immediate likelihood of (either la state-wide prohibition bill or a state-wide referendum bill being passel. If the referendum bill being passes, it is probable that it will bo on the question of dispensary or pro hibition, but, still, Senator Sinkler said that: he is urging the license system for Charleston. Neither of the two representatives were too positive in their assertions of the probable action of the legisla ture when it reconvenes next Wed nesday. Col. Cosgrove said that, he was pretty certain that the prohibi tion sentiment was growing stronger FREE PILE CURE Sent to Demonstrate the Merits of Pyramid Pile Cure.
