AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING
“Just about two years ago, some
gorm of humor appeared on my scalp,
’he beginning was a slight Itching but
It grew steadily worse until, when I
■combed my hair, the scalp became
jraw and the ends of the comb-teeth
'would be wet with blood. Most of the
'time there was an intolerable itching,
jin a painful, burning way, very much
■as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
;and smart when first beginning to
Sheal. Combing my hair was positive
[torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
■■scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. I was
lin despair, really afraid of becoming
(totally bald.
“Sometimes the pain was so great
fthat, when partially awake, I would
(scratch the worst places so that n»y
finger-tips would be blcody. I could
toot sleep well and, after being asleep
(a short time, that awful stinging pain
—would commence and then I would
‘wake up nearly wild with the torture.
■A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
'Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
to toilet soap before, I now decided to
■order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
1—Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
3 used them according to directions
■for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
•as the disease seemed to be eradi
cated, but toward spring, eighteen
'months ago, there was a slight re
turn of the scalp humor. I com
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp I used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
^ Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
'time I took six or seven bottles of Cu
•ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles—neither an expensive or te
dious treatment. Since then I have
toad no scalp trouble of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
[comes to my knees and had it not been
for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald.

IOWA POPULATION
SHOWS DEGREASE
IN THEJ910 CENSUS
Net Loss From the Report of
1890, as Shown by Official
Returns, Is
7,082.
Washington,Nov. 7.-The pop
ulation of Iowa, as made public by
the census bureau today, is 2,224,
771. This is a decrease of 7,082
under the census of 1890, or a loss
of 0.3 per cent. The census of 1900
was 2,231,853.
During the decade from 1890 to
1900, Iowa gained 319,572 or 16.7
per cent, as against the loss of 0.3
per cent for the decade just closed.
The census figures given out to
day show that the counties con
ting the larger cities of the state,
with one exception, all gained,
while the rural sections of the
state lost enough to show a net loss
for the state as a whole. The one
county containing a city that lost
was Dubuque county, which shows
a net loss in population for the
past 10 years of 8,953.
The counties containing the
larger cities that gained were as
follows: Black Hawk (Waterloo),
Clinton (Clinton), Des Moines
(Burlington), Linn (Cedar Rap
ids), Polk (Des Moines), Potta
wattamie (Council Bluffs), Scott
(Davenport), Woodbury (Sioux
City).
Result No surprise.
The decrease in Uie population of
Iowa did not surprise census bureau
officials as it was in line with what
was expected in the agricultural regions
of the middle west. Director Durand
attributes the falling off to the fact that
the land is already fully occupied and
a general tendency towards- larger
farms. He says a growth cannot be
B*pected unless there is a change to
more intensive cultivation. There lias
been a large emigration from Iowa into
Canada and into western states and
the territories in search of cheaper
lands than can be obtained at home.
Many Iowans also have gone to the
cities.
■ The failing off in population in Iowa
was general throughout the state, ex
cept in the larger cities and towns. In
most of these there was a growth.
Following is the population of the
counties of Iowa, as shown by the fed
eral census of 1910 and 1900 and the
state census of 1905:

SMUGGLING CASE
MAY GET CHICAGO
WOMAN IN PRISON
■ 1 ■—
Federal Court Has Promised
Jail Sentence for Next Of
fender and She Seems
to Be “It.”
New York, Nov. 1.—Miss Helen
Jerrems, who arrived with her mother
on the Oceanic from Europe and who
lives at Hotel Metropole, Chicago,
brought home a number of Parisian
gowns, the value of which she averred
In her declaration was $920.
A customs Inspector, who examined
Miss Jerrems’ half dozen trunks de
cided she had underestimated the cost
of the gowns and called in Acting
Deputy Surveyor O'Connor.
With the assistance of an appraiser,
Mr. O’Connor figured the entire value
of all Miss Jerrems' Imported wearing
apparel at about $1,950. She was asked
If she did not want to amend her
declaration and said she did not.
In that case, Mr. O'Connor said, the [
trunks would be sent to the appraisers’
stores. Miss Jerrems permitted them
to go there, persisting in her refusal to
amend the declaration. She was told
to appear today before Surveyor Henry
and Special Deputy Surveyor George
Smythe.
Miss Jerrems Startles Them.
The surveyor and his chief assist
ant were a bit startled by the attitude
of Miss Jerrems toward the customs
laws. In response to an inquiry, "Did [
you read Instructions on the declara- |
tlon blank you received on the steam
ship?’’ she said she had read them, but
that she did not take them seriously.
She said she also had read the printed
pamphlet distributed to passengers and
did not take that seriously, either. j
Mr. Smythe asked her If she had not \
observed that the revised statutes pro- 1
vided penalties of fine, imprisonment j
and confiscation of goods for gross ■
undervaluation, such as hers was, the ,
value of goods being more than 100
per cent above what she had sworn to j
in her declaration. She said she was j
aware of this and was Inclined not to
take It seriously.
The surveyor and Mr. Smythe la
bored earnestly with Miss Jerrems and
were barely able to create an Impres
sion. She said some of her fellow
passengers, all women, had told her to !
disregard the customs laws, as they
Intended to do and had done. Then
she weakened a bit and put In a word
for herself. The trip by the Oceanic,
she pleaded, had been unusually rough
and she was seasick half the time and
could not bother about customs laws.
Is Told of Imprisonment Threat.
The declaration of Judge Hand thai
he would Imprison the next person
convicted of trying to defraud the cus
tnmq hv frrnss ndprvalnnt.lrm was rft
peated to Miss Jerrems but did not
perceptibly stir her. She was told
Anally that all her undeclared g®od*
would be seized, that the usual ex
emption of $100 would not be allowed,
and that she might have the seized
goods by paying about $1,800, whicil
includes the penalties for undervalua
tion. Then she appeared quite serious.
She did not say whether or not she
would redeem the property.

Pets are of all sorts. One of the*

jterlbed by Eha In his "Naturalist onj

l&resslng ways. It seemed as If lti
Cssessed a certain sense of humor,

"I used to take its soft hand and*,
ttamhio its pretty nails. Each hand1
jad one long, sharp claw. Such %
lurlous arrangement puzzled me, un
til one day a flea showed me the use
If that claw. It bit the lemur under;

reason to be thankful that nature had
tpared one toe when It promoted It to

There never was a more charming!

bedrdom, look round with large eyes
Primming over with nilld curiosity,
fend, lightly as a rubber ball, spring to
ny dressing table, where he would ex

pound across the bed and land on myf

A Hint to Poultry Keepers.
A rather noval method employed for
juring hens of broodiness Is Illustrated
In the Strand. A stick about two feet
In length Is fastened on the back of the
bird by means of two pieces of string,
which are tied round the shoulders.
This effectually prevents the hen from
entering the fowlhouse and sitting on
the nest, and in a few days generally
stop3 a hen from “wanting to sit." as
people say.
