Scratched So Site Could Not Sleep. "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem ! ; edies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body , also on her I head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then ap plied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment , together with Cuticura Re- solvent , when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think . it Is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about eighteen months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered / with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H.

Mr. Paxton , executor of the Swope estate , agreed with Dr. Hektoen upon a code that was to be used in sending messages in the event evidence of murder was found in the stomachs of Colonel Swope and his nephew. The code word to be used in the event of the discovery of poison was "Positive/ ' and that was the word put on the wire. The precaution was taken to prevent a "leak" and a warning to the suspects. The finding of poison was essential to the making of specific charges. This was demanded by the prosecuting attorney.

Engine of EastBoundTrain Turns Somersault at St. Johnsville , N. 'Y. Two men were killed when the en gine on the New York Central Twen- lieth : Century Limited , eastbound , from Chicago , turned completely over about a quarter of a mile west of St. Johns- ville N. Y. It slid 300 feet before It stopped. Under the engine pits Fire- man Melvin : : J. Handville of Syracuse was crushed beyond recognition. The I engineer , John Scanlon , of Fort Hun ter , attempted to leap when the engine left the rails but he was caught be- tween the engine and tender and crushed. None of the coaches left the track , though the trucks of several of them were derailed. Most of the pas- lengers were thrown from their berths. The supposition is that a signal cau- tioning Engineer Scanlon to slow down was not seen by him in time to bring his train under full control and when the locomotive struck the crossover the ponderous machine bounded into the air , turned upon its side , and then as it struck one of the rails rolled upon its back and plowed ahead through the rails , ties and ballast at least 300 feet. $4,000,000 WON IN TEN YEARS.
