ON LITTLE BOY
Mouth and Eyes Covered With j
Crusts? Face Itched Most Fear- !
fully? Hands Pinned Down to
Prevent Scratching
MIRACULOUS CURE
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
" When my little boy was six months olci, he
had eczema. The sores extended so uuickly
over the whole body that we at once railed in
the doctor. We then
went to another doctor,
but he could not help
him. and in our despair
we went to a third one.
Matters became so bad
that he had regular
holes in his cheeks,
large enough to put a
finger into. The food
had to be given with a
spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts
as thick as a linger, and
whenever he opened the
mouth they began to
bleed and suppurate, as
did also his eyes.
Hands, arms, chest^ and
back, in short the whole
body, was covered over
and over. We had no
rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid
in his bed, we had to
pin his hands down :
~ u otherwise he would
Alto. so Hoh*ath. 8cratch ^ls facet an(j
make an open sore. I think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
"We finally thought nothing could help,
and I had made up my mind to send my wife
with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea
air might cure him, otherwise ne was to be
put under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differently,
and we soon saw a miracle. A ft iend of ours
spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with
Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and
within ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly as the
sickness had appeared it also began to dis
appear, and within ten weeks the child was
absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and
white as never before." F. Hohrath, President

WIN AGAIN
Hillery's Team Victors la j
Close Game
The second game of basket ball,
played at the White l'ass Club last
night, resulted in another victory for
Hillery's team by 24 to 14. The
play was much closer than the score
would indicate, however, as Goding's
team had tl e lead several times early
io the came, and the score was close up
to the end of the secand third. In the
first third Coding's team bad all the
best of it, and their opponents consid
ered themseives fortunate to end the
third with a tie score? 6 to 6. In the
second ;third Dortero retired, Shelly
changing sides and taking his place,
arid McGrath taking Shelly's place on
Coding's team. After this the '"down
towners" forged ahead, the scare of the
(nd of the third being IS to 12, and the
tinal score 24 to 14. Three 15-minute
thirds were played.
The piay showed a marked improve
ment over that of the first (fame? even
more than was to be expected. This
whs due in large part to Herbert
Taylor's judicious use of the whistle as
referee. He displayed good judgment
in calling fouls so as to cut out the un
necessary roughness without stopping
the speed of the p'ay, and a faster
game fairly free from rough play, re
sulted. The team-work was vastly bet
ter, although ;there is still roSm for
much Improvement in this respect.
The goal throwing was much more ac
curate. as is shown by the larger score.
The greatest improvement was in pas
sing the ball to unguarded players for
trials at goal. The poorest work was
in fumbling and passing and batting
the ball. Toooften the ball was thrown
without any regar.1 as to where it was
going, and all the players showed a
tendency to l>.i< the ball instead of
catching it.
Ths next game will be played
Wednesday night at eight o'clock.

First letter, Perey Walker to his un
cle, Samuel Walker:
"My Dear Uncle? I write tills mj j
fortnightly letter to you to tell you j
that I am still doing very well In my
classes -studying hard, devoting my)
whole time to my college duties, I
haven't missed a lecture so far thla
term. You know. I aui very fond of]
athletics, liut remembering your advice
to be careful about letting spirts In
terfere with my studies 1 have hung
up the racket and the gulf stick, con
tenting myself with poring over books.
It is very hard now that the spring |
days are oil lo see the fellows going
out in Held costume for practice; but,
remembering your valued advice, I
resist the temptation.
"Then, too, I have taken advantage
of your warnings about drinking and
smoking. Cold water is good enough
for me, and as for smoking, the smell
of tobacco makes me sick.
"I hope you and my si mil i ntinii" in
your usual good health and that your
eyesight has improved. Tell Aunt
Caroline that 1 am taking all the
spring medicines she sent me. I am
really quite find of the herb tea, and
the liver mixture is doing wonders for
we. fell her that I am heeding her
advice not to throw oil' my overcoat
too early in the spring rnd not to go |
out on damp ground without my rub
bers. The mutllcr she so kindly sent I
me at t hristmas time I have worn
constantly all winter.
lie assured, my dear uncle, of my
affection for you and my aunt and be
lieve me your devoted nephew,
-PERCY."
Secoud letter, Percy Walker to bis j
fiancee. Miss ICuth Stevens:
"Dearest Kutli? Have just written
, uncle, and now comes the delight of j
I writing to you. (Stop till I light a pipe.)
. I have to tell you the glorious news j
| that 1 am first in winter practice in
i tennis and have won a place in the
j university crew. I've had more time
l for sports Ibis term it-cause I've
I chosen elective studies that don't ill- j
j terfere? the lectures. 1 mean with the
j hours for practice. I :: n i having a
I bard time In tin- spring examinations
(and for the la-t week have been
I 'boning' night and day. I hope to
j slip through if my ponies don't go I
j back on me- but regret that the eon
j finement and lack of exercise may
[ throw me' in my candidacy for a
j place in the football team.
"By the bye. I was forgetting to tell
j you that I gave 'a wine' in my room
j last week, at which two baskets of
I champagne were consumed. There
were twelve of us. each man drinking
two bottles. The gang was too high
oiueky muck for pipes, so I had to buy
a box of cigars. This took my last
dollar, and uncle's next check isn't due
for two weeks. 1 wish I dared ask tlie
old rooster for an extra. He'd send it
Quick enough, but it would give me
away. I'm telling him 1 have only
term and hash bills to pay, and be
knows my allowance is plenty for that.
"Mind, sweetheart, when you see un
cle to tell him that I've taken a prize.
It's for singles in tennis, but he'll think
It's for a thesis in t!reek. And tell
Aunt Caroline that I've been invited
to take t!ie superintendency of the
Sunday school at the Third Presby
terian church. They'll consider me too

will tlimk nil the more ot tnem com

Enter n gang of students to discuss
the makeup of the baseball team for
the coming season. When they leave
the letter writer i.< aliout to leave,
when. seeing his letters, lie puts thein
In envelopes anil hurriedly addresses
them. Then lie runs after the athletes.
Third letter. Miss Ruth Stevens to
Perey Waller:
"Dearest Percy ?Yon natality boy!
You have sent me by mistake a letter
to your uncle. ((Ireal Scott, I must
have sent Iter letter to uncle!) Oh,
how 1 laughed when I read it! (For
heaven's sake, it's no laughing mat
ter!) You ought to be ashamed of
yourself. You 'devoting your whole
time to your studies!' 'fold water
good enough for you!' 'The smell of
tobaeeo makes you sick!' Then those
'spring medicines' your aunt sent you.
You know you never wear an overcoat
or rubbers and seldom a hat.
"I think you'd better go back to
school and learn to write. It was all
I could d>> I > re. id your letter. You
must be more < -a I'uful. Some day
you'll be sending one of your letters to
me to your uncle."
Soliloquy: That's just what I have
done. Kuin stares me in the face.
Uncle will step the funds, and I'll have
to leave college. And that when I've
just got where I wanted to get on the
teams. Well, sroodby. alma mater. I
go to some sweatshop nr other, where
I'll have to come down to fingering
?thcr people's llilliy lucre.

that I can't read it. I suppose It is a
request for money, so I inclose a check
for $100. Your affectionate UNCLE.
"P. S.? Don't go out of your room if

mornings. There Is a great deal af
