SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
Two Little Girls Had Eczema Very
Badly—In One Case Child's Hair
Came Out and Left Bare Patches.
Cuticura Met with Great Success.
"I have two little girls who have
been troubled very badly with eczema.
One of them had it on her lower
limbs. I did everything that I could
hear of for her, but it did not give
in until warm weather, when it seem
ingly subsided. The next winter when
it became cold the eczema started
again and also in her head where it
would take the hair out and leave
bare patches. At the same time her
arms were sore tho whole length ot
them. I took her to a physician, but
the child grew worse all the time. Her
sister’s arms were also affected. I be-
gan using Cuticura Remedies, and by
the time the second lot was used their
skin was soft and smooth. Mrs. Charles

permission to answer, he said, pointing
to the cherub: “That little feller down

Annual School Meeting*.
The annual school meeting through

on June 1 at Guthrie. Clerks should

Ecqnomy May Be Necessary.
Those state institutions that have
expended the appropriations made for
them by the First Legislature to cov-
er > maintenance to June 30 of this
year, will probably have to skirl
close to the shore. Tho State Board
of Public Affairs will not go beyond
tlie appropriation made for the fiscal
year, and in ail casas money appro-
priated by the last* Legislature does
not become available until July 1,
1909.
Appropriations made for specific
purposes, it has been held, can not
be used for anything else, and when
special funds become exhausted, no
more money will be available until
the new appropriation bill is effec-
tive. Some of tho institutions have
plenty of money, while others are
about "broke.” The board believes
it has no authority to create a de-
ficiency, hence will hold the insti-
tutions to their appropriations.
Coal Mine Concerns’ Cases.

ompanies of the McAlester field for

'Sse also seeks to have the commis-
sion fix the price toibe charged by

continued for the term, at request of
complainants.

charged at the same time and bag-
gage transferred directly front one
train to another. The tracks will be
more than a mile in length.
Act Cuts Down Schools.
A’cco^ding to the statement of Su
perlntendent Benedict, supervisor ol
Indian Schools, one-half of the coun
try schools now being supported by
the congressional appropriation will
be discontinued with the present
school year. Instructions to this ef-
fect have gone forth to the boards
of trustees of the schools effected.
This action is necessitated by the
action of congress In appropriating
but $150,000 as a maintenance bud-
get, in lieu of the $300,000 appropri-
ation of 1908. This act of congress
further provides that when the new
state is fully capable of maintaining
its own schools independent of fed-
eral aid this practice of government
maintenance of country public schools
will cease.
Old Building Removed.
The oldest store building In Cus
ter county Is being torn down. It is
the old Noyes building, located on
the corner of one of the principal
business blocks of Arapaho. It will
be replaced by a modern two-story
brick building. For a long time the
Noyes building was the largest store-
house in Arapaho. It was rudely
constructed of rough lumber.
