"I had eczema on my head and it itched some- tfcing awful. It seemed sometimes as though I would go wild. The eczema was dry and flaky. One day I combed it hard with a One comb and made It all raw. My hmir nearly afl came out gradually so I had a small twist of hair and did not use but one hairpin to bold it- ' "I tried but tn vain: it did no good. Then I thought I would try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used them three months . and then my bead was all cured and my hair began to grow so it is quite thick now: - I have four times as much as I had." - (Signed) Mrs. EO W. Adams.

Ono Cent a Word. stripes Special for j.'s: CROWDED HOUSES AT THE PLAZA THEATRE There is no gainsaying that the hill which - Manager "Callan has arranged at his Plaza -theatre for the last three days of the week, is one of the best he has so far presented talcing the program in general and each act and photoplay individually, and ; it would be eafe to say, judging (from the man ner In which the audience last evening received the show, that crowded houses will prevail for the remainder of the week. The bjg number was Fred St- Onge, the "whimsical wheel man" and his troupe of expert bicycle riders. The act was a riot from the start. Fred St. Onge bringing roars of laughter withi his funny antics on the freak wheels. The manner in which he rode some of the bicycles last night was the cause of Just a wee bit of nervousness on the part of the timid members of the audience, but his funny make-up and his clev er display of wheelmanship brought rounds of applause. William MoKey and company present- one of the sprightliest little sketches seen here for many a moon, under the title of "Honest John McGuire," and it scor ed a tremendous hit last night. There is not a dull moment from beginning to end; politics is the keynote with Just enough love and romance to give snap to' the climax. The story is true to the political life of any city in the Union and Mr. McKey, formerly associated with Charles Frohman and last seen in the title role of "David Harum," gives a masterful interpre tation of "Honest John," a political boss in close touch with the gover nor. He is ably assisted by Miss Evelyn Forbes. Major 'Doyle came in for his share of the applause last night and his clever line of talk was responsible for many a laugh. Al though but three feet tali and being compelled to keep moving around the stage that ,. all the auditors might be able to see him, he possesses an un usually keen wit and his talk on wo men's styles is one big scream. Jack Neary played numerous operatic and rag time selections on the xylophone that pleased Immensely. Mabel Rat tew in a repetoire of sentimental and popular songs was given a warm re ception. "Self Oomyicted," a thrill ing detective photodrama In two reels telling a powerful story, "Love In cognito" and' "Zeb's Musical Career" made up the- program. Lawyers Of Young . Millionaire Deny Stabbing Charges New "Fork, Oct. 3. Young Herman Oelrichs remained in seelueion today, declining to discuss the charge made by Lucille Singleton, daughter of a Texas mining man, that he had stab bed her on Tuesday night last, Just before the automobile in which they were riding crashed into a tree. He referred all inquirers to his lawyers who repeated what they had eaid yes terday and last night that the stab bing charge was ridiculous. They were equally emphatic in stating . that' no attempt had been made to "hush the matter up" and that no offers of a money settlement to the girl had been or would be made. The girl kept to her room today, awaiting the arrival of her father from Dallas, Tex. She. is still suffer ing from shock and from the wounSs on 'her breast which Oelrichs lawyers say were sustained when she was flung through the windshield of the automobile. Columbia University authorities, it was understood, were to investigate the affair to determine whether the facts warranted Oelrichs' dismissal as a student at the Institution. On-Tuesday next the case will come up in court, when Oelrichs will be ar raigned on a charge of felonious as sault . Meantime, he is out under $1,000 ball. WESTPORT SELECTMEN COMPEL CONN. CO. TO PAVE ROADWAY RIGHT Official List of Nominees For Monday's Election. The Ewnine Farmer can he found on sale In "Westport at J. J. O'Connor's newsroom, (Formerly Nash's.) He will be pleased to deliver it to anj part of Westport by carrier. In Saugatuek the Farmer can be had at Sullivan's newsroom opposite the depot. (By Our Special Correspondent.) "Westport, Oct. 3 Because the Board of Selectmen demanded that the Con necticut Co. lay as good a pavement in State street as had been laid by the town and the state, the trolley com pany yesterday began Mtying a pave ment in their part of the State street roadway which is very much like War renite with which the street is pav ed. The trolley company wanted to lay macadam "and crushed stone over their part of the roadway but the Se lectmen put their foot down and de manded something better. When the Selectmen took this JUition they had in mind the paving of -Fairfield avenue in- Bridgeport. This stretch of fine roadway has been'pav ed on 'both sides with Warrenite but the space between the double trolley tracks and two -, feet to each side of the outer tracks, that part of the roadway which ' the trolley company by law is compelled to care for, was dressed . over with macadam and crushed stone. The administrative gov ernment of Bridgeport could have com pelled the company to lay a pave ment as good as that laid by the city but on the representation of the Con necticut Co. that the company was too poor to lay the more expensive pave ment, the Bridgeport administration granted the company's request. It is . the opinion of the Selectmen that the road in Bridgeport will re quire constant attention. Rather than to have the same conditions here, the Selectmen decided, though the com pany intended to have macadam be tween and two feet to k each side of the tracks macadam paved, to order them to pave with pavement as good as Warrenite. The Connecticut Co. will only lay the prepared pavement where the trol ley tracks run through the center of the street, that is from Compo street to the bridge and to the top of State street hill on the west side. Where the tracks are on the side of the road, a macadam filler will be placed in the company's two feet.

Another chapter has been added to the domestic troubles of former Se lectman George S. Jennings, in the arrest of Pauline Olosky, who was a servant in the Jennings household. She is charged with theft. Mrs. Jennings several weeks ago left her husband. The separation' induced him to insert an advertisement in several newspa pers which stated that his wife having left his bed and board, he would not be responsible for any bills contract ed in his name by. her. Early last week Jennings was served with pa pers in a suit for divorce. His wife also asked alimony of $10,000.
