AsaacUWd Pres*.
Chicago. Dee. 31.—The railroad* of
the I'uited Blate* constructed a total
of 37*5 mile* oi new line* during the
present year, which is an increase of
531 mile* when compared with the pre
vious year. With thc exception of
1908, the present year has proved the
lightest twelve months period. *o far
** new railroad construction is con
corned, iu eight years.
The record of construction showa
clearly that the railroad* built only
sueh lines a* they were compelled to
build through busines* expediency. Most
of the mileage was eoiiatrueted into
new territory which was demanding
traffic facilities. A large portion of
the new construction was in thc Pacific
northwest, where, the Harriman, the
Hill and the Ht. Patil intcre»ts engaged
in competitive occupation of new terri

And now come thc carrier boys; the I
boys who have tried to gel you your
evening paper day in nn.l day out, rain
or shine for twelve months. It’* no
fun to be a carrier boy with three hun
dred or more people to satisfy each day
whether thc mud is five feet deep on
the level spots or thc rain is coming
down bv thc bucket* full. Thc only
fun the carrier boy has is on or about
January 1, when he comes around with
bis new vear's greeting in the shape of
a hnndsome calendar and with » happy
smile places it on your desk or hands it
in at the <ioor.

a little earlier—-just oue dny earlier
and thev will begin with thc pleasant

good service rendered thc more than
81.000 city patrons of this paper that
Friday will not be a Jonah dav.
The boys want to see every one o(

BABTS ITCHING
WAS INTOLERABLE
Girl of Six Months had Fearful
Attack of Eczema—Spread All
Over Her Face and Eyes Began to
Swell—Scratched Till Blood
Came— Relieved in a Night and
CURED BY CUTICURA
AFTER LONG SUFFERING
"When my little girl was six months
old I noticed small red spots on her
right cheek. I did not
fo-—pay any attention to
V them but finally the
{Jw- *, V spots grew so large
t 2 / that I sent for the doc
\ ‘ who said it was
ringworm. Hepre
scribed an ointment
J J? which I used for two
3>l 7K~/ weeks, but instead of
i helping the eruption,
P the ointment seemed
to make it worse. Then I went to a
second doctor who after examining the
baby said it was eczema. He also fare
me an ointment which did not help
either. The disease in' the meantime
spread all over the face and the eyes
began to swell. I became very anxious.
The itching grew intolerable. I bad to
tie the baby’s hands to the cradle to
prevent her scratching. The cheeks
were covered with blood and it was a
terrible eight to see. I consulted doc
tors Irom September to December, but
thev were unable to cure the baby. I
paid out from twenty to thirty dollars
without relief.
“ One of ,my friends tola me of the
Cuticura Remedies and I sent at once
for a set which I began to use that even
ing. The next morning the baby's face
was all white instead of red and you can
imagine how surprised I was. I cannot
find words enough to praise Cuticura
and I do not know what would have
become at my baby only for it. I used
the Cuticura Remedies until the eczema
entirely disappeared. The child is now
three years old and quite well. I used
three cakes of Cuticura Soap, two boxes
of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of
Cuticura Resolvent and I never use any
other soap. I always recommend them
whenever there is a chance for doing so.
I will send you one of her pictures
which she had taken just after she was
healed. Mrs. P. E. Gumbin, Sheldon,
