"I think tbe Cuticura Remedies era the best remedies for eczema I have ever heard of. My mother had a child who had a rash on its head when it was real young. Doctor called it baby rash. He gave uh medicine, but it did no good. In a lew days the head was a solid mass, a running sore. It was awful, the child cried continually. Wo had to hold him and watch him [to keep him] fro., scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cuticura Remedies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Resol¬ vent, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cuticura Soap, and applied the Cuticura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and be had a beautiful bead of hair. I think the Cuticura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes tho hair grow and prevents falling hair." (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, Utah. Sept. 19. 1910.

AMUSEMENTS Academy of Mnalc.Onrk. Bijou."School Days." Al. O. Field's Beat. Before a huge audience In the after- noon and literally a sold-out house at nlgrit. the Al. G. Field s Minstrels gavt yesterday the most screamingly funn> performance that 1 have ever witnesseo by this organization. And this, too In spite of the fact that this old-younp minstrel of some twenty-five years ol fame is not working himself. In hie stead we had Burt Swor (for years- in musical comedy), John Healy. Dot Qulgiey and Gov. Bowcn, besides an unusually clever entertainer named Nick Glynn. with his pockets full ol musical oddities; a chorus of ringing power, several men whose f-olo work delighted the big audiences, and lot." of new and laugnable gags. This man Heuly grows more absurrt each season; every year the chronic theatre-goers, who have known his peculiar style for many a day, almost yell their joy ut the utter foollshnes.- of him. Doc Qulgiey and Gov. Bowen are as clever and funny as ever, and Burt Swor is a more than valuable ad¬ dition to Mr. Field's company. lit has a sort of monologue during one of the changes in which he does u dla-. logue between a darkey, who ribs him¬ self up with a "Swift and Enston" gun, and his girl that made even the top gallery shout Its approval. The "scenic surprises" and "transfor¬ mations" were wonderfully pretty; th» chorus sang, as has been mentioned, with ringing pow"er. in spite of the fact that it does not as yet- sing alto¬ gether as a unit. Tho soprano. Her¬ bert Wllllson, and first tenor. Walter Sherwood, who stood together, in par¬ ticular, had an unpleasant trick of coming Into the choruses a fraction of n beat too soon, but this Is doubtlesä hypercritical, and. besides, will be cor¬ rected after the organlzatlr>n has been together a little longer. And, beside:1 again, the audience went crazy about the singing of both of these men, so possibly, they should be allowed somo little liberties, and their voices are re- marknble, whether every semi-muslclan likes them or not. Jack Richards and Jacl< King Allman also sang their way Into the heart of the house. But thej man to whom chorus singers shoulu bow Is the steady war-horse of a sec- ond bass, who stands on the right end. looking from the house, and sings con- ¦latently and conscientiously through the performance, and runs down any¬ where he pleases, with ease and abso¬ lute certainty, holding down the rest of the chorus, which stands on Its toes when an opportunity of volume Is of¬ fered. The Interlocutor has a good voice and reads his few lines pleas¬ ingly, hut it Is respectfully suggested that, as he Is made up without the black face, he do not say "you was," and, further, that he do not. In the rest of the tour through the South, speak of a negro servant girl as "this young lady." But enough of "criticism"; the show- is absurdly clever and amusing.that ball game In Itself Is worth seeing sev¬ eral times.ond who wants a half-way technical criticism of a minstrel per¬ formance anyhow?

the best remedies for eczema I haveever heard of. My mother had a childwho had a rash on its head when it wasreal young. Doctor called it baby rash.He gave uh medicine, but it did nogood. In a lew days the head was asolid mass, a running sore. It wasawful, the child cried continually. Wohad to hold him and watch him [tokeep him] fro., scratching the sore.His suffering was dreadful. At last weremembered Cuticura Remedies. Wegot a dollar bottle of Cuticura Resol¬vent, a box of Cuticura Ointment, anda bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave theResolvent as directed, washed the headwith the Cuticura Soap, and appliedthe Cuticura Ointment. We had notused half before the child's head wasclear and free from eczema, and it hasnever come back again. His head washealthy and be had a beautiful bead ofhair.

tha additions to tho. faculty are Inhla judgment the most important evermade in a single year. Various an¬nouncements concerning the openingof the College and Park School werethen made.The members of the three upper

classes havo matriculated, the regis¬tration showing that a very largoper cent, of the old men havo returnedto resume their work. The seniorclass, which probably will numbersixty, undoubtedly will be the largestIn the history of the Institution. Thenew men went before the committeeon admission, the records showing thatup to the present time mors than 180freshmen have been admitted as stu¬dents in the college, and the prospectsare that the number of new men willreach 200 or above. The new studentswill matriculate Friday. and theirclass work will begin immediatelythereafter, while the upper classmenbegin their class work to-day.

AMUSEMENTSAcademy of Mnalc.Onrk.Bijou."School Days."

Al. O. Field's Beat.Before a huge audience In the after-

noon and literally a sold-out house atnlgrit. the Al. G. Field s Minstrels gavtyesterday the most screamingly funn>performance that 1 have ever witnesseoby this organization. And this, tooIn spite of the fact that this old-younpminstrel of some twenty-five years olfame is not working himself. In hiestead we had Burt Swor (for years-in musical comedy), John Healy. DotQulgiey and Gov. Bowcn, besides an

unusually clever entertainer namedNick Glynn. with his pockets full olmusical oddities; a chorus of ringingpower, several men whose f-olo workdelighted the big audiences, and lot."of new and laugnable gags.This man Heuly grows more absurrt

each season; every year the chronictheatre-goers, who have known hispeculiar style for many a day, almostyell their joy ut the utter foollshnes.-of him. Doc Qulgiey and Gov. Bowenare as clever and funny as ever, andBurt Swor is a more than valuable ad¬dition to Mr. Field's company. lithas a sort of monologue during oneof the changes in which he does u dla-.logue between a darkey, who ribs him¬self up with a "Swift and Enston" gun,and his girl that made even the topgallery shout Its approval.The "scenic surprises" and "transfor¬

mations" were wonderfully pretty; th»chorus sang, as has been mentioned,with ringing pow"er. in spite of thefact that it does not as yet- sing alto¬gether as a unit. Tho soprano. Her¬bert Wllllson, and first tenor. WalterSherwood, who stood together, in par¬ticular, had an unpleasant trick ofcoming Into the choruses a fraction ofn beat too soon, but this Is doubtlesähypercritical, and. besides, will be cor¬rected after the organlzatlr>n has beentogether a little longer. And, beside:1again, the audience went crazy aboutthe singing of both of these men, sopossibly, they should be allowed somolittle liberties, and their voices are re-marknble, whether every semi-muslclanlikes them or not. Jack Richards andJacl< King Allman also sang their wayInto the heart of the house. But thejman to whom chorus singers shoulubow Is the steady war-horse of a sec-ond bass, who stands on the right end.looking from the house, and sings con-¦latently and conscientiously throughthe performance, and runs down any¬where he pleases, with ease and abso¬lute certainty, holding down the restof the chorus, which stands on Its toeswhen an opportunity of volume Is of¬fered. The Interlocutor has a goodvoice and reads his few lines pleas¬ingly, hut it Is respectfully suggestedthat, as he Is made up without theblack face, he do not say "you was,"and, further, that he do not. In the restof the tour through the South, speakof a negro servant girl as "this younglady."But enough of "criticism"; the show-

is absurdly clever and amusing.thatball game In Itself Is worth seeing sev¬eral times.ond who wants a half-waytechnical criticism of a minstrel per¬formance anyhow? W. D. G.
