They said it was eczema. = The pimples looked like small insect bites and almost covered his body’ They came 1o a head from which water would run. They itched and burned so badly that my son scratched them and made sores. His cloth- ing irritated the eczema and hewascrossand fretful. He eould ot sleep mights and would cry and say they burned and itched all the time. “¥ tried. bus it did not relieve him, and some but it seemed to make him worse. 1 them used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and the first night I used them he * seemed to be so relieved he slept a little. I first washed the affected parts with Cuticura _ Soap and then applied Cuticura Ofntment twice daily.

D., PHYSICIAN AND .UIGEON hannon I WESTERLY nnm The Westerly Board of Trade, dis- satisfied with the highway methods of the town councii, decided to institute a reform in road comstruction and maintenance and a change in the man- agement of that department. A com- mittee was appointed to take such steps as would bring the desired change. After much investigation the committee decided to ask the director of public roads of the United States ! department of agriculture to send an | engineer to Wi erly, to make a thor- | ough investigation of the work as per- formed by the highway committee of the town council, to inspect the work and to submit a report with specific recommendations of changes for the better management of the department. ! | Here the committee struck a snag. When an application was made to the agricultural deparcment the commit- tee was notified that the Board of Trade had na_ official standing in the department. - If a competent engineer was ‘wanted to investigate the highway department of Westerly and to make report ‘of findings and submit recom- mendations, the request must come from "the Westerly town council. George Benjamin Utter, chairman of the commitice, went before the town council, stated the fact and told the council“he wanted the body to request the visit of the engineer to Westerly, ang” the council so voted. So the en- gineer is probably coming, and there's Soing to be deep digging into the methods of the highway committee of the town council, and the town, not the Board of Trade, will pay the ex- penses of the engineer during his stay | in Westerly. government engineer did_like service or the state of Rhode Island, being invited to come by the governor. His | Teport ‘teemed with amazing state- | mexits, showing gross mismanagement, | 2 waste of the public funds, lack of Business methods, and so on aown the line. The board of public roads of Rhode Island took exception to some parts of the report, and the engineer submitted a rejoinder, going more into detail in regard to unbusinesslike meth- ods. Based on the report made to the governar, if the report of the engineer to the Westerly town council, on local conditions, is considered as a public document, there will be a live topic for discussion by the peopls of Westerly. It is not so very long ago that a As publicly expressed at the January meoeting, it s the intention of the Board of Trade to take from the town council the building and maintenance of the highways of the town and place the management with a commission on basis similar to the present conduct of the water system and the public schools, The board even went so far as to appoint a committee to consider the best plan of taking the legal steps necessary to bring about this change. The resolution inviting the govern- ment engineer to Westerly was adopted | at the executive session of the town and was favored by Council- axson, Flynn, Culley and Thom- as, opposed by Councilmen Lang- worthy, Saunders and Haswell A clause in the original resolution which provided for a public lecture by the engineer was expunged and it was also decided that the engineer should not examife into or make reference to the past, but confine himself to.a plan for the betterment of the highway condi- tions of the future. Blank forms of | application were received from the| sovernment for signature in connection with the proposed visitation of the en- gineer, but tite councilmen decided not | <0 comply with that feature, but to be| Ccontent with forwarding the resolution | as adopted to the department of agri- { culture. If the government insists that these blank forms must be filled and official- ly signed before the request for an engineer can be complied with, there is| a probability of complications that ' cannot be readily overcome. In that event the commitiee of the Board of [rade will comply with.the vote of in-} structign that was coupled with their appointment and take the legal steps to bring the matter before the present session of the general assembly and | endeavor to have the nighway work of the town controlled by a commission rather than by the town council or any committee thereof. It is said that the Board of Trade committee expressed willingness to withdraw and leave this matter entire- Iy with the town council, but as this was not acceptable the committee de- cided to force the issue in the council. | When David Shapiro and Louis Mil- ler (Becker), the New York boys whe were arrested in Bradford for breaking and entering and committing larces in @ freight car of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad compa- United y, were arraigned before States Commissioner William P. pleaded guilty and were held of $1,000 each for their appearance be- fore the grand jury of the United States district court May 28. There is a warrant for the arrest of Becker in New York for stealing from his em- ployer $25 which he and his chum Shapiro spent during the week prior to their arrest by Police Constable Thompson. The two packages of sil- ver-backed brushes and combs that they expressed from Bradford to New York have been recovered by Inspector John Cleary of the New Haven road. The boys were unable to furnish bail | and were committed to the Providence | county jall, where they will remain un- | til ealled into the United States court three months hence. John J. Dunn, of Westerly, secretary of the state board of agriculture, says that action will be taken at the next meeting of the board to forestall an epldemic of glanders, and will prob- ably ‘establish a quarantine against horses, burros and mules coming Into Rhode Island, from Connecticut, Mass- achusetts and New York. Mr, Dunn says there is much apprehension lest some. of the affected animals from neighboring states be brought 0 Rhode Island. .If the quarantine is es- tablished it will mean that the animtis will be subjected to the application of the opthalmic-Mallein test before be- ing admitted into the state.. At a session of the Westerly pro bate court Tuesday afternoon, Judge Edward M. Burke, the first and final account of Wayland D, Chapman, ex ‘ecator of the estate of Harriet E Chapman and the second account of | James McCall, administrator of the | { Crumb estate, were examined, ailowsd and ‘ordered recorded. |- The will of Henry E.
