My little six- onths old girl had Eczema.
We used all kinds of remedies, but she kept
getting worse. I used to wrap her hands up,
and to dress her, bad to put her on the table.
I could not hold hcr, she would kick and
scream, and, when 5110 could, she would tear
her face and arms almost to pieces. Four
boxes of CUTICURA (ointment), two cakes or
CU'Z‘ICURA SOAP, and CUTICURA RESOLVENT
cured her, and no traces are left.

New York, Nov. 19.——The war depart-
ment investigation commission conven-
ed in’ parlor D R of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel at ten o'clock yesterday morning
to ‘continue the examination of wit—
nesses who desire to give testimony on
matters conducted with the conduct of
the late war.
The full commission, with the (1:0
ception of Colonel'Charles Denby, c -.
rotary VVeightman and Major Mi .5'.
who remained in Washington to hold
sessions. were “in attendance wh‘er.
General Dodge called the meeting to
order. .7: .
It is expected that one hundred or
more persons, including Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the governor-elect, will
testify.
When the meeting opened Dr. Chas.
R. Greenleaf, chief surgeon of the:
troops in the field, on General Miles’s
staff, was the only one present.
Dr. Greenleaf took the stand after
having subscribed to the usual oath.
In response to questions in cross ex—
amination by Dr. Phineas S. Conner,
as to the fitness of Camp Alger as a
camping place for troops, he said that
in some respects it was a ver good
camp. I
' It was a good camp for a small body
of men, but there were many draw-
backs. The water supply was poor
and the region was known to be highly
mc'crious.
here was a deficiency of privates in
the hospital corps and of medical ofll-
ccrs. and at times of medical sup—
plies. ,
The best intcrests of the sick, Dr.
Creenlcaf 5. id, were not seriously im-
pcrillcd. but the efforts of the surgeons
were generally embarrassed.
Questioned as to the condition of af—
fairs on the transports, Dr. Greenleaf
said that he did not personally inspect
tho transports at Cuba, but those leav—
ing Porto Rico under his personal di-
rection were well found in all re-
Srnnfg.
Camp Montauk Dr. Greenleaf consid-
ered an ideal camp for its purpose.
Lack of train service he considered a
petty discomfort.
No complaints of any moment were
submitted to him, and the small grum-
blings he heard he investigated and
found without justification.
Questioned as to the discomforts en-
dured by the furlough men, who, sick
and weak, were compelled to loiter
about the railway station awaiting
fares and furloughs, he said that all
that trouble might have been avoided
by the establishment of a quartermas—
ter office at the hospital. That was a
matter of detail that did not occur to
the officers in charge at first. Later a
hospital station was established as an
annex to the railroad station.
General Dodge asked of the condi-
tions of the transports leaving Tampa
for Cuba, and Dr. Greenleaf said they
were dreadfully overcrowded.
He told (ex-Governor Woodbury that
he could not say that the overcrowding
was not a military necessity, but he
was certain it was wrong from a sani—
tary point of view.
David J. G055, a private of the Sev-
enty—first Regiment, who acted as cook
for his company at Camp Black.
said:
"It was all pretty rough. Nothing
went right. It was some one’s incom-
petency, but I don’t know where.”
Henry Hauck,‘an assistant foreman
in the fire department, spoke highly of
the courtesy and attention of. the sur-
geons and said that he had no com-
plaint at all to make of the treatment
he received while in the service cf the
government.

TROOPS FOR CUBA.
\Var Department Officials Believe Fewer
“'lll Be-Nccdcd.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 19.—Adju~
tant General Corbinsays that there
is no intention at present to send the
Sixth Massachusetts or any other reg-
iments recen ly returned from Porto
Rico to Cuba.
The men were given sixty days’ fur-
lough, but were not ordered mustered
out because it was thought they might
be needed later.
If they are not needed they will not
be recalled from their furlough, but
will be mustered out.
At the war department it is believed
that not nearly so many troops will
be needed in Cuba as were designated
in the recent general order.
Then three corps were named and
their stations determined upon. Three
regiments were to be sent to the prov—
ince of Cienfuegos, but now it seems
likely that not more than one regiment
will go there. ,
Other points where large garrisons
were expected will not have the quota
assigned to them, and perhaps not
more than half of the troops first se-
lected will go to the island.
Athens Cheers Prince George.
Athens, Nov. 10.—Prince George of
Greece received an enthusiastig wel-
come hcre and at Piraeus yesterday.
Crowds of Cretans, with banners, sur-
rounded his carriage and cheered him
vociferously.
A grand demonstration is in prepa-
ration to celebrate the prince’s official
appointment as the ruler of the island
of Crete.
King George said yesterday that ht-
cxpcctcd the official notification of the
appointment of Prince George as gov-
ernor of Crete to arrive within three or
four days. 4

A Big Lobster;
Montreal, Nov. 19.——A big lobster is
on exhibition on Beaver Hall Hill. It
weighs twenty-five pounds and meas-
ures forty-two inches from tip to tip,
with claws twenty inches long and sev-
en inches wide.
The lobster was captured. off Grand
Manan island, in the Bay of Fundy,
and its captor says that but one other
as large as this is known to have been
caught there.
Costume of Venetian Cloth.
Red, which in every tone isamarked
feature of Paris gowns, not only as a
prominent agcessory in combination
and decoration, but for entire costumes
as well, appears in the dark rich shade
of the circular tunic overdress to a
French costume of Venetian cloth.
Its trimmings are biasbands of black
velvet outlining the Vandykc points in
front and then passing plainly around
the back, which extends nearly to the
hem of the black under-skirt.
A full circular llounce of velvet add-
ed to a seven-gored foundation of silk
or satin simulates under the points an
entire skirt of the velvet, the width of
the bounce at the loot being four yards
and throe-qunrcrs. A slight fulness,
arranged in pleats under the fastening
of the back, pro .luccs a‘graccful sweep
below.
The corsagc is made with one of the
little fancy jackets which have re-

Six Months in a hath,
Life in a bath must be somewhat
monotonous, but it is quite common in
the best of our modern hospitals. At
first it was tried only in a few absolute-
ly hopeless cases, but the results were
so satisfactory that various forms of
disease are now systematically treated
by continuous immersion in water.
Some time ago, for instance, a. young
girl was dying from a complication of
terrible. diseases. She was a. mere
shadow, and nothing but death was be-
fore her under ordinary treatment. But
an ingenius doctor placed her on a.
sheet and sank her into a. warm bath
so that only her head remained above
water. The bath was kept constantly
warm, and in it she ate, drank, and
slept for 183 days and nights. At the
end of the time she stepped out fat and
strong.
In skin diseases the continuous bath
ls invaluable, for it can be medicated.-
And many hopeless cases of burning
have been successfully treated in this
extraordinary way.
Army Cat Doomed.
Lovers of puss will learn With regret
that the German Army cat is doomed.
For some time past the Kaiser’s mili-
tary establishment has included a regu-
larly organized corps of cats, whose
function it is to protect the military
stores from mice. These cats are train-
ed in their duties by the inevitable
drill-sergeant. They wear badges and
receive rations and medical attendance.
Now the announcement is officially
made that this corps is to be dis-
banded, inasmuch as Professor Loef-
: fler has discovered a species of typhus
bacillus which is fatal to mice, and
whose services will, in consequence, be
substituted for those of the cats.
One can easily imagine the military
Torn, after passing the physical exam-
ination and being mustered in, donning
his badge and reporting for duty, and
drawing his daily rations of milk and
cat’s meat. What puzzles one is what
food the typhus bacillus will consume
and whether it will wear a. badge.
Home-Mad e Ice Cream.
Home-made iczscream sometimes
turns out buttery, to the dismay and
surprise of its producer. To prevent
this condition; it is obligatory that the
scalded and unbeaten cream should be
put together and thoroughly chilled 'be.
fore the dasher of the freezer is turned.
Black gowns of lovely transparent or
sempdiaphanous weaves over silk or
satili’, and in heavier materials for day
wear, will take high place in the ranks
of fashion for the two seasons before

shipping: Molten Iron by Rui'.
Shipping molten iron by rail is a
daily stroke of economy to be wit-
nessed at Duquesne, Pa. The molten
iron as it is tapped from the furnaces
runs into an immense mixing‘ladle
having a capacity of 250 tons, and
from this it is poured into the 20-ton
ladle cars, the ladles being made of
sheet, steel or iron, with a' lining of re-
fractory material. The cars are then
hauled by a locomotive to the steel
works, where the direct conversion of
the molten iron into open-earth steel is
made, avoiding all the expense of
casting the metal into pigs and cool«
ing, handling, reloading. reheating and
reinelting the pig metal.—New York
