We called In a physician at once, but he gave an ointment which was so severe that my babe would scream when it waa put on. We changed doctors and medicine until we had spent fifty dollars or more and baby was getting worse. I was so worn out watching and caring for him night and day that I almost felt sure the disease was incurable. But finally reading of the gor-.- ; ults of the Cuticura Remedies, I determined to try them. I can lrt:'!:f:illy say I was more than surpriso.l, for I bought only a dollar and a half's worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and they did more good than all my doctors' medicines I had tried, and In fact entirely cured him.

These parties re port yearly to the commissioner of their respee the governments. - The commissioners meet sometimes in Washington and sometimes in Ottawa, and either accept or reject the work dona by tbe field parties. Their decision is final. The magnitude of the task is little understood except by those closely connected with the work. There are 600 miles of boundary from Portland canal up tbe coast to Mount St Elias, where It hooks around on to the 141st meridian and shoots for another 600 miles straight north to the Arctic ocean. All the land lying along the boundary must be mapped on an accurate scale, and a strip of topography four miles wide must be run the entire length of the 141st meridian; peaks which cannot be climbed, or rather those which would take too long and would be too expensive to scale, must be determined gcodetlcally; vistas 30 feet In width must be cut through the timbered valleys, and monuments must be set up on the routes of travel and wherever a possible need for them mar occur. The field season is short, lasting only from June to the latter part of September, and along the co.nit operations are constantly hindered by rain, snow, and fog. Rivers abounding In rapid and quicksands have to be crossed or ascended.

More than one surveyor has had the snow sink suddenly benesth his feet, and has Inn saved only by the rope tying him to his comrades. Several have been saved by throwing their alpine stocks crosswise of the gap, and one, w hile crossing the Yakutat glacier with a pack on his buck, caugut only on his extended arms. High mountains must be climbed; If they are not the boundary peaks themselves, they must be blah enough to see the boundary peaks over the intervening summits. And these climbs are not the organized expeditions of an Alpine club, with but one mountain to conquer, but dally routine. Heavy theodolite and topographic cameras must be carried, and Instead (LVF s 7JP d of being able to throw himself down to rest and enjoy the gloriouB panorama, there )e Immediate work to be done, and a few clouds hovering over some distant mountain, Instead of lending beauty to the view, may send the poor surveyor behind some sheltering rock to wait, shivering with cold, until morning will allow him to take up hie etand by the theodclite and complete hie observations.
