NAT M. WASHER IS
CENSUS SUPERVISOR
Following a conference of local re-
publican leaders with Cecil A. Lyon
Texas republican national committee-
man Nat M. Washer was yesterday ten-
dered the position of supervisor of the
United States census for this congres-
sional district.
“A man was wanted’’ said Col.
Lyon “who had business ability and
politics has nothing to do with this
matter. Mr. Washer was the general
choice and was endorsed by the Cham-
ber of Commerce.”
“I shall accept the office” said Mr.
Washer today. “It came to me unso-
licited and it is an irksome task. I
have already more positions with re-
gard to my own business than I can
well fill but I will take up this task as
1 a matter of civic pride and sense of
duty. The census involves the taking
not only of names but the gathering
of much other data such as lists of
manufactories resources etc.”
As soon as his appointment is formal-
ly made and approved Mr. Washer will
appoint the enumerators and other em-
ployes in whose charge the work will
be under his direct supervision.

Pimply Rash Spread Until Head
Face and Body were Covered with
Eczema — Hands Bandaged to
Keep from Scratching—Was a
Fearful Sight and Defied Cure.
CUTICURA MADE SKIN
CLEAR AND HEALTHY
“ My baby’s eczema came on when he
was three months old. like a rash on his
face and then spread over his head.
Then there began to form a lot of small
pimples over his head from which a
watery substance came out and formed
a regular mass of crust all over hie head
face and body. I bad to tie woolen clothe
on his bands to keep him from scratching
himself. He was a fearful sight to look
at. I went to a drug store and tried
some of their remedies for eczema but
they did not do him any good. 1 then
called in one of our leading physicians
and he tried several kinds of medicine
and gave me prescriptions but they
only made him worse.
’’ At this stage a lady friend of mine
came in and advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. That afternoon I sent
for a cake of Cuticura Soap a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura
Pills and in less than a week I could see
a vast improvement in him. I washed
him all over every morning with the
Cuticura Soap and gave him an appli-
cation of the Cuticura Ointment after
his bath. I kept on using the Cuticura
Remedies until ne was completely cured.
They left his skin clear ana healthv and
I always have kept the Cuticura Heme-
dies in the house ever since. I highly
recommend Cuticura to all persons suf-
fering from eczema. Mrs. Kate Broug-
ham. 200 Dewey St.. Bennington Vt.

PIMPLES CURED
“I congratulate Cuticura upon my
speedy recovery from pimples which
covered my face. I used Cuticura Soap
Ointment and Resolvent for ten days
and my face cleared and I am perfectly
well. I had tried doctors for several
months but got no results. Wm. J.
