Whtrs Youthful Offenders to Committed. Trial According Get Separate Crimes Washington, D. C, MchB. An ef fort is being made in Washington as in several other cities to introduce the Juvenile Court by which youthful of fenders will be granted separate trials and accorded punishment according to their age and their experience in crime. The experiment has been so thoroughly tested in New York, Chicago, St Louis and notably in Denver, where Judge Ben Lindsay presides over this tribunal that it is conceded to be a necessary part of the Government of all large - cities. Seven years ago there was not a juvenile court in the country but , they are now regarded as the only ef fective and humans way of treating .youthful offenders end Jan one of the most important judicial reforms of the century. They are founded on the pre sumption that tho child delinquent is not a criminal and that he shall not be treated as a criminal and its object is to reclaim each child brought before it . to useful citizenship. ' Th idea of pun inhment is.climinated as far as possible and the commitment to reform schools ii the last resort : The bill to estab Jifih such a court in the District of Columbia is now before Congress and has already passed the Senate.

Scales Off Body Young Lady is Now 17 Years Old and Skin is Without a Scar Cured By CUTICURA REMEDIES . AT EXPENSE OF $4.50 ,rWben I was one month old I was taken with ecsema. After being under the treatment of two doctors (or one month and; no improvement,' my mother was. advised -by a druggist rtry Cuticura Soap and Ointment, was one crust of sores from head to foot. My mother could brush the scales off my body; and my finger and toe nails fell. After -using six cakes of Cuticura Soap and about as much Cuticura Oint ment I was completely cured. I am now seventeen years old and my skin has not a scar. I am still finding wonders in Cuti cura; after washing a fever blister two days it was completely gone." Your Cuticura friend, . Miss Cola Glasscock,. Oct. 27, 1905. ; ; Marksville, La, - The attention of parents is called to the fact that the Cuticura Remedies were used on a one month old baby with complete success, proving what we have always claimed that these great curatives are so pure, so sweet, and so delicately medicated that they may be used on the youngest infanta. : . . CUTICURA REMEDIES Are the Best for Skin and Blood "About three years ago my face be gan to get rough with acne and kept getting worse. A year ago I read in a paper of the Cuticura Remedies for the skin and blood. I sent for them at once. I used -the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pill, and in three months my skin was soft and smooth, and the pimples have all disappeared without the services of a physician. I think the Cuticura Remedies are the best that any one can use for the skin and blood." May 0. Scliieferle, Sept. 8, 1905.

Cotton Letter Special to Journal. Greensboro, March 8. The sentiment about cotton for a month or more has been extremely bearish, and those who have bad courage sufficient to say any thing favorable have been in a very small minority. Therefore, the selling by disgusted bulls and confident bears has met little check, although the de mand by spinners has been tremendous and seems to expand as the market declines. This trade demand is the bickl.one of the market, so yesterday when a prominent operator gave out some figures about the amount ginned, the trading talent seemed to at once' real ize thit selling cotton short at 10 J cents, with spinners buying everything of fered at a reasonable basis, was a dif ferent thing from selling at 12 cents, when the buyers were a promiscuous lot of misinformed and mistaken ipecu lators. The statistical facts about cot ton, are sure to become bullish before the season is over, and a big crop is needed for next year. The thing weigh ing most against the market now is. the accuniution of low grades, for which there is no particular demand, this may change at any time. We con tinue to think from a merchantile standpoint that cotton is worth what it is fetching, and chances favor a farther advance.
