"About twelve or fifteen years ago I had a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace be cause of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and be gan to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to 1 bipod-poison.

GROWS BUTTERED POTATO Farmer Creates New Vegetable by Crossing Guber With Butter Bean. John Slavin, who lives over near the foot of the mountain, came into town yeBterday and reported that the potato crop would be enormous. The plants were not bothered much by the bugs, and there was Just enough rain to develop the tubers without making them rot. Mr. Slavin hopes to give the world a unique article In the potato line this summer. He does not speak much about it, since he wants to sur prise the public, but enough infor mation has been dropped to give a fair idea of his experiments. This well known and thoroughly truthful farmer has crossed the white potato with the butter bean, to the end that he can produce a buttered potato. He figures out that with such a vegetable on the market there will be a saving in the United States each year of more than $8,000,000. Ho hag obtained government statistics which prove that this amount Is spent annually In buttering the boiled and roasted potatoes and in making the mashed article. Mr. Slavin had first thought of us ing the buttered beet, but it did not have the rich yellow color of the but ter bean. Wheatstone . correspon dence Philadelphia North American.

FRANCONJA NOTCH k5 AUTUMNAL FOLIAGE SEASON IN THE ROOF GARDEN OF NEW ENGLAND The Ideal Period of the Tear For Matchless Scenery and Incomparable Outdoor Life Enjoyed Annually by Thousands From Nearly Every Clime. (From Special Correspondent.) "There is a beautiful spirit breathing now Its mellow richness on the clustered trees, And from a beaker full of richest dyes Pouring new glory on the autumn woods And dipping in warm light the pil lared clouds." Longfellow may well have had in mind the White Mountains of New Hampshire in Autumn when he penned this delightful sentiment, for nowhere In America are the glories of the autumnal foliage more exuberant ly imposing than there. Since early July the hotels, board ing houses and camps throughout the White Mountain region have been filled to overflowing with "vacation ists" from every State of the Union, reveling in the matchless scenery and air and Incomparable outdoor life of the "roof garden of New England." Many of these have been obliged to return to homes and offices, but hundreds are still lingering for that most magnificent of all seasons In the mountains Autumn and hundreds more, in towns and cities far and near, are packing trunks and suit cases in eager anticipation of an au tumn trip to the glorious White hills. More and more our American peo ple are beginning to appreciate the virtues of a fall outing In the mountains and the lake country. In many respects it is the ideal period of the entire year for outdoor life and recreation. Not only Is it marked by more comfortable temperature than July and August, but there is a clar ity of atmosphere and tonic of air that add fifty per cent, to the comfort and pleasure of out-of-door existence. This season's crowning accessory, in the mountains, however, is the au tumnal foliage, which,' at the first ca ressing touch of the frost king trans forms the landscape into "a grand harleqinade of nature" and fur nishes vast color-pictures that delight the eye and stun the senses. In every notch, valley and ravine. and upon the slopes of every moun-! tain, large or small, the giant brush of the Great Painter leaves a riot of crimson, orange and gold; and wher ever stands a maple, sumach or birch, there is a living rainbow of color. Only In the mountains may the full glory and beauty of the autumnal foliage be seen and understood, for It Is only by standing upon the summit or higher slopes of some eminence and looking down into the brightly carpeted valleys, perhaps a couple of thousand feet below, that any com prehensive idea of the extent and magnificence of nature's autumnal handiwork can be gained. "WHERE ONE MAY REVEL More regal In beauty and pictur esqueness than the most imposing coaching, parade, ever I held in the White Mountains or, than the most glittering ball that "ever took place in thulf palace hotels, these wonderful Outdoor displays of color are verit ably "brighter than brightest silks of Samarcand." A brief sojourn amid them has helped to carry many a (wearied business man or society wom an through the most trying periods of winter activity. V. - . :.'-:.:. ? " An adequate description of the Crawford Notch, even in mid-summer, has been the despair of many a tal ented master of literature, but the best of them are dumb.before the in describable glory of the Notch in mld-Aufiimn. Writing of a visit thither, some years ago, the late Samuel Adams Drake one of the best of the White Mountains' biographers said of the approach to the Notch through the Saco valley: "Myriad flambeaux Illuminated the deep gloom, doubling the intensity of the sun, emitting rays, glowing, re splendent. This splendid light, which the heavy masses of orange seemed to absorb, gave a velvety softness to the lower ridges and spurs, covering Approach of a Storm In the White Mountains. their hard, angular lines with a mag nificent drapery. The lower forests, the valley, were one vast sea of color. Here the bewildering melange of green and gold, orange and purple, crimson and russet, produced the ef fect of an immense Turkish rug the colors being soft and rich, rather than vivid or brilliant. This quality, the blending of a thousand tints, the dreamy grace, the sumptuous profu sion, the Inexpressible tenderness, in toxicated the senses. Earth seemed no longer earth. We had entered a garden of the gods." From Jefferson and its near neigh bors on the north side of the Presi dential Range a picture of the autum nal blazonry cycloramic in its scope may be enjoyed. If the summits of the mountains should chance to be snow-tipped, then Is there set forth a pictorial triumph that will never fade from the memory. IN MATCHLESS SCENERY.' In its own peculiar way the lovely Franconla Notch, guarded by the "Old Man of the Mountains," and possess ing its wonderful Flume and Pool and the recumbent Washington, has a unique interest to those who love the autumnal foliage. Differing from all the other mountain defiles and possessing still its old-time Concord passenger coach, it is in the tall re splendent U1 color and warmth, from Echo Lake all the way to North Woodstock. PEARL8 OF THOUGHT. Some people spend all their lives following advice. Money is tho root of all evil, and msot of us are rooters. Poverty is no crime, but the penalty Is imposed just the same. No man can serve two masters, and few. can master two servants. Physical culturo never extends to carrying other people's burdens. Charity covers a multitude xf sins, but they are apt to show through. Make the- most of yourself or some other fellow will make the most of you. 1 Because love is blind Is no reason why a lover should make a spectacle of himself. Cupid carries his bow and arrow In one hand and a copy of Bradstreet's In the other. You never hear a married man boast that he has never made a mis take in his life. Many a woman worries more about owing a call than she does about ow ing the butcher. A man never knows who his friends are till he hasn't any. That sounds like an Irish bull. It wouldn't take a fruit dealer to convince us that bridal pairs are soft est when they are green. Most of a find it easier to boast of what we are going to do thanto brag about what. we have done. All things may come to those who wait, but they will come sooner if you are too busy to wait for them. A man may have an Impediment in his speech, but that doesn't matter so much if there is none in his nerve From "Musings of a Gentle Cynic" in the New York-Times. LEAN YEAR FOR CHURCHES. Those of Great Britain Lost Many Members In 1907. Lest year was a lean year for the churches both at home and abroad. The Baptist communicants in Great Britain in 1907, according to the In dependent, were 429,977, which was 4,864 fewer than In 1906. There were 744 more Sunday school teachers, but 3,161 fewer pupils. The British Congregationalists have almost held their own, but not quite. Thelv membership is 459.CC3 for 1907, a loss of 275. While the Sunday school teachers have increased by 1,589, the pupils have fallen off by 9,030. The Wesleyan Methodists show the sama loss, the membership of 525, 256 being 2,200 fewer than in the previous year, while the pupils are fewer by nearly 13,000. Five smaller Methodist . denomina tions show a total loss of 8,515 pupllB and a small loss in members. A single one, the Primitive Methodists, report a gain of 1,500 members, but they lose 1,203 Sunday school pupils. In Wales the largest denomination is the Welsh Calvanistlc MethodiBt Connexion, which is Presbyterian In government. Its membership la given as 187,768, a loss of 1,396. The total loss in membership of the Nonconformist denominations is about 14,000 and that in Sunday schools is more than 35,000. Indeed one of the best ecclesiastical statisticians in Great Britain puts the loss in mem bers In England and Wales at 17,434. A principal cause of this ebb is the Bloughing off of the excess members who joined the churches during the excitement of the Welsh revival. The Honest Robber. The fourth carl of Stauhope, when on his homeward way late one dark night, was held up by the most gen tlemanly, of highwaymen, who pre fererd his request for money or th nobleman's life In quite the nicest way. It happened that Lord Stanhope naa not any money with him and was disinclined to yield the alternative. "Your watch, then,' suggested the gentleman at the oposlte end of the pistol. That watch, the earl explained, was dear to him. He valued it at a hundred guineas, and would not sur render it. "What I will do," ho said, is to bring and deposit in this tree the worth of the watch in money, and you can call and get it tomorrow night," says the London Standard. 'Done, m' lord," said the highway man. The law knew nothing about this arrangement, and the earl did as he had promised. He placed the hundred guineas where the highwayman might at his leisure collect it. And there, so far as he knew, the matter ended. Years afterward he attended a great banquet in tho city and found himself pleasantly entertained by an extreme ly well known man, whose signature was good for a sum in several figures. Next day came to Lord Stanhope a letter enclosing the sum of 100 guin eas. Accompanying it was a note bog ning his acceptance of a loan granted some years previously to the. man who now forwarded it. That loan, said the letter, had en abled the sender to gain a new start In life, to make a fortune, and to re new acquaintance at dinner on the previous night with his lordship. The city maguate and the highwayman of earlier days were one and the same. Brodklyn Eagle. Cosmopolitanism. We are gradually growing cosmopo litan; dining al fresco, going after dinner to outdoor amusements, even appearing in hats at clubs and restau rants. Outdoor life is what London has always -needed In the summer, and the Influx of forelgneis is show ing us the 'way to play the game. London Graphic. Shrlk of the Air 8hlp. An eye-witness of Count von Zep pelin's airship as it passed over Srtassburg has sent to the London Times an account of his impressions. "The chief impressions she has left on my mind," he says, "are the ter rible sound of her screws and the trustworthiness there is no other word of her beaflng. Tennyson in his vision "heard the heavens fill with shouting," but that was the shout of battle. The noise of one of these airships not to speak of a fleet of them Is something quite ter rible. The Strassburg observer heard von Zeppelin's airship when she was "about a mile away." He says that the "shriek of her screw" was audi ble "above the noises all about." In the airship itself the din must be very like that in a boilermaklng shop not favorable, for warlike purposes, and certainly not for scouting, and a great drawback to even peaceful trav eling. This shrieking of the ma chinery Is said by this observer to be "almost painful when the ship is near." Hartford Courant. Old Age Is Inevitable. The theory of Metchnlkoff that old age results from poisoning by bac teria In the colon, and may be avoid ed by certain rules of diet, is not sup ported by the studies of Prof. H. Ribbert, director of the pathological institute at Bonn. Death from old age is due 'to anatomical changes, atrophy of the nerve cells, and these changes are an Inevitable result of the physico-chemical course of living matter. No proof of special effect of diet is obtainable. The most care ful inquiry shows the meat eater as likely to become a centenarian as the vegetarian, and the use of tobacco or alcohol signifies little. The chief factor in long life appear to be de scent from long lived stock and the accident of favorable living condi tions.

One pile was found to be thoroughly sound, and a care ful investigation of the cause of this exception revealed the fact that the pile had been used to support a live wire. He then carried out experi ments with electricity upon wooden piles, and discovered that the teredo would not bore into a pile in which a very small current was maintained. Philadelphia Record! Travelers Still Increasing. When horse cars took the place of stages in New York City It was thought that congestion in travel would be avoided, but it wasn't. Then it was said a cable road would help relieve It and elevated trains would surely accomplish the purpose. Btill the congestion continued. Then Bub way trains were brought into use, and the congestion is worse today than ever before. RAISED FROM SICK BED After All Hope Had Vanished. Mrs. J. H.
