AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oinfr nient and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it vai about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving la th® center a spot about tbe size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without remov ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered in tense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidester, Hutch inson, Kan., April 20, 1905." WHAT BECAME OF OLD GLASSES? Mother's Effort to Check Child's Curi osity Proves Futile. A Boston tliree-year-old, like Mr Kipling's elephant's child is distia (uished by her "insatiable curiosity." Bitter and embarrassing experience have led her long-suffering mother ti recognize this fact. Accordingly, when accident* in th« kitchen and the expectation of guests to dine, rendered the purchase of new water glasses necessary, Mrs. S took her daughter Into her confidence. "Sarah," she said, "these are new glasses. I bought them at Stearns' yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Robert drove me over to the shop with Jim and the runabout. Robert wore his 'butternut' livery and his brown derby. I paid six dollars for the glasses, and had them sent. Now you know all about them, and I positively forbid you to ask a single question about them when you see them on the table." Sarah wore a subdued look during the process of the meal, and Mrs. S was beginning to congratulate herself upon the effectiveness of her lesson, when an eager and interested expression came into Sarah's face, and Blie piped in her shrill but engaging voice: "Mother, what did you do with the old glasses?" Impossible Advice. In pulling down an old room at Bocking, England, workmen came upon a wine flagon imbedded in the brickwork. A page of foolscap dated Aug. 15, 1783, found inside the flagon gave details of the building of the chimney of Josiah Reeve, the owner, with the names of "ye master carpen ter" and "ye masterbricklayer." It concluded: "Josiah Reeve, father of six children, leaves this memorandum in this place. His wife was Elizabeth Houston, of Great St. Helens, London, to whom he was married March 18, 1773. Reader, go thou and do like wise." WOMEN'S NEGLECT SUFFERINGTHE SURE PENALTY Health Thus Lost Is Restored by Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong ? We hear everyday the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; lam so tired all the time 1" More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the fe male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance togo anywhere or do anything, backache, hearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv ousness, sleeplessness, or other fe male weakness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering- or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never- failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald of Woodbridge, N. J., writes: Mrs. Pinkliam: " Restored health has meant so much to me that, I cannot help from telling about it for the sake of other suffering women. "For a longtime 1 suffered untold agony with a female trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and strc.ng, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women what a sptuudid medicine it is." For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham. daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under her direction, and since hor decease, been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass. * WHEAT MIDGE. Description and Habits of This Enemy of the Wheat Plant. Prof. H. A. Gossard, entomologist of the Ohio station, says: The fly, which is a close relative of the Hessian fly, is a very small, deli cate insect, appearing on the wing some time hi June, usually about the date when the fireflies first appear and the blossoms of the locust trees are fading and falling to tbe ground. The eggs are laid in a cavity or groove at the upper end of the outer most chaff, so that the young maggots on hatching can readily reach the in cipient kernel. These reddish larvae imbibe nourishment from the inilky kernel, ceasing to feed after the grain becomes hard. When full grown they seek the earth, generally by crawling down the stalk when it Is wet with dew oc by sliding down in a raindrop. Going about one-half an inch beneath the s.uiface, they make cocoons not Wheat Midge (DipiOi'is tritici), n, fe male fly; b, male fly; c, larvae from below. larger than mustard seeds, very diffi cult tr find, in which they remain un til the following summer, when they again Issue as flies. However, many of the larvae have not left the heads by harvest time and these are carried into the barn or stack; they Sjpon be come dry and shrink away from their skins, becoming "cased larvae;" these do not feei; they again become active when thoroughly moistened, even fifter having lain quiescent for more than half a year. Since the chaff from the threshing machine contains countless numbers of these "cased larvae," it should be promptly burned; the bulk of the straw can be put to its custom ary use without special danger. All seed wheat should be well fanned or screened to prevent sowing midge larvae along with the seed. The screenings should be burned. The great majority of the flies are always derived from the pupae buried in old wheat fields. Rotation of crops will be of some help in controlling them, many of the flies becoming lost and perishing while hunting new fields in which to lay their eggs. However, the only thorough remedy is to plow the stubble under in the fall to such a depth that the flies cannot make their way to the surface the next year. This should be done as soon after har vest as possible. Plowing to a depth of eight or nine inches is sufficient. Burning the stubble before plowing will help. Neighborhood cooperation in all these remedial measures is im portant. FOR GOOD ROADS. What _ Pennsylvania Is Doing to Im prove Her Highways. Pennsylvania thinks it has the most liberal good roads Jaw in the country and thinks it is doing more to make good roads than any other state in the union. The law. whi.ch was passed in 1905, runs for five years and appro priates a total for the state's share in making good roads, $0,356,232. Nearly $1,000,000 was expended for the fiscal year of 1905 and for the years 1906-'O7, each, $1,250,000 is set aside. For the next two years the an nual expenditure will be $1,500,000. This represents three-fourths oft.ho sum expended. Of the remainder t'.ie county pays one-eighth and the town ship one-eighth. The roads must 'ne permanent and the standard is very high. There is a state department of highways, and when the state first be gan this system that department com plained that, the counties and town ships refused to do, or were very slow in doing their part. But the small beginning won for itself, and now the local bodies are most eager for the work, making greater demands than the appropriation can meet. The amount of work already applied for by the counties outruns the state ap propriation by millions of dollars. In other words, the farmers, seeing what good roads mean to them, are eager to pay their part where the state helps so liberally. In 48 of the 60 counties the fentire amount allotted has been absorbed. Chester county, for exam ple, has made 11 miles of road aad has auplied for 13 miles-more, which exhausts its share of the state aid. But it has additionally applied for 229 miles more. Altogether the state is so pleased with the good roads ex periment that it is believed the legis lature will enlarge the appropriation. The state treasury has a large surplus, and it is proposed to exhaust it in giv ing the state %'ood roads. Mend the Grain Bags. Grain bags with holes in them art a big nuisance. Pretty good idea to mend the holes before thrashing time. Turn tin- bug that lias a hole in it wrong side out and neatly stitch on the patch. T'.K- bag will look much better than i! would were the piece put on the o-jtside. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906. FADED TO A SHADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer ing from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, 0., says:"l have worked hard in my time and have been 112 % exposed again and •] again to changes of weather. It is no JfiJrwSfffewonder my kidneys _ / JppL gave out and I went * all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get outi of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur be fore me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I grot help from the first box of Doan"s Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since."

FINDS VIRTUE IN OLD CLOTHES. Men's Garments Shaped to the Figure by Age Catch Artist's Eye. To the eye of the artist the gar ments of the modern man are only tolerablo when age has adapted them somewhat to the lines of the figure; to the average; artist a new suit cf clothes is an abomination. "It is not only that new clothes are more ugly than old," said a knight of the palette who discussed the ques tion; "to my mind no one can be prop erly easy or graceful in them. "I never feel that I properly know a man until I have met him wearing an old suit. Certainly no man can possi bly be his natural self in evening dress. "I have noticed again and again how different the same people are when wearing different clothes. I went, for instance, to a large family gathering some time ago, and for some reason everybody had donned full evening dress. What a differ ence it made! We were all on terms of intimate friendship, but somehow the clothes brought in an element cf coldness and formality. We all felt it —even the women, although, of course, the fair sex are not easily per suaded of the merits of well-worn gar ments. But no man who lias discov ered the ease acd comfort of there wili readily give them up. As for the artistic side of modern clothes, it only comes when they have mellowed by use!" WELL PEOPLE TOO Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Con valescents. A wise doctor tries to give nature its best chance by saving the little strength of the already exhausted pa tient, and building up wasted energy with simple but powerful nourish ment. "Five years ago," writes a doctor, "I commenced to use Postum in my own family instead of coffee. I was so well pleased with the results that I had two grocers place it in stock, guaranteeing its r;ale. "I then commenced to recommend It to my patients in place of coffee, as a nutritious beverage. The conse quence is, every store in town is now selling it, as it has become a house hold necessity in many homes. "I'm sure I prescribe Postum as often as any one remedy in the Ma teria Medica —in almost every case of indigestion and neivousness I treat, and with the best results. "When I once introduce it into a family, it is quite sure to remain. I shall continue to use it and prescribe it in families whore I practice. "In convalescence from pneumonia, typhoid fever and other cases, 1 give it as a liquid, easily absorbed diet. You may use my letter as a reference any way you see fit."
