First Had Itching Rash—Threatened Later With Blood-Poison in Leg— Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "About twelve or fifteen years ago I had a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so badly that I could not havo any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used somf) Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began 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. Treat ment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. P. Hennen, Milan, Mo., May 13,1907." Australia's Wild Oysters.

It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman's feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is LYDIA SLPINKHAftS'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Will Young, of 0 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Ale., says: " I was troubled for along time with dreadful backaches and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until I was discouraged and thought 1 would never get well. I read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had done for others and decided to try it; after taking three bottles I can truly say that I never felt so well in my life." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound cured me and made me feel like a new woman." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E.

Lost—Material for One Army Officer WASHINGTON.^— Lost — Somewhere in Virginia, 180 pounds. Finder please return to Maj. Gen Fred Grant, commander of the department of the east, who will attend to its distribu tion pro rata among 40 army officers. If all the detritus, cellular and adi pose tissue, cuticle, epidermis and derma matter could be collected from along the route of the test ride that finished at Fort Myer the other day the United States army would be the richer by one highly efficient officer. All the 40 officers came back, but there was a hiatus somewhere. There had been one member, or his equiva lent, left by the way, for the command averaged 4y 2 pounds lighter to the man than when it started. Forty times Elkins Won't Stop Marriage to Duke SENATOR ELKINS will not oppose the marriage of his daughter Kath erine to the duke of the Abruzzi after all. The wedding probably will be solemnized in November. If the duke were as sure of this as is Washington society, he would be spared a lot of worry. As a matter of fact, the duke is about to start for Washington, fearing all the while that the senator will withdraw his consent to the marriage on account of Queen Helena's unrelenting opposition. The duke fears Senator Elkins will play the part of a high spirited Ameri can and endeavor to prevent the mar riage, fearing that with the Italian Government Clerk Is Sadder But Wiser THE down-on-his-luck story of Stephen K. Booth, government clerk, is no more aggravated than many another story that might be told by persons who have come to Wash ington to settle down in a federal berth for a life of happiness and peace if not luxury and affluence—only to be rudely awakened to a condition of af fairs that would cause an ordinary person to turn pessimist even to the point of wishing that there were no such thing as a government. Considering everything, Stephen fared remarkably well. In the end he came out with a government job; not as good a one as he had builded on, perhaps, but a government job, just the same. Thousands have not sur vived so fortunately. Stephen comes from Minnesota. F'or eight years he labored, if that word can be used properly in connection with the things that a government clerk does in order to draw his salary. He worked in the bureau of the cen sus. Gradually his compensation was increased during that time until it reached the figure of $1,200 a year. Then Stephen became fired with an ambition. He took a look around him and decided he could do better in some other department of Uncle Sam's service. So he "accepted" a position as a special agent in the immigration service, under the department of jus tice. This was in May of this year. Stephen is a man of a family. His new work took him back to Minnesota, Great Exhibit of Aerial Craft Planned THE marked general interest in aerunautics aroused by the Zep . pelin and other dirigible balloon ! I flights in Europe, aeroplane flights in J !

This much was expected when j the ambulance drove into the post ! empty about 10:30 a. m. There were ■ eager inquiries concerning the where abouts of the officers, and the driver, waving an arm, said: "Oh, there or thereabouts. We was in a hurry, so we walked back." Undoubtedly the 40 were "out there somewhere," but. they were a long time crossing the finish line. Everybody was in good spirits at the finish or said he was. There was little doubt about Gen. Grant. He was as hard as nails to start with, having done some 300 miles of saddle work this season. There was a corps of surgeons in waiting at the hospital for the re turned prodigals. A minute examina tion was made of all the victims, and the results, comprising pulse, temper ature, weight and respiration, were all tabulated. royal family so haughty, his daugh- j ter's position at court would be rathet | equivocal. Senator Elkins is said to have give,* the matter careful thought and d« , cided that on account of the duke'l hifch position, the young women would soon force merited recognition. Queen Helena is one of the most j uncompromising enemies of the man ; riage. Her majesty, a princess oi j Montenegro, seems anxious to show her devotion to the dignity of thi j house of Savoy, which her own mar j riage imperiled, as disappointed match making royal mothers saw when it j was celebrated. Save among Republicans and So ] cialists, public opinion in Rome, ac- j cording to a dispatch, reflects, dis- i tortedly, the royal opposition. Th« j Italians are angry because the Ameri- j cans, instead of loudly rejoicing that J Miss Elkins was to marry into the royal house, have taken an unenthusi- ; astic attitude toward the love affair. which is one of the pathetic features of the story. His headquarters were at St. Paul, where he moved his fam ily after disposing of all his household effects in the capital city. For a short time —less than a month, In fact —he enjoyed his new field of work and his increased salary, for, with the addi tion to his responsibilities there had also come an Increased amount in his semi-monthly pay envelope. In the evenings he was wont to stroll out and mingle again with his old-time cronies. He talked to them knowingly about matters pertaining to the na tional government, and incidentally impressed on them that perseverance is the only requisite of success under the civil service. One day Stephen received a letter from Washington. It was couched in formal language, but from reading it Stephen gathered that the government had no longer any need for his serv ices, or words to that effect. The gov ernment was very, very sorry, so said the man whose signature was attached to the letter. It was this way: Congress had failed to grant the amount required and expected for the service, and it would be necessary to dispense with the services of the new appointees. It meant a laying off of a number of em ployes in each of the 11 districts, into which the service is divided. Stephen is now back in the bureau of census. His salary is only SI,OOO a year, for his place had been filled as soon as he left, and it just hap pened that Director North had a va cancy in the lower grade. It cost him something to move out to Minnesota and back again, but, taken all in all arid in the light of experience had by others which turned out less fortunate ly, he considers that, at least, it might have been worse.

THIRTEEN PEOPLE DIE IN FIRE A GRAIN ELEVATOR AT RICH FORD, VT., EXPLODES. Twelve Men and a Woman Perish in the Fire that Follows—Loss is About $400,000. Richford, Vt. —With a concussion which shook the entire village, ; a large grain elevator, having a capacity of 500,000 bushels, exploded late Wednesday, causing the death of 12 workmen and a woman. The ex i plosion blew off the entire roof of the I building, scattering timbers in all di rections, and almost instantly llames | burst out all over the structure. Twenty-one men were employed in the building, of whom 12 are missing and undoubtedly perished. All lived in Richford. Mrs. John Jelifore, who was walk ing with a companion along the Cana dian Pacific track close to the ele vator, was burned to death and an un known woman, who was with her, was burned so seriously that her life Is despaired of. The elevator was owned jointly by the Canadian Pacific and Boston & Maine railroads and was occupied by the Quaker Oats Co. of Chicago. The amount of grain it contained was very large. The flames, which are sup posed to have been started by spontaneous combustion in the dry dust of the grain, spread so quickly that the limited fire apparatus of the village was of no avail. Nothing could prevent the entire destruction of the elevator and its contents. The heat set fire to a flour shed near the elevator and the shed, to gether with 75 freight cars standing | near it, were burned.

At 2 p. m. a great demonstration in I favor of union with Greece occurred 1 on the military review grounds. More ; than 10,000 people gathered at this j place. All the prominent revolutionary leaders appeared and they were sup ported by the heads of the different political parties, the mayors of the towns, the clergy and others infiuen -1 tial in the island. Speeches were ; made by various representatives, who declared that the peaceful political revolution which they had assembled to consummate was not directed against the powers, which had been the island's benefactors, but solely at proclaiming the island's union with the motherland. They called upon the government to act henceforth in the : name of the kingdom of Greece, Ten thousand men, thereupon, ! marched to the various consulates, leaving at each of them a written copy of the resolutions adopted. They then surged to the governor's palace j and lowered the flag of Crete, raising the Greek flag in its place. The flags on all the public buildings were sim ilarly replaced by the flag of Greece.
