' In Agony With Eczema,
“No tongue can tell how I suffered
for five vears with itching and bleed=
ing eczema, until I was cured by the
Cuticura Remedies,andI am so grate-
ful I want the world to know, for
what helped me will help others. My
body and face werecovered with sores.
One day it would seem to be hetter,
and then break out again with the
most terrible pain and itching. I
have been sick several times,
never in my life did I experience such
awful suffering as with this eczema. I
had made up my mind that death was
near at hand, and I longed for that
time when I would be at rest. I had
tried many different doctors and med-
icines without success, and my moth-
er brought me the Cuticura Remedies,
insisting that I try them. I began to
feel better after the first bath with
Cuticura Soap, and one application of
Cuticura Ointment.
“I continued with the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment,and have
taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolv=-.

wonderful cure by the Cuticura Rem-
edies can write to my address. Mrs.

Oldest Vehicle in America.
What is claimed to be the oldest ve-
hicle in America is in possession of
the chamber of commerce, Los Ange-
les, Cal. It was made by the Pueblo
Indians of Tesuque, a village nine
miles from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and
was purchased in 1878 from a native
named Alfonso, who at that time was
85 years old. His statements and the
traditions of the village were to the
effect that the big, clumsy ox cart, or
carreeta, was handed down from fath-
er to son for sufficient genarations to
place its origin in the seventeenth
century. The cart is composed of
wood and rawhide throughout, no
meta! being used in its construction.
The wheels are heavy sections of sy-
camore, with clumsy, bow like pieces
of rim secured opposite each other
on each wheel. The diameter of the
two ungainly wheels is 98 inches. The
axle is of hard wood and the 12-foot
tongue consists of a single length of
mesquite. The body of the vehicle
is six feet long and very broad and
high in proportion.

chanics.

Cures the ‘“Incurable.”
One of the Noble prizes recently
awarded at Stockholm, that for the
most important discovery in medicine,
went to Prof. Theodore Kocher, of
‘Berne, Switzerland, who is now 68
years old.
was considered incurable. He was
the first, about 1880, to attack this
plague in the Valais canton and to
deny that the taking away of the goiter
at first provoked cretinism and then
led to death. He discovered the causes
of these phenomena. At the surgical
congress of Berlin, he communicated
the results of his researches. He
showed that the goiter could be re-
moved, but that it was necessary to
guard against the extirpation of the
gland to which it was attached. This
skillful surgeon has made more than
Figaro.
A GOOD CHANGE
' A Change of Food Works Wonders.
The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is ill, particularly
from stomach and nervous trouble.
‘As an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
“with her husband, been brought
around to health again by leaving off
coffee and some articles of food that
did not agree with them. They began
using Postum and Grape-Nuts food.
She says:
“For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble,
which kept getting worse, until I was
very ill most of the time. About four
years ago 1 left off coffee and began
taking Postum.
bowels improved right along, but I
was so reduced in flesh and so ner-
vous that the least thing would over-
come me.

The Upstanding Brush.
. A very satisfactory substitute for
the osprey is a brush of gold wire
nearly as fine as thread. A gold or-
nament holds the wire threads at the
base. This resembles an Old World
boquet holder in its cornucopia form.
The upstanding brush is used to give
a military dash to fur toques, and is
invading the realm of millinery with
great success.
Seven Gored Maternity Skirt.
The skirt that is simple, yet in-
cludes ‘a generous number of seams,
is always a desirable one for mater-
nity wear. The seams give an effect
of slenderness and the many gores al-
low satisfactory shaping. This one
can be made either in walking or
round length and is adjusted at the
waist line by means of an elastic in-
serted in a casing, so that the waist is
easily accommodated to the need.
Serge is the material illustrated, but
all plain and all striped sorts are ap-
propriate. Figures should be avoided.
The skirt is cut in seven gores,
which are shaped to give the best
possible lines. It is finished at the
waist line with a casing and elastic
that allow of increasing the size eas-
ily and satisfactorily.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is ten yards

The waist is made with a fitted lin-

These last are gathered and arranged
over the foundations and the shaped

The brown veils are worn with the

Walked tc Parliament.
All members of parliament did not
ride to London from their constituen-
cies in the lod days. Mr. Barclay, of
Ury, who represented Kincardineshire
in the eighteenth century, always
walked the whole way, doing his 50
miles a day with ease. Marathon run-
ners may note that his refreshment
on the journey was a bottle of port,
poured into a bowl and drunk off at a
draught. George III. took much in-
terest in Mr. Barclay’s achievements
and said: “I ought to be proud of
my Scotch subjects, when my judges
ride and my members of parliament
walk to the metropolis.” The former
allusion was to Lord Monboddo, who
always rode to town instead of driv-
ing, considering it unmanly “to sit on
a box drawn by brutes.” —London
Chronicle.
Prices of Shoe Leather.
It may all be true that shoe leather
and shoe materials have been making
record heights in soaring above the
pocketbocks of the people at large.
The great modern aviotors have been
making some flying records in Cali-
fornia recently, but they had to come
down finally to the ground. Just now
Alexander & Co., of this town, are
teaching the shoe trade in general that
soaring leather prices can be brought ,
down to the ground in their trememn-
dously attractive Round-Up Shoe sale.
Judging from the crowds waiting to
get into this store these Round-Up
shoe sale prices appear to appeal, to
economical and thrifty shoe buyers.
Electric Cure for San Jose Scale.
The San Jose scale has nearly kill-
ed my fruit trees. They bore no
fruit and the bark was badly shriveled,
in some places it was split open. It
occurred to me that perhaps I might
be able to kill the scale by electricity.
On a rainy day, when the trees were
wet, I put a strong pocket (French)
battery at the base of a tree and the
other pole at the tip of each limb, and
completely killed the scale, so that it
has entirely disappeared. New
shoots have come and good fruit has
been produced.—Suburban Life.

Hunger Among the Rich.
“Do you know that there is almost
as much hunger among the very rich
in New York as there is among the
very poor, in proportion to the size of
the classes?” said a physician the
other day. “It all comes from trying
to get slender, and I may say is large-
ly confined to the women. Why, not
so very long ago a friend of mine, a
specialist, was called to see a woman
who had millions in her own right. Her
‘own phyisician had not been able to
determine what was the matter with
her. The specialist looked her over
and asked her a few questions. ‘Ma-
dam,” he said, ‘you are starving to
death. All I would prescribe for you
would be a few hearty meals.’ ”’—New
York Sun.
