large, round, whitish patches on the crown
and bark of the head which 1 thought were
dandruff but oa cte.nr examination I dis
covered that thegr were ringworms. Ai
time elapced they bi|iu to spread and the
itching was terrible. The scalp was of a
whitiah color resembling a patch of dan
druff and when the comb was applied It
would Meed. The Itching was terrible and
it was the scratchtnit that caused the trouble
to spread. I had the hair cut cloae.
"After three months' use of different
remedies without any success I was told
of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and decided
to give thaiu a trial. I had the scalp well
wallied with the Cuticura Soap and tlioa
dried the bead after which I rubbed on the
Cuticura Ointment. Within a week"! saw
marked signs of improvement and in two ,
weeks the trouble had completely disap

JANUARY SIOWS RISE ill
COLD STORAGE APPLES
United Statw Department of Agricul
ture Beporta Increase of 2H.4 Per
Cent Over Corresponding Period
Two Team Ago
Washington, D. C., March 10.—Ac
cording to investigations conducted 'by
the office of markets, United Wtates De
partment of Agriculture, there was an
increase in the movement of cold stor
age . pples during January as Compared
with December, it is impossible to give
the total quantities of uoxos und oar
i rels in storage on February 1 because
many firms withhold information as to
their holdings. However, it is thought
that a sufficient number are co-operat
ing with the office of markets to- war
rant conclusions as to the total move
ment throughout the country.
Basing estimates upon the returns
from a large number of commercial ap
ple cold storuges and granting the con
ditions for this number are representa
tive of the whole, it appears (I) that
holding on Febhiary 1, 1915, were
2 8.4 pit* cent, greater than on the same
date twfl years ago; (2) That 25.2
per cent, of the total holdings have
been moved since Decein'ber Ist, the
decrease of barreled stock being 25.4
per c<y»t. and boxes 17 per cent.; (3)
That during January 17 per cent, of
'barreled apples and 10-*» per ccut. of
boxed apples were takeu out of cold
storage, the total decrease on the basis
of holdings, Decein'ber 1, beiug 10.6
per cent. ,
It was not thought that the demand
for cold storage apples in January
would bo very much greater than in
'December, owing to the fact, as pointed
out in a previous report, that the large
supply of common storage stock, to
gethei with Christmas purchases, would
restrict the movement of apples- from
cold storage during last month. The
attention of those interested is called
again to the fact that practically all
common storage applus, as a rule, pass
into consumption bv the Ist of Feb
ruary. If this condition has been true
of the preseut season, it is thought that
the movement of cold storage apples
will be very large during .February and
IMarch. The supply certainly is bounti
ful and, as the result of low prices and
a large demaud, it is thought the con
sumption during the next few months
will be sufficient to exhaust the sup
ply.
The advisability of moving the
stocks aro rapidly as possible is urged
upon growers and dealers so that the
unusually large holdings may diminish
sufficiently to prevent disaster in April
or May.

H. C. KENNEDY SUCCESSFUL
Induced Dr. Howard Co. to Make
Special Prices
After a great deal of effort and cor
respondence, H. C. Kennedy,.the popu
lar druggist, has succeeded in getting
the Dr.-Howard Co. to make a special
half-price introductory offer on the
regular fifty-cent size of their cele
brated specific for the cure of con
stipation Hnd dyspepsia.
Dr. Howard's specific has been so re
markably successful in curing, constipa
tion, dyspepsia all liver troubles
that 11. C. Kennedy is willing to return
the price paid in every case where it
does not give relief.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specks before the ftyes,
constipation and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this spe
cific that H. C. Keunedy has been able
to secure only a limited su|ff4y t and
everyone who is troubled with dyspep
sia, constipation or liver trouble should
call upon him at once, or send 25 cents
ami get sixty doses of the best medi
cine ever made, on this special half
price offer with his personal guarantee
to refund the money it* it does not
cure.—Adv.
Cooks Prefer
Kelley's Coal
A range fire to give satisfaction
must respond to the needa of the
cook —netjds which vary as the
foodstuffs vary from meal to
mew. Cooks (and there are hun
dreds of them) who have burned
Kelley's Coal prefer it fer the
range. Because it gives that
steady, even heat so necessary for
good eoolring and baking.
Coal for your range mixed any
way you order it.
