"DiSfigured
For Life"

Is the despairing cry of thousands
afflicted with
Unsightly skin diseases.
DO you realize what this disfigura.
ton means to sensitive souls?
Il means isolation, SecluSion.
II is a bar to social and business success.
Do you wonder that despair selzeS
upon these sufferers when
Doctors fail,
Standard remedies fail,
And noStrums prove worse than use
leSS2
Skin diseases are most obstinate to
cure or even relieve.
1t is an easy matter to claim to cure
them, but quite another thing 10
do so.
CUTICURA REMEDIES 49,,
Have earned the right to be called
Skin Specifics, ,
Because for years they have met
with most remarkable success.
There are cases that they cannot cure,
but they are few indeed.
1t is no long-drawn-out, expensive
experiment:
25c. invested in a cake OF
CUTICURA SOAP
Will prove more convincing than
a page of advertisement.
In short
CUTICURA works wonders,
And its cures are simply marvellous.

NEW YORK, November 1S-The stock
market was exceedingly dull to-day oi

we're in Sugar Refining. which dropped
from 93ss to sl7s on rumors in regard to
probable tariff changes adverse to the
company's interest. 1t subsequently trans
plred that a number OF privileges ran
out this morning, and those In Interest
finally took the stock in hand and put
the price back TO 931k.
The general list was kept in a waverine
condition by the early drop In Sugar
but did not decline much, outside or chi
cago Gas. which sold down from 62$s to
61l,. On the other hand, when sugar
rallied the whole market improved
quickly. The gain In the BANK
reserves also had some influence. Cnica'
go Gas got back to 631s; Delaware and
Hudson rose II; Lake Shore, l; Louisville
and Nashville, IL; Morris and Essex, 70
Missouri Pacific, p; Jersey Central, Is
Burlington and Quincy, z, to 1875 and
Rock Island, a, to 66A.
The bank statement attracted consid'
erable attention, especially as 1t showed
an increase in the holdings of cash by
the banks OF nearly 100000 The con
traction Of loans was regarded as un-
favorabls, showing as It does a very
limited demand for money for both legiti-
mate and speculative purposes. The
banks gain s7,64l, $50 in surplus reserve
which now stands at 49, 7O, T5, against
1850, 925 a year ago.
The stock market left of firm at the tor

DON'T RUN CHANCES.

It is easy enough for anybody TO tell
whether a garment OF clothing is good
or bad after he has worn it, but it is diff
ficult TO tell before. Cheap in price too
often means inferior N quality. Such
is not the case when you bny OF us.
Whatever You get here you can feel as
sured is the best that the money will
buy. We know the kind OF Clothes we
sell, and we know that they are GOOD,
for we make every stitch ourselves. we
know that the cloths we use are GOOD
aud will wear we'll and not change color
We know that the trimmings are GOOD,
and that they will stand hard wear and
abuse. We know the cutters andtailors
we employ to he as GOOD as can be
found, and we therefore know that the

skimped in any particular.

less it is to be going to a tailor. Never
have we had a stock so brighte and 30 full

made as they should be-handsomeiy
made. beautifully finished, and perfect
in fit. Impossible to tell them from
tailor-made, SO closely do they resem-
BILE. The difference between the price
the tailor asks and theprice VI get is In
deed a thing worth a thought n co9
sideratlon in such times as these. we
can save you half If not more. Think
