"Disfigured
For Life"

Is the despairing cry of thousands
afflicted with
Unsightly skin diseases.
Do you realize what this disfgura.
ton means to sensitive souls?
1t means isolation, SecluSion.
1t a bar to social and business success.
Do you wonder that despair seizes
upon these sufferers when
Doctors fail,
Standard remedies fail,
And nostrumS prove worse than use
less?
Skin diseases are most obstinate to
cure or even relieve.
1t is an easy matter to claim to cure
them, but quite another thing to
do so.
CUTICURA REMEDIES
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.
CSC. invested in a cake of
CUTICURA SOAP
Will prove more convincing than

In short
CUTICURA works wonders,
And its cures are simply marvellous.

Island Pond, May 15.-There is apparently
one OF the worst forest fires of the season,
ana one that must prove very destructive,
now raging in the great woods back of the
lumber and manufacturing village of Hast
1ngs. All attempts to get Hastings by wire
or telephone have failed this evening, and
while there are some fears for the safety
OF the village, it is thought that it is more
probable that everybody has turned out to
light the fire, which at IL o'clock seemed to
under control. Before evening it was re-
ported from Hastings that the fire was go
Ing before high wind, and that it was
rapidly making headway. All the men in
the lumber camps andmills were out fight
ing the fire, and it was then thought that if
the wind died down as it since has, it would
be possible to prevent the spreading of the
flames to the thicker and more valuable
timber lands. If the mills at Hastings
escaped, the loss will be largely confined to
the timber, but must even under the most
favorable circumstances be very heavy. If
necessary tomorrow, assistance will be sent
to Hastings from other points. The timber
land burned over is owned by the Weld
R1ver Lumber company.

Fifty Miles of woodland in Danger.

Greenville, May 15.-Within a few miles of
Greenville are several bad fires, caused pre-

smoke was rolling away on the northwest
gale Sunday night. This fire started about
five o'clock Sunday afternoon in McPheter's S
old cuttings where he worked last winter
