sa tiOnal sermon on the probable lynch
ing of White last evening. He took his
text from Corinthians V. IS: There

selves that wicked person In re-

Rev ElwoOd said:

condition and that is this-if his trial
should he delayed until September and
then. though he be proven guilty.
throHsh some technicality of the law or

ITALIAN ENDURANCE OF ARCTIC
COLD.
The narrative just issued by the Duke
Of the Abruzzi, in which his Royal
Highness gives his personal experiences
Of life and exploration in the Arctic
zone, is followed by the report of Cap
tain Cagni, commandant of the Stella
Polare. on a sledge journey to the high

wound up by the medical "reiazione" of
DR.. Achtlle Cavalli Molineili on the hy-
gienic aspects of the expedition. A few
excerpts from DR.. Cavalli Molineillrs
report may not be unwelcome.
begin with, Italians have always
shown themselves capable of enduring,
not only very high, but also very
low tennperature-the latter fact made
memorable by Baron Larrey, surgeon
general to the Emperor Napoleon's
"Grande Armes" in the disastrous re-
treat from Moscow in 1913, when, of all
the contingents, Murat's ten thousand
Neapolitans were found to have suf-
fered least, not only from the physical
priVatiOns common to the whole army,
but even firm the cold, which was as
prolonged as it was intense. This OBJ
servation of the French surgeon is con-
f1rmed by DR.. Cavalli Molinelli, accord
ing to whom the health of all on board
the Stella Polare was excellent-the
only exceptions being the Duke himself
and Commandant Cagni, whose scienti-
fic zeal so outran their prudence that
they suffered severely from frost bite,
resulting, in the commandments case es-
pecially, in LESSONS affecting the hands
and even costing his several fingers.

cautions} from fifteen or eighteen de-

this result to the absolute purity of the

of these subjects when nearing the
coast was seized with a sudden and
continuous desire to expectorate."
The rigorous limitation Of fermented

of distilled alcohol had also their inva-
riable effect in maintaining the health
of the party. DR.. Cavailli Molinelli al

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
Purest Of EnoIIients and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
of All Time
For Torturing, Disfiguring
Aumours.

Cuticura Ointmentis beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, distiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which a single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by dose Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief In the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to a speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t Is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hu-
mours, and preserving, purifying and
Identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants Of the toilet, In caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more e1fectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.
It's "Instant relief for skin-tortured
babies, Or" Sanative, antiseptic cleans
ing" or "One-night treatment Of the
hands," or "Sngle treatment of the
hair" or"Use after athletics" cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each in connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales. and dandruf, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, feelings and
chafings, as we'll az for all purposes of
