NORIlHFIELD OFFICERS

Northfeld, July "a. Much criticism
is heard of the attitude of the Off
Gals in the matter of intoxication. 1t
seems to be the policy to modest no
drunken person provided he is not
making a disturbance and sometimes
such a character receives tip from
the officers to make himself scarce.
That class of parsons who regard in
toXication as a misdemeanor in itself,
think that such paternalism is hardly
within the meaning of the law and
hint that it is done for the purpose of
keeping to the minimum the number
of arrests for intoxication, figure
that may be of use when next the town
votes on the matter of license. Six
persons, in as many different stages
of intoxication, were seen yesterday
forenoon at one time on the common.
None were making any disturbance,
but all were Enthusiastically under the
influence of intoxioants. 1t is probab-
ly a conservative statement to say that
high license has largely increased the
amount of visible drunkenness in
Northfield.

Speedily Cured by CutiCura
Soap, Ointment and Pills,
When All Other Remedies and
Best Physicians Fail.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, Sl.OO.

In the treatment of torturing, disfig-
uring, itching, scaly, crusted, pimply,
blotchy and scrofulous humours of the
skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair,
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills have
been wonderfully successful. Even
the most obstinate of constitutional hui
mours, such as bad blood, scrofula, in
herited and contagious humours, with
loss of hair, glandular swellings, ulcer
GUS patches in the throat and mouth,
sore eyes, copper-colored blotches, as
well as boils, carbuncles, scurvy, sites,
ulcers and sores arising from an inn
pure or impoverished condition of the
blood, yield to the Cuticura Treatment,
when all other remedies and methods
fail.
And greater still, if possible, is the
wonderful record of cures of torturing,
disfiguring humours among infants and
children. The suffering which Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment have alleviated
among the young, and the comfort
they have afforded worn-out and wor-
ried parents, have led to their adoption
in countless homes as priceless cura-
tives for the skin and blood. Infantile
and birth humOurs, milk crust, scall
head, eczema, rashes and every form of
itching, scaly, pimply skin and scalp
humours, with loss of hair, of infancy
and childhood, are speedily, perma-
nently and economically cured when
all other remedies suitable for children,
and even the best physicians, fail.

Sanders possesses great natural abil-
