CUTICURA REMEDIES.
4 Remarkable Testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and
Trustworthy Lady.


"a tumor came N my neck and IN e
day OF two Il was as large e. half en-
orange. was very much alarmed for
fear It was malignant. Ny friends
tried 70 persuade me 70 consult my
physicians bat drsading that he would
insist on using the knife, / would not
consent 10 80. Instead, / got Cutioura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. I
took the former according TO direc-
lions, and spread q thick layer OF the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing it / would battle my neck IN very
warn water and Cuticura Soap. In
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling 20 q head, when Il
broke. Every morning it wa opened
with q large steriliEed needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and q yellow,
cheosy, humorous matter came ont. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was ell
gone, and my neck now seems T. be
perfectly well.

COLD STORAGE A BLESSING.
Regulates the Market Prices Of Per-
ishable Commodities, Especially
I'm the Line OF Eruit.

Few householders appreciate the
debt they owe to the cold storage sys-
tenn now so generally in use through
out the country. 1t has become a nee
essary adjunct to the rapidly develop
ing commercial orcharding Of the
country. It is the reservoir in which
the temporary o%versupply Of fruit is
placed and from which 1t may be uni
formly distributed throughout the
year. From the earliest times II has
been recognized that some provision
must be made to store up the temper
airy surplus and distribute it in time
Of greater need II an industry is to
grow into permanenCy and stability,
and II violent fluctuations IN supply
and demand are to be avoided, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
The danger Of ~so-called o~verproduc-
ton is greatest In an industry when
no provision Is made to equalize the
distribution Of the products through
out the year. There can be no general
ovsrproduction when the majority OF
the people Of the world are still under
supplied, and an industry becomes
safe and attractive when man masters
the art Of handling the temporary
~oversupply and Of converting 1t into
= steady uniform supply to an inereas-
