WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
BY CuticuTa After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do a Cents Worth
of Good

az was troubled with sore hands, so
sore that when 1 would put them in
water the pain would nearly set me
crazy, the skin would peel off and the
flesh would get hard and break. There
would be blood flowing from at least
fifty places on each hand. Words could
never tell the suffering I endured for
three years. 1 tried everything, but
could get no relief. 1 tried at least
eight different doctors, but none did
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when got through doctoring as when
I began. also tried many remedies,
but none of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. 1 was discour-
aged and heart-sore. would feel so
bad mornings, to think 1 had to go TO
work and stand the pain for ten hours,
I often felt like giving up my position.
Before started to work would
have to wrap every finger up sep
arately, so as to try and keep them
soft, and then wear gloves over the
rags to keep the grease from getting
on my work. At night would have
to wear gloves; in fact, l had to wear
gloves all the time. But thanks to
Cuticura. that is all over now.

The Term "GseenhOrn.H

The term "greenhorn" originated in
this way: The pioneers Of the west
were much given to hunting deer. II
was a fact known to early settlers that
when the horn Of a fawn began to
grow there was a ring OF green hair
around the spot 1t was considered a
disgraceful thing for a hunter 70 kill a
fawn, a cruel act, and the killing tina
was regulated by the growth OF the
horn. There was sort Of unwritten
law that no one should kill male
fawn before Its horn could be seen. A
person who was so unthoughtful as to
kill a deer under the proper age was
called a "greenhorn." He was 30
named because the young horn Of the
deer and the hair around 1t were still
green. The use Of the appellation
gradually spread until 1t was applied
to all raw or inexperienced youths or
persons easily imposed upon.

Ls9ht and SOUND.

Light travels so vastly much faster
than sound that there Is no compATi-
son between their velocittea. The We
locity Of light is about 10000 miles a
second. At this speed light will travel
about eight times around the earth In
a second, and light starting from the
sun will traverse the 03,O00,0 900 miles
Of space intervening between the sun
and the earth in eight minutes, So It
Is seen light flashes from one part Of
the earth to another, even the most re-
mote, instantaneously, or practically
so. Sound travels worse than a snaiPs
pace as compared with light. going
only about LOO feet In a second. or
about a mile In FIVE seconds, or twelve
miles In a minute. These facts are no
ticed, though not always understood.

a few hundred yards away. The fash

taneously; the report Of the gun al
ways comes perceptibly later, the time
intervening being greater or less. ac-

in rough and ready fashion. Pepys

PepyB writes this: Took out my wife
and the two MERGERS and two Of our
maids, Barker and Jane, and over the
water to the Jamaica house, where l
never was before, and there the girls
did run for wagers over the bowling
green, and there with much pleasure
spent little, and so home" Luce was not
there, but the other maids were treated
as members Of the family.

vestment good clothes and many
friends might be. This doctor lived for
many years at leading hotels and at
evening mingled socially with the
guests. There was never a pleasanter
man than he at these leisure times, nor
man of better appearance, although
during the early years he was COLI
stantly In debt to his father, and In all
this social life he never mentioned his
profession or his work unless such per-
sonal talk came naturally into the con.
versahon. Each year he went to Eu-
rope and dined at the captains table,
always in immaculate evening clothes
Sometimes he went and returned by the
same ship, for there was little to gain
by staying abroad. Everybody liked
him, and today he has an immense
practice, a considerable proportion OF
which he admits frankly can be traced
to his steamship acquaintance. One
day a year ago he met a lawyer Of
about his own age and degree Of sue

HEAT AND TANNED SKINS.
The Miracle That Nature PERFORM
When Sunburn Occurs.

The Miracle That Nature Performs
When Sunburn Occurs.
There are certain arctic animals,
dark coated In the short summer that
in winter turn pure Vi tie, thus match
ing the snow covered landscape and
escaping notice and harm.
This change of color this protection,
effected no one knows how, is wonder
full, as wonderful as a miracle, and
yet a kindred change Of color, kin
dred protection, happens among man.
kind every summer, and nobody ever
notices IT,
When the pale city people go out in
the summer sun at the seashore or the
mountains the light attacks them
hercely, first reddenlng their skin,
then swelling, bllstering and scorching
it. If they kept in the sun enough.
and II no miracle occurred, the light
would kill them finally, burning of
the skin first and afterward attacking
the raw flesh.
But q miracle does occur. The skin
changes from a pale color to tan and
on this tan the sun has no effect. The
sun may beat on tan colored skin for
days and weeks, but such skin remains
always sound, upholstered, whole.
Thus nature works miracle. The
white skin is suffering, and nature,
aware, somehow, that a tan skin Is
sun proof, changes to tan the white.
How does she do this? Where did she
learn that 1t was wise to do thlsl No
one knows Only the fact Of the
miracle remains.
To prove this miracle-to prove that
1t Is not the hardening Of the skin,
but the change in Its color which pro-
tects It from sunburn--is an easy mat
ter.
Let a pale person, unused to the sun,
stain one side of his face yellow, and
leaving the other side untouched, 90
out in the bright summer sun for a
couple of hours. The one side Of his
face is no tougher, no more hardened
than the other, yet the unstained side
will be inhamed, blistered, while the
tan colored one will be quite cool and
unhurt.
Sunburn Is q miracle, protection
to mankind as inexplicable and as
wonderful as the miracle Of the arctic
animals change In the winter from
dark coats to snow white Ones.-New
