AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.

of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days was completely cured,
and | think permanently, as 1t was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle, leaving In
the center a spot about the size OF
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of a white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours
It was worse on my arms and limbs,
although 1t was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If let the
scales remain too long without remov-

these people grow their own supply
of vegetables and in doing so improve
their ply sical we'll being and add to
the few and simple joys of their life.
The German societies leased two
tracts of unimproved land near a
workingmen's district of Charlotten-
burg, subdivided them into "a plots.
and raffled them off among those who
applied for them, families with many
children being first considered. In
the center of every garden plot was
a playground for the little ones.
The societies started the work Of
preparing the ground and even fur
nished fertilizers and seeds. This be-
ing done, the plots were taken over
and cared for by the families to whose
share they had fallen. The enthu-
siasm and perseverance with which
these city dwellers entered upon their
farming was surprising.
Instead of crowding into a train or
a tram bound for the pleasure resorts
in the suburbs, these people place
their youngest child, their tools and
their lunch basket in the baby's car
riage and set out early in the morn
ing to spend their holiday in their
own garden. There father and moth
er work or rest, and the children play
in the open until late in the evening,
when one can see professions of them
returning to their city fats.
Nor is /. only on holidays that they
resort to their gardens. AS soon as
the warm weather has set in, the
wives go there early in the afternoon,
the children follow after school hours
and the father joins the family on
coming from his work. The principal
meal of the family being taken at
noon, it is quite possible for the fam
lily of a Berlin workingman owning
such a garden to spend from five to
seven hours daily in the open. When
not busy caring for their potatoes,
cabbages, cucumbers and other vege-
tables, the mothers sit in the shade
of the arbors sewing, while the chill
dren romp about.
There is a spirit of emulation among
the people WulCH ID cuCOuTdBeu Dy
the patrons, who at an annual harvest
feast view the results attained and
join in the general merrymaking. 1t
Is their aim not only to promote the
physical we'll being of the people. but
to foster feeling of neighborliness.
To strengthen this spirit of solidarity
and prevent an estrangement among
the plot neighbors during the long
winter, there Is at least one meeting
OF a social nature on the grounds in
the cold season.
This enterprise is hardly five years
old, but the 94 plots originally given
to the people in Charlottenburg have
become upward of 1,100 in various
parts of Berlin. Extraordinary rea.
sons must prevail If any owner de-
cides to give up his plot. When one
of those rare cases occurs, there are
hundreds of applicants eager to fill
the vacancy. The people cling to the
bit of ground as IL it were a valuable
old family place.

1t was at this moment, while the

gingerly over the loose rock and earth

While she looked on he would fight to

I'VE are a dozen Winchesters to

men back or there will be trouble"
Winton stood out on the edge of the
cutting, a solitary figure where a few
minutes before the earth had been
flying from a hundred shoyels.
The sheriff's reply was an order, but
not for retreat.
Hes one of the men we want;
cover him!" he commanded and Vir-
ginia caught her breath Was she to
see him shot down before her eyes?
Happily the tragedy was only poten-
tial. Unless the public occasion ap-
peals strongly to the sympathies or
the passions, a picked-up sheriff's s
posse is not likely to have very good
metal in It, Winton was covered by

Winton held his ground, waiting the
turn of events and looking on, not
without interest. while the sheriff
tried to drive has men up a bare slo1e
commanded by 200 rifles to right and
left. The attempt was a humiliating
failure. Being something less than
soldiers trained to do or die, the depu-
ties hung back to a man, hugging the

could not forbear a smile. 1t was too
much for the sheriff, the added straw,
and his exhortation to his foot-posse
burst into caustic profanity. Where
upon Mr.. Peter Biggin rose up in his
place, took careless aim, and sent a
bullet to plow little furrow in the
ice and frozen snow within an inch
of Deckert's heels.

"but no cuss words don't go In this

The crisis was past. Deckert with

Virginia sighed her relief, and Bes-

window, which she had deserted in. the
moment of impending battle.
"Oh-h-h! l wish Uncle Somerville

"Cant you persuade him, virginia?'
'I'll try" said Virginia, gravely,
foreseeing future tragic situations too
terrifying to be witnessed.

Winton snapped out his orders like a

The Greatest Of Statis-
teal War Books.
I
By hieut.-Coi. VIM. F. FOX.

It is universally admitted that "Regi-
mental Losses" compiled by Lieut.-Col.
William F. Fox, is the most accurate
and comprehensive book, of the statistics
of the war yet published. 1t is an en-
during monument of painstaking re-
search and accurate compilation 1t has
now been before the public for many
years and subjected to the closest scru-
tiny and criticism, with the universal
verdict of approval. No book in exist
ence contains in such a compact form
so many facts that everyone desires to
know. 1t has list of more than 1000
regiments which served in the Union
army, with the organizations in which
they served, their losses in battle, by
disease and otherwise, and brief but
compact histories of the leading regi-
ments, the noted brigades, divisions and
all the corps. Col. Fox supplemented all
that he could obtain from an exs nina
ton of the War Departments records
with researches into the State records
and those of the Pension Bureau. In it
is found a great mass of the most val
liable information which cannot be
found elsewhere. Everyone who served
in the army or is at all interested in the
history of the great rebellion should
certainly have a copy to place himself
on level with the best informed 1t IS

ters upon which it treats.
Several editions of this book have all

exhausted. OF the latest edition there

The book is a large quarto, with large,
clear type; its contents are admirably
arranged for ready reference, and it is
