devour, leaving the unfortunate animal

Cuticura Remedies.

81 had eczema on my hands for ten
years. At first 1t would break out
only in winter. Then it finally came
to stay. l had three good doctors to
dc all they could, but none of them did
any good. | then used one box OK
Cuticura Ointment and three bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent, and was com.
pletely cured. My hands were raw
all over, inside and out, and the &C.
zema was spreading all over my body
and limbs. Before l had used one bot.
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, together
with the Ointment, my sores were
nearly healed over, and by the time
| had used the third bottle, l was en-
tirely we'll. l had good appetite and
was feshier than l ever was. To any
one who has any skin or blood dis
ease I would honestly advise them to
get the Cuticura Remedies, and get

Mlcrobe Of Gray Hair.
They have discovered a new mic.
robe in New York and 1t Is quite popu-
lar among actors and society women.
1t Is called the chromophage. Its spe-
cial function being to turn the hair
gray at a comparatively early age. The
handsome actor who has those white
hairs on his temple that the women
admire so is full of the chromophages.
Baldheaded men are immune from the
microbes He only attacks the hair.
and man without hair need not wor-
ry about the chromophage. For years
it was thought that process OF the
blood killed the coloring matter of the
hair cells, but scalpologists in New
York combat that theory. They say
it is the chromophage. The nicrobe
does not like heat and for that reason
the woman who uses the curling tongs
is less likely to have gray hair than
the one who puts her hair up in pa
pers.

Having been published
three months, has existed
long enough to give assur-
ance of future success. II
has done more than a great
many other newspapers
have done in the beginning.
1t has paid it way from the
start, with every promise of
an increased patronage in
the future.
That the publication of this
journal has met with obsta-
clcs, is not disputed, but un-
der eisting conditions, it has
made remarkable strides
forward and still hopes for a
greater prosperity.
The field is here for such
Il newspaper, and if our
friends will only have conf
dence and continue their
patronage we shall soon
have a better newspaper in
every way and established
in such a manner that Obsta-

no longer.
