Alabama lady's
CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and a few covering my body, which
produced severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
was forced to call in two of the leading
physicians of my town. After a thor
ough examination of the dreaded COM
plant they announced it to be skin
eczema in its worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length of one
year, but the treatment did me no good.
Finally / became Respondent and
decided to discontinue their services.
Shortly afterwards, my husband in read
ing a copy of a weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. He purchased the en-
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
in connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. / continued the use of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. / have not felt symp-
tom of the eczema since, which was three
years ago.
"The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me of that dreadful disease,
eczema, but other complicated troubles
as well; and have been the means of
others being cured of the same disease
by the Cuticura Remedies, and don't
hesitate in saying that the Resolvent
is the best blood medicine that the world

Orchestra Strikes.-As curtain

fat German 'cellist, who had been
playing industriously through the over
ture, wiped his perspiring face, stow

and then calmly walked out. He was
followed by seven other musicians.
All are members of the musicians
union. The only man who remained
was the leader, Charles Quinn. Mana
ger Frederick c. Eberts had been pre-
pared for the strike. He had seven
flee. When the curtain was rung down
at the conclusion of the first act, the
substitutes appeared in the orchestra
pit. Leader Quinn took up his baton,
and the musical program proceeded
without interruption. No one in the
audience was aware of the change.

small vaudeville house, had been dark
ened for moving pictures, and when
the shot was fired the 400 people in
the audience thought it part of the
performance and no panic resulted.
The act was caused, it is said, by jeal-
