DAY passed the bill providing for the set

COULD NOT REST
NIGHT OR DAY
With Irritating Skin Humor-Whole
Body Affected Scalp ltched All
the Time and Hair Began to Fall
0ut-Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES

al am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since l tried
them last summer. About the latter
part Of July my whole body began to
itch. / did not take much notice of it
at first, but il began to get worse all the
time, and then l began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and othef
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but I became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Espe-
cially at night, just as soon as ! would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before l could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and l did, and the first appl-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks l would take hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and l kept getting better, and by the
time | used four boxes of Cuticura | was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dan
druff out and scalp is always clean. l
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. l will never be
without it." D. E. Blankenship,

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. 13.-The COM
mittee appointed by the Methodist
Book concern, for the purpose of de-
Gliding where the next general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church is to be held, met today at
the Eutaw Street church. and hear
arguments concerning the claims of
Baltimore as being the most suitable
city for holding the next general con-
ference. A subcommittee, consisting
of DR.. H. NJ. Wilson, and the Revs
w. F. Sheridan and C. w. Baldwin
will present the claims of Baltimore.
The other cities which are making
efforts to secure the general confer
ence are Boston, Buffalo and Cincin-
natl. The other cities have been in
the race some time and Baltimore
will have to make special efforts to
win. The general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church is the
most important body of the church
and one of the largest religious legis-
lative bodies in the world. 1t consists
of nearly 1000 delegates, representing

THE SOUTHERN BRANCHING OUT.
VIII Build $4,000, 900 Line Into North
Carolina.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 13.-The
work on the new line between Embree-
Vile, Tenn. and Marion, n. c.. for
which the contract has been awarded
to w. ]. oliver & Co, of this city, has
been begun and will be pushed with
great energy. The road, which will
be about 80 miles long, presents many
engineering difficulties and will re-
quire a number of tunnels. Its cost
will exceed 100000.
The Southern has been practically
forced to build this line owing to the
fact that the South and Western rail-
road built a branch along the Wau-
tauga river into the Carolinas. The
new line will be an important coal
line and will save the Southern a
haulage of about 20 miles. At pres
ent the road is hauling all the coal
from the Virginia fields into the Caro-
linas by way of Morristown. 1t will
require fully three years to complete
the new road.
