Cuticura Works Wonders.

Il suffered with eczema six months.
l had tried three doctors, but did not
get any better. 1t was on my body

hardly put pin on me without touch
ing eczema. My face was covered,
my eyebrows came out, and then it got

doctor He asked me what was tax
ing for it, and l told him Cuticura. He
said that was a very good thing, but

Airs. lHes/erGuw

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
Upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenthS of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessnesS and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
OF the female organism.
Do YOU experience fits of depression
with reStlessneSs, alternating with
extreme irritabilitv? Are your spirits
easily affected so that one minute you
laugh and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do YOU feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound {:
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO. your nerves arc in Il sha tered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia <. Pinkham's Vege-
tabae Compound: thousands and thou

The Innocent Immigrant.

Robert Watchorn. the we'll known
commissioner of immigration, has made
a sympathetic and thorough study of the
Immigrant types that reach New York.
Discussing these types the other day,
he said:
THE most naive are the Germans
from the smaller and remoter states.
They have the charmingly simple and
quaint minds of children.
"A beautiful German girl disembarked
here the other day. She was tall and
strong, blue eyed, and yellow haired.
She wanted to know at once it there
were any letters for her.
The postmaster at the pier. after
getting her name, said. by way of a
joke:
"Is it business or a love letter
that you expect"
THE girl faltered.

Dog Stole SnnnqeS.

Dixie. the pretty little cocker spaniel
owned by Jail Warden Charles Rogers.
at New Brunswick, walked into the jail
the other day with small sponge tagged
'15 cents" He turned it over to the
warden. Next day Dixie came in with
a larger sponge marked "45 cents" Still
later Dixie brought a big sponge marked
''S5 cents
Last night the warden went to Van
Deursen's drug store with Dixie at his
heels. Dixie at once went shopping
around the sponge rack.
''Is that your dog?' asked Manager
Hoagland.
Rogers said it was.
"Well, he's been coming in here lately
and stealing sponges. We would pet
him a little and the first thing we knew
he would be tearing up Paterson street
with a sponge in his mouth. He's a nice
dog, but | guess his associations up at
the Jail must have corrupted him.

TIE Proper Way

Children should early be taught the
proper way to open and hold a book.
All heavy books require especial care.
When too heavy for the hand they
should rest on a table or a stand
No one ever should be allowed to
lean upon an open book. The books
that can be handled without effort
should be allowed 20 rest with their
