TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and
Limbs-An Old Soldier Declares:
"Cuticura 10 q Blessing"

AT all times and to all people I
I'M willing to testify to the merits Of
Cuticura. It saved me from worse
than the %tortures Of hades. about the
year 1900. with itching on my scalp
and temples, and afterwards It COM
menced to break out on my hands.
Then 1t broke out on my limbs. I
then went TO a surgeon whose treat
ment did me no good, but rather az
gravated the disease. I then told him
I would go and see a physician in
Erie. The reply was that | could 20
anywhere, but a case Of eczema like
mine could not be cured; that I was
too old (S0). I went to an eminent
doctor in the city Of Erie and treated
with him for six months, with like
results. l had read Of the Cuticura
Remedies. and so I sem for the Cuti.
cura Soap. Ointment and Resolvent,
and continued taking the R~esolvent
until had taken six bottles, stopping
1t to take the Pills. I was now get.
ting better. / took two baths a day
and at night I left the lather OF the
Soap dry on. I used the Ointment
with great effect after washing in
warm water. to stop the itching at
once. I am now cured. The Cuticura
treatment is a blessing. and should
be used by every n who has itching
Of the skin. I can't say any more
and thank God that He has given the
world such a curative. VIM. II. Gray.

VITALITY THE MAIN THING.
He Who Has II Pulls Through, the
Other Patient Dies.

Two men undergo operations OF the
same character In a hospital. The
same surgeon does the work. The con
ditions are Identical. Equal care is ex-
ercised in each operation and each Is
successfully performed. Yet one ma
RECEIVERS. the other dies. Or there is
a tremendous business pressure which
does not let up for months. 1t puts
the men under a terrible strain. One
man goes to pieces and his business IL
wrecked. He can not keep the pace;
he loses control Of himself. His rival
has no better brains than he-perhaps
not so good-yet he pulls through sue
cessfully. We say that there is a DIFF
ference IN vitality. that n man has
In the Worlds Work.
I once saw a man in n hospital who
was suffering from five fatal diseases
and yet he would not die. He had
kept on living year after year In spite
of everything. He refused TO succumb.
We find the same thing illustrated
every day. In a shipwreck there are
who seem to give up their lives
without . struggle. without any power
- sesfst; others cling to an open raft
for days without food. almost frozen.
constantly whipped by the waves. but
for some reason or other they survive.
The vitality in them is strong.
Notice how rapidly and surely one
man himself after %a.nervous
breakdown. while another drags along
through years Of semi.invaiidism. No
tice the results upon two men OF a long
cold drench OF rain. One of them
comes down with pneumonia. the other
suffers no III effects. How is II 10 be
explained?
He has n reserve somewhere-an
inner power OF resistance: an agrees
sive something that will not he downed
we call II vitality. A man can't have
a more valuable asset than that. II
means joy instead of dumps. success
instead OF failure. Joy. perhaps. instead
OF death.

ljuhts That Guide Mariners.

The coastwise lights of England"
OF which Kipling sings. have been In.
creasing in brilliancy as well as TX
number ever since the dawn OF the
nineteenth century. In that dark age
weary mariners crawled into port by
the fickering glare of % beacons ana

safely into haven under the powerful
beams of $50. Lighthouses are as an.
cient as civilization. The Pharos of
Alexandria flung its light on the decks
Of oriental barges 2.237 years ago.
The Romans. who loved the light, have

Dover may still be seen all that re-
mains of another. Petroleum and the
electric light have made the early
nineteenth century beacons ridiculous.
On the summit Of the tower an open
crate was fed with billets of wood and
later with coal. Scotland abandoned
coal altogether for more up.to-date
methods in 1916 and England six years
afterward.

IhE STORY.

THE day on which the children of
of terror in Jericho. The spies which
the king had sent out to watch the
movements of the lsraelites had re.
turned in haste telling strange sto-
ries OF how the waters of the Jordan
had divided and the people and all
over on the dry bed OF the river. and
were even TO- ON their way to attack
the city.
In their excitement and alarm the
1000 fighting men which had crossed
the river in advance had been magni-
fed into a great army, and quickly
the orders were given that the city
gates be closed tight and a double
guard be placed upon the wall. All
the fighting men OF the city were
speedily summoned and slept upon
their arms that night, expecting that
an assault might be made upon the
walls under owe OF darkness.
That was a terrible night In Jeri-
cho. People ran through the streets
like mad, cursing and fighting with
each other in their wild terror. and
alternately shouting maledictions
upon the Israelites and their God, and
calling upon their gods to hear them
and help them.
Rahab and her kinsfolk gathered
with her in her little house upon
the wall listened to the tumult with
out and wondered IL ;lready the 10
raelites had taken the city. But no,
1t could not be. for that evening as
the sun had set and Rahab had gone
to the window to see that the scarlet
cord, the pledge OF her deliverance,
was still in its place at the side OF
the easement, she had looked out
across the plain and had seen the
Israelites peacefully encamped.
but they will come tomorrow"
she thought. and as the tumult with.
out increased. she turned to reassure
her relatives gathered about her,
when a loud pounding upon her outer
door was heard. Tremblingly she
went to the door, and without draw.

was there and what was wanted.
The Israelites be upon us, Rahab,'
shouted a gruf voice, which she recog'
nized as that of the captain over the
guard which kept the wall, and who
had been a frequent visitor to her
house in times past. Flee into the
heart of the city, where the women
and children are being gathered. for

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in q report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American GUS
toners. Incidentally It indicates that
the United States is not alone In fac
ing increased cost Of living. The re-
port says: Owing to the rapidly in.
creasing cost Of living in Japan labor
costs more. and in consequence cul-
tivation Of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that Of a
