IT wish to inform you that the Cuticura
Remedies have put stop to twelve years
of misery l passed with my son. As an
infant l noticed on his body a red spot,
and treated same with different remedies
for about five years, but when the spot be-
gan to get larger put him under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts of
his body. The longer the doctors treated
him the worse it grew. During the day it
would get rough and form like scales. At
night it would be cracked, inhamed and
badly swollen, with terrible burning and
itching. When l think of his suffering it
nearly breaks my heart. His screams
could be heard down stairs. The suffering
of my son made me full of misery ] had
no ambition to work, to eat, nor could l
sleep. One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up for
bad job. One evening saw an article
in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura
and decided to give it trial. tell you

ENAMEL FINISH FOR SHELVES.
An excellent idea for pantry shelves
is to give them two coats of ordinary
white paint and then third finlsnlng
coat of white enamel. AS soon as the
enamel dries wash it over with cold
water, and then it will harden quickly.
Do not cover these shelves with Oil
cloth or paper, but leave them bare
and notice the improvement. AS
there are no covers under which
crumbs, ETC., can collect, there is
nothing to encourage mice, and the
enamel is easily cleaned with a damp
cloth. With enamel shelves it is new
er necessary to clean out the whole
pantry at once, for it keeps clean all
the time.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a. rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is. entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the indama-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in-
famed condition Of the mucous sur

He closed his eyes under her palm,

The worst snowdrifts experienced by
any railroad are said to be those in
Sweden. Although the cold IS not so
intense as in some Of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con-
tinuous. The snowplows Of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful in the
world. There are times. however, when
even this machinery fails to clear the
way, when hundreds OF men must be
employed to dig out the stalled trains.
