SORES ON HANDS.
Suffered fer a Long Time Without
Relief-Doctor Was Afraid to
Touch Them-Cured by
Cuticura.

For a long time I suffered with
sores on the hands which were itch
ing. painful and disagreeable. I had
three doctors, and derived no benefit
from any of them. One doctor said
he was afraid to touch my hands, so
you must know how bad they were;
another said I never could be cured;
and the third said the sores were
caused by the dipping of my hands
in the water in the dye-house where
/ work. / saw in the papers about
the wonderful cures of the Cuticura
Remedies and procured some of the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
In three days after the application
of the Cuticura Ointment my hands
began to peel and were better. The
soreness disappeared, and they are
now smooth and clean, and 1 am still

FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD
Found in Small Stream in the High
Sierras, Says Expert.

The finest trout in the world, says
DR.. Barton w. Evermann of the bu-
reau of fisheries, is to be found in a
little stream of the high Sierras in
southern California called Volcano
creek. The trout is named the golden
trout" and in beauty of coloring
gameness and delicacy of flavor it has
no equal
So far as is known, it exists only
in this stream, which is about 20
miles in length. President Roosevelt
recently called attention of the bureau
of fisheries to this unique specimen.
with the result that DR.. Evermann was
sent to California to study it's habits
and environment and to see whether
1t might not be introduced elsewhere.
He reports that the trout is in dan
ger of determination and that fishing
in the stream must be prohibited by
the state of California for three years
If the trout is to be saved. DR.. Ever
mann has also recommended that the
bureau of fisheries undertake the ar
tificial propagation of the troCA and
cooperate with the state of California
in transplating it to number OF bar
rem streams that can be easily
reached.-National Geographic Maya

WILL AGAIN BUY SILVER.
For the First Time in Thirteen
Years the Government VIII
Purchase the White Metal.

Washington, D. c. For the first
time in thirteen years the govern
ment announced Thursday its purpose
to purchase silver for coinage purpos-
es. Tenders are invited at the Office
of the director of the mint in this
city on Wednesday, the Is instant, up
to 1 o'clock p. M, and every Wednes-
day thereafter until further notice.
The stock in the treasury had be-
come so low that it was apparent,
according to the department, that the
demands of constantly enlarging
trade could not be met without addi-
tional coinage. The secretary of the
treasury was in doubt wheTther exist
ing statutes authorized him to buy any
bullion for this purpose, and, more
over, was of the opinion that it
would be better policy to meet flu
ture demands for subsidiary coin by
the recoinage of silver dollars in the
treasury. Congress. however, having
failed to act upon his recommends
ton, Secretary Shaw requested an
opinion from the attorney general as
to his authority to purchase bullion
for this purpose under existing law,
and he received a favorable reply,
based on section 1926 of the Revised
Statutes. The policy now announced
was accordingly determined upon.
The last purchase under the act of
1890 made on October 90, 1893, was
at 72 cents per ounce. From that
date until the present the government
has been out of the market for the
purchase of silver except as the
agents of the Philippine government
in the purchase of 13 IL million oun-
ces, costing 1886, 995, or an average
of 1854 IL. The lowest prices for
silver was touched on December 3,
1902, when the price on the London
market was equivalent to $.047S per
fine ounce; the average for last year
on the London market was 81 cents
per ounce and for the month of July
last 66 cents per ounce.

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Dioested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm If you
can't digest lit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
he true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago 1 contracted very
annoying form of Indigestion. My
stomach was in such a condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet
but finally had to give it up, and
found a great change upon a cup OF
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means saving of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain of
ten pounds In weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts.

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
It Is Dedicated by the w. L. Douglas
Co. at Brockton.

The dedication a short time ago of
the new administration and iobbing
house building erected by the w. L.
Douglas Shoe Co. as part of it's nam
moth manufacturing plant at MontelIo
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm in all it's undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from II a. m. to 8 D. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye, especially the offices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over 1000 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the w. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufacture
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says "the latch string is always out"
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
N~S "SAA as ILO ACW anu VS.
itors were received and escorted
through the Industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and Gus
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive, With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and so feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry
complete stock of mems, boys, youths,
misses and children's shoes, slippers,
trubbers and findings equal to any job
bling house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience There
will be finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des-
patch of mail.
