NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Wonderfui Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice of it at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then l began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but l became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep 1t irritated, and it
was not long before I could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks ! would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
I used four boxes of Cuticura 1 was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 319

"a SMALL THINo."

Do you believe in progress? Do you
believe that all the wonderful achieve
ments of the nineteenth century-the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone,
electric light, kerosene, sewing ma
chine, agricultural machinery, steam
ships, trolley cars, etc.-have made
life easier and better worth living? /
do l believe that man who lives
40 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life
than Methusalem, though he had lived
20 centuries of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth CEN
tury were triumphs of human service
the placing of knowledge and the
fruits of knowledge within the reach
of the common man. Every mans
life Is better, happier, more secure be-
cause of them. We live more comfort
able, more sociable lives in better an6
more comfortable houses because of
them. Even the hopeless dweller in
the worst city slums Is more COM
Portable in his physical conditions than
the middle-class citizen of the days Of
George Washington.
In little things as in great, comfort
and convenience have been the legacy
of the Century of Improvement
Paint, in a certain sense. is a minor
matter, yet 1t gives beauty, healthful-
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was serious
proposition, luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To-
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so
good, and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property well painted.
A small thing, indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet can of good
ready mixed paint, such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, en-
bodies the study of generations OF
skilled chemists, the toll of a thou
sand workmen in mill, laboratory and
factory, and the product of long
series of special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
of paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety of tints, colors and shades.
1t was a wonderful century that
nineteenth of our era, and not the
least of its wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can OF paint.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
A Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Stronu.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
hts of the 'blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The PATIENTS eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies i'll toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 3t4 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says; "Some
years ago l became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when I
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time. every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then I
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
| for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches, I
sleep well and feel strong and able to
| do my work."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight Mt the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, 30 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams'

HERO OF THE kEARsAReE.
Rooster, Although Fatally Burned
Wanted to Help Others.

Koester was badly burned. Some
how, he had managed to get out of
the turret, but no sooner was he
outside than he wanted to go back
in 20 help those who were still there.
says the New York Sun, in telling
the story of the awful explosion. An
ensign ran forward. His first words
TO Rooster, standing there sightless
and dying, with clothes and flesh
burned away, were: Don't touch
yourself" Koester was doing his best
to keep on with his work.
I'm hurt bad" said he, rbut I'm
not saying anything"
Butter and lard were brought up
from below and applied to his awful
wounds. Rooster was taken to the
sick bay and laid on a cot. He be-
came delirious and it was evident
that he was going to die. The attend
ants, busy with other wounded, lis
tetned to him.
With voice just as clear and sharp
as 1t had been few minutes before
when the Kearsarge was bounding
through Mazanillo bay, with the big
13-inch gun blazing away at the tar
get, Koester was putting his crew
through target practice.
s "Bulls-eye-a beauty" he called, as
his delirious brain saw shell hit
the distant target. "Bulls-eye," he
sang out again Bully work" One
by one Koester counted many hits.
He reached 10 "bulls-eyes.' and add
ed word of encouragement.
Twenty shots and 20 hits. Hur-
rah for the Kearsarge!' and Koester
threw up HIS arms and died.

THREATEN DEATH

Boy Held Captive by New
York KidnaperS Since
September 81.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Mystery is
the predominant characteristic in
the disappearance Of Willie La Bar
bara, four years old, supposed to be
in the hands of kidnapers who
are demanding $4,000 ransom from
his parents, MIR. and Mrs. Frank La
Barbara, of So Second avenue. un-
der threats that the boy viii be
killed and his body cut up and scat
tered about the city, unless the
money Is forthcoming.
Mother Nearly Distracted.
The police have been working
on the case since September %, but
all efforts to solve the puzzle have
proved unavailing. As the days go
by with no word Of the absent child
the mother Is approaching a point
of total collapse.
Willie disappeared on September q.
having followed a man with whom he
had been on friendly terms for several
days and who had frequently given the
child candy. A special delivery letter
reached the mother the same dav saw
ing the boy was IN the hands OF friends
and not 20 worry about him. BeIiev-
ing some friends had taken him as a
hoax the matter was not reported 70
the police for two days.
Ransom Of $4,000 Demanded.
Since then four letters have been re-
celved by the parents demanding s. 000
ransom, saying the boy was held by
kldnapers. In each letter the threats
against the child grew stronger. The
last letter contained a Jock Of hair
which the mother Is sure was cut from
Willes head.
No method OF paying the ransom de-
manded IS mentioned IN the letters and
no motive IS disclosed for the kidnap-
ing. There Is no clue on which the pO-
lice can work and they frankly admit
they are mystified and have no theory
to account for the apparent kidnapping.
The police are also mystined over the

only requirement put forward by those
forming IL.
The money so received win be devoted
exclusively TO the promotion Of the
Greater Washington boom.
Therefore, the club. which has as its
expressed object the boosting Of the
citys population TO the 10000 mark.
