RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS.
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema -Mother Says: "Cuticura Reme-
 dies a Household Standby"

"Last year, after having my little girl treated by very prominent physician, for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cutieura Remedies, and was so we'll pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physi. clans prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint. ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Rene. dies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely we'll and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. We find that the Cuti. cura Remedies are valuable house. hold standby, living as we do, twelve miles from doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol lars to come up on the mountain.

Defined by Customs Men as a Bird, .
 Handbag and a Dog.

On the travels of . monkey from Genoa to Heidelberg an amusing farce might be written. A German gentle men brought from southwest Africa a tiny monkey weighing barely a couple of pounds. From Tanga to Genoa all went we'll with the Lilli- putian animal. It was a favorite with everyone, and travelled free until Genoa was reached, when its troubles began.
 Brought under the notice of the Ge- noese customhouse authorities, it was promptly deprived of it's identity. It was no longer an animal; it became bird, and as bird, on which 2s cents was charged, it was conveyed to the Swiss frontier, where, at a stroke of the customhouse officers wand it was transformed into a cat at the in- creased assessment of $156, and borne by train to Zurich.
 On it's arrival there 1t ceased. as a cat, to exist, and became a mere pack age-an item of luggage that was con. veyed to Constance for the nominal sum of 16 cents
 Still as luggage, though metamor- phized from a package Into a handbag. tt went on its way to Stuttgart, where . great honor awaited it. It was, on payment of $2.04, exalted into a dog. and 1t was as a dog that it ended it's journey at the university town of Heidelberg Stories.

ITS THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
 Troubles.

Nervous troubles are more often caused by improper food and indiges- tion than most people imagine. Even doctors sometimes overlook this fact. man says:
 Until two years ago wafffes and butter with meat and gravy were the main features of my breakfast. Final. y dyspepsia came on and found my self in a bad condition, worse in the morning than any other time. would have a full, sick feeling in my stom- ach, with pains in my heart, sides and head
 At times I would have no appetite tor days, then l would feel ravenous. never satisfied when I did eat and so nervous I felt like shrieking at the top of my voice. I lost flesh badly and hardly knew which way to turn until one day bought box of Grape Nuts food to see if I could eat that. 1 tried it without telling the doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel as if had something to eat that was satis- flying and still I didn't have that heaviness that I had felt after eating any uther food.
 T hadn't drank any coffee then in five weeks. I kept on with the Grape. Nuts and in a month and half l had gained 15 pounds, could eat almost anything I wanted, didn't feel badly after eating and my nervousness was all gone. It's a pleasure to be well again"
