AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All
Over the Body-Skin Cracked and
BIeeding-Cured by Cuticura.

81 was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. I used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days I was completely cured
and | think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made it's appearance in red spots,
generally forming circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off, To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If / let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. | suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable. w. M. Chidester, Hutch
inson, Kan. April 20. 1905

miles from Newport News, four miles

FARAFINlNG CHEESE.
Ii Must Not Be Done Until the Cheese
Has Done Shrinking.

Parafining is profitable process,
and is not likely to be abandoned.
But there are things about it that
must be learned. One of these is that
cheese must not be parafined too
quickly after coming from the hoops.
In that case the shrinking of the
cheese afterwards causes the parafine
to crack and the air gets into the
cracks and of course quickly dries out
the cheese in spots. After coming
from the hoops the cheese should be
permitted to remain uncoated for
abort a week, according to the expe-
RE of some cheesemakers. The
parahning of cheese, says Farmers
Review, is to save the loss from
shrinkage. Probably the cheese is
better for retaining this moisture, as
q dry cheese is not so desirable as a
moist one. It is probable that the
ripening will go on more uniformly
In a moist cheese than in dry one
and that the curing will be more COM

FOLLOW QUEEN vIcToRIA's FAD
Dainty Embroidered kerchiefs the
Proper Thing When Made at Home.

In common with the majority of her
sex, Victoria, the queen of Spain, has
a pet fad of making dainty handker-
chiefs. Little inconsequent affairs of
, the SheereSt linen with a tiny inset
embroidered border, her royal mono
gram in one corner, and sometimes,
by way of finish, an edging of rare
Valenciennes or Mechlin scarcely
more than a third of an inch wide.
All the handkerchiefs in her trousseau
are handmade, and all except the
priceless lace ones that have come to
her as gifts or heirlooms partake Of
these general characteristics.
That is why the society girl on
either side of the Atlantic has gone
daft over the little embroidered
mouchoirs that have just come into
vogue.
To possess a set of handkerchiefs
of ones own embroidery is, however,
the special fad of the moment, and
many of the betrothed young women
who expect to become brides in the
near future have laid in a stock of
sheer handkerchief linen at two dol
lars a yard, and are converting it at
odd moments to mouchoirs which are
decidedly things of beauty" whether
or not they are destined to be a joy
forever.
The old but stunning handkerchiefs
of colored or checked batiste are real
ly new development of the automo-
bile craze, for it is impossible to keep
ones mouchoir in a state of immacu-
late whiteness during long dusty
trip in bubble wagon.
The colored handkerchiefs are, how
ever, extremely smart, akd they are
certainly not extensively cheap, for
the prices run all the way from so
cents to two dollars Some very
pretty designs are shown, and the col
orings are charmingly blended. the
pastel shades being In the lead.

OF the holding of eXpositions there
seems to be no end, and Jamestown,
va. is next in line for recognition as
the promoter of the exposition type
of entertainment and exploitation.
And perhaps no place in the country,
from historic and romantic associa-
lions with the history of the United
States is more entitled to the popular
Endorsement and patronage than this
place in the beautiful garden-land of
Virginia.
It is three centuries since the first
English settlement in America was
made at Jamestown, and it is pro-
posed that the ter-centennial of this
event shall be celebrated next year
from May / to November /. Elaborate
preparations are being made, and the
prospects are bright for the holding
of a successful exposition.
In connection with the event will
be an international naval, marine and
military celebration on the waters
of Hampton Roads, Va, near the cit
les of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport
News, Hampton and the Government
Reserve, Fortress Monroe.
The site selected is the most his
toric portion Of American territory.
The first settlement was at James
town island, about 30 miles from Nor
folk up the James river, but on
account of the convenient transporta-
ton facilities, it was decided to hold
the exposition at the most suitable
point near jamestown, where the mag

Suit Over Sinking Of Missouri River
Steamer

day in the circuit court by Capt. John
T. Massie against Francis w. B. Flu
qua, executrix of the estate of the
late Capt. Isaac G. Baker, of Fort Ben
ton, Mont, and w. G. Conrad, also of

OF assets of co-partnership firm
which, though still existing, has trans
acted no business since 1882 when
it's principal property, the steamer Col
onel Mcleod, collided in the Missouri
river with the steamer Red Cloud and
sank.
Massie, Baker and Conrad began the
operation of the Colonel Mcleod in
1873. Massie was captain from then
until 1881. when he met with an &C.
cident necesistating his retirement
He was succeeded as captain by Bak-
err.
The sunken steamer was never rails
ed but $4,000 in salvage was taken from
the hold. Lengthy litigation between
the owners of the two steamers ended
in a United States supreme court
judgment in favor of the Colonel Nc
Leod" owners for $4,000.
Massie asserts that as a result of
the accident to him he was incapac-
itated many years, and that no ac-
count of his share of the earnings of
the cOpartnership and it's other as
sets was ever rendered him. He
claims he never received anything but
his salary. After many years, he

up the business of the firm, prepare
tory to making an accounting. But
