CHiLD'S AWFUL SKIN EiUMOR.
Screamed with Pain-Suffering Near ly Broke Parents Heart-Speed-
 fly Cured by Cuticura.

T wish to inform you that Cuticura Remedies have put stop to twelve years ot misery l passed with my son. As an infant 1 noticed on his body 8 red spot, and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger 1 put him under the care of doctors. Under tha.r treatment the disease spread to four diff ferent parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day 1t would get rough and form like scales At night it would be cracked, inflalned, and badly swollen. with terrible burning and itching. When think of hls suffering, 1t nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard down stairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. 1 had no ambl- tion 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 l saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give 1t trial. I tell you that Cutcura Ointment is worth its weight in gold. and when l had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, my child was cured lie is now twelve years old, and his skin Is as fine and smooth as silk Michael Steinman, Sumner Avenue, Broolly n, N.

GOTHAM CREST.

In New York city there is one police man to each 459 persons.
 New York's cemeteries, with their 3,155 acres of land, are sufficient for the burial of the city's dead. at the present death rate, for 150 years.
 Since Peter Minuit, in 1926, bought Manhattan island from the Indians for SPA in merchandise. there has been a daily average of 39 persons arriy- ing in the territory now known as New York city.
 If the sewers of New York city were placed end to end in a straight line they would reach from here to Pike's Peak, 1,710 miles, and the paved streets of the city would make a road along one side of them all the way.
 If the wind that blew over New York city in one week recently should continue its way, at it's average ve locity, it would make the circuit oi the earth and be back there the last week in August. for 1t moved at the rate of nine miles an hour.

PURPOSE OF THE COURT.
Az Understood by a Lawyer Who Knew How to Cireum-
 vent It.

Hon. A. G. levitt, lawyer politician and man of sarcastic wit, was once trying case in the supreme court in elfast Me, his home city. The judge presiding, before being called to the bench. had tried many cases against Jewett, who did not entertain a very high opinion of his ability, relates the Boston Herald.
 In his closing argument JeWett in defiance of the rules of the court, started in to read some law to the jury. The court pounded on the bench and said: ''Mr. Jewett, you must not read law to the jury in your closing argu- ment." Jewett kept on reading with out so much as a glance at the court. The court, in thunderous tones, order ed him to stop.
 Jewett, who had by this time read all he intended to read, turned calmly to the judge and said Did your honor address me?8
 'I said" roared the judge, you must not read law to the jury in your closing argument. I will give the law to the jury. What do you suppose the court is here for?"
 What is the court here for?" re- sponded Jewett, in high falsetto, T suppose you know, sir, to keep order, with the aid of the sheriff, str, with all due respect to tho eheriff air."

"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until Ten O'clock; the Rest of the Day
 Will Take Care of Itself J

This is one of the best little ser mons we know. Have you ever stopped to think that the morning IS the time when your temper is usu- ally ruffied, and have you ever stopped to think that the cause of bad temper in the mornin is nearly always because your stomach has not been working properly during the night? IL has contained lot of indi- gestible substances that form gas and makes you have dreams. It breaks up your rest and you wake up in the morning tired, instead of re. freshed, as nature intended you should.
 Our grand sires required no ad- monition to Be pleasant every morn. ing until 10 o'clock; the rest of the day will take care of itself" for they digested their food and woke up full of life and energy ready for the days duties, and this was because they lived on simple foods instead of high ly seasoned palatable connections, which contain no nourishment. Ma. ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs, and on these foods a person can live indefinitely, but if the milk is skinned, and if the outside of the wheat is taken off the kernel, and if the lime, the salt, and the iron, which IS in the outer part of the wheat berry, if these are all removed. you have simply starch alone; the starch goes into the stomach and becomes sugar.
 Do you know that a person would starve to death on plain white bread and water? Do you know that he could live indefinitely on whole wheat bread or on whole wheat food ana water? These interesting facts are all set forth in book called Back to Nature" which tells about proper living and gives recipes for meals of the simple kind-the kind that makes you strong and we'll; the kind that makes you Pleasant every morning until 10 o'clock" This book is pub. !ished at a great expense, but it is given free to every reader of this paper. It is an advertisement of "EGG-O-SEE, the great food-whlch is made from whole wheat, which is baked and predigested and is all ready to serve from the package you buy at your grocers. You get more life and energy from a 10-cent pack age of EGGO-SEE than you will get from a thousand dollars worth of white bread. This is no idle claim. It is scientific fact. We want to tell about this simple food question, so write us and say Please send me copy of your book Back to Ma. ture, and the book will be sent you at once without charge.

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
 for Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi- nary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts
 A physician speaks of his own ex- perience:
 T had used coffee for years and really did not exactly believe it was inJuring me although l had palpita. ton of the heart every day.
 Finally one day a severe and al. most fatal attack of heart trouble frightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead and since that time I have had ab- soiutely no heart palpitation except on one or two occasions when I tried small quantity of coffee which caused severe irritation and proved 10 me l must let it alone.
 When We began using Postum il seemed weak-that was because we did not make it according to direc tions-but now We put little bit oi butter in the pot when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full 15 min utes which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color.
 T have advised a great many oi my friends and patients to leave of, coffee and drink Postum, in fact daily give this advice" Name giver by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
 Many thousands of physicians use Postum in place of tea and coffee ir their own homes and prescribe it tc patients. There's a reason"

MERCURY MUSINGS.

The price of the crop is more i'm portant than the size of the crop. Yet some farm papers say never a word about the former problem.
 Representative Stanley of Kentucky scores the tobacco trust and declares that neither the Standard Oil Com nany, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany. nor any other combination of men outside the penitentiary, has so openly defied the law. But what is d little thing like law among the trustso
 Business men are slowly beginning to realize that the organized farmers are even more concerned about the price of the crop than the size of the crop. To raise a big crop and get no more for 1t than for small one affords little encouragement to industry.
 Improved labor saving machinery does not result in shortening our hours of labor as it should-because it is manipulated for private gain.
 We only waste our breath to rail at the trusts. Their existence depends entirely on our patronage. As soon as we begin to practice true co-opera- ton. and do for ourselves what We now permit the trusts to do for us, .he trusts will disappear as the mist before the morning sun.
 Most of the cotton mills in this State kep adding new buildings and more machinery, which affords pretty conclusive evidence that it is proving to be very profitable business.
 Then and now.-Seventy years ago it required three hours and three min utes' human labor to produce bushel oi wheat. Today it requires ten min utes. Yet the wheat farmer works as many hours today as he did seventy years ago.
 Hasten the day when the producer and the priee-fixer will be one and the same

TONIC TREATMENT
Weak Stomach and Sick Headache Cured by Or. Williams
 Pink Pills

The symptoms of stomach trouble vary. Some victims have a rayenous appetite, others loathe the sight of food. Often there IS feeling as of weight on the chest, full feeling i'll the throat. Sometimes the gas presses on the heart and leads the sufferer to think he has heart disease. Sick headache IS a ire quent and distressing symptom.
 A weak stomach needs a digestive tonic and that there Is no better tonic for this purpose than Dr. Williams Pink Pills is shown by the statement of MT. A. c. Merrill, mining man, of Oneals, Callf., a veteran of Battalion c, Third U. $. Regular Infantry.
 '' 1 had never been well since l left the army, he says, always having had trouble with my stomach, which was weak. 1 was run down and debilitated. Could keep nothing on my stomach, and at times had sick headache so bad that l did not care whether 1 lived or died. My stomach refused to retain even liquid food and 1 almost despaired of getting well as l had tried so many kinds of medicine without relief. Then l was bitten by rattlesnake and that laid me up from work entirely for a year, six months of which l spent i'll bed.
 One day friend recommended Dr. Williams Pink Pills to me and I began taking them. They cured me when all other medicine had failed. 1 have recommended the pills to a great many, for during my recovery every one asked me what was helping me so and I told them Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I can- not speak too highly of them. ,
 If you want good health you must have good blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills actually make new blood and restore shattered nerves. They are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50c. per box, six boxes for S250 by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, NY.
